Lived through a whole bunch of freaky ass tornado warnings, so that was a high stress way to end the night.

jezzball asked:

hi landlady, have you ever thought of making mr j a little frilly collar like this? I think it would be very dashing and some cats don’t seem to mind…

straycatj answered:

the pragmatic view of love honestly makes me so emotional

[sawasawako]

like what do you MEAN it’s up to us to create and nurture the relationships we want to have with people? what do you MEAN loving others and caring for others and being kind to them is a choice that we have to make every single day, in each moment? what do you MEAN we are the makers and sculptors and artists and architects of our own interpersonal relationships? i’m losing my mind!!

[sawasawako]

it really demystifies the whole affair. once you realise that love and thriving relationships don’t just drop from the sky or appear out of thin air, once you realise that it isn’t miraculous or due to “fate” or design, that it’s really just the choices that we make and the beliefs and values that we hold, everything becomes clear. you don’t just sit around and wait for things to change, or passively wish them to be different, clinging onto the idea that since it’s mystical, you’re not entirely responsible for shaping it. but you are. and that’s scary, but it’s also, like, the only thing that really matters at the end of the day?? i cannot

I’m not going to lie, when I first realised just how much of my thought process is comprised of these kinds of thoughts, I started panicking. I was labelling myself (as ‘pathetic’/‘stupid’/‘bloody miserable’); overgeneralising (‘ohmygod this is my entire internal monologue summarised in ten boxes’) and generally all-or-nothing-ing/mind-reading/catastrophising (‘I’ll never be happy, everyone will hate me for being so negative and I’ll die sad and alone without even a cat for company’).

The thing is, experiencing negative or unhelpful thoughts at least some of the time is unfortunately pretty much part of being human. Our brains have evolved to be highly conscious of threats (real or perceived) and, as highly social primates, we sometimes can’t help but try and predict what others are thinking about us. But although we don’t like to admit it, these automatic thoughts are often either completely wrong or highly exaggerated. And yet, even if deep down we realise this, they can still send us into a state of stress if we don’t consciously try to counterbalance them. 

The trick is to start noticing when your brain is throwing this stuff at you, try to consciously acknowledge it and begin to challenge the thoughts. Do not judge yourself for them - no one actively chooses to think this way, it just happens. We can however try to focus on countering these automatic assumptions with more positive/rational thoughts:

• How can I know what someone else is thinking about me?
  However much I would like to be able to, I can’t.
• I’m not 'weak’/'pathetic’/'useless’ - I’m only human and sometimes I need to cry/sleep/rely on others’ help. 
• Am I really 'a totally idiotic moron’ or did I just make a mistake? Are the consequences of this really as bad as I feel they are?
• Would I verbally abuse someone else the way I attack myself in my head? Almost certainly not.

Actively arguing against these unhelpful thoughts takes a fair bit of practice, but it absolutely can be done and it gets easier each time. Just take a deep breath, be rational and above all be kind with yourself. You can do it.
