the βdid you have lunch? itβs alright, just have dinner a little early!β kind of friendships. the βare you in the mental space to listen right nowβ kind of friendships. the βiβll just send a voice note for laterβ kind of friendships. friendships where you respect each otherβs emotional boundaries. friendships where you remind them to have lunch but make sure you are not burdening them with it. friendships where you communicate. friendships where you are on your own individual journeys but are navigating life together. friendships which help you grow. healthy friendships. i think we have talked much about the pain of losing a friend. letβs also talk about the joy of having one.

One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won't let you be anything less. They see the potential of you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.

i crave friendship more than i crave a relationship. i crave sleepovers and taking turns watching our favorite movies. i crave game nights- both irl and online. i crave the feeling of knowing that even if i was delusional about a toxic situation, they would snap me out it and vice versa. i crave those late night talks about serious things and about absolutely nothing. i crave the support and encouragement we would give each other and the jealousy we wouldnβt feel towards each other. i crave a circle where no one gets left behind. i crave times where we just meet up at someoneβs house and just chat while we each pick up a task of making food together and eat together. iβ¦ want to belong. more than anything.

These pages from The Borderline Personality Workbook by Daniel J. Fox, PhD. are useful to me. My therapist has been trying to help me build an awareness of how to sense who is good or bad for me. I've made enough progress in my treatment that BPD is no longer on my file, however, I'm glad I decided to disregard labels and see if anything in this book resonates. :)

It seems like many people do not realize that in any kind of lasting relationship - romantic, platonic, familial, and so forth - a bond is not something you simply form and then it's there and it's solid forever; it's something that must be maintained through your interactions with that person.
It can be dismantled, piece by piece, through hurting one another, whether by intention or by accident; but it can also be put back together if both people care enough and try enough.

your chicago is the person who makes you feel like home, who is always there to show up when you need them.
when you're with them you forget your problems. with them, your heart is at ease and your mind at peace.
who's your chicago?

Daily reminder <3
Whenever you feel too lazy to get up to wash your face, or too lazy to remove make-up or apply cream, drink water, etc. Tell yourself this βIΒ΄ll do this for myself, because I am a princess, I am a queen, I am a goddess and I deserve to be treated as suchΒ for the simple fact that I exist and that treatment must come first from me to me β. And I swear it works!! and youΒ΄ll feel very very well.Β
You deserve all the good things life has to offer <3Β

If Someone:
Makes you feel unwanted
Letβs you down all the time
Makes you feel unloveable
Keeps making jokes on your behalf
Makes you feel Bad in any way
Keeps ignoring/ghosting you
Letβs you think you canβt even trust yourself
Then the person isnβt supposed to be in your life and isnβt worth wasting your time and energy to.
Cut them off and focus on yourself even if you are scared to be lonely, itβs better and healthier for you than being with the wrong people for too long.

[Image description: Book and album cover for "Woody's 20 Grow Big Songs: Woody & Arlo Guthrie And the Guthrie Family." The cover art includes a photo of Woody Guthrie standing in front of a microphone, strumming a guitar, with several of the watercolor sketches of different people that Woody Guthrie had painted, scattered across the background. Description ends.]
So -- When his kids were little, Woody Guthrie made a book of songs for them, all about the pleasures and troubles of being a little kid. In 1992, the songbook was published as a hardcover, along with a music CD. I don't care that some reviewers think the album is a disaster,* I love it. And this is one of my favorites:
Don't you push me down! (lyrics)
[Chorus:
Don't you push me, push me, push me.
Don't you push down! (x2)]
You can play with me.
You can hold my hand.
We can skip together
Down to the pretzel man.
You can wear my mommy's shoes,
You can wear my daddy's hat.
You can even laugh at me.
But don't you push me down!
No!
[Chorus]
You can play with me.
We can build a house.
You can take my ball
And bounce it up and down.
You can take my skates
And ride them all around.
You can even get mad at me.
But don't you push me down!
No!
[Chorus]
You can play with me.
We can play all day.
You can use my dishes
If you'll put them away.
You can feed me apples,
And oranges, and plums.
You can even wash my face.
But don't you push me down!
No!
[Chorus x2]
*(Woody was an untrained musician, and his family trying to sing along with a recording of him comes out rough)
