EMERGENCY MEETING

They're making the Owl House into a home for them both 😊

I was meant to be a character in a low budget horror movie in 2005 wearing a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt to signify to the audience that I am an enjoyer of music

they should have naptime at work, and silent reading time, and recess , and

i'll be like i'm okay with solitude ive made my peace with it and then someone like remembers a singular fact about me or says like 'oh where were you? we were worried we missed you!' and i feel like my entire facade melts away and im like oh okay i missed you too. im so glad you missed me so i can miss you too

Thinking about the dichotomy of "I feel uncomfortable/triggered in the presence of x/y/z environments I would like to be someplace without that" that I constantly see online and when I tell my therapist I really get uncomfortable when people raise their voices around me even if they aren't actually mad and her response of "you can only control your own reactions and emotions, it's not really fair to police others on how they should exist in your presence" and honestly it sucks to hear but she's right.. it's good to have people be conscientious of what triggers you but really it's up to us to do the hard work of building that emotional resilience. The idea of people around me having to be hypervigilant of what they say and do lest I start getting dysregulated does not sound fun at all, I want people to feel comfortable being themselves around me and that means training my dumb lizard brain to chill tf out. Living in a constant state of avoidance sucks ass for everyone involved.

you have to tolerate discomfort to get to comfort

However you think this story will end is wrong
