I Love How Irrelevant Tumblr Is. Like No Celebrities On Here, No Colleagues Or Family On Here, No One’s

in 2022, someone will always be prettier. someone will always be smarter. someone will always be faster. but they will never be you.

A few weeks ago, I saw a tiktok of a person mockingly saying, “when his only ‘trauma’ is his parents getting divorced” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it for a while. It is a common idea that frustrates me beyond belief. Just because a traumatic experience is common and or not “as bad” as other traumatic experiences does not make it any less traumatic. Seeing your parents separate and having to deal with that for your entire childhood is very hard. Especially if there’s fighting and bitterness between the two parties, which, once again, is very common. Trauma is trauma. Is there different levels of severity? Yes. Does that make it any less valid. No. Not at all. No child should have to deal with trauma, even if that trauma isn’t “that bad” or common. And a person’s experience with that trauma should never be belittled.

Colleen hoover shows us every good thing about a character, romanticizes it, makes us love it, swoon over it then just when we reach a peak point and we've fallen knee deep for the character, she shows us the worst side of it and we're left utterly unraveled.

After you leave a toxic or abusive environment, a lot of normal things are going to feel weird, and just plainly awful at the beginning. Buying that thing you've always wanted can make you feel guilty for spending money on yourself. Resting can feel a lot more like being lazy. Safety and happiness can feel so temporary, almost like you are just waiting for life to get bad again.

It's normal, it's part of the process. You will get used to be at peace. To feel joy. To be safe. I know you will<3

When in doubt, go to the library.

Let’s talk about how hard it is to open up to someone for being sad for no reason. Let’s talk about how hard it is to explain to your friends and family that you have this heavy feeling in your chest for no reason. Let’s talk about how hard it is to understand why you’re having a panic attack while just taking a walk back home. Let’s talk about how hard it is to understand your own self and how scary it is to feel like the whole world is falling on your shoulders and you have no idea why.

To all the people who constantly zoned out and daydreamed as a kid and probably told off for it, who learnt how to cry silently before the age of ten and maybe stopped crying entirely, who used books as an escape method and would constantly daydream about running off to a fantasy world, who is most likely now a burnt-out neurodivergent who didn't get diagnosed early so they self-diagnosed instead, and who now wants to groan at the thought of having to wake up another day,

how's the childhood trauma, deep-rooted love hate relationship with your parents, lack of self-esteem and sense of self, and raging queerness doing? you good?
