#StuckInThePast

Date: February 1 I see them laugh, live, and move on, While I’m trapped in shadows of a haunting dawn. How do they smile, pretend it’s all fine? I’m stuck in that moment, lost in the line.

I love making characters ‘Stuck In The Past’ and no I don’t mean making them close-minded, ew. ‘Stuck In The Past’ as in they love b&w silent movies, ‘Stuck In The Past’ as in they still listen to music through vinyls, ‘Stuck In The Past’ as in as a kid this character grew up with their grandma who was a die-hard Frank Sinatra fangirl and so now their music taste consists of 50s love songs they are incredibly fond of. That type of ‘Stuck In The Past’.

The Paths We Take: Chapter 14- Gryffindor Courage- Up Now :)

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini/Ginny Weasley

Synopsis: When a simple bet during a year end field trip to a muggle museum goes terribly wrong, four students find themselves unwillingly thrown through time by an ancient amulet. Can they work together long enough to survive the multiple time periods, or will they fall victim to the horrors of the past and remain there…forever?

Preview: 

“So, Blondie” Ginny chirped as she fiddled with the bottom of her tank top, “when were you going to tell us you could produce a Corporal Patronus?”

All eyes turned to the Slytherin, who was caught off guard, as his gaze lingered back and forth between the three.

“H-How did you-”

“Mione checked your wand after Julia found it in the woods” the redhead answered before Draco had a chance to finish his question. “And then Julia told us she saw it was an Owl.”

“A Eurasian Eagle Owl actually…” he smiled proudly while lowering his gaze to his hands. “And it was the first one I ever created…I-I didn’t even think it was possible…”

“Well I’m positive we all would love to see it one day” Ginny smirked happily. “I’m sure it was beautiful.”

“It was…” he claimed softly before looking at Hermione, who appeared extremely proud of him. However, a rustling in the trees behind Ginny and Blaise, startled the Slytherin Prince so much he feared he was about to be captured again, and began to panic while trying to scramble away.

You are the reason ...

You are the reason why I love waking up at 3am 

You are the reason why I’m excited going to school at 8am

You are the reason why I look so stupid smiling on my phone

You were my Analgesic when I’m in excruciating pain

You made my heart beat faster, a rush of Adrenaline

You are the coffee I need in the morning

You are my lucky charm

and

I feel blessed to have you in my life.

You gave me a chance to show you my world, 

You gave me so many reasons to be happy,

and continue to live.

Y E T

You are the reason why I don’t want to get up every morning

You are the reason why I can’t focus in school

You are the reason why I kept playing sad songs

You are the reason why I feel lost

You are the reason why I’m crying

You are the reason why I don’t want commitments

You ... whom I love the most,

shattered my heart into pieces.

You ... left me..

and

I’m still here stuck in the past.

I feel as though this is time sensitive, but I don’t want to abuse the power. Please use your judgement here as I don’t want to butt in front of anyone else.

Anyways.. I’ve been in a relationship for going on 5 years (to make this less confusing we’ll call them 1) just as this relationship was blossoming on a long distance basis I was also dating another person (2). This person was careless and directionless and it scared me despite my feelings, I didn’t go about ending things correctly and it actually made me sick but I thought my life with (1) was what I needed and wanted even though I caught myself saying one day I wanted to marry them (2) as things progressed in my current relationship (1) I started to forget about (2) and went on with my life. Now, over the years my regret has done nothing but grow and (2) has become a figure in my dreams and reality - haunting me for my mistakes. To make matters worse this person is in my home town and I’m in the city just outside of it - an hour away. Keep in mind I don’t drive or have access to transport to even see (2) so no, I have not physically or emotionally cheated. My current relationship with (1) is falling apart and has been for it’s own reasons for years. To the point where I recently quit my job and almost moved back to my home town to be with family. That’s when (2) really started popping into my head. It got to the point where I’d silently cry myself to sleep every night next To (1) about losing (2)… I know I sound selfish and evil, but I can’t help my feelings. I know this is so vague but in your opinion, what should I do? I have the option to end things with (1) but it would include giving up a lot of my life including a long relationship, a dog and a home. I could go back to my hometown but i feel like I’d be running into the arms of no one. I know the sexual attraction between myself and (2) has not vanished - and when I recently broke down and explained how sorry I was for what I did in The past (2) told me they always had a spot in their heart for me.. I just feel sick and stuck and this was my last resort. Even a personal message would Be awesome here .. thanks. #stuckinthepast

Hi there,

I don’t think you’re selfish or evil. I think you’re confused about how you feel. First thing, if you’re not happy in your current relationship and you have no interest in trying to fix it or you can’t fix it, you need to end it. There’s no point in you both being unhappy in a relationship that isn’t going anywhere. Once you’ve ended it, feel free to explore the residual feelings you have for your ex. However, it is possible that you’re creating an ideal version of this person to convince yourself that you made a mistake by leaving them for your current relationship. This could be a subconscious mechanism that you’re using because your current relationship isn’t providing the satisfaction that you thought it would. Therefore, it’s important to remember that even if you end your current relationship, it doesn’t mean you have to go back to the other person. There are more options for you than just these two people. If you have outgrown both of them, there’s no need to try and force them to fit into your life.

I saw you today with the new love of your life, and you looked happier.

I saw you today with the girl you told me not to worry about, and the only thought running through my mind now is how did we get to this point?

Bringing it back to the present moment. There are times when I forget that I have c-ptsd (not that I'm becoming a fan of labels) and I feel like a normal human being (whatever that is) and then there are times when I am triggered by something in my present reality and I'm sent into a a period of flashback which can sometimes last for days. #exhausting Today I'm starting to feel a little bit more like me and starting to be able to think clearly. (THANK FUK) In those periods everything is clouded negative and overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like it's going to last forever and that there is no way out. #isolated And then there were moments like today when you meet with a kind friend who shows you compassion, or you sheepishly open up about out some of the ways and which you've been acting up and not serving yourself well #honesty which then allows your eGo to chill and the real you can come to the forefront.🤩 I found this book today and every day I'm going to write things to reflect on, things that I'm proud of, it's a small something that will allow me to keep me living in the present moment. #stuckinthepast I find it really hard not to live in the past especially when things in my present reality triggered me to feel something which feels very real in that moment, but ultimately it comes from a past experience. #timewarp I'm entirely grateful for the people that I have in my life and I'm ready to move forward even if it does mean taking baby steps. I've been MIA since the wonderful #beasttobeing retreat I attended this weekend, following on from that it led me to purge and let go of a lot of painful emotions that I didn't even realise I was still holding onto. One thing I've been realising about healing is that each time that you cry, release, do the inner work or shadow work, you get the opportunity to grow and to to remove a layer of the Onion that no longer serves you well. Reflection not perfection. #gratitude #gladtobeback #ptsdrecovery #flashback #denial #werisebyliftingothers #selfhelp #recoveryfromtrauma #iamenough #imonlyhuman #stayconnected #shadowwork #innerwork #reflectionnotperfection #humbled #egodeath #cycles #lettinggo https://www.instagram.com/p/B4NSK4hJJ2I/?igshid=1u7rg2g5u1wjw
