u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....

Ummmm sometimes you dread the weight of your life and other times it is an early morning in april and there are 5 species of birds singing and also the sun is shining through the baby leaves. Btw

“They call me observant. That’s not particularly true. People are so easy to read - we bleed emotions even in the way we drink our coffee. No one seems to notice though. They’re all too busy drinking their own damn coffee.”

also whilst i am talking about disability, there is an implication in some advocacy posts that i’ve seen that people don’t go around disabiling themselves. that is not true. sometimes, you are the reason you are disabled. (and i think it’s part of the reason why people get so weird about being addicted: you are seen as responsible for your own disability, but i digress) so i want you all to know: if you ever played a hand into either gaining a disability or worsening yours, you are still loved and cherished, and you deserve all the support and care as is the case with literally any other situation. support that comes with conditions is not true support.

December

Isn't it interesting how the season of lights and the season of darkness twine together

In a complex dance

Blending mysticism with the harsh reality of a bleak midwinter landscape

Spiritual enlightenment or self-delusion?

Holiday Merrymaking

it's not that I need a quiet day or a day off exactly; it's that I need a pocket of time that exists entirely outside of linear time as we know it that would allow me to get things done without time passing in the real world, and frankly, I don't think that's too much to ask.

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
