#affirmations i tell myself

[eloquent-edits]

🗡️ It takes more than three words…

to say I love you in the ways you deserve 🗡️ words of affirmation prompts

“I can see that you care for them, even if you don’t say it directly. It’s in everything you do.”

“You deserve to relax.”

“That top complements your eyes really well!”

“Hey, you tried your best on that project. It may have fallen apart in the end—but you tried. That’s what matters.”

“I really admire how you stood up for them. That takes a lot of courage.”

“You make people feel safe. Like they can be themselves without judgment… at least that’s how I feel around you.”

“You’re looking less like you got dragged out of hell every day!” (“Thanks?” “Going to hell and back doesn’t mean you got any less attractive.”)

“I don’t think you were in the wrong. Now I’m not saying you were right, but you made a good point and I think they should consider that.”

“It’s okay to be just okay. I’m here for you no matter what.”

“We adore you! We want you around! You’re our friend, why wouldn’t we want to hang out with you?”

“You are worthy of love and friends and respect.”

“Keep going, you’re doing great!”

“Woah, that was sick. Can you teach me how to do that?”

“You look healthier, you really do.”

“I would be nervous too in your shoes. But you’d be telling me that I got this, so I’m telling you: You got this.”

“I’m so proud of you.”

“I really care about you and want you to become the best version of yourself, whoever that may be.”

“Regardless of your gender, you’ll still be allowed in the treehouse.” (this came from a really funny and reassuring conversation with a friend LOL)

“I trust that you won’t hurt me.”

“You’re a really wonderful person. The world would be a better place with more people like you.”

you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons

#‘out of nowhere’ she says like she hasn’t been doing a lot of reading/thinking recently about various tragic messy breakups #and the later regrets of the parties involved #anyway. tell me not to text her #it’s been over two years since the last time we talked… absolutely no reason to break that streak now. lord give me strength #she was really fucking mean to me! like objectively intentionally unwarrantedly cruel! it ruined an entire year of my life #and fundamentally changed me as a person on a deep level! there’s a lot of things i used to like about myself that i don’t think i’m ever #going to get back #and yet every once in a while we have to do the whole ‘maybe i could make things right’ song and dance 😔 #the thing is most of the time i’m not even really angry with her anymore like enough time has passed since all the shit went down that #really i just sort of look at her behavior and feel sad. both because of the impact on me but also because of the ‘that’s really how you #felt you needed to act towards someone who cared about you? you couldn’t have just expressed your feelings in an honest and productive way #instead of just lashing out in the cruelest possible way and ruining the entire relationship beyond hope of repair?’ #and i feel bad and sorry that it went that way and honestly i kind of pity her and hope she’s gotten some of her shit worked out #so i’m not like. actively pissed off at her anymore. but also i can’t think about her without thinking about the worst year of my life so 🙃 #i don’t actually feel that trying to reopen that door would be very healthy for me at least #we did try a Reconciliation of sorts a couple of months after the initial falling-out and while it was kind of helpful for me in that she #like. apologized lmao. and affirmed that i wasn’t crazy and she did in fact On Purpose say the most hurtful things she possibly could have #said to me given the information she had at her disposal. and that i really had not done anything to her that could warrant that. etc. #it also left a sour enough taste in my mouth that i just don’t see a future where the two of us spending time together is enjoyable for me #and yet… the regret will always live inside me i think. maybe if i were a stronger person… #caseyposting

The thing about having all your interests made fun of during your formative years is that even though it’s been a while since anyone actively did it, it’s still hard to be fully self indulgent even in your own mind because being cringe is bad and sometimes you so badly want to share things but it’s so easy for people to be mean about it. Anyway here’s permission from me personally to be as cringe and weird as you want to be, especially in your own head because it’s totally safe there and there is no god or mind readers who will give a shit about what’s going on in there.

#mostly telling this to myself #I need to be more cringe #my thoughts are allowed to be so self indulgent #these are my morning affirmations that I tell into the mirror #anyway I think Matt Murdock and Phoenix Wright would be besties and a daredevil ace attorney AU is fun to think about #I read one thing about Phoenix becoming blind after dahlias poisoning and now I hate that there isn’t more #I also had one rb on my Phoenix’s family hc poll about giving him catholic guilt and that’s just daredevil man #it’s not enough that because of the marvel capcom crossover that they could exist in the same universe #I am cringe but I am free I say as I hide all my thoughts in the tags

Commission for @sophronns​ 

[SLAMS HANDS ON TABLE] MAN I LOVE EXPRESSION CHALLENGES! 

Oooooh I got a lovely batch of commissions once again and I couldn’t be happier!~ Had to take a moment to catch my breath after responding to so many wonderful people and getting WIPs done for most of them, so that I may settle in for the long haul, flipping between commissions, my own projects and resting in attempt for a healthy work life balance! Thank you to all who signal boosted by reblogging, it means a lot to me yah’ll think price sheets worth passing around~ 😊💖 

#Commission #Expression challenge #Kennys commissions #others ocs #OKKennymay #Sophronns #Trying to get into the habit of posting more regularly #I gotta tell myself it doesn't have to be a whole pile of things everytime esp 'cause that drains the heck outta me and then I vanish again #Nor just because I post something does it mean people will be angry with me just because I was online but didn't respond to them yet #and if they do well clearly theyre not very nice #just remember how many have been so patient and welcoming- just happy to see me when i'm able to appear that's what I need to remember #So many affirming voices telling me it's okay to slow down and take it at my own pace brings me such peace to my worrisome mind #Kenny out here spilling his guts in the tags again for those who care to listen #Thank you for reading

surely this time im going to be better about my boundaries and not retraumatize myself when i start having tinder hookups again. 👍

#and other affirmations i tell myself in the mirror.

[girlwithfish]

feeling weird and off today. writing down some affirmations oddly helped me a little

#literally looking up affirmations for ppl who experienced abuse lmaoo #just have to keep telling myself im safe and im healing its not an instant process but every day im going toward that #its just harder today idk im getting a lot of uncomfortable feelings and memories that are like locked away bc im not trying to let myself #spiral into them cuz last time i did that it made me really anxious all night and i felt worse #so im just keeping them at bay and trying not to think abt it too much but that also doesnt make me feel great

[lostandoverwhelmed]

you are more than your ideas or talent or productiveness. you are more than how useful you are to others. you could do nothing and people would still want to know you. still want to love you. your value as a person doesn’t diminish because you feel you don’t have a purpose. you are allowed to exist. you are allowed to be simply alive. it is enough.

#things i tell myself #spilled thoughts #thoughts #writing #poetry #quoteoftheday #quotes #life quotes #words #poem #literature #affirmations #positive energy #positivity #you are valid #you are enough

[whimsyprinx]

actually I do deserve to be loved and cherished and happy and sought out and I’m just gonna try and keep saying that til I believe it and til it becomes true

#whimsy whispers #I’m worth peoples effort and I’m worth the bother I’m not a burden and I’m not tiring #I deserve for people to want me and to care about me #affirmations #but from myself this time!!! #I know this post isn’t going to make me suddenly believe this to be true but it’s a start #I deserve people who love me and who want me to be in their lives I deserve people who talk to me and actually enjoy my presence #I deserve people who understand how I feel and communicate with me and tell me how they feel #I deserve love and happiness and friendship >:| #one day I’m going to be happy and I’m going to be loved and I’m going to feel secure in peoples lives and I’m general #idk when that’ll be but I hope someday soon #you all deserve this as well

Today I remembered a friend I had in middle school who used to play a game where the only rule was if we saw each other, we yelled “You’re beautiful!!” before the other could say it first.

Idk where that friend is now but I hope she’s having a good day.

#yams thought #I just think that game was very good during a period of childhood where everything about self esteem and identity is so inhospitable #cos the crazy thing is that yes I think it did help me like myself more than I’ve ever really reflected on #and sure maybe this post feels corny or cliche but I think being 13 and making a game of positive affirmation is a very good thing actually #anyway victoria wherever you are I hope you’re still telling people they’re beautiful

ranking pact ships based on how controversial they are

5. Car Boys

Blake/Fell

Why It Sets Sail: They're both white men. They hate each other at first. They both like cars. Can I make it anymore obvious? If you don't get it then go reread the part in 4.8 where Blake "jerks" on his connection with Fell when he's being attacked by Pauz and Fell actually shows up to rescue Blake while bitching to him about how calling connections is both incredibly rude and intimate. Did I mention they're both white men?

Why It Sinks: Blake's trauma, Fell being a magical slave to Conquest, etc etc

4. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant

Sandra/Jeremy

Why It Sets Sail: Arranged Marriage, Abortion, Alcoholism, Epic Divorce.

Why It Sinks: Arranged Marriage, Abortion, Alcoholism, Epic Divorce.

3. Two-For-One

Alister/Rose/Blake

Why It Sets Sail: Because Alister got ripped off big time in canon by getting one half of a spouse for full price. Also for how fucking funny it was when he had to mediate an argument between Blake and Rose while poor Crone Mara's forest was burning down.

Why It Sinks: Because I don't see how it could possibly work once it stops being funny. Also like Alister is a child bride or whatever.

2. Puppy Love (sorry)

Johannes/Faysal

Why It Sets Sail: Because Faysal has a human form. Because Johannes is a sexy wizard. Because Tumblr loves a gay angel. Because there is no bond more intimate than that of a familiar and their practitioner. @ishdaj also just pointed out in the tags on another post that this becomes an Angel x Devil ship when the Barber possesses Johannes which is even spicier than normal Johannes/Faysal!

Why It Sinks: Something about betrayal and fucky familiar/practitioner power dynamics. And because people would draw dog ears on Faysal or worse and I'm not strong enough to deal with that.

1. RIP Rusty

Blake/Rose

Why It Sets Sail: T4T self-love and recognition. Shared mourning over the person you once were. And also seeing the things you hate most in yourself reflected back at you.

Why It Sinks: Clone fucking and selfcest are a discourse minefield. And because there's no way it doesn't end with one of them (Rose) cannibalizing the other. But idk if you're a real freak then I guess the self-cannibalization is a selling point!

#pact #pact spoilers #pact web serial #sorry to all the femslash ships I am a femslash warrior but i will have to save those for another post. and that's what worm is for anyway #i WILL NOT DRAW IRONIC YAOIBAIT FAYSALHANNES I WILL NOT DRAW IT #<- affirmations i tell myself when i'm drinking at home on a saturday night

trying not to anxietypost rn

#hashtag when the positive affirmations do not stop the body-wracking sobs #these are the worst bc they last hours and leave me kinda mentally paralyzed #just spiralling and beating myself up and not being able to stop thinking about my fuckups #and then beating myself up again for not getting up and at least getting other work donr #*done #trying to balance validating my feelings with rational actions #but i was already having a bad week and then a bad morning and now a worse afternoon #and so this attack wasn’t a sudden one it was weeks in the making and i just. i knew. and i couldn’t stop it #and then it’s like bc of the anxiety disorder i can’t gauge how accepting ppl will be when i tell them i fucked up #and i just can’t seem to completely stop crying so i literally can’t move on with my day #and i’m trying to balance between letting myself work through the stress with not indulging in the untrue negative ones #rambling

‘the last leg of the mcr tour’ :( why does seeing the word last written down make my stomach sink

hey it could be worse he could've just said "the last mcr tour" instead 😩

#telling myself this #2022 i so thoroughly convinced myself they'd tour again in at least a couple years' time that now im like. hm i shld rly unassume that huh. #sjdjjdje :| #but in that case let's all just really appreciate the tour for what it is!!! #no use in ruining something great bc you're mourning it before it's even over #(<- daily affirmations but like for real :(
