Today I learnt:

Cruelty enjoyed tricking me as a little boy. I'm still mad about that

Today I am grateful:

For deep fried Karaage chicken, miso soup and peach tea

Today I need:

To ask others for comfort and help even if I feel horrible and lonely as I do it

Today I forgive:

People who knowingly use me because they see no other way

Today I learnt:

I'm triggered randomly, because nourishment, safety and privacy were neglected in childhood out of sheer ignorance

Today I am grateful:

For warm clothes and coffee

Today I need:

To let others manage their own confusion however uncomfortable

Today I forgive:

Anyone who struggles to listen to themselves being spoken about by others

Today I learnt:

There is no need to rush, but when you need to, you go ahead and rush the shit out of it

Today I am grateful:

That as disconnected as I feel, and as slight as my existence seems, I will still come from people

Today I need:

Affection, even if I can't tolerate it and my need feels too big

Today I forgive:

My dad; protecting you made me feel the most unsafe

Today I learnt:

Improvement demands letting messes flourish in real life

Today I am grateful:

I don't have to take care of your shit just to be around you with mine

Today I need:

To be openly kind on purpose

Today I forgive:

The whole world for heading down the toilet

Today I learnt:

To set a boundary using one coherent sentence, my feelings and my voice

Today I am grateful:

For awkward silences and unavoidable mistakes

Today I need:

My boss to say, "you are doing fine but you deserve more." It could happen.

Today I forgive:

People, with no investment, for putting expectations on me, that have nothing to do with me

Today I learnt:

'Mean' is just a technique, when you're afraid your anger doesn't belong to you

Today I am grateful:

The ideal life I use, to make sense of my suffering, is an excellent fake

Today I need:

A second to watch my inner reaction, in case I accidentally pretend I didn't have it

Today I forgive:

Any shit that happens whether I can change it or not (with my 'changing powers')
