(Eöl isn't very happy about this.)

(Areðel is happy to get closure, one way or another.)

(Maeglin is conflicted, but he is happy to know his dad isn't forever lost.)

oversharing in the tags time :)

[toadsrbutch]

hehe, really fuckin sad to see what a strong grip depression has on your dad and that he’s pretty much gone his whole adult life with no friends or hobbies :’) that’s definitely not sad at all.

This is such a blessing of you to share my story. I'm so sorry and embarrassed to ask you to donate as well

There is nothing to be ashamed of here. You're doing what you have to, to survive and to me it's truly commendable that even in a situation as grim as this, you're still fighting!

That being said, I'm really sorry. I can't fulfill that request right now. I am unfortunately not in a financial situation where I can donate.

HOWEVER I am currently looking for a job, so once I have disposable income I'll make sure to donate !!

guy who literally cant stop thinking about lubelle seeing cecil as a washed up deadbeat who dragged carlos down when he was vulnerable then baby trapped him, and lubelle and her team pitying carlos and wanting to help him because they miss the man he used to be, but carlos keeps avoiding them pushing them away dragging cecil and his team away from fights, looking at them with sad and tired eyes and asking them to just leave him alone

What jumped out at me while I was talking the Kindle Sample, was I don't have those feelings with Bear.

(Actually I've got to amend that. Because when I read it to Bear...she was like...

"No frustration?"

....and I was reminded that I do feel those things. But as blips. That if it happens...she and I talk about it. It's not the majority of our interactions.)

Whenever I come across a book that pitches to help me find the relationship I want, I would likely say...

"Yes, please!"

....not because, I don't believe Bear is not My Person. It's more being able to make it easier for me to get close to me best self. I take this to mean that if I am able to be a better (healthier) me.... Then I'll be able to give Bear the space to be her best self too!

The idea is that as I love myself...

(I know! I sound a bit like the version of myself find the exercises in 'Mirror Work'!)

...more and more ...then I get more capacity to love Bear and have her love me.

(isn't that the idea about Self Love? Somehow the more we love ourselves, we are able to increase our capacity in loving others?)

I have to see when this was published, but if it is quite an old one, I get why Sandra might not have used the pronoun 'their' ---- as a number of writers are still in the process of adopting the phrase that recognises all genders instead of the binary (women and men).

With me reading a number of Quantum Manifestation related books, I was glad to be reminded that I'm not at a state where I feel constantly feel hopeless about figuring out the next step required to bring me closer to the outcome I desire.

When I got to this point, I wonder if it's about the company that Psyche has chosen. Though I'm not keen on the idea of being kept on my own...or me keeping Bear isolated. Maybe that's what was unhealthy in this whole myth?

I get that it's important to nurture a life that allows things outside a partnership, and I'm still in the process of trying to figure out the best approach to tackle Bear's fear that one day I might want to be with a person who could offer me a connection because they also write copious amounts of text or might be someone I'd work on a project with.

In that case...I would consider this person as someone that might be part of my Found Family. Depending on their openness to be part of that or if they just want to be considered a friend.

I also feel like the other reminder from the story is similar to something I picked from watching Season 2 of 'Couples Therapy' where Orna mentions the importance of sharing your anxieties with your partner. The idea is the anxiety is passed on to another person and each time that anxiety becomes less and less of something that affects the one initially carrying it because each time it's passed along between the couple there's the addition of perspective. Then at some point it would no longer be something that is weighing down on either person.

Another thing I found helpful is the questionnaire! 25 things that can help guide me to see what I am nurturing within myself.

The Healing Power of Art Therapy for Trauma

Art therapy for trauma uses creative activities like drawing, painting, and sculpting to help individuals express and process their traumatic experiences. This therapeutic approach allows people to explore difficult emotions and memories in a safe and non-verbal way. By engaging in art-making, individuals can gain insights into their trauma, reduce stress, and foster healing. Art therapy provides a supportive space for people to work through their pain and build resilience, ultimately promoting mental and emotional recovery.

they should make a life where you don't have appointments, work, school and scheduled events every single day for months on end

Death becomes too blinded by his "I can fix him" attitude when it comes to Novo(caine) and begins to put the blame on U.V. when it comes to Novo's behavior and outbursts without realizing it as a way to "protect" U.V.. (things like "well if you hadn't talked to him he wouldn't have hit you" or "you just need to stay away from your father for now/during xyz time of day")

First Marriage Proposal

Where CANON and FANON collide!

FANON Future Buddie Fanfic Series

Part 10 is now available on AO3: “First Marriage Proposal" - Eddie and Buck's first marriage proposal.

First Marriage Proposal

16.3K Words; Rated: Mature

___________

Here's a snippet from one of Buck and Eddie's conversations.

___________

Buck’s eyes light up at the sight of Eddie and his smile widens as the first song on his playlist, “Love of My Life” by Brian McKnight is at the point in the song where Brian sings the chorus, “You’re more than wonderful.  More than amazing.  The irreplaceable love of my life.  You’re so incredible, here in these arms of mine.  The irreplaceable love of my life” and he thinks this is perfect.

Eddie’s stuck in place because he’s not sure what’s happening but he can tell it’s something big.

Buck walks over to him, takes his hand in his, laces their fingers together and says, “This is all for you Eddie.”  He closes the door, then he removes Eddie’s bag from his shoulder and says, “Come over here with me so we can talk.”

He walks them over to the middle of the living room and after they stop, he gets down on one knee and he hears Eddie gasp after he does.

At that very moment, Brian sings the lyric, “Baby you know, you know you’re my one and only.  All I want to do is be together” and Buck meets Eddie’s eyes and says, “It’s true, all I want is to be with you”.

He picks up the remote and lowers the volume on the speaker, then continues.  

“Eddie… you work so hard.  You take care of me and Chris all the time because you’re a caregiver by nature but you deserve someone to take care of you too.”

What is Buck going to say next?
