Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

there are people i resented and dont anymore. i dont like them but i dont resent them. it took accepting the emotion to not be overwhelmed by it and thats what let me think clearly.
but sometimes terrible fucked up shit happens and it turns out deciding youre to blame for it happening to you can also make you miserable

its not something you can apply a single process to across the board. all of it is different

I love deep story

Depends, some of us had a lot of blame to accept, while others may have little blame.

I wouldn’t act like the mental process I needed is something everyone would need

It’s never too late to turn back. For what felt like eons, contacting my sister was an unthinkable act to me that i would have gladly taken my own life instead of doing.

We don’t have much to talk about and we’re both obscenely busy so we still don’t talk much, but being able to contact her at all was one of my best accomplishments

thats why i said you cant apply a single process across the board. i feel like we keep agreeing on things here

I’m a bridge builder. I also have 100 counts of arson, but I’m someone who usually will always rebuild relationships.

Although the issue I made was lying to someone who reached out to me. I told them that I was ready to talk to them, and that I didn’t have a problem with them. I knew that they’d never want to discuss my feelings and the pain I felt being around them, so I hid it because I wanted them to keep in contact with me.

You have to be ready, and I was an idiot thinking time heals. In reality it takes time TO HEAL, but time itself can’t do any of the healing for you. 4 years feels like a long time, but since I didn’t start the process of healing, none of the time mattered

Now I have to start that process for real now, but hey whatever

This convo happened at a really weird time for me. Yesterday someone from a previous community sent me a message and it really hurt my head. I had such feelings of sadness and anger.

Getting through resentment is tough work. Rachel should accept shit and be happy.

This conversation i think is giving me the courage to speak with my cousin again who i ghosted after he exploded at me last month. I demanded forgiveness from him and swore on my job that I wouldn’t speak with him again until I got it, and I pride myself on my word being my bond (and nothing is more sacred to me than my job) so I’ve been hesitant to speak with him even though I knew he didn’t deserve to be ghosted. He was my best friend for most of last year (and his family graciously let me join them on their annual PR trip in december) and another family member i get advice from pointed out that it’s something I did in the heat of the moment so I didn’t really mean it

So tl:dr thank you Rachel you’re a savant on the matter of resentment

I think people usually act cheeky because well it’s fun! Though I guess it depends on the mood whenever you want to introduce depthness, like in this situation.

I’m a savant?

If only I was ever strong enough to follow my own words. I’m an emotional child with countless issues

I lost my $100 earbuds, and went through a lot of trauma last night.

If I can be happy rn, all of yall should be

There aren’t people without problems, what matters the most is what you’re going to do about it.

Me and doing stuff about my problems

:wowee:

I’m the greatest talker, and weakest in practice
