Strange, isn't it? To love a book. When the words on the pages become so precious that they feel like part of your own history because they are.

Just wanted to share something in a space where no one really pays attention because I wanted to SCREAM IT but also didn’t want to seem like I’m just looking for attention 😬
But, YESTERDAY was the 5-year anniversary of when my husband and I started dating.
It’s a HUGE DEAL for me because he is officially my longest relationship.
Before him, it was almost 5 years with my abusive ex. My longest relationship had always been my most volatile. Screaming, threatening to kill himself, telling me everyone would be happier if I just died, so much physical abuse I still flinch if someone moves toward me too fast.
But in all this time with my now-husband, I’ve healed so much. I know I’m not all the way there yet, and I don’t know how long it’ll take. But I’m SO MUCH happier. I can communicate. I don’t feel like I need to run away at a small disagreement. We don’t yell, we don’t argue, we talk things out with respect and love, always trying to solve the ‘problem’ and never a MEvsHIM situation.
I love my life. I love him. I still sometimes can’t believe he’s actually “dealt” with me for so long, but I’ve gotten better at telling myself he hasn’t “dealt” with me and I’m not a nuisance to love like I used to think I was.
If anyone reads this, and just so happens to be in a bad relationship, or healing from, it does get better. And I say that as someone who used to HATE when people said that to me. Because I truly didn’t think it could. But it DOES. It really fucking does. 🥹
Apparently when my husband asks me to play with his dick, tapping his balls and then twisting it really fast and saying “Bop it. Twist it” wasn’t what he meant 💀🤣
I’m grounded now💀🤣😂😭
Violet is so relatable tbh

I’ve been with Mike for nearly 8 months now.
Doing some thinking...there are so many differences between this relationship and with my daughter’s dad..all of them GOOD.
Every birthday I had with my ex, he made me cry. I never got through one without fighting about something.
With Mike, I did cry on my birthday (my dad never wished me a happy bday and it ate at me all day), but he held me on the couch and let me cry all over him while he just rubbed my back and my hair.
By now, my ex and I had fought COUNTLESS times. Full on screaming matches. I’ve NEVER liked fighting. He used to sit there and scream at me while I laid there and cried, until I started yelling back (took over a year tho)
Mike and I have never fought. Not once. He’s never even been frustrated with me. Other than when idk what I want for dinner 🤣
My ex always told me he’d be the only one who could ever love me. He’d tell me that I’m so fat, ugly, annoying that no one else would ever put up with me.
Mike always tells me how amazing I am and how he knows I could find someone better (there IS NO ONE BETTER FOR ME. IM KEEPING HIM FOREVER) and he doesn’t want to lose me. He always makes me feel LOVED.
My ex used to make me “earn” things. If I wanted something (even SIMPLE. LIKE LEAVING THE HOUSE (I didn’t drive)) he’d make me make a list. And he’d make me stick to it. Lists would usually include items such as “5 blow jobs whenever you want. One 30 min back massage. I’ll do all the cleaning for a week” like that shit killed me. But at the time it weirdly felt normal?
Mike is so good to me. He’s never made me exchange anything. If I want/need something he does it if he can. He likes seeing me happy 😭 hell he’ll do things just because. With no expectations. He’ll plan things to do so we’re not stuck inside. And when we are stuck inside, I don’t care. I can lay with him all day, and not feel like I wasted a day.
I’ve always suffered from anxiety/depression..for as long as I can remember. My ex used to say I was being a baby. If I was upset over something (or even over nothing, as depression can do to you), he’d tell me to get my shit together and stop being a baby. He’d always make me feel like shit. I’d always eventually cry, and he’d always tell me to “stop blubbering” and that I sound like a whale. Which OF COURSE always made me feel worse. I was NEVER happy with him.
I’ve had a few depression episodes with Mike. Every time, I’ve tried to hold it in and hide it. It never works. Every time Mike just holds me, rubs my back, talks to me and calms me down until I can talk about it. And he’ll sit there and just LISTEN through all my squirrel-brain back-and-forth until I get it all out. He’d never judged me or made me feel bad for it. He’s only ever been supportive and told me I can always come to him when I’m down.
My ex used to always make me massage him. Sometimes I’d be doing it for HOURS while he just gamed or watched tv. He’d always tell me he “earned” it. But if I ever wanted a massage? Even WHILE PREGNANT...nope. He never gave me one. Not ever. I hadn’t “earned” one.
Mike massages me all the time. I have back problems. My back has been killing me lately...mike was always rub me down with biofreeze until I feel better ❤️
So so many differences ❤️
It’s so weird getting used to being treated the right way 🥰
So we’ve been together for 5 years now, in a couple weeks.
We got married in August.
I still sometimes cannot believe how lucky I am. I have an amazing husband who does anything he can to make me happy. We make each other laugh, are always there for each other. We still never fight.
I never thought I’d find someone who actually hated arguing as much as me. We are both completely committed to always talking it out and solving the problem instead of just getting angry and screaming. My ex and mother always yelled when there was a miscommunication so I never thought I’d find someone who didn’t respond that way.
So beyond grateful I have a true partner. 🥰
We own our own house together, multiple cars, both have solid good jobs.
I’m even able to read again!! I’ve been reading every day since September and it feels AMAZING. I’ve finished 32 books since then, most recently being ACOTAR series and Fourth Wing series. I’ve been gaming more again (when I’m not reading lol)
Genuinely depressed after finishing Iron Flame.
Already read ACOTAR and trying to get into Throne Of Glass to occupy myself but I just keep reading fan theories about the 3rd Empyrean book instead 💀
This is the worst case of ‘book hangover’ I’ve ever had😭
Plz send help 😭
A little old lady came into my work wearing a black t-shirt that looked like just kids playing at the park but one is tied to a carousel shaped like a pentagram and said “Let’s Summon Demons”
Long story short- I’ve decided I’m adopting her as my new grandma.
My morning today.
Grateful to have a job where I can bring my laptop 🥹
One of the coolest dudes I’ve ever seen 🥺
I need it to really sink in that between the dog and the very young human, both of them are experiencing a kind of joy and delight they literally did not know was even possible before this.
That baby is very young and the dog has no instincts about the springy rubbery environments its ancestors didn’t encounter because they don’t exist. How rare is it, how splendid, to watch two souls on this Earth, so different and yet so alike in their joint delight over a source of joy that they’ve never experienced before
So freaking cute
Love these new sword earrings 🥹
What’s everyone up to
I got married on the 19th.
My friends caught a pic of me chilling nerves, smokin a J and FaceTiming my brother before we left for the venue 🤣💚
Felt like a dark princess on our wedding day 🖤🥰 could not have been a more perfect day.
I love you 🖤
Got married on the 19th.
It’s insane how many things seemed to click in my brain overnight. I used to be so afraid of opening up. I always wondered why my husband had proposed. Always worried he’d get cold feet and leave. Had trouble when he wanted to send me money. And way more.
But now? It’s like overnight it hit me that this man MARRIED me!! This man wants to grow old with me. Wake up to me every day. Now all of my old worries and concerns feel so insignificant and I can’t remember why I felt so worried.
I feel loved, safe, happy. I’m MARRIED to the love of my life y’all 🥰
