the sweater shield

If you see me put something over my shoulders

An open sweater or an oversized shirt that I shrug on

Maybe even a blanket if I’m at home

When it’s not even cold

When I don’t even seem cold

It’s because I feel kind of scared

I don’t feel really safe

I’m stressed and unsure

And I kind of want to hide from the world

But I want to keep walking around and acting normal

So I just have this on my shoulders for comfort

It means I’m not doing great but I am doing my best

Safety

She dreamed there was a secret hallway hidden behind the walls of her closet

An empty, clean, bright little hall

She dreamed of a home in a forest with a babbling brook

Overflowing garden

And amber glowing lamps

She dreamed of a fantastical hideout high in the redwoods

Invisible from the ground

Surrounded by green

And one day, when she entered, and put down the keys

And breathed deeply in, then out,

She knew she'd dreamed of safety and peace.

And that in the all the miles and years since that closet

That which was never awarded freely in youth

She had built inside herself

With love and care

And no one could take it away.

I’m trying to expand this project and add all kinds of new features. If you want to help, you can pledge 1$ to my patreon here, and in exchange, you’ll get access to a second project where I try to create the coziest/warmest art collection on the internet.

be = love

Have you ever thought about how loving yourself and being yourself go hand in hand. If you deny many parts of yourself, and don't feel free to act like yourself, it cannot be true that you love yourself just yet. By being yourself, you communicate to yourself that all your little quirks, preferences, even dreams, are no small thing. They are grand and lovable and important, just like you. And you deserve to seek out validation, like minded people, fun, adventure, love, attention, and passion, because you are worthy of love.

Also, likewise, being yourself truly, learning to embrace and listen to yourself, is just as challenging as learning to love yourself, isn't it?

For self love purposes I give you: Jin of BTS happily nomming away with his cute cheeks and goldfish mouth. he looks so content with himself I want to always feel that way ~^.^~

It's human

We need inherently as humans to know that we are not the only one like us. Not the only one who's lost all their hair, who sits alone all day in depression sometimes, who lost a limb, who lost their grip of what matters to them, who likes having pink hair or following kpop idols. Anything really. We are social. We see ourselves through the eyes of others so often which is why each time we see one image, one character, one person that is like us we feel more confident that we know who we are and that we can belong.

This is why representation matters. Because it defines our identities, not just for those around us, but for ourselves.

Hardly worth the mention

"I wish I had disPOSable income you know. Like....more of it," she muttered as she painted more rubbery eyebrow dye into perceived gaps. There was no one else present - she was talking to herself, an occurrence so common she hardly felt it worth the mention.

I just want to babble about how I’m  improving my life balance

Like, I actually have healthy food in my kitchen that I cooked, lots of veggies, rice, and peanut butter. I’m actually investing in my trip abroad that’s coming up by doing my research and getting excited, I’m learning to fix my sleep schedule, and I’m finally finishing up the first YouTube video I’ve made in a long-ass time. Yeah, I’m kinda tired and I don’t ever feel like I’ve gotten everything done, but the solution is simple. Just decide to say, “I’ve done all I could today, so I’m done. Time to get ready for bed, and rest.”

I’m also realizing just how much it takes it out of me to be fatigued all the time, because I’m gradually seeing what it’s like to be more invested in myself and awake. this is so exciting.
