I Over Think Things

“If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers, there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it — some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed. People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a person’s action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder. Maybe you weren’t always able to look at human behavior this way. That’s okay. Now you are. Give it a try.”

— “Laziness Does Not Exist” by E Price on Medium

(And a footnote I didn’t see explicitly covered in the article: laziness still doesn’t exist when it is you yourself making no progress and not knowing why. You deserve that respect and consideration, too, even from yourself.)

Ancient witch proverb, probably (via sandcraft)

“Wolves hate werewolves.’ ‘What? That can’t be right! When she’s wolf-shaped she’s just like a wolf!’ 'So? When she’s human-shaped she’s just like a human. And what’s that got to do with anything? Humans don’t like werewolves. Wolves don’t like werewolves. Wolves don’t like wolves that can think like people, an’ people don’t like people who can act like wolves. Which just goes to show that people are the same everywhere.’ said Gaspode. He assessed this sentence and added, 'Even when they’re wolves.”

Sometimes it’s okay to give yourself a pat on the back and say, ‘That was cool. That made me feel good.’
