A reflection.

Just some random thoughts that need some space.... driving home last night I was thinking about how his love is healing. He's witnessing, validating, and pouring back into me. My actions, hobbies, interests aren't just novel to him. He sees me and loves me....not to change me but to love me.

I hate

i hate that my brain will just go into survival mode. i know it's years of abuse and ptsd related. i hate that there's a switch that flips and i try so hard to flip it back and struggle. i don't want to second guess every move, i don't want to walk on eggshells. i can't unhear the inflection your voice change. i hate being scared. i'm trapped in mocked scenarios of people that never hurt me; a sort of ghost imprint, echoing from the pain and abuse. pulling every stop, trying not to self sabotage. tears, as the transition from flight to freeze lock in and get jumbled up.

The character of these men is admirable, to say the least.... the most recent is my boyfriend the other men are friends. They have all put in the work (therapy) to be in that space. The healed part of them is what they show when they interact with women that gave them their children. It is truly a point to recognize and yet another place to appreciate my boyfriend.
