My coworker of 5 years, upon seeing me with my violin case: [Scarlett], you gotta stop revealing new skills and talents that I didn't know you had!
Me, reflecting that this particular coworker doesn't know about my history of equestrianism, the beading classes I took in middle school, my track record with a pottery wheel, or my skill with a piping bag: I don't think I can do that, actually.
My coworker: Yeah, that's probably fair.

thinking about captain xiao saying that lu guang treats cheng xiaoshi like a child and qiao ling replying that lu guang is more mature and about how xiaoshi was forced to grow up too fast for his age and take care of himself after his parents had left him so he never got to enjoy his childhood and now with lu guang he can finally allow himself to act childish and carefree without a worry because he trusts lu to always look out for him all the while for the same reasons surely loving the attention and care shown by lu whenever he 'babies' him or scolds him for his brat-ish behaviour

My goal in life at the moment is making a book accurate Dracula adaptation one day... because there is no way that they're all just so bad (I'm talking about the one with Winona Ryder) (I have no idea about the others but they're probably better)

my guilt over the way i handled things so badly in my early 20s is only eclipsed by my rage toward the those who encouraged me to make the wrong decisions. those who enabled my ugliest flaws. i don't blame the people who were too scared to say anything. but those who pressured me into being WORSE i have no respect for.
in the end i should have trusted my instincts and known better. i should have picked better people to hang out with from the start, even, so the responsibility was wholly my own

Talked about this in a tag rant, but in mental health advocacy spaces or mental health awareness spaces, it is imperative that we stop treating cognitive behavioural therapy as the Only Option or the Best Option. As a survivor, having CBT therapists coach me through ongoing abuse was very unhelpful at best. At a certain point, going to my "mind palace" did not help me go home to a place that was a threat to me.
Yes, there are good uses for CBT. No, that doesn't mean that it is the only option for helping people who are struggling. It is dangerous to prop up CBT as the only option. It is dangerous to not inform a patient about all treatment options and what would look best for them (it's also dangerous how insurance may only cover CBT therapists, too. It is extremely dangerous.)
