it's extremely important to realize that you were beautiful before someone noticed and you'll remain beautiful in their absence. your beauty is not dependent on who values you for it.

My spouse saying to the four year old about his brother, "He is telling you about it because he's excited, not because he thinks you don't know." And that, my friends, is also a lesson I need to hear.

I keep on revisiting this. You might not realize the depth of what he said. In urdu poetry, there is a concept where poets view God as a lonely being, so lonely that He created free willed humans for company. Loneliness is a Godly trait & whoever enters its realm meets God there

We need to bring back intellectual elitism. Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a ChatGPT Plus subscription.

Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember anti-intellectualism is on the rise, literacy is in decline, and I don’t want to be a VICTIM!

might delete idk but

it's the "everyone wants to save the world but no one wants to help mom do the dishes" thing to me. they want to be hero of the day saving women in dark streets but never tackle the everyday things/ppl (incl themselves) contributing to rape culture

bell hooks said:

“To love well, women must unlearn the belief that suffering is proof of devotion.”

and i ain’t ever been the same since…

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

Do not let people gaslight you into thinking that duality does not exist. You can be grateful and annoyed. You can want more and be grateful for what you have. You can be angry and frustrated and still be grateful. A lot of religious and spiritual gaslighting out here.

bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.

but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.

we're half into the year already. here's a reminder that you still linger even though you don't intend to do so.

Anyway, as a person who has battled severe, debilitating depression and suicidal ideation since I was 14, who has tried to “mind over matter”, been so medicated I slept for 18 hours/day, “treated it” with walks, yoga, forcing myself to do things and routines…

[Nina vs. the World @ninamonei]

I still experience months-long depressive episodes where I quite literally cannot find in my brain motivation to do things and am deeply, profoundly so sad that it hurts, bc that’s how illness works. Sending love to everybody battling the same being told you’re “just not trying.”

One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.
