Bye.

That sounds like a “you” issue.

The last man I loved years ago,

Told me how insufficient I was, and depleted me.

But everything I have today - I did myself. I did it.

Been a while since a sad song has hit this hard

The world looks better with a hazy lens

Separate from the thoughts within me if only briefly or fully submerged within them. But just no longer intimidated by them.

The line between healthy, necessary, and avoidance are thin. So I dance along it

Wow I started working out again avidly and endorphins are real. Confidence is regrowing. I feel empowered to make the changes I want in my life. Wow.

“James Baldwin writes about suffering in the healing process, stating: “I do not mean to be sentimental about suffering—but people who cannot suffer can never grow up, can never discover who they are.” Growing up is, at heart, the process of learning to take responsibility for whatever happens in your life. To choose growth is to embrace a love that heals.”

— Bell Hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“Maybe time didn’t heal wounds exactly, but it gave you a kind of armor, or a new perspective. A way to remember with a smile instead of a sob.”

“If a person cannot solve a conflict with a friend, how can they possibly contribute to larger efforts for peace? If we refuse to speak to a friend because we project our anxieties onto an email they wrote, how are we going to welcome refugees, immigrants, and the homeless into our communities? The values required for social repair are the same values required for personal repair. And so this discussion must begin in the most micro experience. Confusing being mortal with being threatened can occur in any realm. The fact that something could go wrong does not mean that we are in danger. It means that we are alive. Mortality is the sign of life.”
