randomly I really dislike the motivational idea of "make every day count". I mean it's fine if that's what works for you but for me
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
it just feels like unnecessary stress
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
like oh you only die once better not have any bad days
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
or don't waste time being gloomy or sad or despairing
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
or whatever
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
Like there's something to be said for being grateful for small things even in the worst times but
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
why should every day have to count in order for you to reach /waves hand/ whatever

i agree
hanabami.
to me it ties in to the colonizer need for Productivity thats pushed so hard and its so hard to remember that its can be okay and definitely is necessary to relax and take things slower and to be gentle with yourself
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
yeah
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and like even if it's not intended it feels like to me it's saying
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
if you have a bad day and don't make it count you're actually a bad person and are Missing Out
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
Like also the same thing of: You need to make Every Single Time with your Family Member Super Valuable
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
but like
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
some days you just can't man
serpentcyborg
It stresses me out, too

Like 'oh no, I just spent this Saturday doing nothing productive!' and then I feel all depressed about it
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
yeah
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and you can't even say like relaxing is productive
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
I mean you could put a spin on it but that sort of negates the relaxing aspect
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
and then it can even get like well I've done one productive thing, but what about a second? or a third
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
so yeah
papermint tiger
Yeah you have a good point here
papermint tiger
And while I am tempted to say 'relaxing counts' that does... Sort of make relaxing into work lmao
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
yeah XD
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
because it's like
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
I'm relaxing! so I can be productive later
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
but it's hard to get out of that mindset
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
because it's like an excuse
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
but you should be able to just relax cuz you want to
๐ฏ๐๐ฆ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ด ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐๐ ๐ฆ~
(you very generally speaking)
papermint tiger
This is reminding me that I need to do laundry, somehow
