I've decided that I may need a holiday. Not a silent retreat, but definitely in nature. The 100 acre woods would be perfect. I could share empathic conversations with Eeyore, rage with Rabbit if I needed it, find joy with Tigger, and sit alongside Pooh and Piglet on hard days.

I've not made any resolutions for 2025. They always feel wrong.
I've now decided to set an intention for 2025.
I want to quiet my mind so I can truly hear myself.
Quieting my mind without busying it with academic pursuits is a big ask for me.

My oldest daughter is moving out of the house to start working after studies. She is overwhelmed and scared. Telling her it's okay to do this when she's scared is the right thing, I know. I'm petrified. This part of parenting, where I sit in that fear with her =2 stars, would not recommend.

Going through a dark period in my life, but I've been able to do productive work the past two days, made trial-run dishes for a lunch next week, and my pain actually stayed under an 8/10 the whole time I was doing that. Need meds now because 👆🏽 = pain when you have a #dynamicdisability but 🤷🏽‍♀️

2024 has been, and continues to be, rough. But I shared this Gif with my therapist today... I'm ready to say goodbye to it

Creating things really helps me find some meditative peace. It's part of my daily metal health workout. Recently started doing resin moulds. These earrings will be hanginspecimy person's ears 💜

I recently heard Dr Gabor Mate explain how speaking about feelings helps to process because of the way the brain works. I wish it was less scary to do.

I'm 43, so my intro to SM was ICQ, at 7pm, because, Telkom. Then, chatrooms at 25 for pregnant moms when I was about to have my 2nd, then FB, etc. I'm unlikely to curate my account here in any way, shape, or form. My habits have changed, so I'm more deliberate in how I engage, but otherwise...

Your personhood matters. That doesn't change when someone treats you like a statistic, lumps you in w/ a group, or dismisses you because of a prejudice or assumption of theirs. It's gonna trigger our trauma rejection & abandonment wounds-- but remember: you absolutely matter.

Still, I rise
