What can you do about it?
Rise. Let seawater swim in your eyes. Collect the overflow and dive right in. Emerge from the briny deep with perfect beachy waves. Curl your toes in the sand. Soothe the ache in your bones with handfuls of sunlight. Respond to that text. Hit the send button with your middle finger. Close your eyes. Listen to the way the wind warms the world with her breath. Do some breathwork of your own. Stand open mouth to the rain. Satisfy your thirst. Unleash your howl. Let her echo unhinge the jaw of night. Wander for a while. Count on the stars to guide you home. Get back into bed. Kiss. Kiss—a lot. Love even more. Polish off the dark with the draft of freshly fallen snow you bottled last winter. The one you’ve been saving for a five-alarm summer. Remember the flavor. You can write it all down later. Call it Poetry.
Because if it made you feel alive, it is.

Could
It's easy to wish for changes:
Could I have time with her again?
Could I have been a better daughter or friend?
Could yesterday come back, I made some mistakes,
But here is where we're living,
We can't reverse or hit the breaks.
It's easy to dream for tomorrow:
Could I climb a mountain?
Could I travel far and wide?
Could I see the sunset greeting,
Sailing with the tide?
But here is where we're living,
There's no tomorrow without today,
And skills need to be building
If those dreams will come my way.
So could I do something now
To make myself feel bright?
Could I have a meal or make a treat
Or simply let my feelings out?
Could I find a path to freedom now,
And see where that might go?
So many things are there I could do,
I've got a few steps to try
And maybe so could you?

bc I have "stitches" atm, I cannot take a proper shower but this is really making me more aware of my body and keeping me more in touch with it, which is very helpful in grounding myself and staying present, but also showing care to myself and coming back to my core. I have to take it slow too, which is of help as well (despite annoying)... this is to remind myself that not all that seems negative really is. there's a positive side too, and it's good to consider it as well.
and others' words can surely hurt, when they judge you and your body according on their own triggers, but the only thing that matters is that you feel good with yourself. there's always time to change anything YOU (not others) want, if you really need to.

I dare not dream
Of hope and love
The worth of which I haven't.
I dare not hope
To dream of love
Acceptance I can't imagine.
I dare not love
Or hope or dream
Because it's hurt me way too often.
But then the hands
That reach around me
Draw my mind back to the present.
They let me dream,
Love me, grant hope,
Remind me the future can be better.
I can now dream,
And hope, and love,
Despite the fear that's ever present.

Bring a parent is a privilege but that never ending process brings as much joy as it does pain! Trauma is generational and slaps you down when you think you are riding high.

Learning to pick your hyperfocus
I NEED a perfectly proportioned hyperfocus right now to bridge the time before we move into our new house as the waiting is driving me nuts…but I also realise can’t go on with the hyperfocus I was starting to get sucked into yesterday (until I got interrupted) as its just too big and juicy and would absorb me for days. Thankfully, an interruption dragged me out of it before I had dived right in,…

these days felt like me getting sliced in half just so I could exists in both worlds- the future and the present.
I just hope the present will tighten its grip on me.
