I wish I could say I got out of my abusive relationship not mentally scarred but I've been living in a world of fear as of late.
why can’t I be a normal person who does normal person things instead of crying on the floor
Shoutout to abuse survivors who stayed kind, because staying kind through abuse is really hard, and shoutout to abuse survivors who couldn't stay kind, because staying kind through abuse is really hard.
It's sad that I'm an abused person now cuz I only feel sadness but also no one wants to be around a sad person so friends just leave me one by one lol
Everything ok?

This is still a horrible exploitation of animals
Buddy theyre having fun
Dog sledding has been a traditional part of Inuit (and I think other northern indigenous cultures but I'm not an expert, reconnecting Métis) for thousands of years. Hundreds of generations of people and dogs working together that way. Same thing with horses in other cultures.
I've gone dog sledding a few times and can confirm, the dogs adore it. They see the harness and they literally cannot wait. They love nothing more than running through the snow. Every sled dog I've ever met has been happy and healthy and well taken care of.
Dog sledding is not exploitation of animals, and especially not in indigenous communities. As queerautism said, they're having fun. Those dogs are happy.
