One of the hardest parts of solving an internal problem that feels impossible or buried deep inside is starting with what, externally, you refuse to consider.

A consistent pattern I see in responses to mental health advice is people focusing on how it doesn’t specifically apply to them. It’s easy to miss the ego in how we frame our struggles, and easier to defend the problem than to consider it.

Mental illness explains why things feel and happen the way they do. It doesn't erase accountability, but accountability isn't about blame. It's about keeping your power to change.

A lot of therapy is realizing how irritatingly true it is that everything somehow circles back to your parents.

A lot of negative media talk bounces between critiquing the work and critiquing the audience, whichever feels easier in the moment. But “overrated” and “underrated” aren’t criticisms of the work, they’re just reactions to its reception.

I think a lot of us overlook how much our internal voice spills out when we talk about media and how much the types of media we’re drawn to reflect it.

Sometimes we hold onto the idea that something out there will perfectly capture how we feel. Instead of facing the harder truth, which is that we are capable of naming it ourselves.

A common mistake I see is not defining the conditions you believe are necessary for "happiness", and not questioning them.

Not to sound dramatic, but being introduced to schema therapy has impacted my understanding of mental health more than anything else I have explored. Talk therapy was essential for getting me there, but I recommend staying open to different strategies.

Sometimes we put too much faith in our idea of good communication, thinking it will change an unhealthy relationship. In reality, it can hand the other person the blueprint for avoidance. Good communication is valuable, but adapting it to the relationship is what makes it work.

A core thing people who mistreat you often rely on is you forgetting that no reply is still a reply. They do not need every detail of the story to take accountability in conflict, though they may encourage you to believe otherwise.

A lot of people with damaged egos do not treat consistency or honesty as priorities, because protecting their ego feels vital to them. This is why every form of interaction with them can feel like "losing".

Something that is always disheartening to me is how people rarely poke holes in pessimistic outlooks the way they do optimistic ones. Pessimism and realism are not the same. Naivety and optimism are not the same.

RIP cinephile, your family never understood you 😭
