Much like Welcome to Nightvale, I feel like a lot of people have forgotten just how big and influential Yuri on Ice was. It fully broke into the mainstream. It was everywhere. Evgenia Medvedeva, the top female figure skater in 2016 and 2017, had YOI plushies thrown to her on the ice and wore a Victuuri tshirt to an interview. Japanese pair skaters Miu Suzaki and Ryuichi Kihara skated to the YOI theme at the fucking Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics. The Olympics. Canadian ice dancer Joseph Johnson did the ‘J.J. Style’ hand symbol in the kiss and cry. Johnny Weir made me cry by talking about how he wished the homophobic world of figure skating he experienced could have been more like the kinder world of Yuri on Ice.

There were cameos and references to it everywhere. Everyone was talking about it. People who had never watched anime were watching it. It was so big it crashed Crunchyroll and Tumblr. Twice. And all that for what was at its core, a queer love story that helped pave the way for more queer stories to come.

#yuri on ice #yoi #i got a little fired up at the implication that voltron was somehow #more iconic than yoi #objectively untrue statement #anyway yoi healed my queer heart and helped me find the courage to come out to my family

Just because others don’t agree with the way you choose to do things doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. 💭

I hope you have the courage to...

"I hope you have the courage to keep loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so. In a generation that orders up attention like they order up a meal, in a generation that has started to love with one foot out the door, I hope you have the courage to believe that genuine connection still exists. And I hope you have the courage to stand up for that, to open yourself to it when you start to feel it bloom within the heart of you. I hope you have the courage to appreciate it for all that it is, to not approach it wearing a mask, to not try to desensitize yourself to it or to play it cool. Please, I hope you have the courage to crash your heart into the people life gifts you. I hope you have the courage to believe that goodness still exists, that there are those who have the capacity to love the way you do, and that there are those who will see you, will grow you, and teach you more about the world. I hope you have the courage to fight for connection. I hope you have the courage to go deeper. To never exist on the surface of your life, even if it’s easier or more convenient. At the end of the day, you should leave this world with a heart that is worn-out and soft all over. A heart that is bruised from loving, and feeling, and caring in the best way possible. At the end of the day, you should be proud of your inability to be anything but open to the world. You should be proud of who you are.

I hope you have the courage to do the hard work. I hope you have the courage to sit down with your demons, to befriend them; to look them in the face and to not feel fear. I hope you have the courage to stop picking or numbing or avoiding the wounds within, and I hope you choose to heal them instead. I hope you have the courage to understand yourself, fundamentally—to open up the deepest, darkest parts of your mind, to unhinge your rib cage revealing the gritty parts of your soul, the parts no one else claps for, and I hope you have the courage to clean them out. To forgive yourself for what you had to do to kill your sadness. To forgive yourself for the ways in which you didn’t fight for the person you were becoming. I hope you have the courage to nurture your pain, to not disregard it or sweep it under the rug of distraction or convenience. I hope you have the courage to heal yourself, even when it hurts.

I hope you have the courage to know when to end things. And I hope you have the courage to see endings as beautiful, transformative stepping stones. I hope you have the courage to let love and opportunity move through you like rain. To not grip, or seek to change it, to not ask people or circumstances to be more than they can be for you. I hope you have the courage to see endings as the cornerstones of the chapters that changed you without needing them to be a part of the rest of your story. And when that is done, I hope you have the courage to give yourself closure. To be your own home. To be your own safe place. I hope you have the courage to not let the losses destroy you, to not let them burrow into the heart of who you are and convince you that you failed, or that you are unworthy of the happiness you are standing up for in your life. I hope you have the courage to see the way in which you loved and tried and fought for something as a testament to just how deeply your capacity to feel is, just how beautiful moments can be when you appreciate them for what they were instead of nullifying them or letting them harden you to the world. Please, I hope you have the courage to move forward. I hope you have the courage to walk away with grace.

I hope you have the courage to do things differently, to be the kind of person who takes the risk, to be the kind of person who leads with their heart and shows up in their life with a ruthless dedication to learning and growing and enjoying the hell out of their moments here. I hope you have the courage to never let comfort or apprehension convince you that you are better off staying still. I hope you have the courage to trust the part of yourself that knows there’s more out there for you, the part of yourself that is easy to quiet when you’re trying to live by the rules and the expectations of a world that has bred so much dissatisfaction and sadness. I hope you have the courage to trust the part of yourself that seeks freedom from those trends, from those boundaries, and I hope you have the courage to go after whatever it is that genuinely makes you want to get up in the morning. I hope you have the courage to find the things in life that ignite you and deepen your understanding of the world and those within it. I hope you have the courage to fight for a future that inspires you, even if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would. I hope you have the courage to change. I hope you have the courage to trust in the person you’re becoming."

I have dared

To let go of the hide

From the safety of my bubble

To out there, unleashed in the wild

I have dared

To step outside .

maturing is realizing therapy can only take you so far & that in order to really heal you need to participate in the world and let yourself love & be loved again. sorry.

#i was sad the other day about being borderline friendless for four years until i remembered that #i needed that time to heal & self reflect & grow & learn to value myself by myself #but remembering that i haven’t always been friendless is giving me the courage to actually try to make friends again :)

COURAGE ABOVE FEAR • Overcoming

The act of putting courage above fear can manifest in various aspects of life, from everyday decisions to extraordinary circumstances. It could be as simple as speaking in a public setting, trying a new activity, or as monumentous as standing up for one’s beliefs in the face of adversity. When people prioritize courage, they are essentially deciding to not let fear control their lives or dictate their actions., which can lead to a more fulfilling and authentic existence. Putting courage over fear is an empowering principle that involves acknowledging fear yet choosing to act despite it. The concept is not about the absence of fear, but rather the ability to overcome it through mental fortitude, strength and resolve. Courage is not a static trait, but a muscle that can be strengthened over time with practice and experience. The cycle of facing fears and taking action builds resilience, confidence and self esteem, contributing to personal growth and the ability to handle future, perhaps more daunting, challenges. Courage can be seen as a balanced approach to fear- one that assesses but does not surrender to it. It involves thoughtful consideration of the situation, understanding possible challenges, then making a reflective decision. Be careful not to recklessly disregard all risks. This transformative approach can lead to achieving a profound sense of accomplishment and empowerment. It is a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to transcend limitations and peruse a life of meaning and purpose. Courage involves recognizing your fears and choosing to move through it regardless of the discomfort. It’s the determination to act in alignment with your values and your goals, even when faced with danger and uncertainty. It is a critical quality that enables one to face challenges, overcome obstacles, and grow beyond perceived limitations. It is the quality that supports standing up for what is right, attempting new endeavors, and persisting in the face of adversity.

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a choice.” -Winston S. Churchill

Quote

If the idea of loving those whom you have been taught to recognize as your enemies is too overwhelming, consider more deeply the observation that we are all much more alike than we are unalike.
