🌸 Who am I? 🌸

You can call me Little! 🌸
I am a Female (She/Her) and soon to be 20 years old 🥳
(18+ Please)
🌸 About Me: 🌸

Now that I'm finally in a safe place, I’m trying to process old childhood trauma that my mind and body held onto for way too long. I deal with social anxiety, shyness, low motivation, and more but I’m working on finding real ways to heal.

When I’m not working through the heavy stuff, I’m usually hanging out with my boyfriend, writing poetry, needle felting, doodling, or building things like animal enclosures. I have a dog, a large collection of snakes (including Keiko, my ball python since 2021), many aquariums, and a few bugs like jumping spiders and a mantis <3
I love talking about my pets, so feel free to ask me about them any time!!

🌸 Why I’m here: 🌸

I'm mainly here to get stuff off my chest, express myself honestly, learn anbout other’s experiences, and maybe make a few genuine friends along the way. I value real honesty over fake positivity. Just a quick heads up: I am strictly agnostic/non-religious due to past experiences, so please avoid spiritual advice or religious talk.

Taking things slowly, 1 step at a time.

...See more 🌸 Little’s Public Diary 🌸 I will be posting in here as frequently as I can (hopefully daily), in reply form.

Duality of Nihility (A contrapuntal about my tulpa)
Poetry / by Little09
Last post
 Thursday
...See more Title: Duality of Nihility First written (3-7-25) by Little A contrapuntal: read the left column down, then the right column, then lastly read left to right as you would any piece of text. This is a poem that I am personally proud of, and it talks about my relationship with my Tulpa, (imaginary friend) who helped me a lot throughout the hard times, but at what cost? ------------------------- He watches over me. | His gaze never strays. He speaks to me softly. |  My mind becomes his, submerged in a silent abyss. He wraps his arms around me. | His hands are chains I can't break. He guards my mind. | Turning my thoughts foreign. With him I can't feel pain. | As he devours me entirely. I become someone else, someone safe. | I am no longer recognisable. I can trust him. | As All truth has ceased to exist. He will never leave me. | I will never escape him. ------------------------- In case it was hard to read: He watches over me, He speaks to me softly, He wraps his arms around me, He guards my mind, With him I can’t feel pain. I become someone else, Someone safe. I can trust him. He will never leave me. His gaze never strays. My mind becomes his, submerged in a silent abyss. His hands are chains I cannot break, Turning my thoughts foreign, As he devours me entirely. I am no longer recognizable, As all truth has ceased to exist. I will never escape him. He watches over me, | His gaze never strays.  He speaks to me softly, | My mind becomes his, submerged in a silent abyss.  He wraps his arms around me, | His hands are chains I can't break.  He guards my mind, | Turning my thoughts foreign.  With him I can't feel pain | As he devours me entirely.  I become someone else, someone safe. | I am no longer recognizable.  I can trust him, | As All truth has ceased to exist.  He will never leave me. | I will never escape him.

Tulpas/Imaginary friends (Quick thought dump)
Journals & Diaries / by Little09

...See more Have you ever made a tulpa before? Basically an imaginary friend. I have, and it wasn’t on purpose. He was supportive and listened to me like no other. I made him when I was young and he went away for a few years and came back when things got bad. At that point I got very worried because he wasn’t who I made him out to be originally. He was scary. Basically an embodiment of intrusive/invasive thoughts. I developed severe paranoia, until I realized something needed to change. I tried my best to understand him through tons of poetry, and research and finally discovered who he was, why he was here, and how he came to be. I ended up turning him “nice” instead of “evil” and eventually he peacefully went away and I never had to worry about it again. If you have ever had an imaginary friend, I would love to hear about them!

...See more Hello! My name is Little (she/her) and I am 19 years old A little bit about me, I am an avid animal lover, as I have a few bugs like jumping spiders and a praying mantis, as well as 10 snakes, and several aquariums! I could talk about them for hours, so if you want to just listen to some yap, feel free to ask me about them! I am in a long-term loving relationship, so when I’m not studying or caring for my pets, I’m hanging out with my partner. I have a complicated past, but the waves have finally settled and I’m ready for my healing journey! ------------------------- I’m new to this site, but so far everyone seems incredibly caring and supportive. I’m looking forward towards listening to others, as well as getting the opportunity to be listened to, while getting difficult things off of my chest. Although I’m excited, I am also somewhat nervous and overwhelmed. I’m having a slightly difficult time navigating through the tons of communities here, and I’m not sure what’s right for me. I’ve been looking through the site for a couple hours yet still anxious to get my first message out there. I’m not sure what the “right way” to use this app is, so any suggestions or guidance is welcome. I’m trying my best to get out of my comfort zone and make new friends or at least some meaningful conversations, so all help is appreciated. It’s a pleasure to meet you all!
