I honestly don’t think I could tell you how many times I’ve listened to erasure, I love this audio so much

There would be no mourning. No memory. Never would Ariah speak of him. Never would Ariah allow us to ask about him.

The way I communicate is by saying "ok dude!" to express disagreement and "whatever" when you really crossed the line and I don’t want to talk to you ever again.

Convo between me and my mom

Me: so you know how I just kind of shut off any negative emotions sometimes?

Mom: yeah

Me: apparently happens to people with trauma

Mom: well you definitely have trauma

Me stares

Mom stares back: you've had trauma in life

Me: I mean yeah I know but-

Mom staring at me: ...

Me: ok yeah

Living in survival mode all the time is so exhausting but I’m to scared to stop.

God is beyond our five senses. His ways are beyond our capacity or ability to conjure up. And yet, we have blocked the knowing of God, or at least limited it, by either our bodies or our souls. As our five senses engage with the world around us, we expect that is how we are to engage with God. So we look for Him in ways we can see, touch, or comprehend. All the while we shut off the connection within our spirit that He longs to make.
