#the introspection I've done while venting to Sal over the years has def helped me gain some new perspectives

[killemwithkawaii]

Vent to your f/os.

Whine. Complain. Lament. Cry. Rage. Trauma dump. Be petty and shallow and dramatic and selfish. Repeat the same tragic biographical monolog you recited to them yesterday and the day before that. Throw a tantrum like a toddler in a grocery store because you're too upset to keep it together any longer. Tell them the things you would never say out loud. Tell them exactly why, in excruciating and graphic detail, that 'little, insignificant' thing triggered you and how it's making you feel and how you feel about feeling that way. Don't shut up until it's all out in the open.

They'll be there. They'll listen. They'll never judge you or get tired of hearing it. You'll feel a little better, and they might give you some much-needed insight in the process. Vent to your f/os.
