I Love Y’all

Do you ever just over analyze every thought you have trying to figure out who you are and what your supposed to be? Like fuck it can’t I just lay on the ground and stare at the stars and love who my heart decides to love without my internalized homophobia and sexual repression kicking in like who decided that labels for people were a good idea?

Can you please elaborate on the Stephen Colbert RPF thing. This is a judgment free zone I’m just deathly curious

Ah yes well you see Stephen Colbert used to play a parody of a Fox News pundit on a show called The Colbert Report (American news satire program popular in the late 00s/early 10s). The character was explicitly a closeted gay man who was driven to conservatism due to his own insecurity/internalized homophobia. He had a homoerotic relationship with Jon Stewart whom he pretended to hate but had several romantic moments with.

When their shows ended they wrote a soft epilogue for their fictionalized selves where they retire to a cabin in the woods together and it’s implied they’re married now. The most beautiful self-written rpf of all time.

It was a beautiful slow burn self-written rpf that unfolded over, like, 10 years they worked together? It started as a joke but ended up being a genuine canon part of the fictionalized Stephen Colbert? I’m not joking.

dam…….. that website “you feel like shit” (it’s like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really works………………….. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better

‘eat the frog' method

Hi all, it’s werelivingarts. I just stumbled across this method called ‘eat the frog’, which means you get the most difficult or important task out of your way first. I actually have been using this method for a long time, hope this post gives you a new way of managing your time and productivity! 😜 ❤️

“If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.” – Mark Twain 

anyway i love girls 💋

I have deep love for the cat.

Identity is complicated. Choosing labels that work for you and are useful for you is more important than perfect accuracy.

You can pay $0 to medications that cost $1000s by just applying to manufacturers’ websites!

When I initially relocated from Canada to the US and they told me that monthly cost of Xarelto (a type of blood thinner) is $550, and my thousands dollar a year student insurance only covered about $15/month, I was shocked.

Long story short, I googled lots of coupons and most of them didn’t work as promised.

I luckily came across with manufacturer’s coupon, which asked a few basic questions. Whether I could pay the medication without financial hardship (No), and name, address, insurance type. It than gave me a pdf card (they mailed a regular card later), with which I went to my pharmacy. The cashier at the pharmacy tried the card and told me that my total was $5. That was it! I didn’t pay a penny for the remaining 3 years.

Tl;dr: If your medication is expensive and your insurance isn’t very helpful, go to the manufacturer’s website for manufacturer’s coupons, which may bring the cost to $0.

On days you feel exhausted but frustrated because you feel like you haven’t done anything to be this tired, think about these things:

How longe since you’ve had a good night’s sleep? No nightmares, no waking up multiple times, actually going to bed early, not having insomnia, actually waking up feeling rested and ready to face the day?

How long has it been since you ate a properly nutritious and wholesome meal?

How long since you’ve taken a break from work without thinking about all the work you will have to do later?

Are you currently fighting any illness? Remember your body takes energy to recover.

Are you really “doing nothing” if you are constantly overthinking the fact you feel unproductive, if you are constantly stressed with the things you do and don’t do?

Have you had bad/no social interaction lately?

Are you in any physical or mental pain?

Are you taking care of everyone but yourself?

Does trying to live during a pandemic and world crisis brings you worry and stress?

Are you feeling anguish over all the burdens you have to carry but don’t seem to be able to do everything you feel like you should be doing?

Are you constantly worried? Anxious?

It doesn’t feel like you have been doing nothing now, does it? It feels like you have a lot going on that you have to deal with daily, even when you don’t consciously notice it. There is a lot of stress inducing factors around you and struggling is okay.

It is not easy to be human sometimes, so please, don’t pressure yourself so much when you are already trying to cope. If it feels like everything is too heavy, please ask for help.

Please take care of yourself. 🌱

what a BEAUTIFUL BOY
