Pececitos Dulce-Amargos

Listening to Drake always reminds me of him.

It quietly stings my heart when it slowly burns into a faded memory. It seems that all we always have is one night, trying hard to make the minutes last. When the morning light comes, its too late to decide whether to fight or flight. And the latter seems to persist in your heart. It was always too hard, too much, too many impossible nights of fun when the resentment grows strong. And all these songs I keep writing to keep my mind busy, struggling to keep calm when all I want to do is see, you. Like he says, if you let me, baby, I want to take care of you. I’ll leave the drama if you’ll leave your other girls. Give me a chance, I’ll prove to you it’s right. I’m not saying marry me tonight, I’m asking you to pack a suitcase and lets run away for a night. I’m down, if you’re down, let’s leave the arguments behind. Let’s give us a try.

It’s decided. I’m gonna go out to the strangest place and pretend to be someone else. And I’m going to do this every month, at least once. Until I meet something really exciting.

This Modern Love- Bloc Party

After this song popped up on my 8tracks playlist tagged “unrequited affection”, I enthusiastically bopped my head up and down for about two minutes until I realized the lyrics had been posted previously (barely a few days ago) by the person whom I now direct my bitterness at.

I’m so confused and my heart just hurts so much. Nighttime’s the worst, because the reality of how alone I am sets in. I see the name “Andrew” and my heart stops and when it starts again, it literally feels like it’s sinking slowly, painfully, deep into the pits of my soul. I see pictures of Jake and I cry over how much I want that, how badly I want to be with someone that good and how fucking terrible it feels knowing that I can’t because of how in love I still am with my ex-boyfriend and how destroyed I still am from other things from my past. I’ve been to therapy and counselors and spiritual cleansing attempts (or whatever you want to call it); it helps but it doesn’t take the pain away. Sometimes I still wake up with nightmares of my past that feel so real.

This isn’t fair. I have perfection at my fingertips in the shape of a sweet, beautiful man and I can’t be with him because of how fucked up I am. And I know everyone keeps saying I’ll be ready someday but I just feel like it’s too much. I can’t even talk about it, most of my closest friends have no idea and the ones that do, don’t know the whole story. You put up walls to keep sane and when you want to take them down to let someone in, you just can’t anymore.

How can something so right, hurt so much?

“Being triggered does not mean “being upset” or “being offended” or “being angry,” or any other euphemism people who roll their eyes long-sufferingly in the direction of trigger warnings tend to imagine it to mean. Being triggered has a very specific meaning that relates to evoking a physical and/or emotional response to a survived trauma. To say, “I was triggered” is not to say, “I got my delicate fee-fees hurt.” It is to say, “I had a significantly mood-altering experience of anxiety.” Someone who is triggered may experience anything from a brief moment of dizziness, to a shortness of breath and a racing pulse, to a full-blown panic attack. A survivor of sexual violence who experiences a trigger is experiencing the same thing as a soldier who experiences a trigger, potentially even including flashbacks. Like many soldiers who return from war, many survivors of sexual violence are left with post-traumatic stress disorder. Unlike soldiers, however, they are not likely to receive much sympathy, or benefit from attempts to understand, when they are triggered. Instead, triggered survivors of sexual violence are dismissed as oversensitive, as hysterics, as humorless, as weak. Well. Trivializing the concerns of a person whose traumatic experience of sexual violence has been triggered is a legitimate response. But it’s not a very kind or decent one. I will never understand why anyone wants to be the total jerk who evokes someone’s memories of being assaulted by blindsiding hir with a rape joke (or image, or metaphor, or whatever), in the guise of “humor.” No “joke” is worth triggering someone. Not if you understand what triggering someone really means.”

“This tribe called “Women of Color” is not an ethnicity. It is one of the inventions of solidarity, an alliance, a political necessity that is not the given name of every female with dark skin and a colonized tongue, but rather a choice about how to resist and with whom.”
