It Is What It Is.

Sometimes the future changes quickly and completely, and we’re left with only the choice of what to do next. We can choose to be afraid of it, to stand there trembling not moving, assuming the worst that can happen or we step forward into the unknown and assume it will be brilliant.

“Traumatized people are often afraid of feeling. It is not so much the perpetrators (who, hopefully, are no longer around to hurt them) but their own physical sensations that now are the enemy. Apprehension about being hijacked by uncomfortable sensations keeps the body frozen and the mind shut. Even though the trauma is a thing of the past, the emotional brain keeps generating sensations that make the sufferer feel scared and helpless. It’s not surprising that so many trauma survivors are compulsive eaters and drinkers, fear making love, and avoid many social activities: Their sensory world is largely off limits.”

— - Bessel van der Kolk “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and the Body in the Healing of Trauma

Hear me out…. How about we just date, fall in love, communicate effectively, respect each other, support each other, and then boom. We get married

There are two kinds of people. Those who think, “I don’t want anyone to suffer like I did.” And those who think, “I suffered; why shouldn’t they?”

This is an important distinction.

“The other thing about depression is it kind of collapses time. Suddenly you find your whole day is blending together to create one endless and suffocating loop, so you find yourself trying to remember the things that made you happy. But slowly, your brain begins to erase every memory that ever brought you joy and, eventually, all you can think about is how life has always been this way. And it will only continue to be this way.”

-Rue, Euphoria (2019)

Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than you ever imagined.

I’m allowed to be angry about what happened. I am allowed to be angry about what you did.
