Rec | NOT BEING SCARED OF BUGS

i wish i were one of those people. those tiny guys are probably more scared of me than i am of them and i tell myself that constantly. yet i still can’t be chill around most of them, especially flying or jumpy ones. i want to be their friend i really do. i am so sorry, bugs :(

i dont want to be their friend and i dont feel bad about that. sometimes. its ok to have enemies. and mine are the entire ant kindgom. if you're an ant just fuck off honestly. if i see an ant i dont even feel a little bit bad for it. the ant probably has way more friends than me and more success. just fuck off, ant guy. stop rubbing your successes in my face. fucking ant

natalya while ants happen to be one of my few insect friends i understand your sentiment and feel this way towards wasps and spider crickets. they are no friends of mine and i will not submit to their reign.

bugs are friends

inconvenience/annoyance should not give us the right to kill a bug once you start, you begin to realize how friendly some of them are. my favorite are small milkweed bugs. they will crawl up on my desk while I work and just hang out with me. i still struggle with flies though ... god they are so fucking annoying

making peace with having a few bugs inside

This is an idea I’ve been coming back to a lot recently. Sometimes bugs come inside and that’s okay. I have to remind myself that outside bugs being inside is not some sort of cleanliness failure on my part. I’m very diligent about keeping my living space clean, but some things you can’t control. Bugs are just living their lives, and they don’t care about these structures we’ve built to separate ourselves from the elements. Sometimes I want to open the window while I work, but I don’t because I’m worried flies will get inside. But like... that’s okay!!!! I can handle a fly or two being in my space. I shouldn’t let that fear stop me from enjoying the fresh air, and neither should you.
