Hey gaf, hope you're living you're best life! Yesterday i found an old folder full of picture of your wrinkly cat while trying to make space in my pc. Do you have new(ish) pictures ?

Omg, I love that!! I will see what I have (and post tomorrow) but it will just be what mum has sent me since I've moved 😥

@tastygoldentaters I did the opposite, which again, I didn't realise until a long time after it, but I went through a phase where I would test men but in a way that would almost make it impossible for them to pass. I would undress in a window where I knew a man could see me, then get mad and feel vindicated when he admitted to seeing me - not watching, but seeing. Right when I moved in with Ron I was getting something out of my car while his sister's husband was behind me and bent over too far in a dress. Bless him, afterwards he basically told me "don't do that because people might see too much". I was so thrown off and annoyed by his respectfulness at the time (before I realised what I myself was doing) hahaha

Fun* thing I learned in my latest session with my psychologist that I think other SA survivors might not realise just like I didn't.

*it's not that fun

I have truly impressive self esteem issues and have always considered myself the "ugly friend" something I have not managed to shake even after this realisation BUT. it was definitely significant for me to learn this.

When a man treats my friend as attractive, I consider it complimentary

When I perveive a man to see me as attractive, I consider it a threat

Anonymous asked:

Iirc you used to watch NCIS, yes? Did you know they did a trial short season of a Sydney spinoff? It was actually pretty good too

I did used to watch religiously, until I could no longer ignore the way they destroyed Tony's character.

That's surprising to me, that the Sydney one was good. For one thing, Aus TV to me is pretty consistently blech, and I guess for another I have like no faith in NCIS writers at this point haha

@rainydaydecaf this especially gets to me because it addresses a few worries of mine

First, that I very regularly deal with guilt over not being as active anymore. My tumblr and especially my Ace Fam got me through some of the hardest points of my life. Before I met Ron I was probably in one of the lowest points of my life ever and I genuinely wonder if I would be here today not only if I met him, but if I didn't have my online family there to begin with. Without Ace Fam but also just the online family in general I may not have managed to get to the point that I'm at now. I have never stopped being grateful for what the Ace Fam has done for me, but it has also made me very guilty about the fact that I'm barely online anymore.

I want to be consistently online still and be regularly interacting with everyone because not only do I miss everyone, I truly understand the importance of everyone who has ever interacted with me. But also now that I am doing so much better, I'm spending so much more time in the real world, which is so good for me... but so often now I feel I don't have the time to be online for anything else and it makes me upset because I love you guys, I have always loved you guys so much, and it scares me, not being so consistently around to connect with everyone.

I love everyone and though I know I am still constantly changing, every single one of you has effected my personal growth and will continue to do so.

Ron and I (both very time challenged) figured out today we've probably known each other close to five years. We also agreed it's felt more like one year.

On an unrelated note I'm so in love. I'm in the type of love I genuinely thought wasn't real before I met him. I'm so lucky.
