loving yourself...
... doesn't just mean accepting yourself as you are.
it's more about accepting and loving who you are right now, while also caring about yourself enough to see if you can make things better for yourself.
self love is a journey, not a destination. keep going and keep loving yourself ✨

Separating Work From Yourself ☀️🤎
Someone asked me recently about separating work from your personal life. Balancing work and life can be a challenge, but it's important for maintaining your overall well-being. So I thought I'd share some of the tips I gave them to help you find balance:
1. Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal time. This may involve setting specific work hours, avoiding work-related activities during personal time, or setting limits on how much you take work home with you.
2. Prioritize self-care: Make time for activities that recharge and refresh you, such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones. Remember that taking care of yourself is essential for your overall health and well-being.
3. Practice time management: Use time management techniques to help you stay organized and make the most of your time. This may involve creating to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, or using productivity tools like timers or apps.
4. Be flexible: Recognize that life is unpredictable and sometimes your plans may need to change. Be open to adjusting your schedule or priorities as needed, and don't be too hard on yourself if things don't go as planned.
5. Learn to say no: It's okay to say no to work commitments or social invitations if you feel overwhelmed or need to prioritize other aspects of your life. Be assertive in communicating your needs and boundaries.
Remember, finding balance is a personal journey and may require some trial and error. Be patient with yourself, practice self-compassion, and keep experimenting with different strategies until you find what works best for you.

“I tried so hard to not fall behind and to not be mistreated as if my life depended on it. But looking back, the one who’s been mistreating me the most was myself.”

Sometimes I'm too vulnerable and sometimes I hold a very strong opinion about anything. No one can get confused more than me by the traits I possess in myself.

Icarus may have laughed as he fell. In some versions of the story Icarus was just a young boy, kept in the dark for too long and so enamoured by the world around him that ended up being his doom. In others he was bold and confident and curious, instructions for what not to do were more like a guideline for what he now must try, but the instructions were there for a reason. Yet still in another version of the story Icarus was finally free and no chains, even well meaning ones, would ever keep him down again. He couldn't have been much older than 17, he suffered incredible hardship, he got so far only to fall in the end. We all relate to Icarus in the end. We've gone through so much, lasted so long, and we just have to decide whether after all that, we too will let ourselves fall.

i think of you before i fall asleep; the words you said, the jokes you've made, all of the silent moments we've ever shared.
there is not a moment that goes by that you do not fill my mind with your tenderness,
i have never been so enamoured by somebody other than you.

You can't really claim the level of self liberation you desire while being attached to managing other people's perceptions of you. The hardest part of the journey of self liberation is to liberate others...and to allow them to perceive you in the ways they choose to, even when it doesn't reflect accurately who you know yourself to be.

Freeing the Imagination
"So much of the work of oppression is policing the imagination." —Saidiya Hartman
I came across this quote recently and it speaks to the heart of the meaning in this piece. Freeing the imagination and the mind is a crucial part of self-liberation, be it healing from oppressive systems like racism and patriarchy, or in terms of growing a living practice like witchcraft/magick.
Tumblr media
Since childhood, I had so many pieces of the terrible truth that was happening to and around me. But the doubts planted from my abusers, their organization, and those who supported them—including society and its predilection for so-called rationality weaponized in irrational ways, for turning a blind eye to those uncomfortable things that people don't want to confront, for sensationalizing the very real abuse that happens on a daily basis—undermined my truth. I was lost for a long time. It has taken actively decolonizing, deprogramming, deconditioning my mind while resisting and struggling against the intentional suppression of such from abusers and the world around me to start putting more of the pieces together. It has taken demanding answers even from supporters who said I was being too demanding. It has been holding myself together as much as I can while others around me acted like I could not grasp simple reality because of the symptomatic results of abuse.
Imagination has been crucial in this. It is not just fanciful escape, as it has sometimes been minimized and dismissed, or even celebrated, as. It is what allows us to think outside of the systems of oppression we have all been raised in. To consider the reality that those who do not want us to see want to erase. To consider possibilities that don't even exist in our reality yet. My personal journey towards truth in my life is only one example.
