It feels like I can't trust someone if they do not open up right away. It feels weird if it takes a lot of time to know someone or become involved in their personal life. It is even suspicious if for weeks into months the connection is slow. It could feel like I am being ignored, neglected, or even that the person is detached if they want time alone often. Why do I feel this way?

I don't miss you. I miss who I was when I was with you.
I hate the way it ended. I hate the last fight we had. Now all I can think about is what was said and what I should have said instead. If only I had chosen words more carefully. If only my grip around the glass had been calmer, I wouldn't have dropped it and shattered it into a million pieces.

To the woman who is hiding her pain in plain sight:
Trust me with the most certainty that after experiencing many different types of abuse and toxic situations in my 31 years, that I know the pain in the silence of your presence. I know you are being abused.

Why there's no need for negativity in your life:
As a Jaded Savior, I found myself in a loop of misery. I was surrounded by toxic family, abusive love partners, "Negative Nancy's" and friends who used all their time to complain about their bad lives.

I'm sorry for saying sorry.
I say sorry a lot. And I mean A LOT. All day long, I apologize to my husband and kids. I even think "sorry" during situations with strangers.

Th[anxiety] Giving Problems:
This is a PSA that a lot of families are really toxic and attending a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner should not be mandatory just to save face.

The year my mother collapsed at Thanksgiving
I got the text Thanksgiving evening from my cousin who I had not seen in many years but was very fond of. He and his sister were younger than me and always went to the family holiday occasions, long after I estranged myself from everyone. They were my mother's only (alive) sisters' kids. I was my mother's only child and had left at 16, forcibly and due to abuse. I had no regrets going no contact for years after but my cousins would still keep in touch here and there via text or socials.

Writing about trauma is a work of art.
Here's an answer to a question no one has ever asked me, but I have prepared an answer to anyways. I think people are actually AFRAID to write about their traumas widely because it will mean those things happened and have to be dealt with. NOT because people are afraid of those stories being read.
