BEASTMODE - MONSTA X

I don’t give a what huh What they gotta say It's rough outside and it's too dangerous eh I know the world is testing us anyway 

MONSTA X 몬스타엑스 'GAMBLER' Teaser #2

You know I love how so many people are like “respect boundaries respect consent” until it’s time to respect people w OCD who can’t shake hands or be touched or when an autistic person tells their family member they can’t give hugs or when a chronically ill person tells you “no I can’t do this thing” and you think “maybe if I just make them do it anyway it’ll make them stronger” or when a mentally ill person or someone who has been abused is like “I don’t want to be around this person/thing it’s triggering” and you get people guilting them to “just get over it”

If you’re about consent and boundaries, good, you should be, but remember to keep that energy when moms of autistic kids are like “I still hug my child even tho it makes them have panic attacks” or when someone’s like “yeah they said they don’t want to be around this person cause it’s “triggering” but I’m their friend so they should do it for me” or when a disabled person says they can’t go up the stairs and you’re begging them to “try anyway”

Don’t lose that mindset, or that energy when it’s time to respect the boundaries or consent of mentally ill and disabled people.

cute lil study tip

i think your main goal for making a study plan, or any kind of productivity plan really, should be “how much can i do to be proud of myself”. that’s all. don’t stop until you’re proud of yourself.

i practiced math for only about an hour today. i was in a shit mood. that was all i could do today. i could do math for 3-4 hours on my better days, but today wasn’t one of them, and that’s okay. but i am proud that i did an hour of math, despite feeling really fucking down. i didn’t abandon my studies, i still made that tiny bit of progress that i’m sure is gonna pay off later. 

you don’t need an 8-hour study plan, you need a plan that is considerate and in touch with your mental state and the capability of it at this moment. i may need to push and try not to give up until i feel content with the day’s progress, cause i definitely don’t wanna feel like a total failure when i’m trying to sleep at night. 

I think there’s really power in embracing the magic of being you. All the infinitesimal moments that went into helping little you being born as you are onto this earth. You could have ended up so many different variations of yourself and yet here you are, the perfect combination of everything doubting yourself? Why? You’re beautiful, everything about you is right and true. Don’t doubt who you are or think negatively about yourself, you’re just right as you are. 

SO much went into make you, you. Believe in that and yourself, you’re perfect the way you are, my love. You’re perfect.

things i wish i’d been told sometimes

𓂃 your life revolves around you and it always has. if you feel the need to stop and catch your breath, do it. time moves forward, but your life will never be able to continue without you. 

𓂃 the way people talk to you about others is a direct reflection of how they talk to others about you. remember that. 

𓂃 life is too short to stay quiet. your voice carries you as much as you carry your voice. 

𓂃 nobody pays as much attention to you as you think they do. 

𓂃 nobody’s expecting you to do something useful every day. you shouldn’t expect that from yourself either. 

𓂃 nothing that matters to you is useless. if it’s important to you then it’s important, period.

𓂃 don’t live every day like it’s your last–rather like it’s your first. get to know your space, get comfortable where you aren’t yet, try new things but not everything at once. and look forward to things that are coming. 

𓂃 you’re only responsible for what you can control and influence. focus on that. 

𓂃 stop trying to be okay all the time. you do not have to be okay all the time.

𓂃 it’s more common to have a soft and protecting tummy than to have flat abs. both is healthy, both is pretty. 

𓂃 your teens are not your only chance on having a good, fulfilled, and social life. if you can’t find your place in high school you will in another environment. this isn’t where it ends. 

𓂃 you have the right to change your mind over and over and over again until you’re happy.
