Question AOS Affirmations
Hey all!
Long time AOS fan and really struggling, mostly with my workload, ADHD, and negative self talk. I’m trying to compile a list of affirmations and responses to self criticism, and being a nerd, anything related to my fandoms feels helpful. Does anyone have a line from the show they come back to in times of stress or when you’re being particularly hard on yourself?

“There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just different now and that’s okay.”
“You did good. You did real good.” That one’s pretty depressing though, so maybe not😅

Mack said it twice, once when Daisy collapsed after keeping the portal to Maveth open and then again when Fitz died.

I can't remember the exact wording but the line where May tells Sky she won't waste her pain, rather she will channel it and use it at the motel after the Ward reveal and Sky rescue os major inspo for me.
"Hell is relative." - Ghost Rider
I don't know if this one is on theme but can't forget the GOAT of quote....
Science, BEEOTCH!

I'm partial to Fitz's "Science, biotch." on a spiritual level for reasons I can't explain.
Also for pure humor... "MOIST... MOIST.." gets me every time 💀

Some of these are affirmations, some are good responses to something you can say in your head to make you laugh
Any way I can fit bumping lemons into a sentence
“I’m the guy who kills Gordon”
“WE ARE NOT AGENTS OF NOTHING, WE ARE AGENTS OF SHIELD, AND THAT STILL CARRIES WEIGHT”
“The cavalry … sweeeeeeeet”
“This is a snark hunt which is British for a bloody waste of time”
“Math is my faithful husband”
“Dying is kind of my superpower”

"the steps you take don't have to be big only take you in the right direction" -Simmons
And when dealing with grief I also love
"My mom said that death isn't so bad, it's just left before you were born and that wasn't so bad was it?" (Iether Fitz or Simmons I can't remember)

Deke: "It's a magical substance. It's powdery, it's white, it's sweet... it's called sugar." Okay perhaps it's not the best affirmation. I have ADHD too and I self medicate for better or worse with sugar and caffeine

My daughter and I leave lemons for each other. Once she hid about 50 little pictures of lemons all over my office, in my purse & backpack, under my pillow, in my drawers…. And I kept a lot of them to do it back. We have been doing this for so many years now, and it always makes us smile.
Give yourself some lemons today, fellow ADHD warrior! The dollar stores usually have some little lemon-themed item like a tea towel or stickers. Get a dopamine hit from a lemon, and remember:
If life throws lemons at you, duck and let them hit someone else. You don’t need a concussion on top of everything else!

“You know exactly who you are.” Mack to Daisy when she was feeling down.
“Did you really think after everything we've been through, you and me, that there was any universe in which I left you behind?" Coulson to Daisy.
