I open this webbed site and every time I am informed that a new calamity has befallen my boyfriend. I keep entrusting you guys with his care and what do you do? You put him in the instant pot with a 1:1 water ratio, press the rice button and cook him until he's fragrant and fluffy

The worst form of pseudo-philosophy is shit like "everything in reality is either Chaos or Order," "everything in reality is either Masculine or Feminine," "everything in reality is either Dark or Light" like dude you haven't discovered some deep truth about the universe you've literally just discovered Adjectives. I can say everything in reality is either Heavy or Light depending on whether I can lift it over my head but that doesn't give you any profound fuckin insight I'm just describing shit and yes this is about jordan peterson

A family of cheetahs sleep with the forest guard every night. When the Forest Dept. heard about it, they decided to check the veracity of the claim by installing a CCTV camera. This is what the camera recorded! Just amazing.

We’re squeaking tonight

I started reading a book about shame recently and it's kind of blown my mind a bit.

I'm trying to read it in chunks because it's a lot to process but one of the first things it made me think about was how many things that have been done to me about which I told nobody. Like I do think that it was okay that not everyone needed (or still needs) to know. But I was thinking and thinking and I realised that a large part of my silence was also shame that I let those things happen. And the shame of being known for those traumas having happened to me.

I wrote this really long letter and was the most honest I have ever been with myself and I'm so proud of myself for that.

I wanted it all to be acknowledged for what it was. Not like a therapy session or trauma dumping on someone who didn't have ears but like I just wanted a real human being to see it and say "yeah that's really bad I'm sorry you went through it"

Post secrets is so wonderful but the format was too small because I really needed the full story out in the open. Reddit felt so impersonal and it felt like the format didn't match the ritual of the letter. I did find a couple of anonymous letter sites but they were full of love letters and it felt like what I had to say was just not the right vibe at all.

So I made my own website for it ...

I hope this finds someone who would also find catharsis in having their story heard. I would love to create a space to be able to share in a joint experience of shame and know that I'm not alone in my feelings and that my healing process is shared with others.

The book is My Body Keeps Your Secrets by the way. I've not finished it yet but I'm obsessed.
