A Reflection
Introduction These are just some thoughts on things. I am working and looking out the window and the birds flying and dodging through the grey skies like the ideas in my head, waiting to be woven into some tale or pattern to flow from my fingers.

Addicted To You
In the heart of a bustling metropolis, where the city lights danced and the streets hummed with life, there existed a young woman named Sophia. Her eyes sparkled with dreams as vast as the starry night sky, and her spirit radiated warmth that could melt even the coldest of hearts. Sophia was an artist at heart, finding beauty in the simplest of things and weaving them into masterpieces that reflected her soul.

When to keep the peace and when to stand up for yourself
I feel like I am caught in an odd place in both my relationship and with my family. In a place where I want to stand up for myself, but I also want to keep the peace. I feel like I have to really think about every situation that I am in, and consider if it is worth the fight or not. Most of the time, I'm just not sure. I am trying to stand up for myself more, however that causes trouble most of the time. I feel like I always take it, I always try to do what people say is the right thing to do. Of course, that always works out best for everyone else, and never me. When will someone look out for me? When will I come first? Maybe it's just getting older, but I am sick of always doing the right thing and never being put first. I know that my problem is my life is that I don't have a lot of people that will really take care of me, that will stand up for me. All I want is one.

Don't Touch Me There. Content Warning.
I should have listened a little more carefully. Perhaps then I wouldn't be stuck in the position I am now. I heard you talking to your boys when we stumbled back from the bar.

Expectations
Here recently, I've been prompted to reflect on my expectations from relationships, stirring up a terrifying number of emotions and thoughts I am working through in therapy. Throughout my life, I've struggled particularly in my interactions with people, especially men, which has left me with PTSD, anxiety, and a tendency to overthink. Sometimes I question if my complexities and issues make me too much for anyone to handle. So I have decided to confess my good sides and bad sides for potential friends ... or those who may want to be more than friends.

I Used to Disrespect LGBTQ People
I regret how I treated someone during my younger years due to ignorance and a lack of understanding. Around age 15–16, there was a gay classmate of mine who I was not very respectful towards at times.

LOVE ME
I guess you can say i'm difficult or so i've been told but that just sounds like it's coming from someone who doesn't know how to handle me my apologies if you find me a bit too challenging i mean i'm sorry i'm sorry that my past ptsd from my past relationships causes me to think that you can't be good to me you say i'm being a detective but i just think i'm being protective excuse me, if my tone of voice is a bit aggressive i'm just reiterating the fact that i was never the one to mess with i mean i'm sorry i let it happen again i let past experiences where shitty ass men dictate the way i interact with you and i really want to trust but it's obvious i still have some issues i need to get through i never said that loving me was going to be easy but if you're going to do not excuse my assertiveness for inability to be submissive i just know what i want so i'm making sure you understand the mission listen.

Spark of Love
I moved my feet gently across the old wooden and worn floor. Your hands were settled gently on my hips, your arms my shield and walls of protection around me. I took a deep breath, settling the unsteady waves leaving me. Your body swayed gently with mine. It was a warm comfortable room, fireplace blazing, and no one to look down on us. The music was medium, not too fast to make us waltz quickly around, but not too slow to make us lose track of where we are or what we are doing. My heart was pounding in my chest and throat. Being this close to you awoke nerves within me that I didn’t know could still hold a spark.
