āSo many men are deprived of grace. How can one live without grace? One has to try it and do what Christianity never did: be concerned with the damned.ā - Albert Camus, Notebooks
āDonāt overthink life. Trust that you made the right decision and continue to grow. Use your creative energy positively.ā

This is your daily reminder to not get caught up in the sunk cost fallacy.
What is the sunk cost fallacy?
It is continuing a behavior because of previously invested resources (time, money, energy, effort).
If something is not working out for you anymore, stop doing it. Find something else to do. Donāt worry about how many year youāve done it or how much money youāve put into it. It doesnāt work anymore. It doesnāt make you happy.
You deserve better.

Then how do you type your posts?

tumblr doesnāt even pretend to show me notifications any more, if you say something to me and I see it itās purely because I stumbled upon it by chance in an enchanted grotto deep in the moonlit forest at midnight and will never find it again.
if you tag me in something and I donāt respond, I didnāt see it, Iām not ignoring you, I love attention
āBody Horror,ā as an official designation, is a term that comes from horror cinema but its literary origins can be traced back as far as Frankenstein. It is a trope that springs from primal fearsāfrom the knowledge of oneself as a physical object and the consciousness of paināand its roots wind through the Gothic, to the fin de siĆØcle and the birth of science fiction. As a sub-genre, it broadly encompasses the concept of bodily violation, whether that be via mutilation, zombification, possession, or disease, but arguably one of its most pervasive themes is that of transformation. From Ovid to Cronenberg, transformation occupies an anxious corner in so much of film and literature that it more or less forms a tradition all its own. Folklore and myth are littered with metamorphosisāDaphne twisting into a bay tree, Alice in Wonderland with her Eat Meās and Drink Meāsāand its impact is frequently an unsettling one. It is a fairy-tale punishment, a warning to naughty children, a reminder of the bodyās unreliability.
[ā¦] I think that writing about women goes hand in hand with horror writing. The female body is a nexus of pain almost by design, but it is also potentially monstrousāan object traditionally subjugated, both for its presumed weakness and its perceived threat. The mutations and transformations of horror writing are uniquely qualified to evoke this: the difficulty and unreliability of the female body, its duality as an object both to be feared for and to fear.
When Daphne transforms into a bay tree, the moment is one of both horror and deliverance. She is no longer what she once was, but the metamorphosis frees her from the unwanted attention of Apollo. This duality of horror and emancipation sits, I think, at the core of female transformation. Within the horror genre (and arguably everywhere else), bodies read as female are always subject to pain, and to the threat of violation. Becoming something elseāa tree, a freak, a monsterāpreempts this pain and reduces the risk of harm. It may even, if the transformation is the right one, allow you to cause harm in return.

doā¦.do yaāll wanna hear about the cow butt eyes? do ya? huh? do you wanna hear about the cow butt eyes, you little freak???
Do we have a choice?
you really donāt! introducing:
it turns out painting eyes on a cowās rump makes them less likely to be attacked by predators such as lions and leopards!
itās an effective, low-cost, non-lethal deterrent, and i havenāt stopped gasping from sheer gleeĀ since i found out
What if this is the reason angels have so many eyes all over their bodies?
what do you imagine is hunting angels????
Theā¦the lions ā are you even paying attention???
I think itās really important to recognize that romantic love is not better than other types of love!! My love for pasta, for example, is very strong and pure
Honestly, healing from chronic / childhood trauma isnāt pretty, it isnāt romantic, most of the time it isnāt some beautiful story of a perfectly innocent victim rising to become strong
A lot of healing from chronic / childhood trauma is realizing there is a lot of dirt, grime, hurt, pain, and problematic behaviors and beliefs that living in such an environment has instilled inside of you.
It is realizing a lot of things you thought were normal were not, and a lot of the things youāve done that you thought were given truths and normal things about the world were false, not needed, and hurtful to others and yourself around you.
A lot of people want a healing story that is inspiring and beautiful - with a clear abuser and a clear victim - someone who was clearly 100% perfect, innocent and never did anything wrong in life and someone who was clearly 100% evil, intentional, corrupt, and malicious. The hero / villian story of trauma, abuse, and recovery is so much easier to digest both for others and the person, but the reality is - living through hell instills and causes people to learn things that arenāt 100% perfect and innocent.
No trauma survivor or victim deserves what happened to them, nor did they ask for it in any form, but it isnāt abnormal for one to unknowingly after growing up and living in an environment that was dangerous, harmful, and painful to learn things that arenāt the best in the general world.
Trying to heal, mistakes will be made, a lot of unlearning and relearning will happen. People - especially children and teenagers who grew up in these environments - will likely reenact what happened to them or use defensive mechanisms that arenāt the best that they got from assuming the world is like their home.
Many will do things that arenātĀ āokayā or areĀ āproblematicā because that is all they know. This isnāt to say it is okay or excusable. This isnāt to say you should forgive anyone who did this to you.
This is to those who did bad things in the past that they punish themselves for, hate themselves for, the bad things they did due to being young and in a stage of survival.
The past does not define you and you were young and living by what you were taught growing up. You are not a horrible person because of how you learned to live. Who you are is found in the present and the future and in what you do now and what you do later.
You can and deserve to forgive yourself and your younger selves for what had happened when you knew little more.
You arenāt horrible or terrible.Ā
Being young is hard
Being a teen is hard
Having trauma is hard
Having chronic trauma is hard.
Being young and growing up in an environment conducive to chronic trauma is even harder.
You deserve and are allowed to forgive yourself and move forward and heal.
You deserve to heal just like anyone else.
