Oh, it’s just me in my happy place after an eventful morning. I haven’t posted many pictures of my face lately. Partly, I guess, because my hair is growing out and my skin is having re-entry culture shock and I feel like I don’t look my best. Partly, also, because I’ve been doing deep inner work and taking pictures of my face hasn’t felt resonant with that work. But this does. My face, with its acne and blotchy redness. My weird shaggy hair. My hairy legs and busted pedicure. Enjoying a moment in the water, beaming with joy and gratitude despite 3.45am wakeups and dogs that go missing as they chase bush turkeys. A year ago, I wouldn’t have stopped to have a swim. I would have raced home to cry and panic and berate myself. The work works. #beyourownbeloved #dothedamnwork #rainbow #doublerainbow #waterbaby #beachbabe #triplecancer #complexptsd #anxiety #vksnewadventure (at La Balsa Park, Point Cartwright) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw79jBdFnXg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4mjm314gkis
