Eden Robinson, “Writing Prompts for the Broken-hearted”

this is so true. Especially if you're a woman; your instincts will never betray you.

“Always, always trust your first gut instincts. If you feel something’s wrong, it usually is.”

“this is the trajectory of my life. every time things are finally stable, finally good, something sudden happens to wreck it all. and then i learn to live with that… and after a while, worse-off becomes the new normal. and then it starts all over again.”

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) dir. Gil Junger

She will always be that girl, the girl who worships the hand wrapped around her neck, the fingers wrapped around her wrist to keep her from running off, kissing the same lips that scream at her for every insignificant inconvenience. She will never experience the feeling of being loved softly and being stable enough to think she is deserving of it, because she will always be the girl who finds comfort in the chaos, the girl who feels most loved with violence and abuse. But she can’t help it, she will always feel comfortable with what’s familiar. There is no escaping.

“Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once. Breathe. You’re strong. You’ve got this. Take it day by day.”

— Karen Salmansohn.

I understand that you want to be realistic that things may go wrong, but try to remember there is a line between realism and pessimism. “Things could go wrong, so I’ll make a good plan and try my best” will always be better than “Things will probably go badly so I have to assume it will be a disaster.” Don’t dwell on the worst-case scenario.

I am hungry for touch & ashamed to be looked at
