I love emotionally mature people who don't mind solitude because they befriend themselves, enjoy their own company, can be alone without feeling lonely, and don't need to be with others to escape or fill their inner void.
It's frustrating that some DC residents are still setting off fireworks at 3:30 AM. Please have some consideration for others, especially for animals who are often frightened by the noise.
Many assume that if you’re peaceful you must have had an easy life. Like baby, I went to war for this peace. I drug myself through dark nights of the soul for this peace. I shed every single thing that could go and then some for this peace. There’s been nothing easy about it.

i don't wanna "win" the argument or feel "right". that's not the point nor my objective. i wanna feel like we've come to an understanding on the issue at hand. i want both of us to walk away feeling heard and understood. it's not a competition

my toxic trait is i suffer in silence and hope someone notices i’m not myself. growing up i had to constantly be there for others but no one was ever there for me. so i learned to be “the helper” but never learned how to reach out or be helped.
