Sam Dylan Finch. I’m a writer and positive psychology practitioner that’s passionate about queer joy — with none of the self-helpy bullsh*t. I wrote that thing about people-pleasing that you showed your therapist. I’m much weirder in real life.  ✨ He/they. More?

Almost daily, I get messages like these. Asking me if life with a mental illness will always be this hard. I don’t know your story — but I can tell you mine.
Sometimes when we're procrastinating, we're too busy beating ourselves up to remember why we care about what we're doing. If you're stuck and lacking motivation, try walking yourself through these questions. 👇🏻
Pausing our usual programming because I couldn’t not share this. Please enjoy this photo of Cannoli getting the best scritches of his life. 🥰
I restarted testosterone this week, and I want to talk about it. 🏳️‍⚧️
