whee?
If you adore someone who is intentionally blocking you from forming healthy connections with others -- or even unintentionally blocking you -- do not accept it. Your freedom is not a burden to others and it enables you to shine the light of your best self upon this world.

“The crappy life I’ve had health wise, that’s been nothing man. That’s just been a shadow to what I’ve been doing, I don’t even see it, nobody sees it. It’s all about the music.”
tfw you're staring at your video chat hangout window & wondering if anybody's gonna show up & all you see is yourself.
i'm learning to host large virtual "parties". but as much as i like technology and connecting with my friends in new ways, the various inherent technological challenges certainly can be frustrating.
i used to find this irritating & condescending, particularly since the announcement that i should forgive didn't ever come from a person who had asked what specific actions i still considered unforgiveable.
once i started researching PTSD and healing from trauma, i discovered that there isn't actually any compelling evidence that forgiving a person who severely abused / raped / molested / etc etc is reliably helpful to the healing process. this "you should forgive" thing primarily comes not from science but from religion. but even some christians believe that the bible doesn't obligate you to forgive because the decision to forgive is up to their god.
"Pseudo-spirituality has made forgiveness a marker of personal virtue. If you forgive, then you know you are enlightened. Deepak Chopra describes forgiveness as the “recognition that actions that are perceived as hurtful or wrong are the perspective of the small ego mind, not the higher self.” If you perceive an assault on yourself and your body as too wrong to forgive, you are being small-minded.
This attitude ignores that the choice not to forgive can come from a place of strength. It can represent a legitimate response to an offender’s continuing actions and place in society. The absence of forgiveness implies neither desire for revenge nor lack of enlightenment, and assuming otherwise minimizes what forgiveness really means."

I hope it might help eventually, but right now it's just about finding a way to pay for school. I decided I really liked environmental science but then funding to NOAA got cut so hopefully this can…
Agree with your post.
