#retreating

It was my mind's way of handling trauma, shutting down and curling inward to protect itself. I had done it before, but at least then I had a book to distract me. Without one, I could only drift for so long.

We report: we watch the retreating storm clouds while the broken gutter is still flooding the pavement. There is a dandelion that is dancing frantically under the constant stream of water, and some gravel from recent construction is running down the street. The sun comes out.

Defensive Mindset: Retreating is a form of Self Defense. Use it whenever you can.

Tell me why I just opened the curtains to take pics of the stars and some dude who was just driving up just stopped in the middle of the road

He's just PARKED THERE WITH HIS LIGHTS ON HELL NAW

Similar to Isis (42) after the death of her husband Osiris (1923), Waldemath (h58) always retreats to be alone with her mind. It’s like the perfect one-on-one partnership. Her mind is her discoverer, Dr. Waldemath.

A really broken, beaten down Waldemath who just wants to leave, retreat, be alone and be safe will leave without her mind but he always finds her before she’s gone. They always escape together! That’s why Dr. Waldemath is so severe.
