Felt worse today than I have in years. I needed most of these yet I feel I need more.

I know some people think these are super cheesy. But for some of us, these are exactly what we needed to read today.
eathotdog
I thought we all agreed to stop calling this word porn.
Frogodo25
Fuck you OP (but +1 because I'm not a total bitch).
zawdin
These would be so much better if half of them didn't say "word porn".
ampzilla
Woke up tonight from a dream about him. Tried to feel better through funny pictures this is the post that helped me tonight.

I think it interesting how we can be so horribly lost and keep going each day. Not even knowing how some days but here we are.

STOP saying "word porn". Please and thank you.

I try to send my girlfriend something nice every couple nights to put a smile on her face before she goes to bed and when I can't think 1/3?

Of something I send her something fitting from these, and every time I run out, another one of these posts shows up.2/2(not 3)

Part of me just wants to be that little old man in #8, in his comfy cardigan, cozied up to the woman he's loved for 50 years. I want that.
TehBurritoButt
And the other part(s)?
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Well, just not trying to wish my life away. I know there's a lot of good to experience in the years between now & then. That's all I meant.
DancingJuice
Can we remove the word 'porn' from these writings? Seems to lessen their impact.
Efreeti
Seconded
FeelMoreLikeIdoRightNowThanIdidAwhileAgo
And for some reason my brain has to read it everytime, i can't just skim past it and ignore it.

#13 I have had so many days, and still nothing happened :(

The one that talks about not talking bad about yourself really hit home for me.

It's the looks that attract. But it's the personality that makes you stay.

#23 hit too close to home. For once, I've never thought of that when thinking about or attempting it.

same here my friend. same here

In all honesty - without the attempt to be argumentative - I HATED that one. Seemed to dismiss that people let go when all that isn't enough

I know how you feel mate, but hey if you want to talk this stranger will listen. Until then, "have a day".

Just depressed enough for porn porn.

It's kinda scratching at me, I've been in for years, feel like I'm maybe starting to pull up.

That's awesome. Keep going. Slow is fine. Took me two years.

Calling it 'Word Porn' is a huge middle finger to the topic and concept

look up the definition of porn.

A friend of mine opened a WhatsApp group where friends could send pictures of their children. She called it child porn......

OnceIThoughtIWasWrongButIWasMistsken
What bothers me about these, especially the 'love' ones, is that they all imply love is romantic. Love everyone, your neighbour and that guy
TedDaniel
Took the words out of my mouth , applying these in that context still has a of relevance

magneticmagic3
I hate writings that imply your life doesn't have weight and value until you find a SO...some of the most amazing people I know are single.
ForSomeAbstractReason
Being single doesn't mean they don't have a significant other person in which they open up to fully, it could be a best friend or sibling.
LuckyWristbands
But it is a basic human desire, so it's reasonable and common
Jimmycjacobs
I think it's directed at those who quest for that.
MadEyeMoodyBooty
Yeah, these don't uplift me, but instead remind me of how lonely I am

firetothislife
I agree. I was whole when I was single, and then I met Greg and he was a whole person too, and he never asked me to be less. In fact, he's
firetothislife
helped me grow, and helped me be strong, and he fosters all the parts of me that I love and that make me unique, and I hope I do the same

for him. And I started understanding these quotes. I was strong and whole and happy single, but now when my strength falters, I have his too

It helps to know people understand that sometimes you don't want to feel better, sometimes you just want to feel ok.
rachhrachhrachh
Because feeling better takes time, but feeling okay is the first step

I feel this.

As a dude who recently got left, I kind of really needed some of this stuff.

I enjoy most of these quotes, I only wish it didn't say "Word Porn" on it.
Lancebosh
It was so close.
Groovioles
It's kind of ironic that we have all this beautiful and expressive writing, and the name we came up with for it was 'word porn'.

natenatenatenatenate
Was thinking the same thing the whole time.
SleeperSix
Corrected this one for my wife. :) /a/HH3TM
magicalkiwi
It is a lot like porn though, nice to look at but ultimately hollow, shallow and has a tendency to skew your expectations of romance.
apropositionforyou
100% yep, was thinking that the whole time.

IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
I dont know the obsession with adding porn to the end of things. Like its lost its meaning.
thelonelymathematician
Seriously, nothing wrong with porn but just, save that for the boobies and not your dumb recipes or quotes.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Exactly/ earth porn and word porn make no sense!
Flyndaran
Life Hack: stop using porn and hack in every damn post. ;)
thelonelymathematician
That too! The word hack has lost all meaning.

I know. There should be more meaning porn.

Porn comes from the Greek porno graphia, which translates to a depiction of prostitution; porn literally means prostitution, not excess.
Imsurroundedbyaholes
Porn: short for pornography which, by definition, is the depiction of erotic behaviors intended to cause SEXUAL excitement. Ref- dictionary
Vatatheo
DrOfMachetecine
What I thought, too. I don't cry when I'm sad. I just feel empty. Then I carry on.
poeprodigy
Agreed. More likely this means you are deeply repressed
DeadOnionSaysWhat
Sometimes. I have stories I haven't told in years and when I tell them now I realize they just don't elicit the same emotion.
Huldra
I am not healed. I still cry over some things. But its getting a tad better
ThePiniestApple
It depends on the situation and the person, but for me at least I'd say you learn to repress the emotions when around other people.
IHeartGorg
My thoughts exactly.
YeOldeFriskyDingo
I still cry. I still cry
undeadmonkey
Simply because you don't cry about something does not mean it doesn't hurt. It simply means you've told it plenty times
rachhrachhrachh
This is all too true
Ryykur
Yah Ikr? I just don't cry because I internalize too much so I don't really feel anything at all. It's terrible. But yah I can't cry.
ihatefeelings
You start off numb to the pain, no tears. Then when out of the crisis you cry, maybe for years. Then you get to healing and not crying.
Andigiveyou
When you've healed, the narrative of your story changes. It didn't end in tragedy. The tragedy was merely a plot device.
ImSquatchingYou
I love this.
uhmsoyeah
Maybe not want to cry
hottpunkchick
True to an extent. But it's also true that everyone experiences things a little differently so no one quote will fully encapsulate 1/2
hottpunkchick
Every experience. 2/2
WhereAreTheLashes
So many therapists and counsellors, I'm just used to telling the story.
Vatatheo
Exactly
EveryBodyLovesMe
And yet for me, it is very true. I might not shed real tears, but I sob on the inside. It is getting less day by day, though.
Vatatheo
Just remember, everybody loves you =)
EveryBodyLovesMe

Ceracuse
Like the death of someone's child, they'll always cry because they loved them, but this quote is true to an extent of less traumatic stories
NoAsBigAsMediumSizedJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
I feel like the quote rings true in a scenario like that too. you always cry not only because you love them but because you never quite heal
AwesomelyLonely
"Less traumatic"... Do you ever look at someone and feel so so far from them... So alien. And you recognise that it's because they've never/

Wished for something to be just a little "Less traumatic".

One can heal, but the scar is permanent
AnAspiringImgurian
Sometimes even the scar can heal, and you are left with the blissful realization that you are free from wounds you didn't know you still had
etcnotect
What I meant is the experience can not be erased, even if you manage to recover.
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
I can talk about my past traumas without crying, but there are still nightmares every night. I haven't healed & won't for a while.
Brix83
Well said. It's been decades and I'm still not right. Never will be. But, I stopped crying long ago.
THEOTHERUPVOTEFAIRY
That's what I fear will happen. It's only been since 2012 that I have been free, but I lived with it for 16 years.
Brix83
It gets easier to carry over time. You get stronger and you cope better. It's important to cope in healthy ways. I wish you the best.

If you want, I'm more than willing to sit and listen and talk about it with you.

When you are healed, the trauma is no longer your story, simply a chapter of it.
