Reminder: crying is a HEALTHY emotion. Crying for hours or even a few days means doesn’t mean you’re depressed.
We’re meant to cry when it hurts.

Most "eating disorders" aren't disorders. They're attempts at controlling the body after a childhood of betrayal, violation, and chaos. If your body was never your own, binging or restricting is survival mechanism.

Some people have NO IDEA the kind of energy it takes to function at the same time we’re staving off anxiety.
There’s a reason why there is a significant overlap between anxiety and chronic fatigue symptoms: because coping with anxiety is exhausting.

Women don't hear these things.
And they need to.
What a generation of women (finally) need to know:

Introverts hate being told what to do. They're extremely sensible, logical, and rational. They do loads of thinking before they act. Done with consequences of consequences. When you tell them what to do, they've already thought, reflected and rejected it. Like twice already.

Tsundoku, from Japanese, is the act of buying yet another book that you fully intend to read, but never quite get round to.

Instead of 30 under 30, let's talk about...
Starting over at 40. Finding yourself at 50. Getting re-married at 60.

Crazy how peaceful life becomes when you don't get attached to anything and just mind your own business, letting things unfold the way they need to without trying to control, change, or force the outcome, and enforcing your boundaries when necessary.

Trauma isn’t just what happened to you. It’s what didn’t happen to you. It’s the care you never got. It’s the protection you weren’t given when you needed it most.
Bev 🌈 retweeted
It's not a mystery why so many trauma survivors have such rich & complex internal worlds: when, for years, safety & support is nonexistent around you, you turn inward.
Also why so many survivors go on to become mind-bendingly amazing artists & writers & musicians.
