keep moving forward

I'm a motherfucking therapist. This is a stream-of-consciousness blog through my journey of healing shame and moving towards freedom, love, and forgiveness - because honestly, life is often shitty..... Mostly this is lots of quotes. But sometimes just things that tug at my heart strings and I keep moving forward in love or something. Feel free to ask questions if you want!

Fascists and Confederates are the losers in history. That's why white racists don't want you to learn about the past. Too many 'L's.

If all you can do, in 2023, is cling to 1860s losers, it's time to atone, ask for help assimilating in a diverse society, crack a book, and grow up. Show some effort.

“Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will learn what inspires you. You will cultivate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity. And when you do meet the right person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it because you are sure of yourself.”

— Bianca Sparacino

“I adore your courage, the pain it engenders, the struggle you carry in yourself. I adore your terrifying sincerity.”

Me: I’m scared I might secretly be an awful person and I’m just fooling everyone into thinking I’m good.

Therapist: the fact that you care so deeply about being a bad person is proof that you’re actually good. Bad people don’t mind being bad.

Me: oH NO, I have fooled her too,

“Find someone who isn’t afraid to admit that they miss you, who knows you aren’t perfect but treats you as if you are, who’s biggest fear is losing you, who says ‘I love you’ and means it with all their heart, someone who believes leaving and giving up isn’t an option.”

If you’d never existed, think of how many dogs would have gone unpet, how many people would have struggled to open the door themselves with full hands, how many people would be insecure about their outfit because you hadn’t complimented them, how many people would have been lost without your advice, how many strangers would have kept frowning because you hadn’t smiled at them as you walked by. Even the smallest of actions can have a big impact on someone else, you’re important.
