7 Ways People Who Have Been Emotionally Abused Love Differently

[wordsnquotes]

After being emotionally abused, it is difficult to open up freely to others and especially your next lover. You find yourself keeping your distance from people as a coping mechanism, but this has not affected your quality of love. You are tender and extremely empathetic and your experience has taught you to guard your heart from now on.

Bonding With Each Element

Earth

Taking a walk in a park or forest

Planting

Picking flowers (though, not from other people’s gardens, of course)

Grounding, meditating, etc.

-The key is to surround yourself with nature, whether it be sounds of nature, or even getting into kitchen magic, which will involve herbs.

Air

Taking a stroll on a breezy day

Sitting in front of a fan (as an alternative to the above)

Anything creative (Dancing, singing, etc)

Divination (Smoke of an incense, crystal ball, taro/cartomancy, etc)

-The wind element is about expressing and realizing your creativity and talent. By doing this, you are bonding with the element.

Fire

Meditation with a lit candle

Drinking a cup of freshly brewed hot tea or coffee (don’t burn your mouth, now)

Activity that involves breaking a sweat (exercise, etc)

-Fire is about passion and anger, whether releasing that anger so it does not build up inside of you, or invoking a passion you have for something. This intensity will help you bond with the element.

Water

Taking a long shower or bath

Making Sun or Moon Water

Collecting Rain/Snow/Storm/Sea Water

Dream Magick: making peaceful sleep satchets, etc

-Water is about purification, love, and psychic awareness. Cleansing yourself daily, charging water for a specific use, and healing will help you bond with this element.

***Update*** We have reached our goal!!!! We were able To raise over $1,000.00 for the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy as a thank you for being there for spiritual guidance and comfort for the 9 families immediately after the Emanuel 9 shooting. $100.00 will be in each family name and the balance will be in the name of the survivors!!! I can not begin to say thank you enough to those who donated, sent me well wishes for the race tomorrow and just 'liked' my status' throughout this campaign. I am honored to represent my grandma tomorrow during the Cooper River Bridge Run. Having Alecia Geter, *Kandace Howey* and Quiana Lubin running alongside me means the world. I love you and thank you thank you and thank you!!!! (at Mother Emanuel AME Church)

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. As a sufferer of this disease, I wanted to bring attention it. Maybe someone you know has it, maybe you have it, maybe you think you have it and don’t know if you do. For those who are not familiar, Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus. Symptoms may include, Pelvic pain that gets worse after sex or a pelvic exam, Chronically heavy or long periods, Bowel or urinary disorders associated with periods, Painful sexual activity, particularly with penetration, Significant lower back pain with menses, Allergies, migraines or fatigue that tends to worsen around menses, Crippling menstrual pain and Catamenial pneumothorax (lung endometriosis). There is not cure for this only pain management. After having 6 surgeries for this disease I fight on. Please use this post as a way of knowing you are not alone and if you think you might have this, use me as a resource. Reach out to someone. Call your doctor. But have FAITH it will work out. #WearYellowforEndo #EndoAwareness #Ask Questions #SeekHelp #Youarenotalone #FightlikeaGirl (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

This movie is what 'we' needed. It tackles so many things and does it with humor. It's nit racist because it makes white people uncomfortable and it's not anti white because it has a black person who saves the day. @jordanpeele Thank you!!! #getout and #getoutyourfeelings (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

If you ever feel so small and insignificant, just remember that you have something inside of you that makes the universe up. You have galaxies under your skin; you have stars in your eyes. You are composed of atoms from collisions of solar systems billions and millions of light years away. You were never too small for something. You are the entire cosmos, dear.

Ethel Lee Lance.....She matters to me. Her life mattered. My grandmothers life ended in cold calculated murder at the hands of someone who shares the same ideas and thoughts as the new president elect. How are you sit here and tell me that black and brown life will matter to him? It never has before why now? White people were rallied behind their candidate just as blacks were behind Obama and you see the results on both ends. How do you expect me to feel when the president of the country I live spews the shit he does and the people who follows says the damn things and they are people I work with? I'm at a lost for words. I'm at a loss of family. I lost my grandma because of this shit. How can I be happy? (at Charlotte center city)

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else.
