constellatedlove

live. live messy and vibrant and warm and wholeheartedly. dare to embrace the parts of yourself that are confusing and complex and don’t come in pretty packages. let yourself accept the love and light you engulf others in. live and live unapologetically as yourself, the battered, bruised and muddled parts included.

Shoutout to people living in pain everyday, so much so it interferes with their lives. It's okay if you can't do things that others see as simple. It's okay to be exhausted. It's okay to want relief and seek help. It's okay to count on other people to help you. You are not a burden. Your body and your mind are not weak, they are not broken, they are not messed up, they have been so strong enduring all this pain, and so have you. Give yourself a break from the pressure to be constantly working to be productive. There is productivity in resting and healing too. It's what you need now, and it is absolutely okay (and natural!) to have these needs and to listen to them. Prioritize your health. 🌿

Whenever I take a long car ride I end up exhausted afterwards, and I'm always like "why am I so tired? I was just sitting around doing nothing all day."

But the answer, it turns out, is I was doing something. Riding in a car jars your body in many directions and requires constant microadjustments of your muscles just to stay in place and hold your normal posture. Because you're inside the car, inside the situation, it's easy not to notice all the extra work you're doing just to maintain the status quo.

There's all sorts of type of work that we think of as "free" that require spending energy: concentrating, making decisions, managing anxiety, maintaining hypervigilance in an unfriendly environment, dealing with stereotype threat, processing a lot of sensory input, repairing skin cells damaged sun exposure, trying to stay warm in a cold room.

The next time you think you're tired from "nothing", consider instead that you're probably in situation where you're doing a lot of unnoticed extra work just to stay in place.
