I Love Video Game Character Design

i really want to reapproach the way i see success.

i think ive slowly been doing it for a few years now, but theres definitely more i can do.

i always think of it in the grand life goal kind of way.

but it doesnt need to be that..

and for me, i really wanna see if i can find things in my day-to-day life that are, a success.

did i put myself out of my comfort zone that day trying something new?

did i take a deep breath and calm my thoughts before getting frustrated at somebody?

did i show care to myself even when i felt unworthy of life?

did i do anything where if i was reading a book about me. would i be proud of the bee on that page?

because the answer is probably yes most days. but im not treating myself as if thats the case.

im so harsh to myself and i know this. i give grace to others where i would never for myself.

i just want to treat myself gently.

so cheers to small successes, the steps forward even when theres also steps backward..

and to not just treating others the way we want to be treated, but treating ourselves that way too.

It really sucks that structural ableism makes it hard for disabled people to connect in person because let me tell you some of the best advice I’ve ever heard in my life is from disabled people.

It’s nice talking to someone who doesn’t want to fix you just wants to listen and commiserate because yeah things are shitty and it’s not fair

notalgia is so strange because what do u mean i long for things that remind me of the worst times of my life?

i really cannot understand how people see disabled life as this glamorised lazy life. i genuinely cannot wrap my head around this.

how could ANY of what i go through be seen that way i just dont get it.

its okay to mourn.

its okay to mourn the childhood you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the career you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the children you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the education you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the friendships and social life you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the hobbies you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the travel you could’ve had.

its okay to mourn the life you could’ve had.

nobody gets to tell you that you need to cheer up.

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE I WAS A KID 😭

im on day 39 of a migraine, hospital have given up on me, makes it hard to not give up on myself.

physically disabled people who are also fat deserve mobility aids just as much as physically disabled people who are skinny.

we also deserve to have mobility aids that fit us, we shouldn’t have to settle for ones that don’t meet our needs. whether it’s having a high enough weight limit or being wide enough or being sturdy enough, we deserve that.

it doesn’t even matter whether a person is fat because of their disability/ies or if they’re disabled because they’re fat. that person still deserve good mobility aids that meet their needs.

[this is a post about fatness and physical disability, derail and i will steal your mail for three months and two days]

Disabled and chronically ill people are allowed to enjoy things and do things they like (if they’re able) while still being sick and disabled. Yes, even if they aren’t employed. Hope this helps.
