It's difficult when one of your trigger words/frase is a popular one. When you're in a group of people and all start saying the trigger in a domino effect, it gets that much worse. You grin and bear it because trauma dumping about what they are unknowingly doing to you would ruin the whole day...

Healing from trauma looks like repeating "Don't break the love of your life" as u only use 25% of ur strength in a tickle fight because using more triggers ur "fight for ur life" after actually having to fight for ur life several times before u met him & u learned how to break bones the hard way...

Watching him tame dinos on Ark is so much fun lol. The way he talks to the ones that are passive tames like they can hear him..... Oh my heart 🥰

I saw a tiktok calling arthritis "early onset rigor mortis" and that's what I'm using to refer to my rheumatoid arthritis from now on! Hahahaha

My bf and I have started playing Torn (browser based game) and decided to get married in said game. It requires us to write vows. He's emotionally intelligent, but doesn't always voice his deeper feelings. What he wrote means so much to me. I saved it for my self doubt days 💜

Listening to my 56yr old bf listening to Brittany Spears music while he cooks brings me a level of joy I don't have the proper words for 💚🧡💜

Witchy friends!!! I'm so excited!!! I ordered these from www.lunacharlotteart.com via Kickstarter 3yrs ago and they came in today! I've had them in my lap all morning. I feel like I've reunited with an old friend that I haven't seen in a whole lifetime 💚🧡💜

My nervous system can't handle all this anger and hate... People of a group being/doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of the teachings they supposedly follow and attacking those who ARE following those teachings... It hurts so much, I'm so sick of crying...

That moment when one's PTSD collides with their pmdd/PMS.... My night terrors get exponentially worse. My insecurities rear up almost uncontrollably, and I'm ready to fistfight God because of all the darkness and cruelty in the world...

I'm so blessed to have a safe partner to draw calmness from...

Being true & honest, not only to myself, but with myself, is the continuous goal. It's not always happy here. Sometimes it will be dark for long periods of time. Those times will ultimately pass and happiness returns again. I'm still healing from some very bad things that happened to me, I'll be ok.
