"I’ve found that it’s of some help to think of one’s moods and feelings about the world as being..."

Fri, 24 May 2013 18:24:42 -0700

“

I’ve found that it’s of some help to think of one’s moods and feelings about the world as being similar to weather:

Here are some obvious things about the weather:

It’s real.
You can’t change it by wishing it away.
If it’s dark and rainy it really is dark and rainy and you can’t alter it.
It might be dark and rainy for two weeks in a row.

BUT

It will be sunny one day.
It isn’t under one’s control as to when the sun comes out, but come out it will.
One day.

It really is the same with one’s moods, I think. The wrong approach is to believe that they are illusions. They are real. Depression, anxiety, listlessness – these are as real as the weather – AND EQUALLY NOT UNDER ONE’S CONTROL. Not one’s fault.

BUT

They will pass: they really will.

In the same way that one has to accept the weather, so one has to accept how one feels about life sometimes. “Today’s a crap day,” is a perfectly realistic approach. It’s all about finding a kind of mental umbrella. “Hey-ho, it’s raining inside: it isn’t my fault and there’s nothing I can do about it, but sit it out. But the sun may well come out tomorrow and when it does, I shall take full advantage.

”

- Stephen Fry (via internal-acceptance-movement)

"The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same...."

Tue, 21 May 2013 17:17:09 -0700

“The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same. You erase their experiences and perspective, their struggles and obstacles, their unique way of having to deal with those things in a world that also erases them. With the words, ‘but humans are humans’ or the bullshit dramatics of ‘we all bleed red’ normal people can simply pretend that if we all did things the way they did, then everything would work out okay. But, yes, we all bleed red but you don’t treat a papercut the same way you treat a gash, you don’t treat an infected wound the same way you treat one that isn’t, you don’t treat a wound to the leg the same way you treat a wound to the gut. You are not acknowledging someone’s personhood when you ignore the very things that make their lives different than yours, and when you refuse to understand that their circumstances have given them their own perspective that is just as valid as yours. More valid in fact – their perspective about their experiences that you haven’t been through is far more valid than anything you could ever think about it.”

Truth bomb if I ever saw one.

More randomness in the life of the author...

Sun, 12 May 2013 16:42:14 -0700

I’m a bit of a tomboy. This should surprise very few of you, I didn’t unless I don’t know you in meatspace. I was into painting my nails for a bit, but that was mostly as a way to get me to stop biting them. (It worked)

I’m still not overly femme. Stating this, I occasionally get the strong urge to fuss with my hair. It was usually just the urge to cut it all off, since for the longest time I had shoulder length hair or longer.

Now I have a pixie cut, and I really don’t want to go any shorter, so the urge to “do something” isn’t as clear. It’s either a “dye it” urge, which aren’t too strong ( because I don’t really want to go darker, or blonder, and most urges are “I miss my green hair” or other not normally found on people colors) or a “learn how to style it” thing.

So this is all leading up to me sitting here, rambling at you with a plastic bag on my head as I let the henna do it’s thing.

I want do more “girly” things recently. Get back into painting my nails, learn how to “do” my hair, maybe wear make-up occasionally. Wear nicer clothing than just tee shirts and jeans.

Maybe I’m just trying to convince myself that by putting effort into myself I’m worth the effort. That I’m worth the time it takes to do something just for the sake of looking pretty. That I can spend the money on buying the more expensive lotion that makes my skin look good or a bottle or two of nail polish.

I’m surprised that I haven’t reblogged this, to be honest.
