Diaries of a Borderline: Ep. 2

 It's 11/11. I love angel numbers. I love the color deep red, the one that looks like a pool of blood staining your fanciest white shirt. I love short nails with fun designs in jewel tones. I love maximalism. I love bags with lots of keychains. I love glitter. I love snickerdoodle cookies. I love stuffed animals and teddy bears. I love fur. I love animal print. I love tiny things. I love the color pink. every shade of it. I love so many things. I have so much love. Why can't I take a little bit of that love and give it to myself? Why is it so hard to accept and tolerate myself? I can't be that awful. There are people who accept me. Who tolerate me and my presence. Even if they're pretending, at least they're there. So why can't I do the same? Why can't I even pretend?

CSA: Child Sexual Assault/Abuse

  Hey there, baddies! Today we're discussing CSA (child sexual assault/abuse). What is CSA? CSA is sexual activity between a child and an adult, adolescent, or older child. If an adult engages with a child sexually, then that is sexual abuse.  How do you know if you or someone around you is being sexually abused? Ask yourself these questions (if you're concerned for someone else, pretend you're asking them). Does an older person touch you in ways that make you uncomfortable? Does an older person show you inaproppriate pictures or videos? Does an older person take inappropriate pictures or videos of you? Does an older person talk about inappropriate or uncomfortable topics with you? Does an older person force you to look at or touch their genitilia? Does an older person look at or touch yours? Does an older person engage in sexual contact with you (ie. oral sex, penetration, touching)? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you or someone else is most likely being se...

Love, Infatuation, & Limerence

Hey, baddies! Today, I'm talking about love, infatuation, and limerence. Let's start by defining each of these words. What is love? That's a TWICE song. Seriously, though. Google defines love as an intense feeling of deep affection. Love can mean many things to many people. There are several types of love, as well. The ancient Greeks had 8 types of love:  Eros (sexual passion) Philia (deep friendship) Ludus (playful love) Agape (love for everyone) Pragma (longstanding love) Philautia (love of the self) Storge (family love) Mania (obsessive love) They felt as though the word love was overused and used loosely, so they had 8 words for love, one for each type. I honestly agree with this. People use the word love so loosely that we will use the same word to describe our liking for food and to describe our affection, dedication, and adoration for a soulmate.  What is infatuation? Infatuation is intense (but short-lived) obsession and admiration. Some people confuse infatuation f...

An Update

Hello, baddies. This post is going to just be an update on my life. It's been over a month since I've uploaded anything. I went through a lot within that time. I fell into a depressive episode that I thankfully got out of. Ramadan started. I recently reconnected with an old friend. I'm still unable to travel. I got my first commission order. Things are pretty much okay. I hope this lasts. I'm not a big fan of this strange, boring, neutral feeling, but it's better than depression. I haven't had a manic or euphoric episode in forever. I don't like that. I know this is for the best. But it still hurts.  I just want to give a shoutout to everyone that's helped me and talked to me in the past few weeks. I really appreciate all of you. Thank you. Bye.
