Deja Vu Love: Why We Repeat Relationship Patterns and How to Change

Love, while enchanting, can often feel like running in circles. Have you ever found yourself drawn to the same kind of partner time and time again? With a sense of déjà vu as you repeatedly find yourself with eerily similar partners. Why is this?

Once upon a time, I can confess I had a "type." I was irresistibly drawn to people's pain. It wasn’t a drive to 'fix' them or some dark intrigue, but rather, seeing a mirror image of my own internal turmoil. I could see it in their eyes, it was evident in their smile, it peeked through in their laugh, and it was obvious we wore the same burdensome mask to hide our scars. I naively believed building a bond based on shared trauma would help us understood each-others better and that we would guide each other on a road to healing. Instead, our pain inflicted more wounds on each other, that reinforced our negative beliefs and justified our unhealthy behaviors.

At the time it made sense, though looking back the flaw in my logic seems clear: Like the blind leading the blind, how can those equally lost, lead one another to light? This personal revelation reflects a challenge many people face in relationships. Chasing after partners based on idealized fantasies rather than real-world truths. It's easy to say, "I have a type," confidently stating our preferences, but do we ever pause to ask why? Are we genuinely yearning for a compatible soul, or are we simply seeking the traits of a person who idealizes a fantasy?

We must find the courage to question our desires. Only then can we uncover whether we're pursuing shallow ideas, or true compatibility and genuine connection. Consider someone who's always wanted a stable, money-wise family because they didn't have that growing up. They might be drawn to a potential partner’s flashy lifestyle. But does a flashy exterior equate to genuine financial security? How can they spot traits of financial stability if they've never known what it looks like? This logic can be applied to many different scenarios.

The cure to break free from that same old love loop comes down to being brave enough to dig into our wants. Learn what the healthy version of our desires looks like, so we don’t get lured by cheap imitations of it. Failure to do this keeps us entangled in familiar, yet potentially toxic patterns. The path to healthy, sincere, and nurturing relationships begins when we discern the real needs beneath our desires.

If you’re stuck in a loop of similar romantic choices, remember acknowledging the pattern is the first step. Dive deep within, challenge your reasoning, and aim for authentic connections. Together, we can break the cycle of déjà vu love.

i want to document a few things of my recent days, (1/2/24-1/7/24) to not forget i can have days like this, that i can live like this... surrounded by love from the people i love and genuinely care about me, having peaceful days, eating well, having fun, vibing high, surrounded by nature, trees, animals, abundant color green, meditating, grounding and anchoring what is it that i want and the path of least resistance in front of me...

i'll be (i'd love to be) as transparent here as the w33d allows me, if i could summarize my -shortest- manifestation for 2024, my affirmation, the sentence i chose was "extended periods of pleasure"

and to be honest, i chose that one because i felt so down for so long or so often, that in this new timeline what i want is to extend the periods of pleasure, those moments i'm enjoying myself, what im doing/eating/watching/f... that if im going to be low, i dont even notice it (?)

because this year i don't want to be strong, i want to be happy, as happy as possible, for as long as possible, i want to change the balance from feeling down very often to feeling lifted up more often, this is my design.

starting with giving little moments of pleasure as in when im writing,(11:11 rn)

Breaking the Silence: Combating Violence Against Women

In the shadows, beneath the surface, and across every boundary, violence against women looms as an insidious threat. It knows no age, race, or social divide. It's time we illuminate this dark truth, confront it head-on, and free women from its grasp.

Startling statistics lay bare the grim reality: violence against women is a global epidemic, striking at the heart of countless communities. Every day, women endure the torment of abuse. It's an urgent issue we can no longer ignore.

Types of Violence "The Harrowing Reality"

Physical Violence: This includes any form of bodily harm, such as hitting, slapping, or pushing, that women may endure. It leaves visible scars and invisible wounds.

Psychological Violence: Psychological violence messes with the mind. It involves threats, intimidation, and controlling behaviors that leave women in fear, anxiety, and emotional distress.

Sexual Violence: It's about non-consensual sexual acts. Women experience sexual violence when they are forced into sexual situations against their will, which is a profound violation.

Economic Violence: Economic violence involves controlling or limiting a woman's access to money and resources, making it hard for her to escape an abusive situation or gain independence. It's a subtle but potent weapon in the hands of abusers.

Causes and Consequences "Unveiling the Pain Behind the Shadows"

Gender-based violence has its origins in a complex web of factors, these include issues like alcohol, financial struggles, limited education, mental health problems, and more.

Alcohol, for instance, can sometimes fuel violent behavior. Financial difficulties can create tension, while a lack of education about healthy relationships and respect can lead to violence. Mental health issues can also play a part, making it crucial to address them.

The effects of gender-based violence ripple through women's lives and society as a whole. Women may endure physical harm, but there are far-reaching psychological consequences too. For society, there are scars that run deeper than the eye can see. But perhaps the most heart-wrenching impact is on the children, who often suffer the most. They witness violence, which can leave them traumatized and anxious. Some even consider taking their own lives. The scars left by this violence, both seen and unseen, cast a long shadow over families and communities, especially on the children who are meant to be protected.

Hey.. Still here, sorry for radio silence for awhile. Managed to write the next chapter for Break The Cycle. Also will update Prophecy this week. Thanks for your patience 🖤

Chapters - 13/? Fandom - The Powerpuff Girls Characters - Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, Brick, Butch, Boomer Tags - Slightly AU, aged up characters, future fic, married life, adulthood, parenthood, drama, romance Sequel to Poison & Wine - best to be familiar with this story for clarity Summary - Blossom has some demons to face, Bubbles has some demons to beat, and Buttercup has three demons to raise, thanks to Butch. PPG & RRB in their mid 30's trying to navigate adult life, marriage and parenthood - slightly AU but not really.

‘Chapter 13: Looking your best’ snippet:

Everything felt as though it was in slow motion around her. She could see Tess’ mouth moving but she couldn’t hear a single thing. Just an eerie silence, the only thing she could hear was her heart, beating rapidly. Like a pulsing bass drum in her ear.

Patient’s name: John Utonium. Patient’s name: John Utonium. Her eyes darted from Tess’ face to the sheet of paper in her hand but no matter how many times she looked at it, it didn’t change.

Her father was the suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage. Her father was the ‘Code blue’. Her father was in cardiac arrest. His heart had stopped beating. He was suspected to have bleeding on his brain.

Tess gripped at Blossom’s arm, her voice raising. “Blossom! Sweetie, I need you to leave the floor. We need to move - we need you out of here, please.” Her voice was stern; her expression soft.

The physical touch brought the pink puff back to earth. “I’m not going anywhere.” She told her firmly.

“Blossom, no - that’s not a good id-” Tess was cut off by the doors to their ward flying open. The Professor was wheeled in on a gurney, surrounded by a flurry of EMT’s.

The Over IT Over Haul...My Decision to Make 2023 For Me!

There is a song that plays incessantly on the radio. You’ve heard it either via TikTok, your own indulgence in pop music or because your children also control your play list when in the car. If not, then consider an upbeat tune that has a happy and fast pace beat. Once you’ve got that down, listen to the words. “Do you ever get a little bit tired of life? Like you’re not really happy but you…

“The first step is telling the truth”

This is something that applies to all aspects of our lives. You don't need to tell anyone, you just need to be honest with yourself. There is a difference between telling the truth and not lying. You can get out of not lying by avoiding or diverting the topic. However, telling the truth requires a level of self-belief and confidence that I believe is necessary to get us to where we want to be in our lives. After experiencing depression and being gaslit for the first half of my life, I realized just how important it is to be honest with ourselves whether it’s about our emotions, opinions, finances, or facts on what happened. We start by taking a stand with ourselves first, allowing roots to take place before anyone else has a chance to uproot them.
