there’s so much in me that wants to be known but i don’t know the words to explain it. where can i find them? who would want to listen?

my gf keeps saying i’m beautiful which is ostensibly a very kind & sweet thing but it’s just hard for me to take it in bc i haven’t been sleeping well and i basically have a beard rn and i’m avoiding my stress about money. she is seeing something that i’m not feeling at all rn. i spent today educating someone who has pissed me off quite a bit this past year and they communicated that the conversation was helpful to them, but i’m not sure if they’re really willing to do the work. i’m not gonna stop trying to teach but it is extremely hard to be holding all of these things without blowing up at everyone rn. my brain feels literally tired 24/7 between the horrible images, supporting my gf thru her health stuff, checking in on my community, trying to be kind to my family. how much generosity i’ve had to extend while witnessing some of the most horrific events in the world. how much generosity i’ve had to extend despite feeling harmed in some situations. how much generosity i’ve had to extend despite the lack of reciprocity i’ve experienced consistently from relationships.

but there are moments with loved ones that do provide actual moments of relief. on friday when we sat on a’s stoop, laughing & smoking together, taking a lengthy break from (COVID-safe) the party. when fy told me she didn’t like her behavior with me the day before and brought treats for us to enjoy our work together. the way my gf is practicing communicating certain expectations on our convos so i can better understand how to respond to her. telling some organizing friends abt my gf’s health stuff and the work i’ve been taking on to support and being allowed to feel alone & overworked bc her community is just not here. the way my gf is actively trying to help my sister unlearn some patriarchal/ableist programming. almost daily vns to j and us watching bend it like beckham. j from the garden inviting me to a hannukah dinner & hearing my ask for covid safety. m asking if i was around for dinner with her & her ppl. k telling me that they would help me with my writing if i ever wanted to get published.

the topic in last week’s herbalism class was “you are the center of your universe”, and someone in my group brought up how being steadfast in their center has rippled out changes into their universe. i’m feeling more and more connected to the universe that i’m cultivating for myself. i’m seeing how my 8H gemini sun self is rippling outwards. and i’m seeing how other ppls’ fixed centers have rippled out to me. so maybe i am beautiful and maybe i do help people to learn and change. maybe all the moments when i’m trying to generatively teach ppl i don’t really love and feel angry abt teaching are moving the collective towards liberation. i am grateful to have a gf who is willing to collaborate with me. her resilience in spite of everything she has dealt with things are so sad and upsetting and i just had to spend the last two days catching up on work for my contract job so i could say i completed something and not feel like i was getting fired. and i’m just ready for the new world. i don’t have all the answers but i’m ready to experiment and figure it out. bc there has to be another way than this.
