4 things my girlfriend does that heals my inner child

++ and why i'm telling you !

1. she shows up without being asked too

i own and operate a small business almost entirely on my own. i am in charge of my own social media marketing, creating and crafting my products and shipping out orders. my girlfriend has a decently sized instagram account, because she is very good at the hobby she does. never have i directly asked her to share some of my posts, or promote my work and yet, she has. every time without fail-- whether i have a market, i make a silly reel, or i'm announcing a new product-- she shares it with her followers. she supports me loudly, and shows up to support me and my business in the only way she can whilst we're long distance.

2. my interests are encouraged, never shamed

i'm a they of many interests and hobbies. i'm a crafter, a trinket collector, a k-pop fan-- you name it, i've probably dabbled in it at least briefly.

during my upbringing, my interests were often put off due to my family being busy, uninterested or simply just not wanting to hear. as an autistic person, i struggled with understanding how to connect with others who didn't share similar interests, and at times felt abandoned and hurt when people would laugh or poke at the things that made me happy.

but my girlfriend? she asks what i'm crafting, asks about the popmart series i'm most in-love with, and most recently told me she listens to my ult group just to familiarize herself with their discography.

3. arguments ≠ yelling

yelling was, and still is, a constant in my life. especially during my early childhood, it's apart of the reason i'm sensitive to loud noises as an adult now. and honestly, as sad as it may sound, i never expected to find a partner who didn't yell at me. i thought that's how couples communicated.

in the years i've known this girl, i can't count the number of times she's yelled at me angrily on one hand. why? because she never has.

of course, my girlfriend and i are people at the end of the day. we disagree, we argue, we butt heads-- but we never yell. we never try to create an unsafe environment to make the other feel scared into agreeing.

4. reassurance and communication. 

plain and simple. reassurance and communication are truly the foundation for any relationship. it's taken us awhile to learn what works and trust there has been countless of times where something worked for one of us, but not the other-- or a technique that worked for awhile only to stop as we grew and changed.

but what held our bond together was the reassurance that we were both safe with each other. the communication that, despite the rocky road of figuring out how to be the first in both our families to have a healthy relationship, we are on that together.

now, why am i telling you all this?

because i want people to know. i want people to know that love can be safe, love should be safe. love should never be fear, or have to be earned. no matter who you are, what you look like, or how you were raised. my upbringing instilled a lot of harmful ideals into my nervous system, made me believe things about myself that were never true and worst of all-- made me scared to let myself be loved.

i want each and every one of you to know that you'll find your person. you'll find the person who makes you laugh like your a child again, the person who helps you feel safe when everything in you wants to run back to bad habits, the person who helps you remember that love should never be conditional.

and until then, love yourself <3

Hey love, your blog is amazing!❤️ Could you give me advice on how not to be jealous? I compare myself to others.

Hi love! Thank you so much <3

Here are my tips:

Realize envy is a waste of energy: Being jealous of someone else, their possessions, relationships, or life doesn't change your circumstances. Ultimately, jealousy wastes your brain space on trying to dissect someone else's life versus working on improving your own

Forgo a scarcity mindset: Dispel the notion that there's a finite amount of positive opportunities in the world. While certain specific offers, items, or individuals' attention might be limited, consider how those options are a few out of an infinite amount of other experiences, pleasures, and connections out in the world

Use jealousy as a tool for self-reflection: Consider why you're jealous of a certain person/what they have in their life. Self-reflect to see what triggers you, and uncover the deeper why behind this envy

Redirect your jealousy to set yourself up for satisfaction: Once you understand why you're jealous of someone else, you can use this information to create a blueprint/set of goals & action plan to help you get this core emotional need met/acquire your own version of the possession/opportunity you're jealous. Use this energy to help and learn more about yourself, not waste your critical thinking skills/dampen your mood based on someone else's life and factors you can't control

Hope this helps xx
