how many times have you been in love?

perhaps ~ a hundred times
since yesterday..i say

the puppy
the monotony
the snowfall
the dawn

Not everyone wants awareness.
Some people just want relief.
Curiosity demands humility, and most egos won't survive that.

“Therapy helps but let’s be clear. You can’t CBT your way out of capitalism. You can’t mindfulness your way out of racism. You can’t self care your way out of oppression. You can’t journal your way out of ableism. This isn’t about coping, it’s about deconstructing the systems.”
