The weirdest fucking thing is when some empath without boundaries calls you a narcissist because you have a normal human boundary like “ask before you tell me something extremely traumatizing that happened to you” and it’s like.. you’re right, but not for that reason? I’m a narcissist because I have narcissistic traits like a super fragile ego and superiority complex, not because I can’t handle you dumping your trauma on me 24/7

“The person who might take us out of the ice, who might even physically free us from our lack of feeling, is not necessarily going to be the one to whom we belong. It may be, as in the story, another of those magical but fleeting events that again come along when we least expected it, an act of kindness from a passing stranger.” AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
