Growing up with emotional abuse makes you want to avoid people when you feel bad instead of seeking someone out.

Because your abuser always told you you weren’t really upset.

Or that what you’re upset about is trivial.

Or that you’re overreacting again.

Or that your being upset is ruining everyone else’s mood.

Or that you’re being a baby.

Or that you need a thicker skin.

Or you’re told to go away until you can be a decent person again.

You believe your feelings don’t matter unless you express the “right” ones the “right” way at the “right” time, and you can never do it “right.”

You believe everybody has it worse, so there’s no point in talking about it when you feel bad.

It’s easier to isolate yourself when you’re sad, angry or hurt because it feels easier than “inflicting” yourself on somebody else.

Even when there are beautiful people in your life who say you can always come to them, you still don’t because you’re scared.


That is what sits at the center of who I am. It’s like an abscess that won’t pop or drain. And when it hurts, it hurts.

While hunting out my much loved copy of Neverwhere on my book shelf I was struck by how many of the great British authors I grew up reading where no longer around. Douglas Adams, David Gemmell, James Herbert, And of course Terry Pratchett. To name just a few. Been able to enrich people’s life’s and bring joy is a wonderful thing. Not really a question but I just wanted to say thank you for all the pleasure you have given.

Three no-longer-with-us friends and an acquaintance (whom I liked). You are welcome.

suicidal-highfunctioning-moose asked:

I actually didn’t read the book yet so if this is only a problem about the series my deepest excuses. When Newton meets the kids he crushes the car (like in the prediction) but right after we see him and Anathema leave for the place where the apocalypse is taken place with the same car, how it that possible? Did I miss something? Anyway big fan of your characters

Because the Robin Reliant cars had lightweight fibre-glass bodies. So they were lightweight enough that the Them were able to flip it back over.

If you look carefully though, you’ll notice that the car door on Newt’s side is missing after the crash.

madmanswords asked:

Several years ago I asked you how I can not give up and you said "Because things can get better. Because circumstances can change. Because once you’ve given up, it’s a lot harder to start again." It means so much to me that you responded and you said something so beautiful. I'm in a really bad place again and I keep reading that and it's helping. I just want you to know that it is helping. I hope it helps me win. Thank you.

I’m really glad you didn’t give up then and you aren’t giving up now.

skellylicious asked:

My greatest dream when I finally write my novel, would be to have a movie or TV series made out of it. Over the years I've seen some adaptations that were frankly terrible, that nobody was happy with, including the author. However, yours seem consistently high quality. I was wondering if there are any adaptations you're not entirely happy with, or if you have a certain way of approaching this process that usually yields positive results. Maybe it's just knowing the right people?

I try to get involved and to offer advice, whether people take it or not.

As a young man, my friends tended to distance themselves from film and TV adaptations, or to find themselves distanced by the people making it. The results were not always good. I try and only sell to people I like and trust, often not the people who are offering to pay the most money, who are open to my being part of the process and often are actually thrilled if I can offer advice.

My aunt and uncle never had kids. They’ve had a Disney timeshare and regularly gone to Disney World since 1993. Where is this weird “Disney parks are only for families with kids” entitled attitude coming from?

And of course blame millennials because why not

This is hilarious to me, because I recognize on a bone deep level that running after a toddler at DW all day can make one insane.

But seriously, if you're at DW with a 3yo, that's your mistake. I've made that mistake, just don't do it. They're too little to be allowed on like 98% of the attractions, and the noise and crowd are just too much for them. It's very unlikely the day will end without them breaking up in tears.

DW really isn't a great place for toddlers. They'll enjoy the whole thing much more when they're a bit older.

I am just wondering about what would happen if all parents with kids could skip the queue.

Like, a 'skipping-the-queue' queue?

bring me my pretzel bitch your three year old isn't even going to remember or appreciate the trip you brought this on yourself
