setting a place for myself
healing is letting myself have the good plates, even if they get a little dirty sometimes.
i picked myself out some new dishes today pretty pink ceramics; plates, bowls, & mugs i threw away the dull plastics, and thanked them for serving me through all of the mold i thought that genuine dishware would shame me for leaving it dirty, so i never bought any. why should i treat myself to something i wouldn't have the energy to actually take care of? setting a place for myself at the table for the first time and hearing the clink of my fork against the pink ceramic plate healed something in me that i didn't realize was so deeply broken
