I am so on board with 2018 being the year we switch from self deprication to self love. I’m not saying you can’t use self depreciating humor to deal with stuff, but I would challenge you to really cut back on how much you talk about yourself in really negative ways. Because if you only ever talk about yourself as worthless garbage, that’s absolutely how you’re going to feel about yourself, and it’s really going to get in the way of your personal growth and developing a more health self image. Start small, start slow, but try to be kinder to yourself in the new year. Celebrate your little victories, forgive your setbacks, remember that you have worth and deserve happiness and love. You are not garbage.
Every Wednesday I walk a river walk trail from my work to rowing, and there’s this sculpture on the trail:
Pokemon Go affectionately refers to it as “The Hollow Man”, and it’s kind of cool on it’s own. Except, when I normally walk the trail, it’s after work, at night:
This thing is SEVEN FEET TALL and the actual title of the sculpture is “The Unkillable Human.”
IT’S TERRIFYING.
it became so beautiful to me after learning the actual name of it.
“This would be deleted off the SCP wiki in a day for being too cliche” is my favorite kind of real thing.
