There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall.
-- Colette
(Cluj, Romania)

Else Lasker-Schüler, tr. Eavan Boland, from After Every War: Twentieth-Century Women Poets; "In the Evening"
[Text ID: “I had to do it— suddenly, I had to sing. / I had no idea why— / But when the evening came I wept. I wept bitterly. / Pain was everywhere. Sprang out of everything— / Spread everywhere. Into everything— / And then lay on top of me.”]

"Came to see me get my just deserts, huh? Are you happy now?"
"Happy? Do I look happy to you? What do you take me for? No matter how angry I've been, I never wanted you to suffer like this."

me: is in any space with other people around
me: well if anyone in this room actually cared for me or wanted me around they would have personally broken into the house I lived in circa 5-20 years ago and rescued me from the abuse or at the vERY LEAST they would have been there for me to periodically reassure me that I am right and my abusers are wrong and that I'm not a horrible person or a waste of space every time my self perception would start to waver to the abuser's point of view. This is a sham and none of these people are based. I'm going home.

To be a Christian is to forgive the inexcusable, because God has excused the inexcusable in you.

Anger and bitterness are two noticeable signs of being focused on self and not trusting God's sovereignty in your life. When you believe that God causes all things to work together for good to those who belong to Him and love Him, you can respond to trials with joy instead of anger or bitterness.
John C. Broger

TIRFs treat transmascs like fuckin' dogs. They expect us to come running when they call, to defend them against our mutual enemies, to bear their sorrow and rage and never ask for anything in return. All this I would do and happily if they didn't abuse us at every turn. Every trans women positivity post is followed up by OP ranting about those uppity TRAs.

FCG, whose group definitely won the “unexpected mini road-trip” competition: We met a king and a queen 😃
Ashton, who definitely lost: It’s not a competition

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”
Kurt Vonnegut.
