borderline excellence

it's hard to explain.

I sent this photo to Travis and told him I was a menace in 2018, and he sent this photo of him on 2018 as a response.

We truly did meet each other at the perfect time.

"I don't just love you on your good days," he said yesterday. "I love you every day. And I'm going to tell you about it every day for the rest of my life."

I sent him the symptoms of BPD because I'd read that people can go "into remission." I am not sure I can say that's true for me yet, but he agreed that I am so much healthier than I was even back when he met me.

Part of that is thanks to him, but even more of it is thanks to me. I really did work so hard for every bit of this.

"You deserve to be loved," he said. "I'm just thankful to be the one who gets to do it."

Oh, Universe. I am just astonished sometimes.

Everyone who plays around with Tarot cards long enough winds up with a “bad” card that they love. I just barely persuaded my husband not to get the Ten of Swords tattooed on his body; traditionally, it shows a corpse with ten swords stuck in their body and means “utter ruin,” but he thought that if it took ten swords to kill you, then you must have put up a pretty good fight.

honestly this is the most badass ten of swords interpretation i've ever heard.  i'm stealing this

Everything that came in your life

️have been served by love,

even painful things,

that you may grow,

that you may transcend.

The minute you begin

to say "thank you" for them,

then you are released from them.

You have no natural enemy

in the universe except

your own thinking.

You must transcend

the dark ways of the mind and

transcend it without cynicism.

You must not lose your gratitude

and your appreciation and

thank God for everything.

I thought I might share one of my new tattoos. A couple years ago, a dear friend and I coined the term “fish bag moment”

A fish bag moment might be sitting all alone in an empty new apartment after coming out and upending your life, or starting a new job in a brand new line of work because it’s closer to your dreams

It’s what happens when you take a leap of faith or make a hard decision for yourself, when the future is so hard to visualize and everything feels scary. You’re just a fish in a bag and you can’t see where you’re going

But you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium

Ugh a coworker I adore is leaving for a new job opportunity. She was talking about how she’s happy and excited, but also sad and scared and nervous. I was like “omg you’re having a fishbag moment! Those feelings are what this tattoo represents!”

She said “I don’t like this feeling why would you get that tattooed on you”

And I said “because it means you’re on your way to a bigger aquarium 😌”

She had to walk away bc she started crying lol, and then shouted “THAT WAS CUTE” at me from down the hall
