Just a person who feels intensely, so I'm overwhelmed much of the time. Always learning, always fighting for those fleeting moments of feeling good. I didn't get to be who I thought I'd be in many ways, but I try to at least be useful here and there.
Gift giving went OK this year, and I do enjoy giving more than receiving, but my spouse gave me nothing, not even a word of explanation, so now I'm sad and insecure. ☹️

In the wrapping portion of the Christmas games, I have two books that were backup gifts for others I found. Either I'm going overboard for a couple, making gifts unequal, or I just got myself some books. Gifting is awkward when you're generally chill but sometimes just a wee bit obsessive.

If college campus s*x assaults were reported accurately, I bet the nicest places would turn out to have roughly equal rates as those who spend less money hyping their "community spirit" and whatnot. Young men who never learned to respect other human beings show up everywhere.

I want to snuggle with Wilford in whatever warm and sunny space-time he occupies in this video. 🧸

Ah, December. Another example of women in our society being expected to run around preparing joy and social warmth for the holidays, all while the men don't have to do shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

One obnoxious thing about CPTSD is how we can mentally flip back to the mindset of "back then" very rapidly when a reminder shows up. I'm still on FB (I know, shut up), and after friending an old acquaintance, a friend of his popped up. It was my ex bf from 2001, who did nothing wrong, but I (1/?)

I'm nobody. Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Well, then there's two of us.
Don't tell!
They'll banish us, you know.

How dreadful to be somebody!
How public, like a frog --
to tell your name the livelong day
to an admiring bog!

-Emily Dickinson (from memory, apologies if I mistook a word or 3)
