“If there is any potential for my eyes to water…they flood. The first time I found out about my propensity to ‘make it rain’ was while watching The Green Mile. My mother took us all to the movies when it came out and I was the only one in our unit silently sobbing during 76% of it. I did my best to hide my tears because our ‘family’ doesn’t cry. But a rogue convulsion gave me away…”

“Unfortunately, I’ve never been sure when enough is enough in relationships. That’s because it takes a lot for me to open myself up to connecting with other souls. So when a real bond is established, I never want to disconnect. The disconnections often mimic death and I’ve never been a fan.”

“In my case, my womb donor ultimately assumed the role of psychiatrist…and prescribed me gaslighting. The dosage has been significantly increased over the years, depending on the amount of clarity I achieve. That clarity counteracts the medicine, so new versions of this tranquilizer have consistently been introduced.”

“…what’s really shown from these exchanges is that there are no consequences for bad behavior. And it would’ve never gotten this bad if those put in charge of calling the plays…had the ability to use their voices when someone under their command got ‘beside themselves’. Instead…they do what their parents did…allow life to teach lessons that they’re more than capable of giving. What a complete waste of wisdom.”

“I had the privilege of watching a real truth teller speak today. And the petty part of my mind wants this post to be solely about wagging my finger in the face of those who use the “mental health issues” of others as a way of escaping the opportunity to sit in the seat of accountability.”

“They do just enough to declare they’re doing nothing at all and it is infuriating. And because I’m the only one whose been diagnosed with a mental disorder…I’m assumed to be the one with the faulty interpretation.”

“Any feeling that’s consistently felt, develops ‘pscyhe muscles’. My fear has been training for many seasons. So much so that it effortlessly carries the ton of trauma that results from me consistently being led by trepidation.“

“Before my own struggle with breaking the will of my pride, I couldn’t even imagine a world where my behavior would be considered anything other than praise worthy. My emotional navigation was always set to ‘woe is me’ mode, in the event that anyone challenged my conduct.”

“Normally, I’m too emotionally flustered to respond as a functional grown up. The communication that follows my unsteadiness is usually erratic and laced with the undertones of a temper tantrum. But now that I’m settling more into my villain era, I’m able to refrain from puffing my chest out.”

“My services were required and while serving, I was walking on landmines purposefully set in my path…daily. When said landmines exploded, I was told I should’ve watched where I was going. Yea, no.”

“It’s taken me three days to open my laptop. My two previous attempts at seeing this project to completion both ended like this. I always start up around November and never seem to make it past January.”

“For as long as I’ve lived, no one has been able to get under my skin like my twin. She knows me more than I care to give her credit for. So when she shoots her shots…it hits me every time. Vice Versa.”

“I know I’m of sound mind. But I also know that some of my beliefs go against the belief system that my family was indoctrinated into. So sharing my views, without a buffer, gave a strong impression that I was emotionally impaired.”

“Before the chats, I accepted what they told me I was seeing. And now that it’s uncomfortably obvious that they aren’t able to refocus my corrected vision, they’ve dedicated their time to refocusing the vision of the kids they’re keeping me from.”

“My frustration was in feeling the real time transmission of said lie…which misled the ears of a child that hasn’t fully developed her deductive reasoning skills. And this lie was told, solely for the shaping of this child’s perception of me.”

“Today, I discovered that the one thing I tried to avoid, to the detriment of my own mental health, happened despite my best efforts.”

“Lately, acceptance has been my life line. It helps me understand the fact that I understand nothing.“

“She was always the one taking the trips and calling me every other day with good news. While I experienced the exact opposite. But a few years ago, the playing field leveled out. Coincidently…this is also when her declaration of my mental instability appeared for the first time…“

“Today is the born day of my biological mother. Phrasing her title that way helps me disassociate from my natural inclination to hold her at a high esteem…so please forgive my passive aggression.”
