Dear C j,

You're doing great keeping those positive memories, thoughts and dreams going.

You've got this

You can do it!

:woot::ninja::hungry:

Ragdoll - You really really did quit smoking - that's HUGE! That's the first real commitment you've made to having a future in, like, years. That's bigtime recovery stuff! Well done!

Some people find that when they practice self-compassion, their pain actually increases at first. We call this phenomena backdraft

yes! We in the canine behavior (and child development psych) circles call it extinction burst. I do it all the time when trying to break habits :)

I also love seeing @Anrish and @Naoru writing in Japanese - it reminds me of a time I was in a museum (Berlin I think?) and saw the schoolbooks of kids in one country learning the language of the other (forgot which way it went, but grammatically they're supposed to have some similarities - I speak German and Chinese so I wouldn't be able to verify about Japanese that accurately!)

GREAT THREAD @Ragdoll Circus !!!

Sophia, you are always trying your best. Always. Forgive yourself. Love yourself. You are loved.

 

[Anrish]

Thank you @SophiaWisdom :hug:

Anrish, you took good care of you today instead of forcing yourself to work. You have great progess in your obstacle training and your writing gets more abstract again. You do fine, girl.

Ro, you're a heck of a star in sidelining grief and melting away sadness. Just rage? Rage we can use.

And cheers on actually still thinking how to f*cking use the traps you can't exit as swiftly as you'd like to, and how to trap evil animals in them. That's brains, if you bother to give yourself that credit.

Lola, great job on not self harming, girl! You are doing such good work. And when you forget things or procrastinate? Forgive yourself. You're only human and you're doing the best you can.

Btw, interesting factoid on language similarities. American Sign Language (ASL) has more in common with written Japanese than with either written or spoken English, grammatically speaking.

interesting factoid on language similarities.

Super interesting to know and thank you :tup: I've never delved into ASL much, yet, but I'd know some elementary Japanese Sign Language so I'm also curious how that goes... something to delve into. Goals. :tup:

Dharmagirl, you are really good with animals, and form healing bonds with them.
