I feel like I’ve always associate being realistic with not fantasizing about stuff but I need the reminder it should apply to being hard on yourself too!! No matter how many mistakes I make (and there’s a lot of them), it’ll literally never warrant the vitriol I’m so comfortable doling out to myself!

I feel like when things go wrong in our lives it’s easy to blame the world for our issues and very few times do we take the time to reflect on ourselves and check if we are the ones making mistakes. Having flaws is natural but one must take responsibility for their action. Do a little self check and improve yourself constantly! (Be careful not to blame yourself for everything though)

Something that helps me a lot is reminding myself that we all tend to evaluate our own actions under a microscopic lens, observing problems that others would never pick up on because they’re not looking at us that closely. We tend to be much more critical of our own actions than those of others. And everyone does it! So reminding myself of this fact helps prevent me from spiraling.
ALSO: It can be very helpful to bring up a concern about something you did or said to a friend who was present at the time. 9/10 times they will tell you they hardly noticed it (if at all) and that it did not come off the way you feared. True friends will always accept you as you are and, as much as your anxiety brain would have you think otherwise, do not secretly hate you or think you’re lame!

it’s ok to fuck stuff up, you’re human (a reminder for myself)

I’m too dear with lovely things. I keep the brooch my 2nd grade teacher gave me in a box, safe, and because of this I’ve never worn something I really like! I recently decided I needed to wear my brooch with the sweater I finished knitting this weekend. It made it feel even more special. :)

I would love to feed this little guy a bottle-cap filled with peanut butter and let him rest in a sweater pile

A friend put me onto this song awhile ago and it’s now constantly in my head.
