#love yourself

LIVE

a simple reminder…

…to be kind to yourself.

beating up yourself is not going to help. be patient and take care of the words you speak and think to and for yourself.

you deserve kindness. you deserve the best ✨

this is a reminder to…

…hydrate yourself.

keeping up your positivity along with all that you do in life is hard work.

make sure you stay hydrated and healthy. care for yourself ✨

☀️

you’re the sun…

…in your own universe.

shine bright. focus on yourself. exude warmth and let yourself shine.

you’re the centre. you matter ✨

this is a reminder…

…that youa re capable enough.

times are tough and you’re feeling low but that doesn’t mean that you don’t have the ability. this feeling is temporary.

your courage and capabilities are permanent, right there inside you. let it come out. ✨

if it’s tough right now…

… remember that time changes. circumstances change. life isn’t constant.

all the efforts you’re making. all the tiny steps you’re taking. all the healing that you’re allowing yourself to go through. it’s all going to come together.

it’s going to give you a new, brighter and happier you. keep going. keep trying ✨

take this as a reminder…

…to forgive yourself for the mistakes you made in the past.

you’ve grown ever since and have come so far. let go of the past. don’t let it hold you back. learn from it and move on.

you deserve forgiveness. most of all from your own self. move forward ✨

pick your battles

not every issue is worth wasting your peace on.

make sure you know what to fight for. let go of all the rest. now is not the time to pay attention to what doesn’t bring you peace, growth, and healing.

focus on you. focus on forward

this is a reminder…

that you’ve come so far!

where you started is left behind and this new you is brighter, wholesome, and more positive, even if only a little more than the old you.

your progress matters, no matter how much. you’re doing great. keep going on ✨

it’s on the way

the thing, person, event or change that you are waiting for is coming.

keep working towards it. keep holding on. it’ll be here soon ✨

it’s slow right now…

…but not stagnant.

things are happening. they are in the background and you can’t see it yet but the wheels are moving to bring the best to you.

find the patience within. look forward to the brightness ahead ✨

Can be used for self love or finding true love. You don’t need anything to cast, but you can use white, pink or red candles or incense/ oils related to love. Or, as the title suggests, use this as a mantra and repeat it as often as desired.

Love is true
Love is real
Love is joy and never hate
Fill me light
Fill me with hope
Never to doubt what’s in my heart
Always sure of my intent.With highest hopes
And shadows gone,I cast out doubt
And fill with life. 

Know what gives you pleasure. Don’t be shy of it, don’t be scared to guide your partner, show them the way to the ultimate goal❤️‍

It can be hard sometimes, but it will be worth it

Show them where to touch, lick, stare and suck. Show them your most vulnerable, yet powerful spots, show them you weaknesses and strength, show them how to love you.

And love them back. Respect them, listen to them and give back the pleasure you just got.

Remember: you are at your most powerful, when you’re together. Those feelings are what makes you so strong. Hold on to that.

Human Moment

Alright, writeblr—

When you see this, reblog it with three things that make you (unconventionally) beautiful— or just something you LIKE about yourself. We have a lot of negative self-talk and self-deprecating humor in this community, and it’s time to take it back.

Here are mine:

  1. I have countless freckles.
  2. I’m good at making children feel seen and heard.
  3. I like the stories I write!

And you’re going to see this and be like, “Oh, but this isn’t for me,” but it IS and it’s time to own YOU.

Inspired by a conversation with @madammuffins. And I’m tagging @mvcreates@pens-swords-stuff@jojoscoffeeandwriting@caitwritesstuff@crowswritetooand@scottishhellhound to help me get this started, too?

Let’s do this.

1. I love my writing and my OCs SO MUCH.

2. I have kind eyes and smile a lot.

3. I’m authentically and infectiously optimistic and excitable.

Gonna tag you guys

@hopefulmoonobject@mfackenthal@umccall71@carabeth@leelee10898@speedyoperarascalparty@riseandshinelittleblossom@explorer-of-gems@coffee-obsessed-writer@annekebbphotography@ao719@lauradowning29@romanticatheart-posts@kuladekiwi@minusfractions@thequeenofcronutsxx

This is so right up my alley … even though I find these things more difficult than I probably should …

1. I have a crooked smile. 

2. When in groups, I am always the one who will go off with that one person who doesn’t seem interested in what everyone else is doing.  If I can’t bring them into the group, I just hang out with them.

3. I love supporting other people.

And here come the tags …

Thank you @mfackenthal@likethetailofacomet@zaffrenotes@speedyoperarascalparty!!

It is so hard to compliment ourselves. I know how hard it is for me. So here goes!

  • I can talk to pretty much anyone. I’m extroverted and get this trait from my outgoing dad. At the grocery store, at work, when we are hanging out with friends. I can converse pretty well.
  • I have, knock on wood, a decent memory. I can remember pretty minute details about people, things they do, say, wear. I can remember facts pretty well. (It’s how I can keep all this fanfic straight!)
  • Being a damn ray of sunshine. I like making people happy. Gonna lump on here that I get very excitable (when I have the energy for it).

Tagging:@lifeof314universe@verybadcrookshanks@bhavf@choicesyouplayandmore@choiceslife@ifyouseekheart@ooo-barff-ooo@littlecrookedheart@ladynonsense@lilyofchoices@niytavia@queen-among-writers@queerchoicesblog@itsbrindleybinch@ludextruction@the-writerly-night-owl@strangerofbraidwood@teenagediplomatfestivalauthor@zuaovca@pbmychoices@rulesofthebeneath@pixieferry

Thank you for the tag @brightpinkpeppercorn! This is such a good post chain. I struggle to compliment myself like most of us do, but here goes…

1. I’m adventurous. Maybe it comes from trailing after a lot of older siblings as a child, but I can never stay in my comfort zone for long.

2. I aim high. I’m not one for giving myself easy goals.

3. I’m relentlessly optimistic and (to quote a friend) persistently kind.

I’m gonna tag @melodyofgraves@pixelburied@pixieferry@missameliep@ifyouseekheart@rulesofthebeneath@ludextruction and, as per usual, anyone else reading this!

Thanks for tagging me @mfackenthal@itsbrindleybinch

I’m good on complimenting people, but I struggle to compliment myself and even accept compliments from others so I took my time to answer:

1. My hair. Big, volumous and curly. People used to make me hate it when I was growing up, but I grew to love it. And it’s one of my favourite physical traits nowadays

2. I’m on a good mood pretty much all the time and I can make people laugh with me (I’m funnier in Portuguese, however, and that’s one of the things my husband says have made him fall in love with me) and I laugh a lot too (so often I cry from all the laughter. ).

3. Creativity. That’s a trait I’ve had since I was a child and I think it’s positive. I always liked and was good on creating things and stories… Wheter it was writing (I’ve been writing since I was a child), cooking, handicrafts (DIY is something I love) or photography… it’s my thing.

Tagging:@choicesbyjade@lou-who-writes@frugalchoicer@fairydustandsarcasm (sorry if you have been tagged before or have already answered it)

Tagged by @missameliep, thank you! You’re lovely!

Pffffft, here we go. I’m not really sure but this is what I thought of.

1. I think I’m fairly smart. Like I get good grades, I’m interested in what I learn, and I can pick up fast and can think on my feet. It helps my confidence in a lot of situations, honestly, but I’m also smart enough to know I’mnot as smart as I’d like to be.

2. I have very good memory! It helps in many situations.

3. I think I can give pretty solid advice and I know exactly what to say in certain situations. There are instances where my friend push me forward to do the talking, and I think it’s partly because I’m sensitive (which lbr gets a problem sometimes) but yeah.

Let’s see, I’ll tag @worldofchoicesand@itsbrindleybinch! I’m so sorry if you did this already!

Thanks for the tag @fairydustandsarcasm !! It’s a great idea and honestly got me thinking haha.

  1. I love my hands. I know it might be weird to some people but my hands are really well proportioned, not too thick, not too thin, having moderately long fingers. Anyways, I think they look good in pictures
  2. I’m a great listener. Anytime my friends have to vent or get some advice, I try to listen to what they have to say before saying anything. I think I do a good job at it since no one has ran away yet lol.
  3. My eyes. I’ve been told I have beautiful eyes. At first I used to laugh it off but I really like my eye color and shape now. It’s color is in between Hazel and Amber.

Tagging@indiacater@lilyofchoices@cj7567 I’m sorry if you did this before!

Thanks for the tags @brightpinkpeppercorn and @worldofchoices​

My hidden beauty is: 

1) I’m smart. Not in the conventional sense but in the if you put your nose to the grindstone you can accomplish amazing things. I never thought I would be able to follow my dream and teach and yet, here I am (I teach Latin and Formal Logic).
2) I am a good writer even when I struggle there is beauty to be found in my writing.
3) Stemming from #2: I love to branch out and try new things. I’m kind of fearless that way. An example. I write scholarly papers (think, “The Role of the Latin Language in Education in 20th Century America”) but you lovelies inspired me to try something new and I’ve caught the bug. Writing fiction has been so freeing. It has quickly become my go-to for stress relief.

Tagging@galaxiia-quean  and @hatlley If you’ve been tagged already ignore this tag but know that you, and all the other writers out there are my heroes and you inspire me every day to experience something new.

@lilyofchoices you’re amazing and you, along with all the others who leave comments on my fics, are the reason I continuar to write. I’m kind of a perfectionist and never fully happy with what I write so I wonder why you even enjoy reading my work, but it really makes my day

To be honest, I’m only replying now because I had to think hard about this. I grew up with a lot of insecurities, so I never actually liked anything about me, but here it goes:

— one of the things I’m most proud of about me, is how easy English is for me. As most of you know, I’m Portuguese and I am not kidding when I saw I know more about English than my own language. It warms my heart when people on fanfic writing websites think it’s my native language.

— when I was young , I immigrated to Switzerland (I’m back now) and I was super scared because I didn’t know a word of French. I adapted pretty quickly to the language and the country and managed to be one of the best students in my class, surpassing kids who grew up there. I often dismiss how big of an achievement that was for me, so it’s nice to be reminded once in a while.

— thirdly, I guess I can make people laugh? By people, I mean my parents. I can be quite annoying at times and don’t know when to stop, but I can always make my mom crack a smile when she’s feeling down and my dad and I are thick as thieves. My brother, not so much, but he’s an exception.

I’m tagging @cordoniansqueen@radlovedreamer@valiantlychaoticbarbarian@perriewinklenerdie you all are the reason I find the inspiration to write and you make me smile even when I feel my work is shit, so thank you for being awesome human beings!

Once again, thanks @lilyofchoices for tagging me, you’re great, never change!

너는 내 삶에 다시 뜬 햇빚
어린 시절 내 꿈들의 재림
모르겠어 이 감정이 뭔지
혹시 여기도 꿈 속인건지
꿈은 사막의 푸른 신기루
내 안 깊은 곳에 아프리오리
숨이 막힐 둣이 행복해져
주변이 점점 더 투명해져

저기 멀리서 바다가 들려
꿈을 건너서 수풀 너머로
선명해지는 그곳으로 가
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (ooh ooh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia

무지개저럼 지워진 꿈을 찾아 헤맸을까
운명같은 흔한 말관 달라
아픈 너의 눈빛이 나와 같은 것을 보는 걸
Won’t you please stay in dreams yeah

저기 멀리서 바다가 들려
꿈을 건너서 수풀 너머로
선명해지는 그곳으로 가
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

모래바닥이 갈라진대도
그 누가 이 세계를 흔들어도
잡은 손 절대 놓지 말아줘
제발 꿈에서 깨어나지 마

저기 멀리서 바다가 들려
꿈을 건너서 수풀 너머로
선명해지는 그곳으로 가
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia

English

You are the sunlight that rose again in my life
The second coming of the dreams from my youth
I don’t know what this emotion is
Perhaps this is also the inside of a dream
A dream is the blue mirage of the desert
Deep inside of me, a priori
I become happy to the point of being unable to breathe
The surroundings, bit by bit, become clearer

The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my Euphoria

Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (ooh ooh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia

Would I have wandered to find a dream that disappears like a rainbow
It’s different from a common word like “destiny”
Your painful gaze and I are looking to the same place
Won’t you please stay in dreams

The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my Euphoria

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria

Even if the surface of the desert splits apart
Even if someone shakes up this world
Don’t ever let go of the grasped hand
Please don’t wake up from the dream

The sea can be heard from far away
Across the dream and over the woods
I go to the place that is becoming clearer
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my Euphoria

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Euphoria
Take my hands now
You are the cause of my euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Euphoria
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Close the door now
When I’m with you, I’m in utopia

Summer’s in the air and, baby, heaven’s in your eyes

cudsandhugs:

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while so imma do it. 

I recently saw a post on a magazine shaming women’s bodies, even though their bodies were NATURAL, which reminded me of a post a while back that touched on it as well, and I’d like to offer my experience. 

This is my body.

As you can see I’m what people may consider “skinny.” Many people have given me remarks about how skinny I am, how they wish they had my body, etc, etc.

But this is the important thing. Here is what my lower torso looks like in natural bending/seated positions…

Skin and muscle are naturally supposed to fold and roll, it’s just how are bodies are designed, it’s how we work. 

OH MY GOD YES

THANK GOD SOMEONE SAID IT

PEOPLE NEED TO BE BODY POSITIVE, NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT FOR EVERYONE AROUND YOU

DON’T BE AFRAID TO COMPLIMENT THAT SHIT DOES SO MUCH GOOD FOR THIS ELUSIVE THING CALLED SELF-CONFIDENCE
