sometimes creation is just trying to impress

after a lifetime of hearing about aragorn but not reading the books or watching the movies, genuinely nothing could have prepared me for his actual introduction. the hobbits picked this man out of a dumpster. he is a textbook softspoken angst prince and he is covered in dirt and he probably smells so bad. he’s the coolest man alive and is so casual about it. his number one skill is Knowing Where They Are and his number two skill is Having A Horrible Destiny That Torments Him. tolkien got it in one i’m afraid aragorn son of arathorn you are the guy of all time

i have suffered less than christ but have complained way more abt it

new atheists deride religion as “primitive superstition” but when you hear their take on what religion is it’s clear they have the shallowest concept of it

I had to wait a whole year to post this 😂

So I stopped saying the “r” word a while ago because I learned that it was considered highly offensive

And I 100% support that criticism, I’m wrong to have used it, and I’m trying to never use it again.

And I’d like the same societal shift to be afforded to OCD. Both because OCD is actually debilitating, so using it in a wrong way to make a joke or personality statement about yourself is insulting, AND because it perpetuates a lie that keeps people undiagnosed and without help.

If all people ever hear about OCD is “Haha that painting on the wall being crooked bothers me, that’s my OCD showing”

They will associate OCD with perfectionism and cleanliness, etc. and put OCD in a box. They will hear someone say “Haha I’m so OCD” at work and then go home at the end of the day and spend 5 hours researching symptoms of stomach cancer because they have a slight pain in their abdomen. Suffering from OCD but not realizing they have it because it bears no resemblance to what the other person just described as OCD.

“OCD? No, I can’t possibly have that. OCD is just like, wanting things straight on the wall.”

Bam. Another few years or decades of no diagnosis because of misinformation and misrepresentation.

I went undiagnosed for 7 years (and honestly longer, those 7 years were the worst though) largely because of the OCD myth that’s perpetuated. And I was one of the lucky ones who actually caught it rather early.

Using OCD in the wrong contexts (I.e., anything outside talking about the actual medical condition with accurate facts) isn’t just offensive, it is also something that keeps people from realizing they have OCD.

And therefore keeps them from getting help.

Unfortunately the worst part about this all is that the people who say “Lol that’s my OCD showing” or “I’m so OCD” genuinely do think they have OCD. Because they think that’s all it is.

That’s the equivalent of me thinking I have an eating disorder because occasionally I forget to make myself lunch. That is how ridiculous and misinformed it is.

Meanwhile people with REAL OCD are out there drowning in life under the weight of compulsions they can’t make themselves stop doing. Under their worst fears. Fearing waking up in the morning to more OCD.

drake?

atheists will post gotcha memes about “the guy who shot you repented and is now in heaven don’t you want to say hi?” as if the knowledge of a person who wronged you in the most heinous way imaginable being lifted up to sainthood by the grace of God isnt the most incredible thing conceivable to the Christian mind

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”-Genesis 3:15 KJV

Even as far back as the book of Genesis, God revealed His plan of salvation for mankind. That even though the devil (the serpent) would decieve and manipulate to bring sin into the world, and have Christ crucified (bruise His heal), it would all be in vain! Christ would arise the third day, defeating death and the devil! (bruise his head)

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."

Reminder that spring will always come back, music will never stop being created, and there are still so many books left to read! You’re alive! You’re alive! You’re alive!

"When God planned your life, He already took your stupidity into account."

“no matter how badly you think you’re doing it, someone else has done it a lot worse and been fine” is applicable to a wide, wide range of things and i say it to myself all the time

If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
