#ThickTrunkTuesday 🌳
To save the world’s forests we must first recognize that trees are wonderful beings with innate adaptability, intelligence, & the capacity to communicate with & heal other trees 🌳

@street_trashed Have you tried listening to brown noise when going to sleep. I find the noise blocks everything out and stops unwanted thoughts creeping in that keep you awake.
I like doing it best with headphones on as it feels so immersive, but you can listen without.
A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

Northern White Rhino: functionally extinct in the wild.
Last male dead. Only 2 females remain
A creature that endured 55 million years—ice ages, asteroids, entire epochs—wiped out by human greed, poaching, and destroyed habitats.
We failed them. 💔🦏
@recovery_your I recently was rediagnosed with CPTSD (previously diagnosed with BPD). I thought the flashbacks (didn't know they were flashbacks) was part of everyday life. I thought everyone got them, but some where better at hiding it or coped better.
