I am so on board with 2018 being the year we switch from self deprication to self love. I’m not saying you can’t use self depreciating humor to deal with stuff, but I would challenge you to really cut back on how much you talk about yourself in really negative ways. Because if you only ever talk about yourself as worthless garbage, that’s absolutely how you’re going to feel about yourself, and it’s really going to get in the way of your personal growth and developing a more health self image. Start small, start slow, but try to be kinder to yourself in the new year. Celebrate your little victories, forgive your setbacks, remember that you have worth and deserve happiness and love. You are not garbage.

taz deity au pt iii: “–and although there was pain, there life and hope, too. the scholars prayed unto angus, the youthful god of discovery, of curiosity and exploration, and through the war they still progressed, still grew. tales of the gods say those of companionship and song cared deeply for one another, and it was said you could not invoke the name of one without gaining the gifts and favor of the other. and so avi, god of companionship, always seemed to herald prayers to johann, god of song. and the people made their victories immortal, put their tragedy into music, and gripped the hands of their friends, families, and lovers tight. and though the darkness crept into places unwelcome, it could be chased away, if only for a moment, by a joyful piano, a sombre stroke of the violin, or a child’s voice.”
