coping
Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Where do you shop for "Phat" clothes?
Not many people hear this from me, but my mother had turned into a full blown lesbian after her 5th straight marriage failed. It was a weird adjustment period for me, and when I asked her if lesbian life was any better or worse, she said there was no difference. At that point, I knew that my bisexual claim was and will always be the truest of the rainbow clan. I mention my relations to the rainbow world because I've been indulging in some entertainment viewing of the rainbow sort. I'm building this up, leading to the plus size clothing industry as I connect the dots regarding lesbians and body image.

Narcissist or Borderline Personality Disorder?
"A person with BPD seeks love for security whereas a person with NPD seeks love for attention". If you're still in a toxic relationship, it's likely you've done all the research; recognized the process (the grooming, devaluing, discarding, and hoovering), traits and tactics (lack of empathy, need for admiration, lying, manipulating), and felt the effects of abuse (hypervigilance, confusion, loss of a sense of self, isolation).

Living Autistically . Content Warning.
As I sit here listening to "This is Me" from The Greatest Showman, I realize that I have always tried to stuff myself into the box society tells young women they must be in. Don't be different, don't be too emotional, don't be too feminine, don't be too masculine, don't question authority, it's always your fault, you're not worth it, don't speak up, don't lose your voice, don't be ambitious, don't be a wuss, etc. I have never fully accepted who I am for many reasons: trying to survive through abuse and trauma, never really fitting into any mold in school or work, not having a particular skillset (I'm average at lots of things), fighting my own genetics so I don't repeat my parents' histories, tempering down my interests, believing differently, looking different from my family, having health issues, being told and shown I wasn't worth putting effort into, etc. Long have I desired to understand all of who I am so I make sense to my own mind. Too many parts of my past haven't made sense, so the struggle has continued over decades. That is, until last year.
