A painting of some horses crossing a river in a more impressionistic style. With this painting I focused on the colours and opted for less detail.
me in my head at the supermarket: nobody is ever going to fucking love me. omg 25% off
I know this will bother unhealed adults, but the real world, more often than not, does give you second chances and do overs. Very rarely are things set in stone. And people, especially young people, deserve to know that. Because lording the idea that they can never mess up, even once, does a lot more damage than good.
The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now
How many ambiguously swampy waterhorses do you want to paint?
Me: yes

I know it's an issue that boys are not taught emotional maturity amd women are expected to take care of them but please do not think that therefore it must be true that women ARE taught emotional maturity. Like please take a look at all of our mothers and tell me you honest to god believe that
every post i see that's like "if you're scared of being like [bad person] that's means you're better than them and won't be like them" and it's like. lmao. my dad used to have crying sessions where he would confess his fear of being like his mother and causing me to grow up to hate him. usually after he did something fucking awful, to redirect the attention to his own pain. the girl who sexually assaulted me had panic attacks sometimes about the idea of maybe being a rapist, making it impossible to set sexual boundaries with her without her freaking out. whether you're afraid of being some kind of bad person has basically no bearing on whether you are that way
ALTLITERALLY ANXIETY ISN'T AN INHERENTLY MORAL SOURCE OF SELF-CRITICISM. BEING AFRAID THAT YOU ARE BAD DOES NOT MAKE YOU GOOD IT JUST MAKES YOU ANXIOUS!!!
#as a person with anxiety I find anxiety is often counterproductive to self-reflection#because you’re too busy spiraling over Bad Thing You Did to actually do anything about it#you need to break that tunnel vision in order to actually make the change#i don’t like to sit with my anxieties for that reason#sitting there feeling guilty over what I did doesn’t do any good#it just made me and anyone I hurt feel worse#striving for actual change and making amends is the best way forward#but you have to break the doom spiral in order to be clearheaded enough to do that#sa tw
literally you get it.
saw that post about someone joining tumblr with their actual full name and it gave me the shudders
DO NOT DO THIS, new people!
this is the anonymous website: bosses and relatives and real life don't follow you here
if you have a business or are a "creator" or whatever, you can just go by the business name or your artist tag or your nomme de plume if you must
we are not normalizing using this site like f*cebook!
learn to interact as an amorphous collective of preferences and conceits that people associate visually only with the image of your icon like the rest of us
When people really love you, they’ll be so gentle and intentional w their words
You know you’re being loved when you feel understood, valued and respected
