@TiffanyHaddish thank you for speaking on this. this is absolutely insane. cannot believe the world we live in. rest easy beautiful girl, we will get your justice ❤️
+ i have a tattoo on my leg that says “no rain, no flowers” i have reminded myself of that in many of my bad days. it is no longer necessary for rain to put a damper on my parade, i just plant new seeds & wait for them to grow with me. it’s been a newly refreshing way to live❤️xx
obsessing over a specific obscure thing (i.e. music artist) for a short period of time & then realizing that you’re now uncomfortable with anything that has to do with that thing.. that’s a big way to realize you experienced trauma/grew past it. the infatuation was a void filler+
+ myself and allowing myself to be free of the fear that comes with the uncertainty that life can bring. things are always going to shift & life won’t always align with what we know, but it’s okay because we change too- & that’s such a beautiful thing to experience in the end.+
+so watching the same video/movie 300x or listening to a song for the millionth time in a day is safe. it comforted me to know that even if everything around me changed, i could control that tiny variable that i so thoroughly enjoyed. i’ve learned to start putting that time into+
+ that’s been my normal lately. i have always had the habit of short-lived obsessions & i realized i needed to find the root of what part of my brain needed comforting and why the repetition was fit for that job. repeating things isn’t risky. i knew what was coming at all times.+
+your idealizations reflect on your mental health & well being. you tend to watch sad/uneasy things when you’re low & seek uplifting content when you’re doing well. it’s all a mental mirror. so sometimes hearing a song that reminds you of old trauma can strike a sickening nerve.+
