They look and, they like and, they wish it was them. They admire Woody and, live vicariously through him and his movies.
The past few days on DU, have been really hard for me.
I just realized a trigger that I had "forgotten". glossed over. downplayed the experience. normalized it.(REPRESSED IT)
I understand now why there is a certain DUer that I just can not stomach.
This DUer is a trigger for what happened to me years ago.
I have no choice but, to put this DUer and their main cohorts on Ignore.
For my own mental health.
Maybe, in time, I can process this but, for right now.
I just can not deal with it anymore.
The physical reaction. The knot in my stomach.
