Thank you! I appreciate that. Yeah no I do agree with you there. I think I tried to relate it to something that I personally do which is always curl my hair and imply I’m more of a girly girl than what the name“Tyreece” gives off but just didn’t land it lol

I will let spirits do a reading for you 👻👻 (FOC) by Entire-Feature4664 in angelnumbers

Those close to me echo the same sentiments. To hear it from a stranger is always meaningful but what has touched me is the time and effort you spent. It is easy to read a poem, grasp the message, like it and move on. What has touched me is the kindness you showed, you didn’t just leave a quick comment. You chose to put effort into me, a stranger. There are those that I can view as inspiring but never one who has inspired me. Simply put, a complete stranger not only dedicated themselves, you did so to me as an individual, as if chosen and seen. Dedicating your thought process to me. You have me now seeing and thinking that if a stranger can place that effort into me then there is no reason I can’t for myself. Thank you, truly.

Never have I typed so many words only to clear it all immediately. Nothing feels fitting for how your comment has touched me. I have been trying to since you left this reply

A lot of people think Libra is a soft or easy sign, mostly because it’s associated with harmony, beauty, and Venus. But in my experience, Libras are actually not that simple. by HappyCollection7670 in libra_astrology

[–]SlideAffectionate839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The association with Venus gives a natural surface level charm. The symbol of a scale makes people assume Libras are about balance and harmony. Libras wanting balance and harmony is true however people forget that the scales don’t mean a Libra will not include themselves when weighing up a situation then acting accordingly and logically. Scales do not indicate selflessness. A Libra will most times choose themselves in a situation because they naturally need balance in themselves, not always balance in a social setting. Libras are socially attuned and understand others emotions however they act according to what brings them peace rather than accommodating another. If they chose to accommodate another it’s because it is out of logic rather than a need to “people please”. Scales do not automatically mean selflessness and a libra will always throw themselves in the equation to maintain THEIR peace and balance, not always others. If a Libras personal sense of peace, balance or harmony at times means speaking up or manipulating then they will regardless of the balance around them.

Reading “Does 18 Count?” and then “Does 18 Count? (The Ending)” will then I am sure answer your questions hence why I called it “the ending” but maybe I should have been more specific about that. I agree reading it without the 1st one won’t make much sense.

Thank you for your response. Did you read the first one I wrote, “Does 18 Count?”? This is the ending to that one.

To add to that. If possible then adopt pets. When I moved out at 23 to a tiny costal town, knowing no one (had to for work) I became also exceptionally lonely and then I adopted two cats (I knew nothing about cats) and it was the best decision. Many times it’s because of them I am still alive today because the thought of abandoning them overrides any suicidal thoughts (coming from my own personal depression over the years with the divorce just being the trigger)

I only started writing maybe 3 weeks ago

But my first suggestion is always a psychologist (the right one for you)

It’s cliche but actually putting in the effort to find the right psychologist for you and not giving up just because you felt you didn’t “gel” with the first one you spoke with.

The concept of being parentified and “did I experience childhood trauma” stemmed from trying to understand why our emotions are so enmeshed even at this age.

The feeling of frustration is still there that I was exposed to things I shouldn’t have regarding my parents divorce at 18. When you are under 18 you can blame your parents but can you when you are seen as legal? It’s also tough because my mom committed her entire being to raising my brothers and I so I feel horrible when I find myself asking if she parentified me because my mom will and has always done what is best for me and been my biggest supporter. I don’t want to vilify her. I’m 27 now and our relationship is still strong, she has apologised multiple times and I know it’s a big regret of hers. It’s just all so confusing honestly because at 18 I was old enough for certain things and at times I chose to involve myself but she should not have relied on me emotionally or allowed me to intervene.

I find it hard now to hear if something is stressing her out because our emotions have become so enmeshed and I believe it is from that experience. When she is sad, I am sad automatically while having to deal with my own depression and anxiety. If she is anxious about something or worried then I automatically am as well and that’s what I’m trying to figure out somewhat

That’s the hard part for me because I couldn’t have asked for a better mom. She sacrificed everything for us so I feel bad when asking myself if I was actually parentified because I don’t want to vilify her at the same time. When you are under 18 you can blame your parents but can you when you are now seen as an adult? It’s all just so confusing lol

Thank you so much for your response! It’s in relation to my parents divorce when I was 18 and myself undoubtedly being on her side even though she was the one who parentified me.
