look.. when i say i want a Florence and Hozier collab i mean i want a four hour long, 28 song collab album about tearing yourself free of the mortal binds that restrain you, crawling deep into the forest that has called to you for too long, wandering past remnants of past civilizations and eventually sacrificing yourself at an ancient altar which depicts a pair of stone-hewn male and female celtic godly entities with striking familiar features. Your body is never found.

I fell in love with cozy coffee shops the smell of cigarettes and caffeine hanging in the air a stranger’s smile I fell in love with the sharp breeze over a lake laughter echoing through the abandoned woods the warmth of a campfire and watery hot chocolate that burned my mouth I fell in love with the darkened rooms of a museum photographs of places and faces I never knew running over freshly cut grass on the lawn in my bare feet I fell in love with your eyes each one a galaxy of their own which captured me a whirlwind of emotions I fell in love with late night conversations falling asleep under the stars, huddled together in a tent the ache of my bruised shoulders against tree roots I fell in love with music singing in the dining hall after a meal the reckless abandon of not having to care what others thought I was falling in love with youth, the idea of being free

How to Cope with Emotional Abuse

1. First, recognize when you are in a controlling, manipulative, disrespectful or punitive relationship. Usually, the person will be highly critical of you and their comments will have emotional undertones. There is usually also a threat of rejection or abandonment.

2. If you can, walk away from the relationship. It’s unhealthy to be caught up in emotional games where you are the pawn, and you feel trapped and abused.

3. Establish boundaries. For example, don’t allow the person to engage you in critical conversations and emotional put downs. Walk away from any outbursts and emotional displays.

4. Agree to what you will, and will not, accept in the relationships. State these in clear and explicit terms.

5. Put your needs and values before their needs and values (as they will be unlikely to respect these in you first.)

6. Make sure that “no” means “no” … and don’t accept small compromises.

7. Don’t allow yourself to get drawn into any arguments. It will likely go downhill, and you will end up feeling bad.

8. Surround yourself with people who see your gifts and strength – and remind yourself that their viewpoint reflects reality!

I was just thinking about how important it is that we acknowledge that these 2 things can both be true at the same time:

1) your parents/caretakers loving you, being generally kind, and/or trying their best to do right by you and

2) them abusing and/or neglecting you or otherwise being toxic and/or inadequate.

We want to boil abuse down to an either or situation: either your parents love you or they abuse you.

This is a very false dichotomy. Much of the abuse I suffered was exactly because my dad was trying to do what he thought I needed.

Life is so so so so much more complicated and nuanced than that an either/or and if you confront a parent or caretaker about manipulative, abusive, or toxic behaviors, their defense of “I was just trying my best” CAN be true without it negating your truth that you suffered because of them.

i think the worst idea that this site has popularized vis a vis mental health is that its okay to treat your friends like therapists, and that its expected they react like one when you have an episode or breakdown

its a lot like approaching a friend and going “hey, you bandaged my cooking burn once, can you give me open heart surgery?” and getting upset when either they refuse to do so or getting hurt when they dont have the knowledge needed to do it safely.

people can support you, and they can help you out of rough patches, but relying on them for your continued functionality and stability is stressful and dangerous for everyone involved.

Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.
