Your Purpose In Life Is Not To Love Yourself But To Love Being Yourself.

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

The Fic Snare

So I got a very sweet ask from someone who liked More Things and isn’t in hockey fandom but asked for recs. I haven’t answered them yet because my energy has been limited of late but I do want to get to them. So I thought I could “poll the audience”. And lol, I wanna hook them well but good.

So. If you had to choose ONE fic to rec a friend in order to yank them down in this rabbit hole after you, which would it be???

Also, which fic hooked you? I want to hear stories 😄

Hey, I’d kill a man for some of my discontinued Koop’s Deli-Style Mustard, so in my stocking instead would have been ideal

Clearance mustard

My sister and I were browsing the discounted Christmas candy at Wal-Mart. Somehow, a display of powdered mustard had gotten mixed in with all the candy, under a sign that read “stocking stuffers.”

My sister: Mustard is a terrible stocking stuffer. Who wants a condiment in their stocking?

Me: Well…I follow this guy on Tumblr named @copperbadge and he’s the only person I can think of who would appreciate mustard in his stocking.

My sister: Huh. Well, let him know it’s on clearance, I guess.
