Welcome, fellow avoiders. Let me start by saying this: Avoidance gets a bad rap.
People act like it's laziness in a trench coat, sneaking around productivity like a suspicious raccoon. But I say—why sprint into chaos when you can sidestep with flair?

Pep Talk from Tariq (Certified Chaos Magnet, Shadow Strategist, Big Brother with Opinions):

Here’s the deal: you’re allowed to have awful days.
Days where the best you can do is show up looking like a chaos gremlin with unbrushed hair and survival-level vibes.
You’re allowed to be mad, tired, lost, petty, unproductive, or one dropped pen away from losing it entirely.
You don’t have to be a hero today.

You just have to hold the line.

Pep Talk from Grannis (Resident Soft Threat, Quilter of Confidence): That doubt in your head needs to hush up.

A Pep Talk from Marge (Certified Reaper, Anxiety Wrestler, Blanket Burrito Champion):
for days when anxiety is taking over.

A pep talk for when you feel more invisible than a skull someone turned into a door stop

A pep talk from Tariq.

Okay. Whoa. You’re freaking out. That’s fair.

You’re standing knee-deep in doom soup, the sky’s doing that weird flickery thing again, and you probably just found out your name popped up on Lady Death’s list. I get it. I've been there. Twice before breakfast. I am a reaper after all.

But hey—breathe. You’re not toast yet.
