#daily trauma

[goodbyeapathy8]

I moved in with my sister (older). Here's how that's going.

Today, I was in the kitchen and heard Sister calling my name. "Phoenix!" I turned around, just in time to see her hoist her leg up (impressive) and place her (socked) foot on the edge of the counter.

"Look!" as if I weren't looking at her in utter confusion already. "FEEL IT," she said, running a hand up and down her leggings-clad thigh. "IT'S VELVETY."

She then proceeded to burst out into raucous laughter, probably at the shocked expression on my face. I had to turn around again and clutch the handles of her French door refrigerator for support. I couldn't hold myself up and, as it were, leaning against the doors as if they would help me breathe.

This is the scene that Brother In Law walked in on. Me, gasping, slumped against the refrigerator. Sister, leg still up and socked foot perched precariously on the edge of her counters, hand placed on her thigh, also gasping for breath.

Brother In Law : what is going on? Sister : I was showing off *heaves a breath* my leggings, *thigh caress for emphasis*, and how velvety! they are! feel them!

I made the unfortunate mistake of opening my eyes and turning around again at the precise moment that BIL reached across to try to also caress her leggings.

To which we all basically collapsed into giggles while struggling to maintain proper oxygen levels so that our bodies could live another (traumatized) day (for me).

You have innate worth as a human being.

There is nothing you have to do to earn it.

There is nothing you can do to diminish it.

You are worthy and nothing can take that away.

Take a deep breath and remind yourself that you are safe here in the present moment.

ADHD isn't silly or quirky. it can hinder productivity, create a cycle of overcommitting and overextending to keep up with life, can give rise to feelings of guilt for things like resting and overall impacts relationship health (just to name a few). it's hard to manage and it's miserable.

Here is the book. Take it and keep it, read it if you will, but never let me know; unless, indeed, some solemn duty should come upon me to go back to the bitter hours, asleep or awake, sane or mad, recorded here.

Jonathan giving the journal, and his whole trust to Mina.

Then I kissed it and showed it to my husband, and told him that I would keep it so, and then it would be an outward and visible sign for us all our lives that we trusted each other; that I would never open it unless it were for his own dear sake or for the sake of some stern duty. 

Mina giving her promise of trust, and silence as a response.

In a novel that has been explaining how important communication is no matter what, both Mina and Jonathan decide to be entirely honest with eachother both before, and after marriage. In a weakened state, and with the looming question of what truly happened in that horrible place, they decide to open up, and give the other an opportunity to reassure their trust for eachother.

Jonathan knows that from today Mina will get curious about the journal. It is something that he deems inevitable because of Mina's curiosity, so instead of shutting himself, and her as a way to protect his mind from such forgotten yet horrible real or not dreams, Jonathan simply tells Mina that she can read it. It will be painful, distressing, and I dare to say shameful to hand over what he deems to be his ramblings in a feverish state, but for Jonathan this is something he has to do for Mina first. He doesn't want to keep any secrets from her, no matter how painful they are, so he gives away the journal with the promise of telling him nothing. It's all Jonathan asks, read it if you wish for that, but please tell me nothing.

Mina's heartwarming response to Jonathan's trust is one of reassurance. She tells him that she will keep the journal, and that It will be a reminder in the future that this moment was defining for their marriage, but that it will only stay at that, a moment. Mina sets both hers, and Jonathan's eyes towards a warmer tomorrow where the shadows of Transylvania are only a bad memory in their lives, and the journal stays sealed with those horribke nightmares locked away. Even if Mina is truly curious about the contents, she puts all of that aside to focus on what truly matters. Maybe one day Mina will gaze at the journal, and wonder, but today Mina has promised and given back the trust that Jonathan gave her.

And the most important thing is how the narrative doesn't call any of their actions as wrong, or as a mistake. There is no subtext that implies that Jonathan is making a mistake for giving the journal to Mina, there is not a single shred of any doubt that forebonds any kind of error from Mina's choice of sealing the diary.

The open, and honest communication between Mina and Jonathan is a good choice supported by the narrative that both do out of love, and respect for eachother's boundaries in this unorthodox marriage.
