Someday you will look back and see that the mistakes were just part of the process, part of the story. You don't have to catastrophize to learn. In fact, you may learn better when you're not torturing yourself. Perhaps self-reflection does not have to mean self-flagellation. It is okay and normal to need time to learn.

you are too full of life and love to be half loved by someone. you deserve a love that feels satiating for your spirit. you deserve a love that makes you feel seen. you deserve a love that makes you feel heard. you deserve a love that listens and a love that is patient. you deserve a love that is kind and a love that feels warm. you deserve a love that makes your heart explode and a love that sends shivers down your spine. you deserve a love that takes the time to study you, that takes the time to understand your mind. you deserve a love that is patient and compassionate. you deserve a love that grows old. you deserve a love that doesn’t judge but instead accepts you wholeheartedly; flaws and all. you deserve a love that sends tingles through your whole body and leaves butterflies swarming in your stomach. you deserve a love that gives you 80 on the days that you can only give 20. you deserve a love that sends you into overdrive at the slightest thought of their touch. you deserve a love that lasts. you see how you simply read this, you deserve a love that is simple and extraordinary all in one. you deserve to be felt, you deserve to be loved. you deserve love.

“happy hellion healing”,

a photo series, 3/31/2024

I did these all by myself outside of a lovely little holiday gathering.

I am learning to love my skin again.

I held on to these for so long because I kept wanting it to be an intimate moment between myself and … myself… 😂 but I am ready to share.

and yeah .. I look pretty conventionally unconventionally …

and most days, I’m grateful for my mothers fine angles, full cheeks, and abundant lips. (despite her .. difficult attributes and personal struggle that spans through time and space to echo through me from birth to now …)

but deeply, I SEE A HAPPY HUMAN AGAIN. I see a healing human. I see a CHANGE EMBRACING powerhouse of fucking stamina and grace. I see a body excessively scarred but solid, strong, disciplined, determined, and resilient … and so so so so soft at the same time.

When I think about the methods they used to bring my little soul back to this body .. again and again… the shiver is molecular.

(supposedly)

a human being’s most inherit trait: the will to stay alive

I’ve betrayed this body by brutalizing it for every mistake, for every whisper of my mother or father’s voice, for every previous misstep, and every challenged choice, for every emotional explosion, for every mentally ill moment of grief and pain and sorrow and FEAR…x10000000 times over… and all it’s done … is keep me alive!

I see ME…CLEARLY for the first time … in a long time.

I know I have so much… wreckage from my past to wade through… but I look forward to it now. With these clearer eyes… maybe I can repurpose the absolute TAR into creativity.

👍🏽🤷🏽‍♀️🫀

i havta try.

you think you're over it and then out of the blue you're curled up on your bathroom floor listing five things you can see four things you can touch three things you can hear.

Go away! Nope.

Katara: I thought you were training lightbending with Azula?

Aang: I was but in the middle of it she started to scream and sent me away.

Katara: Where is she?

Aang: In the training facilities.

[Training facilities]

Azula: NO GO AWAY

Katara: ‘Zula, are you here?

Azula, sobbing and shaking: Katara?

Katara: Oh god Azula, what happ-

Azula: GO AWAY DON’T WANT YOU HERE GO

Katara:

Azula: I SAID GO AWAY. ARE YOU DEAF?!

*Katara goes next to her and hug her*

Katara: Who is talking to you right now?

Azula: What are you-

Katara: Azula whose voices are you hearing? Is your mother again?

Azula:

Katara: Azula?

Azula: No, it's not…It’s father this time. He’s screaming and saying awful things about me and about you, after you arrived.

Katara: Listen only to me, okay? He’s not here, you are with me, we both are strong and we’ll protect each other. Plus he can’t do shit.

Azula: He’s-

Katara: Azula, focus on me, tell me 5 things you can see?

Azula: Your necklace, a tree, your water skin, my hand wraps and my shoes.

Katara: Now, 4 things you can touch.

Azula: The floor, your tunic, your arm and my tunic.

Katara: 3 things you can hear?

Azula: Your voice, his voice and sounds of the servants far away.

Katara, hugging her tighter: We are not counting him. Tell me one more thing you hear.

Azula: Your heart.

Katara: Now, two things you can smell.

Azula: You and on contraposition how bad I smell myself. Now comes the “one thing you can taste” right?

Katara: And I think you are back.

Azula: I never know what to say in the last one. My own saliva?

Katara: Dork.

Azula: Thank you.

Katara: You're welcome.

Azula: Can we stay like this for a little bit more?

Katara: For as much time as you’d like.

Azula: Thanks.

Katara: But after that we are going to take a bath because you really smell bad.

Azula: That was the Avatar’s fault. I have to redirect a lot of lightning.

Healing is not linear. We say this a lot but actually experiencing it is hard. My anxiety has gotten so much better after I left my toxic home and working on it for years. Recently a chain of very stressful events has made it worse than it has been in a while. I haven’t been coping very well. Now I’m trying to be kind to myself and keep pushing on. It’s hard but I’m trying to remember that this is not going backwards even if it feels like it. It’s part of recovery and healing.

I made a short comic set to a favorite quote of mine about anxiety by the author C. Joybell C. way back in 2019. If you like it, check out her Goodreads for more beautiful quotes!

Hyperspecific Questions

"Please tell me I'm not the only one who has this very specific thought process!" cries Shlulky, "How will I know who I am if I don't have someone else to compare myself to!!"

#shlulky the fact that you dont hate yourself anymore is a very big step #youre still going to have negative thoughts about yourself for awhile but you will be able to manage those too eventually #you wont always feel scared and hypervigilent when talking to other people #healing is not linear #depression #major depressive disorder #generalized anxiety disorder #ego #shlulky

I know so many people say, “healing is not linear.”

But what does that even mean?

What’s up or down?

Is it a parabola instead?

Is healing a mathematical function where time is on the x-axis???

Maybe they mean that healing is NOT a function - it’s not a one-to-one function.

Healing is another type of relation… maybe? But what two sets of information are we even relating? Time and… your trauma? Growth? Some metric of “progress?”

Maybe healing is NOT a set of ordered pairs of ambiguous variables.

Do we then approach healing as its own set of complex variables that we correlate with time then? Knowing that… correlation does not imply causation, and we are simply observing healing as a process… and not manipulating or forcing it to our will with any sort of preconceived notions? (please note: we are not doing any sort of correlation analysis - just observing (especially since so much of correlation analysis is linear function based)).

OR DO WE TAKE A BAYESIAN APPROACH??

DEEP LEARNING PERHAPS?!

…

Or maybe healing isn’t supposed to be something that gets confined, shaped, and prodded into a mathematical model.

Patterns do arise but they can’t always be quantified.

Maybe healing just is - and you try your best with what you have… as long as you know you’re trying.
