Oh my God, that is absolutely hilarious!
Kind of a bold choice to pull that out at work though

**this is not sad, I’m not sad, this is growth and healing and learning and it’s good**
Sooooo…I haven’t really talked about therapy. I feel like most appointments I’m just screaming and crying cause I’ve had no real breaks to work on old trauma, just constantly occurring new trauma. Last week we started on old traima. Abandonment issues. Ownership issues. Self worth issues.
The question she asked was “why don’t your feelings matter? Why do you think you don’t matter as much as everyone else?”
We discussed how I swing from one extreme to another and I’m either 100% in or 100% out. I have no balance, no in between.
Then she emailed me this…

I am. I do. I’m figuring out what I like and who I am.Chilly
I say this
You are my friend and I do understand a bit about where you are
Screw the above whatever
I need you to get out and do something you love to do
That’s it
I want you to go and do you
The hell with anything else
By this i mean the advise You’ve been given
Reach out and do something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t
Please “intrude” any time you like! I hope this helps you too!I'm sorry to intrude but wanted to say this spoke to me too.
Take care.
You are very kind. Thank you!You're a fantastic person and it's so impressive and exciting seeing you are working to become the best version of yourself and to find areas you want to improve in your life and actually work for that and to live your best life. You may not be there right now, but I applaud you for going for it and doing what you need to get there. There are many threads around here about being turned on by other Lit people, but your efforts to work to make your life the best it can be are wildly impressive and you are doing great and there should be threads about how awesome that is. Keep it up.
Ducking in a saying good afternoon...well morning your time. Oh, I broughtto brighten your day
Be whoever you want to be, among friends you'll always be.
Chilly, I just happened upon this thread today, which surprises me, because I'm normally drawn to things Chilly. I haven't gone back through all of the thread, and I don't want to intrude, but I do want to encourage you to take care of you. This meme...so much wisdom. I've had more peace in the last ten years or so (I'm about to hit 60 in a few months) than ever before by applying this concept. I don't have to "hate" people or harbor anger at them to protect myself from their destructive habits and mindsets. You have to protect yourself, your mindset, and your peace. Take care of YOU; you are worth it. Anybody whose presence makes you feel that is less than true needs to be kept at a LONG arms length. I believe that doing this, protecting yourself, actually releases you to be the best version of YOU. Some will love that person, some may not; their loss.

Just a little input from an old soul who wants the best for you.
Therapy can do some amazing things. It sounds like you scored yourself a great one**this is not sad, I’m not sad, this is growth and healing and learning and it’s good**

lol I roll my eyes a lot in therapy and she laughs at me. I’m glad you found a good one too!Therapy can do some amazing things. It sounds like you scored yourself a great one
Mine is pretty great, too. Sometimes a love/hate relationship depending on the topic, haha.
One day I was really going through it and just couldn't get myself out of that failure and 'why doesn't anyone want me' feeling..a little dramatic, I get it..but it's real.
One day she sent me this - she said she came across it and wanted to share - I think sharing is caring so here it is for you and anyone else as well:
"I think it's brave. I think it's brave that you get up in the morning when your heart aches and life is messy, even when you don't feel like being soft for the world. I think it's brave that you continue to love and open your soul despite the way you were treated in the past. I think it's brave that you keep going. I think it's brave that you keep believing in something more, something bigger, even if you don't know what you are hoping for."

Yeah. That's a real thing.Read through a thread tonight and I went all the way back to page 1. Came across names I haven’t seen in awhile and watched friendships come and go. And every now and then I muttered a disappointed fuck you through tears.
