i'm struggling to express my horror here without being mean to the OP i don't know who needs to hear this but: please consider the possibility that relating to yourself primarily as a tool for "work" is inevitably going to cause burnout no matter how good you get at self-care

broke: hustle culture, work hella hard woke: self-care culture, take care of myself so i can work bespoke: take care of myself because i'm a human and i matter

this has been a theme of my thoughts lately, how lots of advice is about improving coping mechanisms in a way that delays crisis, and how this isn't obviously good in the long run kinda think people would be better off having crises as quickly as they have the resources for

@utotranslucence said once that she didn't trust anybody who hadn't gone through at least 3 crises and i think there's a lot to that, especially in the choice of 3 specifically after your 1st or 2nd crisis you might think you're done but after #3 you're like "oh. i see."Show this thread

i should clarify that bespoke is not the last step here, it's the 3rd step in a progression that's, i dunno, at least 3 more steps long or something this is why the galaxy brain meme format is so important
