Sometimes I’ll get real disassociated in therapy listening to myself talk about things that seem so silly but i feel them so deeply. Like who do I think I am talking about how the way I was dressed as a child affected how I feel today? How am I even a reliable narrator to be telling these narrators? Was I even a child or is that version of myself locked away? Did I make this all up? Who knows! But the critic needs to shut the fuck up during therapy from now on because it is distracting and disorienting!!

in my opinion it is essential to make a "right to garden" law that means no one can stop you from growing whatever you want in your yard.

I think it should even apply to renters so a landlord is required to allow you to have a garden

And I think this can become a reality

If it begins in a few towns and cities it can spread more and more and more

I think we could do it

Given how much anti-gardening laws and regulations started out as blatantly racist responses to POC immigration, and became concerns over "neatness," it's an uphill fight-- but *absolutely* worth it.

Today I am grateful for the places and people who allow me to hold space for my negativity. Maybe some day I will look back so ashamed that I clung to ‘negativity’ so much, but let’s remind myself why I believe that I will feel the same no matter how much I age.

I find that when I am describing lived experiences or feelings other people will quickly try to shut down or redirect the conversation if they perceive it as ‘negative.’ Yes I am often describing difficult and painful things, often while emotional to the point of tears, but I don’t agree with that being a negative thing. I find it to be a rather cathartic experience because as I release whatever emotion I am feeling, it suddenly doesn’t seem so big.

So as a reminder to myself, telling hard stories helps us release the pain and holding space for that is important enough to make time for.
