#self preservation

[drferox]

Listen, if you haven’t been told before, let me be the first one to tell you:

If you are working in a vet clinic alone, all by yourself, you lock the damn door.

This is especially important if you’re young and female but should apply to everybody.

It does not matter if you’re just about to open and another staff member will be there ‘soon’. It does not matter if you are expecting a client any minute now. It does not matter if it is the middle of the day because the vet is on a house call.

You are sitting, by yourself, in a building full of cash and drugs. You lock the damn door.

You can sit yourself down somewhere that you can see the door and be selective about who you let in, but otherwise you lock the damn door.

You do not want to find yourself in a FNAF situation trying to avoid the person with ill intent who walked in looking for drugs while you were out the back, or hanging up washing. You don’t want to look up after feeding a cat to realise somebody followed you in when they saw only one car in the car park.

Just lock the door.

After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment.

Start visualizing the life you want for yourself. What does it look like? What does that level of happiness feel like? How are you spending your time and who are you spending it with??

Once you have some of those answers, create a plan that'll get you there and be disciplined enough to stick to it.

You're literally the designer of your life. You can customize it to your liking.. you can remove what doesn't feel good and you can do more of what feels right.

God has given us one life and it's up to us to make sure we live up to all that we desire it to be!

So don't give up! Even if you're not where you want to be right this moment... there's still time! Stay focused and be intentional the world is yours.

I have decided- they will be together.

I just simply cannot get my brain around-what was it all for- if they do not end up together.

It was an intense work week and an intense young royals week, so when I woke up to another beautiful weather day, I decided, this is my truth. This is how I will get through this weekend.

They will be together.

“I just wanted you to know. This is the situation. This is how I feel.”

(Also I don’t think they would put all those fans in a room together with the cast and blow it all up)

Trauma Dumping is an actual thing.

I actually think trauma dumping is a thing. If people love you and can still get tired of caring for you physically (like mothers and children), why is it absurd to believe that people can love you and still get tired of caring for you emotionally?

Stop assuming people are bottomless pits of support for you. They are eventually going to get tired.

Listen, some people are not looking to be in any kind of exploitative interpersonal relationship whether it be romantic or platonic. Yes, people should be able to rely on their friends but is the reliance reciprocated or is it one-sided.?

That is why I usually avoid commenting on those "friendship these days" posts because anybody can come online and tell a story in a way that paints them in a sympathetic light. But are they actually good friends whose friends abandoned them in their time of need? Or is it a case of the other friends simply getting tired of being in a one-sided draining relationship and enforcing boundaries? We cannot know so we might want to keep our "the Internet has made the world..." comments to a minimum.

Feminists commenting on those posts are weird because we talk about women and girls actually taking care of themselves, prioritising their wellbeing and having boundaries but I guess some of you meant only in heterosexual romantic relationships. Women can exploit other women platonically and even romantically.

[Sidenote: This is why we need to abandon the man = bad and woman = good way of thinking. Yes, men almost always = bad but vice versa doesn't apply here. Women harm other women in ways that feminists sweep under the rug because men are worse.]

In conclusion, before you accuse your friends of abandoning you, it is vital to ask yourself, has the friendship really being reciprocal in terms of effort and care?

I picked up your call because despite everything I have been thinking about you. You're on my mind almost all the time. Like an extension of me. And then I saw your name flash on my screen at 1 am so how could I not? How could I not pick up? You said things that sounded crazy, that sounded not in touch with reality. Maybe I'm too simple minded for you. Maybe I'm too much of a conformist and normal person to ever truly get you. But it doesn't mean I never cared. And it doesn't mean I never loved you. Yes, I'm using past tense. Because while I'm still worried about you and will only ever send the best possible wishes and warm comfort your way, I cannot hold space for you. I do not have that in me. Not tonight. Not this week. Not this lifetime. Not anymore. And for that I feel like I have to apologise. Because I said I loved you. And that you were like family. And I gave up on you. Because family was supposed to not be this way. Family was supposed to care for me too. And you did until you didn't. And a part of me wishes that I was still that person who held on to people I loved no matter what. But the self preservation instinct that is getting stronger in me is whispering a thank you and for tonight I will have to consider that my solace.
