just an escape

Someone being patient with you on your bad days is one of the softest forms of love

as in therapy 😂

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like "hey sorry, I'm not mad at you and this is nobody's fault and I'm not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I'm not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence."

calm, reassuring, gentle men

The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you

I wonder what kind of a person I'd be if i didn't have anxiety

shout out to people who's family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can't recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.

A firm smack on the ass is just as important as a kiss to the forehead.

I think everyone deserves to be called pretty by someone who means it and this should happen often

Be so fucking proud of yourself for passing the hardest moments alone while everyone believed you were fine.

I hate being in that mood where nothing’s really wrong but nothing feels right either

Sometimes you have to kiss her softly and tell her that she's good enough.
