Acceptance - Tumblr Posts

"Forgiveness is a long process. Sometimes, it is hard to forget the things or people you do not really want to forget. I guess forgiveness starts when you learn to accept the fact that someone could hurt you in so many ways you cannot even imagine and still want the best for them. That's how you START to forgive someone."

— Syebelita

I already accepted the fact that not all people will like me and that's okay because I value my inner peace more than their viewpoint, standards, and expectations on me.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but they were never going to change. You did the right thing.

it gets tiring seeing the positive in life or in every situation. sometimes shit just ain’t going good at all

This is why I absolutely LOVE Tumblr

You are your mother’s daughter.

They say there are five stages of grief. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. We’ll I’d like to add one more… Revenge. Cruella (2021)

THE TRUTH OF THE HUMAN BEING

I feel for this person so much. I once accidentally deleted over three hundred open tabs which consisted of my favourite fanfics, mangas, comics, shows, etc. and believe me when I say that that made me want to absolutely kill myself.

The sheer amount of work and time put into those tabs was enough to make me cry and question my existence in this cruel world.

You should definitely meet your heroes.

The disappointment and heartbreak will temper your worldview, opening your eyes to the stunning fragility and moral fickleness of your species. And once you witness the reality shifting, you'll be more at ease. You'll start accepting faults and stop judging imperfections, you'll learn of their inevitability... how they're essential to the building of your heroes.

And someday, you'll build up enough courage to meet yourself.

It’s going okay

Objectively I have a great life: I am comfortable, loved, and have a job I enjoy. I am getting married. I am looking forward to the future.

Honestly all that is wonderful but it becomes part of a horrible spiral in my mind sometimes. I am not well. The anxious voices in my mind are debilitating at times. It’s better than it was, but it’s still there. And remembering how lucky I am should help but sometimes it just becomes guilt.

I am learning to accept that. I am feeling awful, and it is okay for me to feel awful, or is okay for me to lie down and cry even if there is nothing objectively wrong. My head is just a bad place to be at times.

It’s scarier to screw up something you’ve done a million times before than to screw up something new. Maybe that’s why I’ve been doing better lately. When stuff gets screwed up, it’s because I’m a baby adult who barely knows what to do. Because there’s still people saying “let me help you with that.” You’re new. Let me help carry the load. It makes some things easier. It makes standing on my own a little harder because I have trouble saying no.

I’m doing okay. I cried for half an hour tonight because I felt like my head was going to split open if I didn’t. I’m not even anxious about stuff, I’m just anxious.

I’m doing okay. I’ve got reassurance and safety and security. I’ve got someone to hold me when I cry.

Maybe some day I will be better. Maybe someday I won’t walk on eggshells in my own mind, won’t be scared of the little space between my ears where things get twisted til they’re unrecognizable.

Til then I’m doing okay. And that’s okay.

What do you chose today to live with and to put into the world?

boys will be boys

if a boy wants to wear a dress, that doesn't always mean he's trans. if a boy acts a little softer than the other boys on the sports team, that doesn't always mean he's gay. boys can wear pink. boys can wear makeup. boys can wear dresses. boys can make flower crowns for each other and talk about "girly" things. just because they don't follow the rules of what society thinks the male gender should be like doesn't make them any less masculine. boys will be boys.
