Today I was talking to my therapist and we came across some of the shitty things I’ve had to deal with and I went into my very habitual “it could have been worse” routine, and he said something that no one else EVER has. Thank god it wasn’t.
Thank god it wasn’t.
No one has ever said that to me before. No one has even said anything similar. People love “it could have been worse” because it gives them an excuse to move away from an uncomfortable topic. They love to move on and forget. But in those four words, he conveyed to me that he cared, that the things I went through were valid, and that I didn’t have to talk about it any more than I wanted to.
Thank god it wasn’t
That’s how you should respond when people say that it could have been worse. That’s how you validate someone’s trauma without being invasive.
aaaAAAAA AA SO I CAUGHT THE GIANT HORSE TODAY AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SO SO COOL HOW THAT HORSE WAS GANONDORF’S IN ANOTHER LIFE and so I drew this up!!!!
I was thinking of naming my horse something sinister and evil, but that didn’t seem fair. That horse wasn’t responsible for anything its rider did years upon millennia ago!! So I named her Nabooru! I thought it was more fair to name her after a great hero. <3 <3 <3
