Discipline Is Self Care

your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

No offense but I think some of you would be a lot happier writing a fictional atlas or encyclopedia instead of a narrative story

If you think people used to willingly stare off into the distance before smartphones, my dad told me he had this psychology assignment when he was in college in the 80s which was basically

Go to a restaraunt by yourself and eat a meal without a newspaper or journal or anything else to keep you occupied and then write a report about it

Which tells me that this was a way for a professor to inflict psychological torture on their students and that people used to bring little things with them to keep them entertained. Shown by those old pictures of everyone in a trolley reading a newspaper with one hand.

Frankly I think that the human brain has been craving smart phone forever. Perhaps we use it too much at times but if this was 1985 we also wouldn’t be talking to people. We’d just be looking at newspaper or drawing stuff on notepad instead. And the old people would all be shaking their fists about how kids spend too much time looking at that damn TV because yes this discourse has been going on long before smart phone

Hey, Pookies,

I didn't have any summer classes, so it was hard to find things to post, so it was mostly reblogs and bookish crap, now that school is starting back up, I will be posting more, this blog was a good motovation for me to work, so I guess this was a long way of sayng expect more post, as for what I will be posting, the same little daily checklist, some book reviews and notes if you guys want them, and some writing/studying tips, if you want to suggest any post, please don't hesitate to reach out about ideas and things, I'm always looking out for mutuals and friends.

I was looking into starting an online book club... idk the logistics but I love talking about books, i even toyed with the idea of starting a youtube channel and talking about movies, and starting a side blog explicitly for my writing/photography/baking and cooking.

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

Late diagnosis is realising 90% of the things you were yelled at, bullied, abused, punished, mocked and ridiculed for were actually symptoms or traits of your disability, and neurodivergence.🪐🚀🌌.
