“Finding a partner that triggers your trauma, but creates a different outcome, is one of the most efficient ways to re-pattern trauma.”
I believe our life-long quest to find a romantic partner, is not only to evolutionarily reproduce, but also a subconscious urge to heal.
Finding a partner that triggers your trauma, but creates a different outcome, is one of the most efficient ways to re-pattern trauma. "He is

I genuinely do not understand why people are so harshly dunking and memeing on this. Like I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea to track and share notes/to do lists together, but why the vitriol and intense disgust

whether it's shitposting or naval-gazing, underlying there is the desire to feel seen, even if just by the vague possibility of one person glancing for a moment

Basically, just as you can train your ear as a musician and train your eye as a photographer, you can train your sensitivity to other human beings. (It’s all connected, too, but that’s another story)
The central insight is probably... “it’s not about you.”

I will never take up arms against myself.

Repeat after me, if you feel like it:
Life is hard, and full of rejection and failure.

- I went stargazing

- went on a morning hike
- was invited to a beach day
- had home made ramen & brunch

- attended a mid-day coworking session
all with people I met/opportunities I found from twitter

I’m turning 30 in a few months and one of my friends asked me how I feel about it. I was a bit surprised at my genuine excitement for it. I feel like entering my 30s is more representative of how I feel inside right now. calmer, wiser than I was before
Distinct difference between being a wanderer in your 20s, and being one in your 30s.
Aesthetic and vibe shift is profound.

my relationship with myself is one of the most important things. it's less about being rewarded by God or others and more about being able to feel right and well within my own life. and i think that having integrity is the only real path to that for myself.

I’ve learned that a healthy relationship does not involve two “fully healed people”. It involves ppl who can individually self-regulate, ask for support & sincerely offer support
this is the basis of love, respect & healthy intimacy
