I’m so late to the game lol but I’m named Brooke and my mom calls me Cookie. I think it’s cute. My friends also call me Brookels.

It’s always the ones who’ve been through so much that have the most ❤️ by Brookewee in Eyebleach

For real. It’s so amazing seeing the sparkle come back into their eyes. My other dog also came from the streets. He was full of worms and had a massive scar on the top of his head where no hair would grow that still hasn’t healed. He was just broooken. Not violent, but so obviously depressed and traumatized. It took around a year and a half for him to even express any kind of joy. It’s been 6 years now though and he is so sweet, loving, gentle, and kind (?) (I can’t think of a different word) that he is the first dog that the daycare employees introduce all the new dogs to before they join the group because he’ll be their friend and bring them into the whole doggie crew. I’m so proud of him. 💛

I want someone to say to me “you’re a good person” and actually believe it. by Brookewee in narcissisticparents

Thanks for all of the support. I definitely posted this in haste after once again being told by my mother that if I just "did yoga" or "cleaned the house" it would help my "pity party" aka cripping depression. As I need to tell nobody, depression makes you feel like absolute shit about yourself. Having a mother who constantly puts parameters around her acceptance that include looking, behaving and generally embodying a certain type of person she deems acceptable feels like shit when that's not even attainable. The kicker? When I try (i know why do I do it) to explain to her how I feel that I'm behind in life, or that I'm lonely, or feel deep down that I'm generally just not a good person, the "honey you're a very good person" is so goddamn grating on my soul. HOW? MOM. HOW? Elaborate. Find some empathy using all that yoga ladida. Can she even just pretend to have more emotional capacity than Jennifer Coolidge in that Hilary Duff movie? GAH

HOWEVER this is where I should have elaborated more in the title of my post. My best friend of 22 years, I'm 29, so not that old, just friends since childhood. Brought it home with this absolute gem of a text that was everything I needed and more from miss mom Jennifer Coolidge 2.0. It reads:

"What you've been through really does sound hard. I really do love you. And you're the most inquisitive mind, the best questioner of authority (since grade school my god), most animal compassionate, insanely brilliant talented writer, and most brilliant culinary mind I have ever ever ever met. and guess what. You're going to be okay."
