if you regret any of the sexual experiences you’ve had i’m here for you. if you didn’t say no but you didn’t say yes i’m here for you. if you wanted to stop but you didn’t know how to say it i’m here for you. if it was consensual and then it wasn’t i’m here for you. if it was uncomfortable or if it hurt or if it wasn’t what you wanted i’m here for you. if you spent the whole time waiting for it to be over i’m here for you. if you are scared or afraid of being intimate with someone i am here for you. if you feel anxiety and shame towards sex when the rest of society seems to be absolutely obsessed with it i’m here for you. there is nothing wrong with you and everything you are feeling is valid. i’m here for you.

Six Things To Remember

celestialprint:

1) You are allowed to take up space. You are human.

2) You are allowed to have a voice.

3) You are allowed to leave whenever you feel uncomfortable or unsafe

4) You deserve more than someone who doesn’t know how to respect you.

5) You are allowed to put your own needs first.

6) You are allowed to love yourself.

Mr. Gaiman, how can I get past the self-loathing I feel whenever I read something that I have written?

neil-gaiman:

Write more. And remember that everyone who writes anything good wrote a lot of bad stuff first. You are learning, be kind to yourself, just as you would be kind to anyone learning to do something hard, like juggling or ballroom dancing or surgery. Learn from your mistakes, and get better, and one day you’ll write something you won’t loathe.

(Also, it’s fine to dislike something you’ve written. But don’t dislike yourself for having made it.)

mothersushi:

do NOT wait to look a certain way before you enjoy something. do not hold yourself back from what you know could make you happy. you are every bit as deserving right. now.
