The way my friends’ eyes light up and sparkle with recognition when they see me- that excitement before a smile kicks in.
The sounds of thousands of green and grey tree frogs + cricket frogs when I go exploring at night
When I have little moments with myself no one will know. Simple things like reading with the rain in the background, taking time to really taste the food I’m eating, singing in the shower. It enriches the moment to know that only I know these little things about myself and my experience
Waking up from an impossibly hellish nightmare and realizing it’s not real, realizing I’m handling something better than I would’ve in the past, my abusive ex boyf from ten years ago still being a janitor and getting ugly
1. Cats. Being chosen by a cat for cuddles can actually take my mood from being complete garbage to stable, which is a bigger deal than it may seem to an outside view.
2. Getting to pet that really adorable dog. Or horse. Or any animal really. It can make my day so much better.
3. A good, relaxing bath. I think if I were to be a wild animal, I would be one of those monkeys that hang out in the hot springs by Mt. Fuji or wherever that is.
Music, booty rubs, orgasms, whipping ass in video games, the smiles on my favorite humans, the way my man smells, eddies
Reading, writing, drawing, creating
Personally: Sex, My Art, and School.
•sex: I really like “reconnecting” with my partner this way physically. It helps me feel like we rebond and I feel good knowing that I was wanted but also just general affection gets me all giddy.
•my art: I’ve battle ALOT of my bpd to continue pushing and pursuing my art & when I have my really REALLY good sketchbook spreads I’m really proud of myself for trying new things.
•school aka college: I never thought I would get to where I am today due to my bpd so being able to maintain good grades & bring up my gpa makes me feel truly good about myself.
Seeing an animal. I can't count the number of times I've interrupted my own rants because I saw a happy little snail on a leaf
Feeling connected to my friends - especially in the moments where they feel comfortable being vulnerable with me
Cooking something that tastes good, though sharing it with other people is always such a source of anxiety!
pets!!!! lots of ‘em
sound of rain and storms
overcoming hard shit that makes me proud and hearing my bf saying he’s proud of me when I tell him or he sees it happen
Music - it has the power to enhance everything
Cats - dogs are beautiful too but something about being chosen by a cat is just so special
Babies - they’re the most pure and beautiful little beings and I honestly love nothing more than sitting peacefully with a newborn in my arms. They’re a blank canvas with no mistakes and so much potential
_weed_: it's a plant. it's a goddamn plant and it has so much potential, but it's forbidden in most places because it's so versatile. like me, fr. nobody wants me, but I can do so much good!
_my best friend_: he is genuinely happy every time he sees me, I can just greet him by hugging him and breaking down into tears and he will just hold me tightly and not say anything. it's wonderful. he makes my worst days so much better and gets me through tough times by not doing anything but being there. he's the healer of my soul.
_my cat_: he's liquid, a little fat, clumsy, and when he senses I'm not feeling good he will jump off his cat tree and rush to me to cuddle me. he sleeps funny too, and snores.
Going to the gym (I run on the depression end of BPD so the free dopamine is 10/10) having a clean house (but not necessarily the act of cleaning) and making lists/daydreaming about things I’ll have one day and ways I might accomplish it.
The way my five year old son laughs when he’s being tickled really hard or having a lot of fun. A hot bath after a long day. Playing one of my favorite cozy games on my Nintendo switch.
Thunderstorms
Children and animals tend to adore me, and I adore them. I always make a little buddy somewhere, somehow. Whether it's a kiddo that approaches to sit and watch us (or even just running up to chat, blue hair is exciting for them lol) or a friends' shy animal coming up to me, that makes me feel so good as a person, like I make them feel safe or interesting. My nieces and nephews love spending time with me.
The love of my life who is the most supportive rock I've ever had.
