Trauma moods

• I am extremely angry all of a sudden. Must. Destroy.
• Trauma who????? I’ve never felt better about anything in my life! I feel so happy!
• Oh god what if I’m faking everything why would I do that I’m a fraud why why why why why
• Time to stare at a wall and remember every single person that’s ever hurt you
• Feeling nothing but like. Too much of it.
• Fuck everyone who tells me I have to forgive them! Fuck them! I wish they were dead and everyone who supports them get hurt too!!!!!!
• Am I actually a toxic human being or have I been gaslit too much

By now I’ve met multiple people in my life who were unaware of any or all of the following and were delighted to learn them, so here is the master collection.

Scallops swim like they do in Spongebob

Scallops also have a bunch of googly eyes

Other mussels really do have big “tongues,” actually their “feet,” like on a snail or slug, which are basically their cousins

Every barnacle is an entire stationary crustacean, like a lobster or crab, and those are their legs

A sperm whale has a thin narrow little mouth and its lower jaw is basically a stick

Sea urchins walk around

Under the sea urchin is this mouth

Sand dollars are a type of sea urchin themselves and they just look like that

All sea anemones are meat eaters and mostly eat things about their own size

A starfish has a little eye on the end of each arm

Not only do octopuses have beaks but the bite of almost every octopus species is venomous, just in case shape-shifting, color changing, tentacles, suckers, ink and super intelligence weren’t enough super powers

plz comment with any you would like to add and also whether any were new or shocking to you

2018

as i look back on this year

my thoughts beg to be written in clear

a year of regret,

a year of happiness, and of serenity

a year of improvement in myself, in those all around me

so, i finally decided to put myself first

as my journey followed i realised, there was always that longing thirst

for healing and for growth

this was a girl who needed care,

she needed to look after her health,

she needed to know her worth

and most importantly she needed to know her wealth

so that’s what she did

step by step

every single day

working towards her final goal which was enviably to say

i’m happy ,

despite my flaws

despite my insanity

despite my depression and my anxiety

see that statement?

for saying it i’m proud

i’m proud of how far you’ve come,

all the nights you’ve survived

all the brilliant comebacks you’ve made

the times you proved not only to yourself

but to those around you

that you could do

what you once thought was impossible

it wasn’t a walk in the park

there were relapses and rocky roads

hurdles and ultimate loss

it wasn’t at all easy

it’ll always be a constant struggle

but i know

that no matter the circumstance

you’re doing your best

so you, keep doing that

i lost someone close to me this year

this, i hadn’t forseen

one i loved so dear, departed

as easily as dust flows through a whiff of air

departed when i was vulnerable, in a state of anguish

i was not ready for change, and yet change grew near

as it’s pace quickened, panic upheld

the bricks, parts of myself, the mortar wet and weak

it slipped from beneath my thin fingers and

i crumbled under the absence of that support,

i cried because i knew it all wasn’t fair

it was proven to me

yet again

that friends are temporary

it was proven that their love

was only complimentary

many of those whom i thought i knew

proved my assumptions to be askew

and that has scared deeper than any scar i must have brewed

however i must say

that their absence brought me closer

to those that were held beneath its shadow

showed me that those around me were present

they were here

they forever cared

they showed me that i was never alone

and that i was never a burden of any sort

as a result of this

i finally learnt to share

if not everything

some things

much was revealed

i no longer felt the need to hide

or to lie

i became serene with my emotions

at one with my thoughts

allowing them to pass

allowing them to explore

i never once realised the importance of this gesture

until i picked its fruits

my pain was no longer mine

my pain was no longer pain

but a beautiful tree

concrete in its foundations

it branches grown through empathy

and it’s fruits oh so sweet,

a display of my friend’s and their beauty

their ability to heal through laughter, and their ability to love through pain

i’m forever grateful for my friends

as they are the reason i’m still standing,

that i’m still here

august is when i last held the blade

that i thought was a measure of why i deserved the pain

the many scars i’ve given myself

are the many reminders if why i’ll always forgive

fault and blame is always a struggle

but love is its enemy

so love i did

and loved i was

thankyou to 2018 for a year of recovery

“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.

This articulates something about the different between value and validation that I didn’t previously register on a conscious level.
