Dive into a world of creativity!
/nbh hey I know that i’m just a silly blog who has no consistent post schedule, but I wanted to do some seriousposting tonight. (this kinda turns into me venting so uh,,,)
this is just a reminder to check up on the people who you care about, and make sure you know that words can hurt. They can hurt like thousands of cuts at once, even if you don’t notice.
but, you can’t just say nothing to them. You can’t live in silence. So even if you say the wrong thing, you need to be there to show that you still care about them, even if you hurt them on accident. Don’t brush it off. Let them know, listen to them. Learn from your wrongs instead of turning them into rights.
I literally just had a breakdown over a passing comment someone made, and they didn’t brush it off, call me sensitive, or make it seem less serious. They listened to me, asked if we could touch to try and ground me, and talked. They tried to understand where I was. They listened to me. They kept me up here. Neither of us knew this would happen, I had just reached my breaking point of keeping it together for the day.
you’ve probably heard the metaphor of how you can feel like you’re going underwater if your headspace just isn’t safe anymore, right? Don’t be what shoves them under even farther. Be the lifesaver, or even just try and throw it to them.
To reiterate, don’t be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. /nbh
