You Matter - Blog Posts

HunnySenpaii here with Solaire, reminding everyone to be sure to have their full hours of sleep! Tired kitties are cute and all, but happy, energetic kitties are best kitties!

The days may feel long, and times will be tough, but know that you’re doing your best and I am so proud of you. You’re a strong individual, you’re amazing and you are loved.

Please take care of yourself, even a cat nap is alright.

You’re very important, and Solaire and I support you in everything you do!!

This. If I can get this into my head, that would be great

self-improvement should be because you want to improve your quality of life, not because you feel or think you *need* to be better in order to be loved or allowed to live. there's no end goal with self-improvement, it's easy to dig yourself a grave when you don't realize that you're not on a ticking clock to be the 'best version of yourself'. all you need to strive to do is be the version of yourself you are the most happy with. find out what values you find important, what kind of friend do you want to be, how do you want to react to things. what are things that would improve the way you go about life? what would make life easier, better and more enjoyable for you?

Suicide prevention week

Look, not my normal post but this is important.

This month I lost someone I used to work with from suicide, and a friend of mines almost succeeded. 5 years ago my then best friend almost succeeded as well

You may think you don’t matter, you may think people will be happy without you but you’re wrong. I understand some people are in abusive situations where they are told they aren’t important, that they don’t matter. They’re lying to you. They may not care but other people you pass by, that person you have small talk with, someone cares

I have been there, I know how helpless you can feel, I understand. But I also know what it’s like to be on the other side, to see someone you care about come out of that. To know that they’re gone/you almost lost them to something you swear you could have stopped

If you are struggling I beg you to reach out, I am begging you. Please please please reach out. I know it’s hard, I know it’s scary, but you have to fight for yourself. Being alive is worth it please. Even if you have to find “stupid” things to keep going. I used my pets to push me through, that helped me personally to have someone to anchor myself to

If it is keeping you alive then it is not stupid

I know I’m rambling and no I’m not editing this. Please stay alive. Please

That is SO true. ☝🏻 My family does this all the time, and I hate it. 😞

Don’t ever let anyone get you down (too much or for too long,) and don’t let it define your worth. ❤️‍🔥 YOU ARE ENOUGH.

Don’t listen to the lies.

Some reposts from Insta because it’s not easy rn

Stay safe, take your meds, and don’t forget to eat and drink water.

GUYS GUYS GUYS I NEED YOU TO KNOW THIS

Hating yourself is NOT a contained practice. It ALWAYS impacts other people either directly or indirectly. So LET IT GO because not only is it mean to you, it's harmful to everyone in the environment around you.

There is no way to hate without hurting others. Even if you think it's just yourself.

Hating yourself is harming others. Like, almost always. Even if you don’t mean it to.

Loving yourself enough to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself is what makes you more capable of helping others and doing good.

You’re not going to shame and hate yourself into being a better friend, a better spouse, better parent, better person, better service to the world. That’s done through love and gentleness. I promise.

And I know it’s work! There is no switch to flip that takes you magically from self-hatred, self-denial, insecurity, and depression to self-love, self care, gentleness, and joy! It takes work and, for many people, seeking outside help! But it’s worth it worth it worth it, not just for you, but for everyone around you.
