i feel like social media has made us so self-aware of our actions/habits/behaviors. we are thinking of what is cool or trendy or desirable. we are too afraid to be cringe! to be stupid! to be lame! the best community i have found is the people who are not afraid to like what they like & are proud of it. do the stuff you always wanted to try. the people will follow.

true! it takes courage to be yourself - and even more to express it. once a loved virtue, uniqueness is quickly dismissed today. wish we weren’t set in moulds like popsicles 🥶

like the things that you like to the fullest extent. tv shows, books, video games, bored games, all of it!! don’t be embarrassed about what you like if others might think it’s weird, if they’re disparaging you/your interests then they’re not worth your time embrace the things that make you smile and laugh, no matter how cringe

it's actually better to be weird! confuse people, be ugly, passionate, be YOU. i spent so much time trying to be perfect and liked by everyone and that way i just got a lot of shallow connections because i refused to let people see the real me and get to really know me. it's silly to chase perfection as it donesn't exist and being weird is better than being boring :p

If you are a grown adult, who has interests, hobbies, friends, a job, family… why the fuck are you caring about what other people do? Cringing at people who are different is small-minded thinking. Confining yourself to what you know and what is palatable to others doesn’t allow you to stay relevant or have your ideas and concepts last throughout time. Most of the best artists were judged and thought to be weird, and that’s who lasts. Hating what you don’t understand at its core is not only bias but also prejudice, which enabled being bigoted. I am a level-2 autistic person who makes disability advocacy content and actively posts on socials as if it’s a diary. I do a lot of cool things (opening a sick af irl business as an event organizer/promoter/social media person), make sick art, but I also unironically love S3RL, Dorian Electra, anime, vocaloids, dating simulators that are often gay, speedcore, and Weezer. I’ve been into most of these things since 2010 and I was not popular for it. I also couldn’t have a back and forth conversation I was 7 and didn’t have friends up until 2 years ago… but the cool thing about it is that I was myself the entire time without shame and now my life is awesome. Be yourself and be open minded and curious, and maybe you will also not be miserable. Happiness is found without instilling judgment; to be free is to welcome knowledge and understanding. You can use your energy for literally anything else and you will find more purpose than being a hater.

this is only a habit i have picked up in the last year, but it has made a world of difference. i will write about things that i am thinking about or stuff i need to do or just chronicle my day. i just find it very grounding or like a reset to my thought processes.

something about cooking is just so peaceful. monotonous and obligatory, sure, but it’s just a little sliver of calmness in my day that reminds me of when i did it with my mom or my dad or my grandmother. i now love to cook for myself but especially for other people
