"It's a weird thing, having those moments of clarity after such long periods of depression filled fog. You'll be sitting there, totally detached from what's going on around you, and then bam. Something shifts inside of you, and you realize that what once held you in a vice grip isn't as strong as you once thought. Sure, certain events will still trigger you, someone raising their voice at you because of something not entirely your fault, or doing something wrong because your brain doesn't quite understand that it was wrong. But for once your mind doesn't spiral out of control at these things. You feel them and you allow them to flow through you instead of being dammed up inside until the pressure makes it hard to breathe." For the first time in, embarrassingly, over a month I did laundry. And I purged my space, getting rid of so much stuff that I didn't need or want in the first place. I cleaned and mopped and redecorated my small living area. I made adult decisions and planned and am working on getting a space of my own so I feel as though I accomplished something. #sacredpause #embodysurrender #sacredspace #artofattention #boundariesandprotection
