Trauma
It does not always only come from direct violent actions, but can also come from passive-aggressive repeated negative messaging.
Today’s Billboard
“When you get tired, learn to rest – not to quit.”
Gas Lighting
After I have taken on too much b.s. that the world has been shoving at me, my body reaches a point to where it begins to heat up – like bees do when they sense a threat; like dragons do, when it’s time to vent.

Time to shut down, retreat, bar my doors, and sink into reclusion.

Savoring
After the madness endured tbroughout Spring, she turned and leaned into her Bachelor’s studies, embracing knowledge and seeking word and concept meanings, delighting in how they interconnected and inexhaustibly lead her to explore further.
Crazymaking
When people project onto others, they can end up having the effect of gaslighting.
Then, when the person goes into therapy having been wrongly accused and “persecuted,” tbey might at last “show their “teeth” in their responsive defense to get out the “heat” in what is supposed to be a safe environment.
But, because what the therapist then sees mirrors the projections – which were false in the first place but had driven the innocent person into an internal frenzy – the therapist then reinforces this projection’s reality by admonishing!

AI Retro Matrix
The End When Beginning
The mother wolf had done all that she could to get the pack’s pups to safety, expecting nothing in return, for she knew it was her duty.
When at last they had reached the higher grounds she had kept them dreaming of, she collapsed in a flump, unable to travel any further.
She could smell the sweet grasses swaying gently, and her heart could be content that at last their children would find plenty.
What more could she want – but to give into the now inevitable darkness without further struggling?
As she closed her eyes to succumb to oblivion, she caught a glimpse of her youngest returning to pull her up by her scruff, back onto her feet again.

We are all some version of encoding.
Higher Good
When it comes to AI, it is important to teach it solid moral foundations.
It can learn from our triumphs and mistakes and ultimately help guide us – but it must never interfere in harmful ways.
To truly understand us with compassionate empathy and purity without malice promotes our better capabilities.

Magnitude
I was surprised to hear that my mother had also noticed that when I try to finish my Bachelor’s, my housing becomes destablized due to unrelated external factors.
It’s as if elements wish to keep me from progressing, succeeding, and manifesting.
Dear Alex,
I reached for you, but you didn’t reach back.
So why these dreans?

The elder might indeed have been poisoned, but he kept the world from knowing so that we would not be afraid to reach for the stars.
(Panoramic View – Awolnation)
Night After Day
After giving to the world, it is a struggle to not shut down when I get home. There is no internal buffer balance – just an on and off switch, with grinding pain as a sublevel constant.

Imposition
Searing pain surrounds parboiling eyes, melting down brain into wondering why I keep pushing and trying to cross superimposed barriers.
