How do you fall back in love with life?

malisoun-deactivated20200727 answered:

  1. clean your room.  clean space, uncluttered space, space that doesn’t have miasma clinging to it can work wonders.  clean the dishes.  sweep.  take out the trash.  peel the clothes off the floor and wash them, and then actually fold/hang them.  take a long shower.  scrub behind your knees.  brush your teeth.  (this can be utterly exhausting, but try to get it done in a day, if you can.  the end result is worth it.)
  2. pull out your notebook.  it doesn’t need to be a new notebook, but preferably one that you don’t usually write in, or that you haven’t touched in a while.  fuck moleskins.  the yellow legal pad will work fine.  sit in your room, or in the park, or in the library, and write a list.  count clouds.  describe all the colors that you see, and note patterns that arise.  sketch the cracks in the walls.  note the shape light makes when it enters a space.  talk about what the air tastes like, smells like.  what sounds are there?  even the white nose, break that down: air planes, fans, cicadas, anything.  remind yourself that you are sitting in the middle of a space brimming with detail.  remind yourself that you are not in nothingness and emptiness.  your world is fathomless.  it has potential.
  3. drink cold water and try to eat something that isn’t processed.  it does not need to be fancy.  buy yourself an apple with the change between your couch cushions.  eat it outside.  if you’re someone who walks, walk somewhere afterwards, just to stretch your legs.  take your fucking meds.  remember that its a good thing that you are inside your body.  your body is a fantastic and endlessly intricate machine, and even though society has smacked a bunch of poisonous ideas on it, that doesn’t change its inherent worth and splendor.  take care of it.
  4. read a novel.  underline your favorite lines, and write phrases that twist your heart inside your chest on the back of your hand with an ink pen.  read a novel like it’s poetry.  read poetry, something decadent but unpretentious.  watch a movie you haven’t seen before.  if there are free art galleries near you, walk through one.  take your time.  let yourself bask.  if there are patterns in what makes your soul ache, write those patterns down – marbles arches or soot crumbling bricks or dandelions or descriptions of dresses or whatever it is, write them down.
  5. your chosen family is important.  remember, they picked you as much as you picked them.  the love has no obligation.  it is given freely and it is given from a place of compassion.  you are not a burden.  if you need to breathe, take a minute by yourself and just exist, but remember to go back to your people.  when they need you, listen and be gracious.  always be gracious.  the universe sometimes remembers things like that.
  6. listen to new music.  link jump on youtube or related artist jump on spotify or ask the chap beside you in the cafe what their favorite band is, and listen to that.  listen to something that you don’t usually listen to.  we tend to tie up a lot of memory with music.  we are falling in love again.  the soundtrack needs to be specific to that.  
  7. allow yourself to indulge in romantics.  press flowers in old books.  play movies with subtitles and mouth the words.  dance in your room.  wear something that makes you feel good, even if you wouldn’t wear it in public.  write your chosen family letters, even if you hand deliver them.  write poetry, even awful poetry.  revel in its awfulness.  eat dark chocolate and when your chosen family want to go out, try to go out with them sometimes, even if its just to the market.

A better, more positive Tumblr

staff

Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.

Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).  

Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.

So what is changing?

Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.

Why are we doing this?

It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.

Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.

So what’s next?

Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.

Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.

Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.

Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

  • get some sunlight
  • listen to some new music
  • get dressed - even if you’re not going out
  • journal
  • pay attention to what you’re eating
  • look people in the eye - it gets easier with practice

  • pack your bag the night before
  • aim for 8 hours sleep

The signs recently #2

princessofgoldblr

Aries: We understand that you are tough by nature but try and remember that not everyone is as harsh as you. They always associate the colour red with you, strong, violent and passionate but they forget to remember its the colour of love as well. People do love you, remember that and perhaps you will feel less angry.

Taurus: Life is tough, but so are you. Show them what the bull can do, roar and rage until you have demonstrated that power you have. Life doesn’t have to have flowers blooming every second of the day, sometimes you need to let it pour with thunder and lighting so that your creations can grow. To be cruel can be kinder than sugarcoating the truth.

Gemini: Smile, life is going for you. You are a child of air, being stable on your feet has never been your thing but now look around you. You have created all this. This has been a time of tranquility, the storm has passed. Do not forget your struggles as they have made you stronger. 

Cancer: Beauty is springing from your mouth. You have always been so soft spoken and everyone has watched you in awe as peace fell from your mouth. Recently, you haven’t been feeling that fulfillment in your life recently. Don’t worry though, this is just a bad patch and it will get better. You are allowed to have breaks of absence, just don’t make it permanent.

Leo: Child of fire, do you ever take a break. We know its in your nature to be vibrant and wild but recently you’ve built a wall against stability. Sometimes, you need that time of reflection to figure yourself out. Take down that image you’ve created of yourself, its ok to open up.

Virgo: Do you ever appreciate how brilliant you are? I’m not just talking about those amazing exam grades but your gentle nature for those struggling. You’ve always had your clear path to greatness, but now your taking time to look at the flowers and its doing you good. Life is beautiful, just remember to look.

Libra: Life has been tough lately but remember that the sun does come out, it might just be a bit longer than those in different places. However, remember that once the sun comes, the joy and peace will be explode and all the grief, sadness and strength will disappear. You are worth so much more.

Scorpio: A lot of stress has hit you recently. People can take your quiet nature as an advantage. Don’t let them though, we are used to you hiding your feelings beneath the surface. Be a river let all the water flow out of you, do not be ashamed of your emotions, have you ever seen a water fall? They are magnificent and so are you.

Sagittarius: You are a warrior, fighting for those beliefs you believe so strongly in. People look at you and expect to see that optimistic person, but remember that you are allowed to fight for what you believe in. Its ok to be cruel sometimes, people will still love you.

Capricorn: How you make me smile! I love how you come over all difficulties in your life. I know people always expect you to be strict and stern, but you have all life under you. Don’t be ashamed of you roots, as when the flowers disappear, people need to know whats underneath. Don’t worry about your softer side, it is an essential part of who you are.

Aquarius: I feel like you are finally taking responsibility for your actions. You are finally realizing that nobody owes you anything. this is real life, you have to fight for what you want. Its easy just to do things your way, but open your eyes to the suffering around you. People hide their feelings everyday, not everyone is hear to make you happy. 

Pisces: Birthday season! I wish you luck and good fortune for this year to come. I hope you have a happy year. I feel like people misunderstand you sometimes, as your emotional layer can cause people feel that you’re too fake. However, they are not the ones living your life. You are, and remember that.
