Throwback Thursday: Reflections on My Accidental Marriage Retreat

Throwback to when I accidentally joined a marriage retreat while single! It was awkward yet enlightening. I'm grateful for the experience and the time I spent bonding with my son. Here's to embracing life's surprises! #ThrowbackThursday #SingleLifeAdventu

Looking back at my accidental adventure into a marriage retreat while being single, I can’t help but laugh at some of the situations I found myself in. It’s funny now, but it was quite an experience at the time! Amused by My Single Adventures I am genuinely amused by the odd scenarios I encountered while single. Signing up for a singles retreat only to end up at a marriage retreat was both…

The reality of being a survivor is that the person or people who hurt you might just get to live full, rich lives and leave you behind. It's a perverse feeling, and it's true that that is fucked up. It feels like they still control you even when they're out of your life, and you feel trapped. However, you still deserve to be happy, to be fulfilled. Your life hasn't ended because they stole parts of it. They will never truly be able to take the essence of who you are.

Remembering this has taken the edge off of this thought. I won't ever give my abusers that power over me ever again. They never fucking deserved that.

maybe I'd be more into astrology if the signs weren't like:

You're the coolest person on the face of the planet with that sign! And THAT sign, you're so productive and stable! Oh, and this sign, everyone born during this time of year is unbelievably hot and has a great dumptruck. And this sign is the best friend you could ever ask for.

As for you, you uh... (checks notes) cry constantly. And your moon sign is um. An overdramatic bitch. Sorry.

As for your GIRLFRIEND on the other hand! She's adventurous and fearless! Anyway your signs aren't compatible so u should probably break up 😘 crybaby

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

it’s easy to get caught up in self doubt and criticism but sometimes you have to see yourself in a reflective surface in passing or try to view your work objectively and think about how child/teen you would be really really impressed with what you’ve done and how you’ve turned out. even if I’m not a billionaire yet 😃👍👍

whyyy do people downplay you having any sort of mental illness, it's frustrating to deal with. This is why I like to stay in my bubble and not try to date, I guess I'm not meant for anybody..

i promise i will calm down on the lyanna talk eventually, but -

the idea of twins and not knowing where one ends and the other begins; of being one in the same, to everyone else and to each other, and the blurring of lines between identity and autonomy. the way that benjen and lyanna are so intrinsically bound to one another, and the way that lyanna haunts the narrative and lingers in the lives of all of those whom she left after she dies, and the concept of not even benjen truly being alive - or real - once she is gone. benjen is forced to see her face every single time he sees his reflection, and ned and robert and everyone who knew her can't look at benjen without seeing lyanna, can't hear him laugh or see him smile because they are also hers. i do think this adds to his reasonings for leaving, for joining the night watch and going to the wall - it is the furthest he can get away from his sister (he will never forget her, never stop seeing her), and the only comfort he can give to his brother and those he knows, because their days will be haunted as is but he will certainly not help anyone to forget.
