Under capitalism, we are taught that we have to be productive to matter. Our accomplishments are the only important thing. But you are important, you are special, just for existing. It doesn't matter what you've done, it doesn't matter how productive you are. You only have to exist and be you.

I am #trans and hiding that fact makes me feel like I'm suffocating. No matter how much I don't want to keep masking, there are always days when my #anxiety gets the best of me. But I still want to be myself, and I encourage everyone to do the same.

I spent so much of my life living for other people that the question "What do you want?" always stumped me. But I've found wonderful people that love me for who I am and care about what I want. I wish that for all of you too.

Good morning, friend!

This is your reminder that there are people that value and love you just the way you are. You don't have to be anything different than just you. I like you just the way you are.

I hope you have a day as wonderful as you are! 😊🩵🩵✨

I was speaking to a friend to day who really needs a lot of reassurance about stuff and sometimes so do I... I saw this and cried... I sent this to her and want other people to know this as well... #reason #beyourselfalways #speakout #alwaystalktosomeone

So far since being here, I'm so very pleased not to have come across any of those vomit inducing posts that saturate that other place...the ones that suggest "be the best version of yourself...Yadda dribble blah etc" often accompanied with some awful new-age imagery...I once waded into one of those threads pointing out how flawed we are, only to be met with new-age scorn, with plenty of expletives attached 😂🤦‍♂️
