If you've ever caught one of my personal posts on here before I deleted them out of embarrassment, and reached out to check on me, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've been weird, my relationship has been weird, my whole life has been weird.

But guess what?

I fucking did it. I finally left my relationship that, to be honest, I didn't feel okay about for a really long time. This past week, and especially the past 72 hours, has felt like a month. I am physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I am heartbroken, upset, distressed, relieved, happy, angry, shocked, hopeful, embarrassed, grief-stricken, and ashamed.

I was with this person for 10 years. I gave up my career and spent 9 years living very far away from my family to be with him.

Lessons learned: When in doubt, throw it out. Actions really do speak louder than words.

The celebrity Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavors being some of the best ones is like the retail equivalent of having to go to a restaurant and order a rootin tootin yeehaw cowboy burger or something

parasitoidism

The Tonight Dough is a downright hedonistic ice cream flavor concept but in order to obtain it you have to purchase a pint of ice cream with Jimmy Fallon's face on it and then see him in your freezer every day for a week

it still comes as a surprise that closeness cannot be achieved from a safe distance

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up.

I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.

This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
