#sitting here at 2am thinking this exact thing #my mom hates me a lot and is p much not speaking to me or my youngest sibling #but I have my favourite people in my house rn and I was at some of my other favourite people’s house last night #and it’s just like YEAH found family chosen family surrounding yourself with people who share your joy & your heaviness & everything else #I’m so endlessly lucky to have such cool siblings and wonderful humans around all of us

Sometimes, every living thing just sounds like: Please.

Other times, Please don’t. Please no.

“Hung on my bedroom wall is the quote attributed to Joan of Arc: “I am not afraid. I was born to do this.” However my life unfolds, goes my thinking, is how I am meant to live it; however my life unspools itself, I was created to bear it.”

— Esmé Weijun Wang, The Collected Schizophrenias

#love this except I am so afraid and am beginning to wonder if I have the stomach to do this tbh

#ugh so much love in my heart for this theme #bc life has been particularly fucking brutal lately but then there are moments of ‘oh. yeah. this!’#and those moments are so important #my safe happy warm weekends with my best friends sleeping in my living room heal the immense hurt brought on by family (mom) shit every week #very found family in the best way #and two weeks of good conversation and smiles and hugs and laughter with a client who struggles so chronically and so intensely #heal both of us from how messy and scary and sad things have been so far this year #and I am always repeating myself when he is really low and reaching out to me for support #like over and over again I say how the bad parts are really shitty but the good parts are really good #and we aren’t going to fix everything but we are gonna keep moving until we find the next good part bc it always comes #the concept just means a lot to me #like it’s bad a lot but there’s been good before and there will be good again #I tell everybody (including myself) that shit bc it’s TRUE and there is so much LOVE and JOY and WARMTH out there
