I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written

[neoyorzapoteca]

It is an honorable defeat. I risked everything—I gave all that I had—for the first time. If I was naïve enough to imagine that it must work between us, because of the immensity and certainty of my feeling, it was an honorable naïveté and nothing to be ashamed of.   It will be a long labor of recovery. I must give up my love, I must give up my dream—without building up a wall again that prevented me from feeling fully until I met C.   [In the margin:] I don’ t want to learn anything from the failure of this love.   (What I could learn is to become cynical or guarded or even more afraid of loving than I was before.) I don’t want to learn anything. I don’t want to draw any conclusions.   Let me go on being naked. Let it hurt. But let me survive.

(having a good week) that’s right. the goal is to increase my baseline. make the spirals shallower until they spin lazily on the surface of the water, lose their suction. im not trying to fix it all at once, im trying to incrementally improve my way into something tolerable. and once im there maybe i can shoot for good

(having a bad week) and in my terrible forge i will temper the flames of ruin

It's literally crazy luck that I've only ever come across nails ever since I got my hands on my awesome hammer

how to stop isolating yourself?? the answer is give up on code and hidden messages. love fully and loudly and truthfully and always. be deliberate. be open. feel everything. but won’t it be hard? won’t it hurt? yes!!!! yes.
