sylvia plath quotes for the signs:

smallestlight:

aries: “i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. or i can go mad by ricocheting in between.” 

taurus: “the floor seemed wonderfully solid. it was comforting to know i had fallen and could fall no farther.”  

gemini: “i want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. and i am horribly limited.”

cancer: “perhaps some day i’ll crawl back home, beaten and defeated. but not as long as i can make stories out of my heartbreak; beauty out of sorrow.”

leo: “i want to taste and glory in each day; to never be afraid to experience pain, to never shut myself up in a numb core of non-feeling, or to stop questioning and criticizing life and take the easy way out.”

virgo: “what horrfies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.” 

libra: “i felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery – air, mountains, trees, people. i thought, ‘this is what it is to be happy.’” 

scorpio: “if the moon smiled, she would resemble you. you leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating.”  

sagittarius: “i wanted change and excitement and to shoot off into all directions myself, like the colored arrows of a fourth of july rocket.”

capricorn: “i took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart: i am, i am, i am.”

aquarius: “i shut my eyes and all the world drops dead. i lift my lids and all is born again.” 

pisces: “here i am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. i remember what this flesh has gone through; i dream of what it may go through.” 

lmaonade:

wow i sure hope *starts smacking my neck* THERES NO VAMPIRES AROUND. *slaps my neck really really hard* i HOPE there’s NO vampires who might want to BITE ME and suck my blood right here from my *i am smacking so godforsakenly hard* NECK

Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.

It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.

hojabby:

My family are farmers from my mothers side and when I was a kid my gradmother said something along the lines of “If you can grow anything you have a pure heart, plants feed off your soul as much as they feed off the earth. Be kind of them , they pray to god” she told me this while taking off the spikes of cactus pears. Now I buy dying plants from the hardware store on Clarence and easily bring them back to life, everytime I doubt my heart I bring home hoards of plants to bring back to life as if it’s a test of the purity of my soul.
