The next tier up are safety and security needs- employment (money), stability, property, health. The third tier is love and belonging- friendship, family, connection. Cont in comments

Be you! Be a lot! Be a whole lot!
Cream background with text that says She's a lot. You're right, I'm a lot. With a lot of layers, a lot of personality. A lot of dreams, a lot of ideas. A lot of strategies, a lot of emotions. A lot of love. So yeah, I am a lot. School of Life

Who else suffers from #insomnia? Do you get #racingthoughts? How do you #cope with it?
Comic of a person laying in bed, struggling to sleep and looking tired. There is a thought bubble over their head with the words, Nobody: Me at 2am: I need to sell all my shit and move to the forest.

You cannot change others people's actions. You can only change your reactions. Set #boundaries. Stick to them. Build #healthyrelationships.
Peach background with text that says... I think so often, what people misunderstand about boundaries is that the point of setting them is not to change other peoples behavior to convince them to value different things - it's to advocate for yourself, regardless of how they respond. Daniell Koepke

Why pick?
Post that says "Are you a top or a bottom?" I'm bi, nonbinary, and polyamorous. I've never made a single decision in my entire life, and I'm not about to start now.
