My two pretty senior babies💕 Butternut^ And Chonkas^

I had a similar reaction to watching a playthrough of a game called The Kidnapping by chilla's art - I was instantly taken back to my childhood and lost control of my emotions, was weird for me because i love watching horror game playthroughs, but that one has such an accurate depiction of my...

As a start, I'll be happy with myself if I add small memories/incidents from my upbringing on a semi-regular basis. I prefer to treat myself like these things never happened, and it ends up making me have zero compassion for myself when I face triggers/flashbacks/health issues - leading to self...
