maybe a dumb realization but sometimes say it’s okay to feel kinda shitty for no reason, it feels better than trying to like fix it with exercise or food or entertainment like you're your own helicopter parent.

Some days feel so painful from all the stress, and yes I know it’s supposed to build character or what not. Honestly whoever said that never worked at a creative.
Recently thought I’ve just been reminding myself “it’s okay… I’m getting by.” Seems odd to say out loud, but hurts less then keeping the thought in the body/mind!

it may be cringe. it may have been said before. but sometimes, after we are continuously exposed to the same phrases we start hearing them as background noise, hearing them without actually fully listening to them and applying them to our lives. your reality is literally whatever you choose to make it!!! and you are the only one who is truly in control of that and can truly shape that. i absolutely hate the tumblr romanticizaction of sadness and the notion that “positive/happy people are stupid or ignorant” and that “negative people are broody and intelligent because they see the world for what it truly is”🥀. it is so damaging to think that way, on the first-hand, to yourself, and it is soooo easy to fall into a mindset where you victimize yourself. on the other hand, it is so difficult to be in a negative circumstance or surrounded by negative things and purposely choose not to wallow in your misery and to instead take control of your life and concentrate on the positive parts of it instead. YOU are the one who has to live in your own brain at the end of the day- why would you want to make it an uninhabitable environment? you’re basically the architect of a new house in creative mode on minecraft and you’re choosing to build a dirt block house instead of a mansion. (ofc this is a generalized statement and it is so valid to be sad and be going through it when you’re going through adverse circumstances. i don’t want to advocate for toxic positivity and i think it’s so important to recognize and feel your emotions, good or bad! Denying/avoiding your emotions is also extremely damaging. also acknowledging that this can come easier or harder to different people in different circumstances.but regardless, at the end of the day, you are in charge of how you respond to your circumstances!) it is so easier said than done, especially if you’re in a rough patch of your life or have built a habit of romanticizing your sadness. this is something I have to remind myself of all the time too- tldr: negativity should be acknowledged and experienced, and not a basis for identity.
