Figuring out the flowers I want to add to my tattoo. So far, maybe....

Gladiolas
Carnations
Hyacinth
Sunflower
Roses (of course)
Hibiscus (Duh)

I need to find out what my mother-figure's favorite flowers were. There's gonna be a ton of smaller flowers scattered in the design too, so probably more.

The art I've been looking at & sharing here has really been really making me want to draw again. For real this time. Hmmmm.....

I'll sleep on it, official bedtime for me.

Autumn is safe tonight, but YOU can make a big difference and a holiday miracle for 2 people in need. Instead of scrambling at the last moment for shelter in the morning, if we work NOW, we can keep them safe for a week til dad can pay for 2.

Dad on 12/17 can pay 2 weeks shelter since no van. Meaning if we can make week by Wed 11am, that gives us 3 weeks of shelter! 3 Weeks! The daily is needed, the weekly would be godsend!

0/100 1 Day
0/550 3 WEEKS

If you allow the people in the past who hurt you to prevent you from trusting or furthering things with someone new.....then you're allowing those people to still hurt you. Even now.

The whole point was to force you in a corner, a weakened state, and make you suffer alone.

Turn the fucking tables.

Absolutely true. I experience this constantly.
“You’re still hurt by that? That was a long time ago!”

Not to a nervous system. Abusive behavior puts a brain on constant alert to send warning so it doesn’t happen again. It was a long time ago for the perpetrators, but survivors remember & experience it like it was yesterday.

"A strike against another is a strike against the self" is what one of my Tarot cards says. I agree.

Unless it's pure self defense or pure defense of another who actually needs it (which fun fact: IS positive intent), ALL shitty intentions return to those who dish it out. Doesn't have to be magick.
I really don't like talking about my spiritual beliefs too much publicly, but friendly Wiccan reminder that using the Craft for harmful, selfish, petty purposes WILL come back on the caster.

Not just three-fold. But sometimes, ten-fold. I've witnessed it.

It ain't pretty. Just not worth it.

Or not having those that caused the traumas brought to justice.....
To understand the life of a person with cPTSD, is to understand they’ve experienced multiple traumas and after each one, people taught them how to adapt to that pain, rather than making the traumas stop.

You don't ruin good things, by the way. Just in case you have Trauma Brain f*cking w/ you today to the tune of "you ruin everything you touch." It does that-- & it doesn't actually care if you ruin things.

It's just trying to get you to feel like garbage. It does that.

I didn't know the 2000s Appleseed movie got a new dub?? Not bad, kinda expressed the emotions of the characters better.... I just couldn't unhear Briareos sounding just like Solid Snake...... XD Did David Hayter voice him????

I just finished what may possibly be my BEST sticker-craft. Like not even kidding, if this is not my best project then it is certainly up there.

It is a birthday gift for a certain someone, so I can't show it to anyone or upload it until after that day. But it's worth the wait, for real..... ~_^✨

I'm too grown to engage in drama. And I may have alot of insecurities, but I'm still too secure to feel threatened by low-vibrationals.
Ever get the feeling someone is trying to provoke you? Lmao. XD

Heard this today.....

"With compassion, comes strength."

(I view snakes as very compassionate creatures. I'm not afraid of them or grossed out by them at all. I'm a Snake in the Lunar Zodiac, makes sense..... ^_^)

I never really talked about what B did to me. Any time I did, it was always blamed on me, and/or something extreme would happen to me. (Like being threatened to be sent to a mental facility.)

So that's why I always get flustered and stumble over my own words when I talk about that. I was silenced.
Often one of the most supportive things someone can do for a CPTSD survivor is patiently sit w/ them as they take their time finding their words through the haze of dissociation & internal "noise," staying open & gently attentive, not pressuring the conversation forward.

I'm starting to have nightmares again, too..... Had one last night. I'm honestly afraid to sleep tonight.

But I have a new project that I'm looking forward to. So I best rest up.....

........I just wish I wasn't alone right now. Sigh.

TFW you go to the grocery store, and someone you've had bad vibes about for a while just wanders on by you in the same aisle you're in at the grocery store.......

And that someone did something VERY TERRIBLE to you..........

Not trying to convince anyone, but that is why I DON'T question my gut.
