My loves β€οΈ
I struggle to put into words how much I adore my dog babies. Iβm forever grateful for these fur covered angels.
In therapy, my therapist and I have been working on my cPTSD using Present Focused Therapy, and Iβll be honest, itβs been rough.
It takes a lot out of you to revisit trauma, you know?
With each session, I feel I understand myself and others a little better. Iβve also realized thereβs this constant theme of loneliness throughout my entire life. A bigger kind of loneliness, itβs all encompassing, the kind you have when you feel no one on earth could possibly understand you. Not even if they really tried. But most wonβt.
I have always felt dogs were so full of love, they have an endless capacity for you and all your mistakes, all your faults. They understand you because they desperately want to. And I want that, too.
Anyway, all this to say, we simply donβt deserve these precious souls β€οΈ
