Exhibit A why parents should have as little input in their children’s education as possible
even in the COMMENTS people are wrong! conflict doesn’t mean people fighting or yelling at each other. conflict is just another name for the motivating force in any given story. the parents turning into pigs in spirited away is a CONFLICT (chihiro wanted her parents not to be pigs, the ghosts wanted them to be pigs. they had different motivations that were in CONFLICT with each other). conflict does not have to end with a resolution (although many ghibli narratives DO). conflict is just ‘why is this story happening’
fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says “actually works” does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i’ve let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i’ve overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i’m less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i’ve actually started healing about something once i’m able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i’m gonna do it tho
I hate you open floorplan I hate you white stone interior I hate you gray and white furniture I hate you visually interesting uncomfortable vinyl chair
my dad is the funniest person in the world to make small talk with. we passed a taco bell and he was like “what’s your favorite thing to get there” and i said “the crunchwrap supreme” and he said “tell me about it” and i described it to him and he said “that sounds delicious. what’s your second favorite thing at taco bell”
A friend of mine who doesn’t even use Tumblr has picked up on the “Derin is Tumblr famous” running joke so now I’m getting called a “Tumblr A-lister” on facebook. 😒 Escape is becoming impossible.
