CW: mentions of derealisation/depersonalisation/sense of reality

Friendly reminder to those who struggle with their sense of reality that you are real, just like me, and everyone else!! The land you’re standing on is real, the places you go are real, your family and friends are real.

If you focus on an older object, notice all the details, all the creases and cracks, all the specs, all the imperfections and markings. Focus on how it feels in your hands and how all these creases, cracks, and imperfections can be felt.

Notice all the signs of aging, whether it be dust, loose threads, anything. That object is real, the object is real and has been for months to years. Notice, see and feel that on the object.

As it has aged, you have as well, because you are here and real, like that object.
