Do you remember in the early 2000s when they invented pads you could wear with thongs? Y'know, everyone's favorite period underwear: the thong.

And how at the same time almost all pants marketed to women were low-rise and fashion magazines and media really pushed the idea that it was hot if you could see your underwear above the waist of your jeans, as long as that underwear was a thong?

Because I just did and was filled with such nostalgic rage at 1am that I had to yell about it somewhere, and now here we are.

Fucking... Thong shaped maxipads.

Honestly it boils down to reparenting yourself & rewiring your own neuronal pathways & telling yourself a firm “stop” when you notice your mind slipping down negative loopholes & being present in the moment & enjoying being mid task rather than waiting for it to end & not thinking of inertia as your baseline and natural way of living

So tempting to keep embarking on the same self destructive cycle over & over & over again . But at some point you have to put ur foot down w ur own behaviors & be the thing that truly saves u

Sometimes, Toddler Protocol is the only way through.

You gotta talk to yourself like you're explaining things to a small child (it's you, the small child is you) who requires patience, because you never learned the right way to take care of you.

You deserve the patience and kindness, and you deserve to get out of the cycle of self sabotage.

But cruelty isn't a good teacher, so be nice while you're reparenting yourself.

I think it's so important to be able to find joy in simple, day to day things. Not just in a "romanticize the ordinary" way, even though that's also important to do and to cultivate -- your day out running errands can be an adventure; that really good cup of coffee deserves to be celebrated by intentionally enjoying it, perhaps while gazing dreamily out the window; light candles and play your favorite music when you take a bath, or read a book; being able to see our speak to your loved ones and be together is beautiful and should be celebrated -- but also in a "the ordinary is often beautiful" way.

A stranger telling you they like your glasses, a really well made latte, sunset as seen from the grocery store parking lot, a couple walking while holding hands, making someone laugh, trees reflected on water, a bird playing in a puddle, the moon on a clear night, an old table that's worn in ways that tell a story about how it's been used, a friends face when they're happy including all the little imperfections that make them real... All beautiful things that we see in our everyday lives that are truly worthy of a moment of appreciation that we rarely give them.

You gotta find reasons to be a little in love with the world around you. It's good for you.

I am of several minds here.

The obvious answer is gandalf, it really has to be him, from a narrative standpoint.

Aragon is the second obvious choice, and would definitely work splendidly.

However, for comedy reasons, I think Gimli would be just incredible.

I feel like Gollum is the true answer here.

#how could this not have even occurred to me?#i was so caught up in the idea of gimli/jrd playing against muppets that i forgot gollum existed!#lotr
