why do mosquitoes have to leave itchy bites. cant they just drink blood w/o ruining my day, like i have a lot of blood, u can have some, this is just excessive
I respect children as a group and honestly just love children. I frankly think we just need to show far more respect to them than we do.
They’re literally just getting used to their bodies, most things they do they are new to, and they’re not accustomed to the world yet.
Also, just about any bad day or any pain they experience, can technically be said to be the worst they’ve ever experienced. This I think is worth recognizing when you think a child is acting too “dramatic”.
I used to have a huge problem with children, because of my problem with my ears… But ever since changing my outlook on them… and you know… Dealing with my own issues with them.
I’ve come to be far more tolerant of them in public space. Kids need to get to move and be loud. When we judge and get angry over them running around, we’re no different from the adults who yelled at us as kids.
We need to break the cycle here. Kids deserve better, and they deserve to be kids. They deserve to be humanized and to have their needs met. They need to be able to be treated as children, and for that to also not be a bad thing.
I love children, they are our future, and they are very fragile and have so much to learn… So let’s not throw the emotional garbage on them that adults used to throw at us. Let them be kids.
I honestly though, just hope so many of you don’t have children. I genuinely hope some of you learn and change your outlook on children, before you ever even consider being parents.
Because so much on this site I see about kids… Is absolutely cruel and evil. And it frankly shocks me because the next moment you all will pretend like you’re for “survivors”.
Well, the shitty and power-trippy and suppressive view we have on kids, is exactly how we get to the point where kids are just frickin broken. If kids weren’t constantly made insecure, got yelled at or punished, then we would have so fewer problems I feel in society.
ppl will talk as if kids won’t notice as well and like, yeah if you’re actively trying to be kind and considerate yeah they might not, but if you’re acting one tenth as disgusted and disrespectful as some of these ppl come across kids are human too and they Will notice. how many of us can point to parents or teachers or other adults we knew who very clearly did not like us, or made no attempt to hide how they thought we were irrelevant and inferior? kids notice consistent patterns, kids notice outbursts, kids notice when you treat older ppl with kindness and respect but demean them. you don’t get a free arsehole pass just bc kids can’t hold you to account like adults can.
you know I once googled how very organized housewives kept their homes super clean. And one thing they suggested was, if a task can be done in less than 2 minutes, do it right away.
And I have to think about this very often when depression tells me to delay doing things, if it tells me something is too much work right now etc.
If I can do it in less than 2 minutes I can do it no matter how exhausting it seems.
That’s what I tell myself. And it works!
I get more done and after 2 minutes I usually realize the pain doing this thing is not so horrible as my brain suggested. And then I keep going and expand the task and get real work done, holy shit
That’s…. actually brilliant. Two minutes is so short, it’s relatively an easy amount of time to FORCE yourself to work on something, even when you’re just completely deflated.
What works really really well for me is to compound annoying tasks that don’t require much thought with something actually pleasant. It took a long time to find the actual pleasant thing, but with audiobooks I can actually end up looking for chores to do because I want to continue listening to the book, and it doesn’t combine well with anything except the most mindless work.
That’s how I cleaned my bathroom top to bottom two weeks ago, after barely being able to pick up empty loo rolls from the floor for…well, months.
That’s how i’ve kept my house “company ready” for over a month now, a major accomplishment for me. I’m having guests over in a few hours and I’ve spent the day farting around on tumblr and taking walks out in the gorgeous weather instead of stress cleaning for the entire day.
That’s why I try and make the bed every morning. It’s a thing I can look at that’s neat and tidy and doesn’t take long at all, but helps me feel like I actually DID something.
That moment of accomplishment is sometime just enough momentum to push through the syrup of depression.
