Just a reminder that people who have eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, vitiligo, acne, dermatitis, or any other skin condition are wonderful! In a lot of societies, skin conditions like these are often stigmatized, and I understand that that’s really hard to deal with. But other people’s insensitivity doesn’t reflect on you, it just shows that they’re rude and need to work on their empathy skills. So please remember that you’re not gross or unattractive because of your skin, no matter what people say. You are lovely and gorgeous inside and out. ❤

Your friend,

Arien ☀️

friendly reminder that you didn’t waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort, any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of. 

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

CHRIS EVANS as Steve Rogers/Captain America in The Avengers (2012) dir. Joss Whedon

When you start to respect yourself, you also start to recognize who doesn’t. Friendships watering down, clashing with people you used to get along with, discovering some relationships/dynamics aren’t for you— it’s all part of growing as a person and realizing what is and isn’t what you want or need. It doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you or that you’re doing the wrong thing: new habits, new boundaries and a newfound self-respect often require reevaluation.

Wow

Very much surprised that I am logged into my Tumblr. Found so many drafts unpublished since 2010/2011 and decided to just publish them today. They're the few posts you see after this, before Chris Evans'. I tried reconnecting with SuperTan (an old friend who I actually cherished so much) but nope, failed miserably. Kinda expected it tbh but oh wells. Sometimes people move forward in life, without you. Just take it as part of your stride and move on.

You should tell me in my face.

"i just wanted that conversation , i just wanted to say a couple of words ." "wanted you to know i waited the whole night .." "i just need your time, your time. And hoping for just that little bit of change between friends ." "nothing's gonna happen , twit ." :'( i wish you could understand. I wanted to talk to you too. But from here, it seems to me that you're still mad at me, you still haven't forgive me. I don't know. I'm sorry.
