sometimes, i like to go back into the past and see what i was thinking 3 years ago, or 5 years ago. i went back to my year in first year, and holy shit, i was young. but the year after that - i pretty much seem like myself. at least in november :)

first of all I wanna hug you so bad rn and I'm not sure why. Because you've been through a lot or because you words really hit me, especially the part where you say one shouldn't just accept the thoughts that are destructive (at least that's how they reached me)

so, there's a sexual abuse component to it as all (i very much hesitate to call it that, because i say it was consensual. my psychiatrist actually laughed and said, no, no it wasn't.)I know what you mean there, I never called it abuse it because well I didn't fight or said actually no. I still try to wrap my mind around what my therapist told me, that no matter if you fought or not, if you said no or not, the other know should've known better...probably did know better, knew it wasn't right, that it was just absolutely and entirely wrong

we can't change the event, but we can change the interpretation.

So, so true. And our interpretation can (and will) change as we grow, and learn, and have new experiences.

Late comment is late, but I haven't been able to give this post the attention I wanted to until now.

What a powerful post. You are obviously a very smart, brave woman. I hope I can apply those thought processes to my life.

I'm sorry I didn't know about your past. Like the rest of your flist, I'm sure, I'm here to be whatever you need in a friend.
