In the Forests of the Night

I actually didn’t build these friendships until my 30s, and my BPD still absolutely affects me.

But one thing I had to learn is that healthy relationships became more possible when I stopped treating relationships like constant tests to prove I’m loved.

I used to spiral, accuse people of not caring, hint instead of communicate, and expect reassurance in ways that overwhelmed people. Even people who genuinely loved me.

And honestly, I had to learn that people are usually more able to show up for me when I invite them in instead of pushing them into a defensive mode with accusations.

That means telling people what I’m struggling with directly. Letting people know what helps. Accepting support without turning it into a test of whether they care “enough.” Learning emotional regulation and accountability. Learning that reassurance doesn’t work if I immediately reject it.

ibuprofen was first discovered in 1961; phalloplasty and HRT are less experimental

Today it’s mostly famous for what it looks like on the inside.

It has an equestrian staircase though it’s so smooth it’s really just a gentle slope more than a staircase. It was build like that so our lazy bum king could ride his horse all the way to the top (king not in photo)

And naturally people have also driven cars up the tower

And held a bike race

For a while it was just sort of abandoned by the authorities and became a spiraling marketplace

But today it has been restored and become a tourist spot as well as a popular destination for school trips. And yes, you can still watch the cosmos at the top.
