Could I please request a webweave about complex feelings on being an only child?

unfortunately i couldn't find anything specifically related to being an only child but i am also an only child and i interpreted this as being really lonely so a lot of these are related to that. i hope this is what you were looking for <33

The shame of having been wrong about him, doubled down on being wrong, on and off, for six years, was almost worse than the heartbreak. Almost.

Everyone gets their trust broken but most people find ways to do it again. This is an everyday sort of miracle. I’m just so bad at it. I am afraid. I am afraid by nature and I am afraid for reasons. I have trusted badly before. I have been held hostage by other people’s fantasies. I am constantly held hostage to my own. No matter how reassuring a new relationship is, I find myself panicking, going full-on Season One Scully. “Is this real?” I say. “Are you sure it wasn’t swamp gas?”

Here is what I learned once I began studying whooping cranes: only a small part of studying them has anything to do with the birds. Instead we counted berries. Counted crabs. Measured water salinity. Stood in the mud. Measured the speed of the wind. It turns out, if you want to save a species, you don’t spend your time staring at the bird you want to save. You look at the things it relies on to live instead. You ask if there is enough to eat and drink. You ask if there is a safe place to sleep. Is there enough here to survive?

"I need you to know: I hated that I needed more than this from him. There is nothing more humiliating to me than my own desires. Nothing that makes me hate myself more than being burdensome and less than self-sufficient. I did not want to feel like the kind of nagging woman who might exist in a sit-com."

-C.J. Hauser, from The Crane Wife

Just finished reading this amazing collection, I loved The Crane Wife when it went viral so I was really excited to get my hands on the book and super duper excited when I saw that one of the essays is called Mulder, It’s Me - academics writing about MSR will never not thrill me.

Because love is believing in your person’s reality. It’s their invisible world becoming real to you.
