I think that in real life…. Relationships r like . Your partner WILL ‘trauma dump’ on you. You will have to perform ‘emotional labor’ for your partner. Your partner will make mistakes. You will also do all of these things. The very nature of love is irrational and problematic and difficult …. To expect a relationship to be free of these things is strange to me…. The point is that your relationship to that person is ultimately worth it, and worth growing with them, helping each other, seeing the worst parts of another person and being able to love them anyway

I have run out of compassion for wolves. I have run
out of compassion for anyone who isn’t outraged.
 
I ran,
& this stubborn body followed.
 
I am the opposite
of forgiveness. I am all rage
& shriek & flame.
