I feel like I gotta point out -- this is hypervigilance, it's a trauma response, and it is not always right.

It can be very effective, and it can be really hard to learn to second-guess it, especially if you come from an environment where you couldn't check or trust people to be honest with you. But you have to learn to second-guess that instinct -- because it's not empathy, it's projection. You don't "know" what someone's feeling, you're assuming, based on an assumption that's kept you safe in the past.

If you trust your overtuned trauma response over the actual people around you, it will harm your relationships with them.

My SO came home late after a night out with a friend and enthusiastically updated me on the gossip. I've been sleeping around 11pm everyday for the past few nights and it was nearing my bedtime then so I couldn't stop yawning. Sis tried to pull it together to follow the gossip but a wild tear ran down my face after I tried holding a yawn back. SO immediately stopped with the gossips and looked really concerned when that happened. He shifted towards me and started caressing me while asking "Why are you crying? I love you." in the most tender way possible.

This man is the bane of my existence and the death of me.

Nobody understands the bond between a girl and the mediocre book she read when she was 13 years old.

It was simple.

I asked myself what did I like to do. My answer was simple, running workshops.

Does my current role allow me to do so? Not really. 4/5 workshops I ran this year were not from my role.

Do I want to run workshops and work with students? Yes.

With that, I sent in my resume at 2am at night.

Dango shop encounters with Shikamaru:

You've noticed each other for quite some time now but no one dared to make a move. Both of you frequented the dango shop near the Academy every day, they baa-chan there served the best maple dango and green tea combo. He was always seated at the table near the windows, some days you would catch him gazing at the clouds while lost in thought. On the other hand, you preferred the cozy nook in the cafe to do your work. It was hard not to notice him, the black spiky hair, fishnet top, cuff earrings and all. Even description screamed delinquent but somehow, when you put it together on him, it made sense. Your eyes met by accident when he looked up to see you staring at him. "Ah shit" you thought to yourself. To avoid embarrassment, you put your head down and worked on grading the papers instead. Hoping he'd forget the embarrassing encounter or think that you're some weirdo. It probably worked since when you were done, he was no longer around. Unless you scared him off. But that shouldn't be the case since he was there again the next day as usual. "Maybe he doesn't even notice me anyway." You grimaced, your self confidence pulling you down.

The town festival was happening and along came a lot of tourists. It was an oddly busy day at the cafe but I managed to get my usual spot. The other seats were brimming with tourists. You unconciously put in effort to look decent whenever you came to the cafe. It gave you something to look forward to. "Guess he's not coming today huh" as you glanced as his usual spot, nos taken by a burly woman gorging down on dango. You blocked out the noise and read this new book you got about ways of thinking. You find it a hard to focus but reasoned that perhaps that's the reason you should read this book even more. Absorbed in the book, you didn't notice the duo headed towards your direction until a familiar voice spoke. "Do you two mind sharing a table today? I'm sure you two youngsters can get along well. I'll send over some complimentary dango over okay." You had to blink twice to process what was happening. It seemed that Shikamaru was the same as well, dazed even when baachan ushered him into the seat across from me and scurried away. "...hi" you exchanged but you couldn't help but let out a small laughter. "Looks like she didn't give you any warning huh?" "Nope. She practically dragged me in from the front door." Just then, baa-chan walked over with the dango. "See, I'd knew you two hit it off well. You've been staring at each other the whole summer." Before scurrying away. You felt a hot burn down your face, did she mean that people noticed? Wait, does that mean it's mutual all this time? You couldn't believe what you heard but the blush on Shikamaru's ears told you she was telling the truth. It was hard to pick up the conversation again with the sudden realisation but it gave you more courage than ever to talk to the person in front of you. And frankly speaking, Shikamaru was an interesting person to talk to and it seemed like he found your company interesting too. You couldn't believe yourself when he asked if you'd like to have lunch together. Lunch also turned into countless dango dates at the very table where it all started.

Manifesting:

- using pictures of us as our phone lock screen

- using the things we got for one another and nonchalantly mentioning each other when someone asks

- my boyfriend is picking me up

- cute couple pictures on film

- cringy, cheesy and quality time together

- sharing one brain cell at times but most of time, functioning as complimentary brain cells

- geeking out together. Reading manga and watching anime openly around you.

- star gazing

- walking around in long flowy dress and feeling pretty

25. I'm at peace with not being perfect. She didn't ask me to be perfect, she asked me to pick up calls. I think I can do that.
