superbarbs:
I’m about to give up on the idea of forever.
I don’t think I’ll fully fall in love for that very reason.

so as it turns out...
I’m still having trouble letting go. My codependent just lashed out once again because they’re having medical problems. They asked me to complete a chore. I said I would do it (it needed to be finished by the morning). They wanted it to be done immediately. Feeling no rush to do so and not wanting to do it at that moment, I said no. The lashing began.
I could tell by their tone that...

Learning about Codependency
I learned today that the #1 goal of codependents that leads to crippling unhappiness is: the endless search for something outside themselves to make them happy. I believe that this is one of the major cognitive factors that triggered my depression. When I fail or I feel loss, I immediately assume that I will be unhappy with myself.

so it begins.
I returned to tumblr for personal reasons. I write in my journal daily for about 2 hours, and one day I thought ‘what sense is there in writing if there is no one around to read it”? But I’m conflicted because my I’m trying to develop the skills to be confident in my own writing without needing validation from other people. So why write for others?
I’m beginning to...
