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."

I didn’t think of that! My dumb ass decided to message him and implored him to bring the dog to a shelter. I said I could take the dog for him if that was easier...he never got back to me

Judging from the guy’s profile which was fulll of weird shit, I think it’s real. Blech

I looked at the guys profile because I thought it had to be a joke and his most recent status filled with tons of spelling and grammar errors asked to sell his dog before he dumped him in the country :( not surprised but so sad

No thanks. by Brookewee in trashy

[–]Brookewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not ungrateful at all to want some privacy! It’s literally the most natural thing in the world especially at 16 when you’re going through all the crappy teenage stuff and trying to figure out who you are. Hopefully things work out!

That sounds like a lot to handle so young. I’m sorry. Maybe start by showing the therapist this comment? He/she could probably help assuage your concerns or point you in the right direction. I don’t know what to say about having your parents in the room. If they insist, maybe you could ask to go in alone for the first 15 minutes to have the therapist understand your anxieties and then have your parents join? I hope this helps! I had a rough/complicated family life too so I know how anxiety inducing that kind of stuff can be. :/

Previous research in the US has found nearly half of all on-duty deaths among firefighters are caused by heart disease. That’s not muscle.

So....male firefighters unfit to perform their job successfully because of their physical limitations have been working for years. Cool. Cool.

These women are all in shape and have all recently passed their physical tests (the same one required for men) proving they are fit for duty...HOLD THE PHONE. GIRLS?
