This is especially important to talk about in queer relationships, where identity, secrecy, attraction, and fear of judgment can sometimes create complicated dynamics.
Documentation isn't just for workplaces or legal situations. It's also a way to protect your memory, recognize patterns, and understand how someone's behavior is affecting you.
When someone's words and actions don't match, having a record of what actually happened can help you separate facts from assumptions.
You don't have to figure out someone's intentions to recognize how their behavior impacts you.

📌 Documentation isn't just about protecting yourself from other people. It's also about protecting your ability to trust your own experiences, especially when someone's words and actions don't match. - You can document what someone says, what they do, how they treat you privately versus publicly, and how those interactions affect you. Over time, you may start noticing patterns that weren't obvious in the moment. - You don't have to assume someone's intentions. Just document what actually happened and allow yourself to look at the bigger picture. - 💬 Have you ever experienced someone treating you completely differently in private than they did around other people? - 🌱 I'm also advocating for student-worker protections at The University of Arizona. Petition in BI-0!
