Victim of my own bullshit
People tend to open up to me. I’m a safe place and it’s disarming. Others are often surprised after they divulge their childhood trauma so easily, but I’m not surprised, it’s a gift of mine. After work I met a coworker (who I like) for a drink. I finally said the quiet part outloud that I’m into him, he’s obviously into me. He agreed then proceeds to divulge that he’s an alcoholic and childhood trauma and family history of addiction. The blessing is he is self aware enough and respects me enough to not pursue me and wave his red flag right in my face and own it. And why tf do I find attraction to these self abandoning men?! Always an addict, emotionally unavailable etc … and in meditation about it I said “I’m sick of being a victim of my own bullshit!” Ive choosen these men because they abandon me and then I’m chasing my own tail again and again. It’s not a payoff anymore and I think I needed this final attraction to the old pattern to break it once and for all!!!
