do i want emotional intimacy or is it just a terrible and boring time of year?
one of my professors says that “no one comes out of childhood unharmed” and i think its important to know all the trauma you carry with you, because a lot of people do possess some. this isnt to say that you have to get along with everyone just cause you can see why they are the way they are. however, realizing, or trying to realize why people do or act in certain ways is powerful. i dont like to use the word trauma because its been beaten into the ground. but all the good and the bad you have experienced shape you who are now, and theres no running from that. i think that both positive experiences and pain make you stronger. i do not trust people who attribute themselves to one or the other. i was just thinking about this as i make a futile attempt to fall asleep, and i have nowhere else to put this XD
unfortunately the most pick me item i own
i miss my dog so much. shes gone now and theres obviously nothing i can do about that but o my god. my mom likes to say the dog helped raise my brother and i. she was so little when we got here. i was 9, and she died this summer. she had been a part of my life for more than half my time on earth. and now shes gone and its not fucking fair. i have accepted that she is gone but its so hard to think about her being in pain, no animal deserves that. she died peacefully though, and thats all i can ask for.
