i really appreciate zoey’s extraordinary playlist as a show because it’s basically “it’s all fun and games helping everyone else around you before yourself until your own repression surfaces in an explosion and it’s all about learning to face the music now”

fake conversations in your head of you venting to someone

working through trauma by yelling at no one while driving alone

validating yourself by imagining situations where bad things happen to people and you save them

reinforcing trust in your loved ones by imagining situations where bad things happen to you and they save you

Explaining things to your therapist in an imaginary session

Projecting all your trauma onto an imaginary character and imagining others comforting them

Wanting fictional characters to have all the emotional support and physical affection you’ve always wanted

imagining situations where your favorite celebrities validate and celebrate you and tell you you’re doing a good job

All these are so real I’m just crying

By the time I actually experience mutual love/romance it’s going to send me into shock and fucking kill me
