Welcome new followers! I’m pretty quiet around here most of the time. I mostly post cat photos and photos from walks through my neighborhood in the summer. I have been known to share music, books, video games, and movies. I look forward to getting to know you. 😊

Feel what you feel. Validate it, explore it, express it (in safe contexts), understand it. Honor it.
Then: breathe; blink; focus; & remind yourself you're not under any obligation to let the intensity of a feeling "make" you do things that'll short circuit your recovery arc.

There's nothing wrong w/ the person you are. You don't "need" to ditch your personality to recover from trauma. And also, you GET to change, to retool yourself .01% at a time from the ground up if you choose, if it's more consistent w/ the life you want. Point is: it's YOUR call.

The fact that the people who share your name & DNA or who happened to attend the same church you did growing up don't understand who you are, what's important to you, or what you need, can be painful.
And, it has exactly zero to do w/ your worth, value-- or future.

Remind yourself today that you don't have to be prefect to be worthy. You don't have to be perfect to deserve to live. You don't have to be perfect to deserve safety, or love, or happiness-- or to deserve more than the bare minimum in life.
You deserve it all. Here, now.

‘Tulip’ comes from the Turkish word ‘tülbent’ which means "turban."
The flower got its name from the resemblance of its overlapping petals to the folds of fabric in a turban.

Well, yesterday I fully ended the long-distance relationship. He’s too entangled with his abusive gf, and clearly not ready to face reality or get safe. I told him friendship is good, but I can’t be someone else because of her crazy shit. It’s a shame. He’s pretty amazing. 🥺

The vast majority of trauma survivors I've ever met don't want anything "special." They want the opportunity to find out who they are without the ghosts of their past polluting their thoughts, beliefs, & decisions-- autonomy that the normies take for granted.
No more; no less.
No more; no less.

One of my favorite Ae'o shots (in fact, I have a 24" x 18" float mount of it up on my living room wall), a matched pair feeding in the shallows of Kealia Pond NWR. Inspired to post by @mollybangles.bsky.social and her curlews! :) 📷🦉🌿

For many abuse survivors, our pets are more than a source of emotional support. They might be the one reliable source of unconditionally safe & affectionate physical touch we've experienced--maybe our entire life.
