afternoon light and books, my 2 great loves
unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite

• - - Just a Reminder - - •
In case you need it:
- You’re the only one who knows what you’re going through
- Your pain is “enough.” Your illness is “enough.” You shouldn’t have to prove that to be taken seriously
- It’s okay to not be productive. You are not less of a person for struggling/being unable to work, or go to school, or maintain friendships
- You are just as deserving of love as any healthy, Neurotypical or able bodied person
- Your needs and accommodations are not a burden or an annoyance, and anyone who actually cares would do what it takes to make sure they get met
- It isn’t your fault if others treat you poorly for things you can’t control, that says more about them than you
- You are just as deserving of a good life as anyone else
- You deserve love, and even if it doesn’t feel like it, there are people out there who don’t mind and won’t see it as an obstacle
- Just because you go through something regularly doesn’t mean it’s any less upsetting/traumatic/scary
- Your life is not worth less, you are still a person, and you are still alive
- Even if you haven’t done anything today just being here at all is an achievement. No matter what you’re going through, I’m happy you’ve made it this far, because I can’t imagine what you’ve had to go through to get here
