Some of my best moments of healing came when I started to understand some of these snippets of wisdom from others:

People can only perceive what they know.

Comprehension is also a part of communication. If they can't comprehend what you're saying then there is no point in wearing yourself out.

There is a big difference in "listening to respond" vs "listening to be right" and most people do not understand this.

Most people on social media aren't looking to have healthy communication. They're looking to argue. Find other places for conversation outside of the comments section.

People cannot tell you how you're feeling. That is information only you have access to. They are projecting themselves onto you.

People often hide behind projection when theyre hurt. Don't take things personally.

Emotionally immature people cannot understand the difference between communicating vs reacting.

What's the difference?

Communicating = listening with intent to understand

Reacting = allowing the perceived threat to dominate the mood

Triggers can also show us parts of ourselves that are unhealed and in need of attention. Though it is never okay to force yourself to "work through them" if you do not relate.

"There is always more work to do" = this is a lifelong process. Don't try to rush it so hard.

Breaks are allowed and actually necessary in order to catch up.

"Trust in yourself & trust in the process" = you know what's best for you. Nobody else should be telling you how to live your life.

"Do something else" = your sanity is in danger if you don't learn how to step away from the stress. Don't ignore your mind & body asking for a break.

"Life is not a game" = take yourself and your health seriously.

It's normal to seek chaos while recovering. Sometimes we are hard wired for chaos due to the nature of our traumas. Healing can leave you feeling "boring" and that's normal.

Recovery can also be reflected in our outward appearances. "As I grew inward, my outward appearance changed too." The changes we make inside can have a very deep impact on the way we take care of ourselves and the way we project that outwardly through our appearance. Sometimes negatively, sometimes positively. It can fluctuate and change just like we do.

You're not alone. I guarantee you, whatever it is you're going through- there's a community out there for it.

Sometimes you will never know how to move forward. These are the moments that require the most kindness and compassion you can find.

There is such a huge awkward transitionary phase between "I'm stuck repeating old habits" vs "oh okay, I've learned enough to move on now, but I don't want to give up my old identity and now I'm even more panicked than I've ever been in my entire life what the fuck is happening please help me" and this is so fucking normal.

When that happens, just be as kind and patient as you can be. The old parts are in need of patience. They are clinging for a reason. Maybe the closure long forgotten? Maybe the underlying issues finally able to be spoken out loud and addressed? Give them the safety of knowing they are safe, well loved, and that you're still gonna be you in all that you are when they're ready to put those burdens down.

Change doesn't look good at first. At first it feels like ripping your skin off. There's a subtle power in allowing it to feel uncomfortable and doing it anyway. You can tap that power just by waking up and staying committed.

"You're stronger than you think, give yourself some kudos, you're worth the effort to heal." These are all words that others have said to me. Take the positive words that ppl give you and use them to your advantage. They're actually not bullshitting you. They actually really do want you to succeed. Draw on them to get you there.

In the same vein, ask trusted ppl what they think your strong points are. I've had ppl tell me "you're resourceful. You're strong in how you advocate for yourself." It can help to hear these types of things. It's okay to ask!

Communicating - Irina Nordsol Kuzmina

Most human relationships consist mainly of minds interacting with each other, not of human beings communicating, being in communion. No relationship Can thrive in that way, and that is why there is so much conflict in relationships.

See the thing is, the umbro shirt felt significant this morning (like he’s been here too long to not know what the reactions would be). And like I was kinda waiting for Louis to wear umbro tonight and when he didn’t I was like well maybe these things really don’t mean anything anymore (which would be fine btw, I don’t spend my days looking for. Clues). And then he went and sang 7. And maybe it’s a coincidence you know. But it feels like one of those coincidences of the good old days. It just felt good I guess. Maybe I’m wrong and delusional. But it makes me smile.

I think the way they communicated with us for so many years was a way they found to validate their relationship for themselves somehow, if they do something and we see it, it's an acknowledgement of that situation. And I think this was a very big deal for them when they were younger and needed to figure out how to deal with closeting and all. So, to be honest, I think it's only natural that they grew up and rearranged things in that sense and have different priorities and maybe realised how their privacy is more important for their relationship now.

But I mean, they're the same people, this obviously is not a coincidence, they know what they're doing. I don't know if they do these things nowadays because they still feel like they need to, for themselves, or just because they want to make larries feel a tiny bit better after punching us with so much stunt bullshit. Regardless, this is a thing, of course it is, anon. And we're still here, and it made me smile as well.

·˚ ༘ nurturing effective communication *ೃ༄

whether it's in personal or professional settings, strong communication skills are key to building healthy, thriving relationships.

active listening: practice the art of active listening by giving your full attention to the speaker, maintaining eye contact, and nodding or providing verbal cues to show that you're engaged. refrain from interrupting and resist the urge to formulate your response while the other person is speaking.

assertiveness: assertiveness is about expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in a clear, respectful manner, while also respecting the rights and boundaries of others. use "i" statements to communicate your perspective without placing blame or judgment on the other person.

empathy: cultivate empathy by putting yourself in the other person's shoes and seeking to understand their perspective, feelings, and experiences. validate their emotions and show empathy through your words and actions, even if you may not agree with them.

nonverbal communication: be mindful of your body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice, as these nonverbal cues can convey as much—if not more—than your words. strive to align your nonverbal communication with your verbal messages to ensure clarity and congruence.

conflict resolution: when conflicts arise, approach them with a solution-oriented mindset and a willingness to compromise. focus on finding common ground, exploring each other's needs and interests, and working together to reach a mutually beneficial resolution. practice active listening and empathy during conflicts to foster understanding and collaboration.

practice, practice, practice: like any skill, communication skills improve with practice. seek out opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations, receive feedback from others, and reflect on your communication style and areas for growth.

remember, communication is a two-way street, so be open, be honest, and be ready to connect!

This whole “ if you loved me you’d understand my silence “ is such bullshit only a hopeless romantic would say.

I’ve tried it. I’m the hopeless romantic. It doesn’t work.

Tell people what’s wrong with you. Tell people what you expect from them. Tell people what doesn’t work for you. Tell people. That’s how they’d know. Communicate. Period.
