I wish someone had told me all these things when I was a confused, hurting teenager, so I am sharing them now. I hope they help someone the way they could have helped me.
Life is shit. Running can help. So can weed. And a shower. And washing your face, taking your meds, sleeping a little longer, waking up earlier- basically any coping skill that is useful and works for you, please make sure you try to do it today. When life is pressing down on you -in those moments when its the most difficult to use a coping skill- just do it. Cry your way through your run or shower or taking meds or face wash or to sleep or yoga or scream your way through it. Whatever you gotta do to get started. Afterwards, you will feel better. Maybe not perfect (likely not on top of the world) but better. You know it, I know it, so do it. That’s my challenge. Do one single thing today that you know will make you feel less shit, even if getting yourself to do it is the hardest thing. When you’re done, take a deep breath and thank yourself for taking care of you. Gratitude is important and we are so often not showing gratitude to ourselves for the hard shit we do.
Yes!! If that doesn’t sound appealing just make your bed when you wake up and that’s ONE task you’ve already done, ONE thing you’ve accomplished and make sure you acknowledge your accomplishment.. you’re worth acknowledgment
Anyways, y’all better start saving your fave fanfics and fanart under the Disney labels cause it looks like they’re trying to curb fair use/fanworks and I’m sure there’s going to be mass panicked deletions even though it’s probably unnecessary cause AO3′s legal team will fight for us.
You know that 400K yall were so fucking mad about OTW raising?
Yeah, its gonna pay for the travel expenses and court costs that the legal team at AO3/OTW when they protect your shit from getting C&Ded.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR STUFF! IF YOU GET CONTACTED BY DISNEY - GO TO THE ORGANIZATION OF TRANSFORMATIVE WORKS , CONTACT THEIR LEGAL ADVOCACY DEPARTMENT! ASK FOR HELP!!
The official lockdown started March 23 and will likely end May 1st. That is EXACTLY 40 days.
The Latin root of the word “quarantine” is “forty”.
So what does the Bible say about 40?
The flood lasted 40 days.
40 years Moses fled Egypt.
40 days Moses stayed on Mount Sinai to receive the Commandments.
Exodus lasted 40 years.
Jesus fasted for 40 days.
40 days for a woman to rest after giving birth.
Optimum number of weeks for human gestation is 40.
A group of theologians thinks the number 40 represents “change”. It is the time of preparing a person, or people, to make a fundamental change.
Something will happen after these 40 days. Just believe and pray. Remember, whenever the number 40 appears in the Bible, there is a "change”.
Please know that during this “quarantine” rivers are cleaning up, vegetation is growing, the air is becoming cleaner because of less pollution, there is less theft and murder, healing is happening, and most importantly, people are turning to Christ. The Earth is at rest for the first time in many years and hearts are truly transforming.
Remember we are in the year 2020, and 20 + 20 = 40.
Also, 2020 is the year of the United States Census. Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, was born during a census.
Lastly, 2020 is perfect vision. May our sight focus on the Lord and living according to His perfect vision for us knowing He holds us in the palm of His hand.
May these days of “quarantine” bring spiritual liberation to our souls, our nation, and our world.
