We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.

I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds Without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me

If there is a way, I’ll take it. (via life-with-bpd-things)

Stop using triggered

Triggered. It doesn’t mean angry. The word does not mean sad.

There has been this horrible trend to claim to be triggered based on a misunderstanding of the word. And the new sarcastic and witty response to anyone passionately disagreeing with you is to call the person triggered. It is time to stop this. Now.

Triggered means that a person has had significant trauma and an event has put their body and mind into a place of danger, when there is little to no actual danger. Inability to breathe, panic attacks, uncontrollable crying, inability to speak, freeze flight or fight…these are some of the symptoms. The person’s alarm is on. Their brain is telling them they are in danger. It can also lead to avoidance of triggers so that they do not have to feel that way. It affects function. It can lead to addiction, loss of employment, loss of support system. It’s not a joke.

To use triggered because someone has said something offensive is wrong. People with PTSD can be triggered by media or Internet- but there is a difference is being hurt, angered, saddened and being triggered. To use triggered to make fun of people’s passion is wrong. You are making light or making fun of people who suffer from PTSD. People are allowed to have feelings and not be “triggered”. and people who have PTSD do not deserve to be your punchline.

Do you know the largest two groups of individuals who are diagnosed with PTSD?

Veterans and sexual assault survivors and when the popular trend is making fun of people being “triggered” that is who you are really hurting. That is who you are making fun of. That is who suffers.

Just FYI. If you deal with PTSD. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and processing therapy (EMDR) are the most evidenced based treatments.

Forgiveness and Love

You teach me these things every day. 

I am trying to learn how to do better for myself and others, and also learn how to build my friendships. I feel hopeless sometimes that we won’t find a community that would embrace and add to our growth. 

I love you so much and I just want us to have those things. We deserve the best.

i have failed you. i fail you when my anger takes control. i wish i could tear that emotion apart. i never wanted to say those things to you. i never wanted to hurt you the way i did with my anger.

we’ll get through anything

Babu,

I wish for things to be easier for us, but I don’t want to be naive about the distance and the problems that we may face. I want you to know that I am in this 100% of the way. Though you know that I may feel weak at times, and that my anxiety can irrevocably fuck things up, I want you to always remember that I will always try with you. I will always want this. Your love is a constant reminder that what we have is very special and it’s beyond what we could ever imagine love to be like.

I love you endlessly baby. Thank you for everything you do for us. Thank you for your compassion, patience and understanding. I am very lucky to call you my life partner. I can’t ever do this with anyone else...

Love,

Lion

Love, Patience, And Understanding

Erl,

Thank you for calling me in when I have been unfair to you in the past. Thank you for comforting me when I am in pain. Thank you for your endless love. Gah, I miss you so much. This doesn’t get easier does it? But Thank goodness I’m doing this with you. I wouldn’t do this with anyone else. This feels so painfully right. lol 

Baby, I just want to share this world with you. 

love,

Tiger

Love of My Life

Erl,

Did I mention... How Proud I am of us? Did I mention...How Proud I am of you. 

You have the force and energy of a high tidal wave, and yet also the low calm of the evening low tide. I am enamored by your life force and energy. You have your strings tied me to the earth yet loose enough and ready to be cut when we are ready to fly off into our world. 

Baby, You make me feel so young at heart. I feel so strong with you. I want to explore and learn more about this life with you. 

And our trials will pass. We will get through them. You are not alone. You are loved immensely by your community. 

love, 

Tiger

Calling ALL of tumblr I need your help!!!

The standing rock tribe are being silenced about what is going on up there with the Dakota access pipe line.

I beg of you to help me get the topic out. It will affect millions of lives. The pipe will leak into the tribes only source of drinking water. We are trying so hard to get this out on twitter and facebook, but we are being silenced.

Today a security team came into the middle of a peaceful native american protest and numerous people got maced and bitten by the dogs. 

I want you all to take a look at the terror on these young girls faces. Then I want you to take a look at the two aggressive dogs. When did it become OK to use dogs against children, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters OUR freakin people!!! The police will only let a dog go if the suspect runs or the suspect is violent and causes a threat to the public of the officer. Do you see a weapon in these young girls hands? Do these girls look dangerous? The answer would be no. No they don’t. The people with the dogs aren’t even police officers! They are security guards. They couldn’t even keep control of their own dogs leading to them being attacked also.

This is happening right this second and threatening millions of lives. I have to help. We can only break the silence if you join us in this fight. Just sharing my post helps the reality of the situation get out there. I now beg of you to share this post in support of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Give them a bigger voice. Help them shout this from the roof tops. Please… Rachael <3 <3 #NoDAPL

You are what I look Forward to...

I was watching one of my old favorite tv shows in highschool...

The Office (the mockumentary comedy show)

The main character was moving to another state to be with the love of his life. 

And I remember how touching and emotional it was when I watched this with Tin Tin...

And I thought about the day I would come to you. The day I get to come home. The day I get to hold you. The day I get to say I love you every day in the morning and evening...

This is all worth it. Every painful moment apart. Every sigh.

You are what I look forward to...You are what I work towards every day. 

Love, Tiger
