Triggers are so random and can feel really stupid, but they are valid and you shouldn’t have to explain yourself! You can have tons of triggers, but it’s also okay if you have very few. It’s okay to call a trigger a trigger even if it’s “mild”. Being triggered by mundane things is completely okay and even common and expected—especially if your trauma is from prolonged exposure to traumatic experiences. Being affected by triggers is never something to be ashamed of. Having triggers is never something to be ashamed of. You’re not weak for avoiding your triggers and you’re not weak for having them at all. Having noticeable reactions to triggers is okay. Not having noticeable reactions to triggers is okay.

I just included what seems like the most common range for having sex for the first time (skewed older because…. It’s tumblr)
Also I mean physical sex I’m not talking about sexting your internet friends 🤨

I love talking to rabbis as a recent conversion student because the interaction goes something like, "you're converting? Now?! At this time, at this moment in history?!". And they always talk about this influx of jewish convert students they've seen recently, and it's like...
There's this level of respect I get from rabbis for converting at this point in time, but... Has there ever been a good time to be a jew in the last thousand years or so plus? I'm imagining that rabbis and jews in general back in 1492, back in 1290, back in 1349 would have said the exact same thing. So, really, there is only a time to be a jew. Maybe it's not a "good" time, yes, but it is a time. And to me, that's good enough

before i can ever have sex i need to come up with some good lies explaining why my legs are covered in scars
#walked through the perilous woods while wearing shorts#walked repeatedly into metal table corners#played soccer with a ball covered in spikes and blades#actually it’s scarification in morse code#‘what scars?’#the scars keep your laptop from overheating when you put it on your lap#it’s for Texture when someone sits on your lap

idk why people are offended when kids are like 'im aroace.' yeah, they MIGHT grow out of it. i did! i used to identify as aroace and now i dont and like SO? i was comfy and happy identifyin as aroace. i wasnt hurting anyone. i am comfy and happy now, it didnt like HARM me. and some might NOT grow out of it, and theyll find a label that fits them very young and keep it as they grow older! and be super comfy and happy! like why do you give a shit about the possibility that something COULD be a phase. its not hurting anyone either way! its just making people comfy and happy!

the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole

i feel like some people have made it far enough that they can understand “some people choose to dress covered up for religious reasons and that’s ok” but not far enough to understand “some people choose to dress covered up in general and that’s ok”
#prev genuinely. also ‘expired milk’ lmaoooo.#but yeah the way these ppl who are Trying So Hard have a list of ‘valid’ reasons to cover up is so annoying. ppl are ppl! they have autonomy#and slightly unrelated but i hate the ‘proof you survived’ thing and it’s like. ugh. no. i only like my scars because Texture and Sensory

#tw self harm#i feel like this also applies for me when i say that in certain contexts i cover up my sh scars#and ppl with be all body positivity self love at me and it’s like no. i am okay with my scars. i like them to a certain extent#but i also acknowledge that my first meeting with a business partner of my father’s is not the place or time to confess that#i’m covering up not because i’m ashamed but because i’m fitting into the context and it doesn’t make me upset! it’s okay!#i don’t like wearing low necks either. they don’t make me dysphoric or anything i just think it’s uncomfy and i like that being covered#stop yelling at me for issues you Think i have
