We only rate dogs. This is a very cozy bed bug. We advise you to get a new bed, since this one is taken, and kindly request you only send dogs. Thank you… 12/10 (TT: coldsmuckersuncrustable)

“This manuscript of yours that has just come back from another editor is a precious package. Don’t consider it rejected. Consider that you’ve addressed it ‘To the editor who can appreciate my work’ and it has simply come back stamped ‘not at this address.’ Just keep looking for the right address.” - Barbara Kingsolver

Amplify our voice. We remember together.

One of the hardest things for many CPTSD survivors to accept is the no-win situations we were put in for so long. We blame ourselves for our "bad" choices, when there were no "good" choices available-- but acknowledging that feels like a "cop out," so we pretend it was our fault.

"I don't like who I am when I engage in this relationship" is a 100% valid reason to end, or plan on ending, a relationship with a person, job, therapist, political party, or habit. You do not "owe" loyalty to relationships that harm your goals or are inconsistent w/ your values.

Survivors often walk around feeling like we're keeping all these secrets-- even if we're not quite clear what those "secrets" even are.

You need to know there is nothing that happened to you or that you struggle w/ now that is shameful-- even if you're not ready to tell anyone.
