The purpose of this blog will *always* be to maintain a judge-free space to explore and grow. I will promote neutrality toward activities which often go unexplored or receive negative attention.

I do not hold a negative view for any of these topics, some of which are totally normal but might otherwise face discrimination or stigma by widely held views of society. Instead, what I promote here are coping mechanisms that optimize growth. Basic Distress Tolerance Skills
