  1. Breaking My Own Heart

    I have spent my life
    Breaking my own heart.
    Looking forward to (hopefully)
    Doing the opposite
    For the rest of my life.

  2. Trauma Triggered (continued)

    I went offline briefly
    But allowing is so
    Much better than resisting,
    Fearing, and trying to
    Outrun the pain.
    I’m okay.
    I am okay!
    Self-compassion is
    A wonderful thing.

  3. Trauma Triggered

    I survived once more
    The trauma triggered
    From my foot surgeries
    This morning as I saw
    Pics from the hospital
    Two years ago.
    I comforted myself as
    I was caught off guard.
    Tears poured down
    My face as the
    Trauma was triggered.
    In the past, I resisted
    Uncomfortable feelings
    But this morning
    I allowed it all while
    I told myself I was safe
    And let the pain flow.

  4. Sharing the podcast that saved my life on January 12 when another one of life’s storms had me in fight or flight mode:

    Because of my black and white thinking, I thought it was impossible to accept something I did not like. Now I know that I don’t have to like what’s happening, but I *must* accept it.

  5. I feel like a cult leader as I excitedly tell people about how embracing acceptance has changed my life for the better. 😂

    I’ve *always* had a very difficult time adjusting to the clock changes. Both directions. But I accepted the time was the time on Sunday after changing a few of my clocks + I am *fine*.

    Historically, I’ve felt like a zombie for up to 3 weeks following each clock change. I told people it’s because my internal clock is *so* accurate.

  6. Wow, my phone just randomly shut down while I was using it.

    My reaction?

    I said “okay…” and burst out laughing.

    Who *am* I?!

  7. I am still amazed at my transformation.

    Acceptance is so powerful.

    I went to the tea shop on Lonsdale + mentioned my recent experience of embracing acceptance to the owner when he asked how I was. He said I looked radiant. 🤩

    Then I bumped into my former GP + told her about embracing acceptance + feeling alive for the first time in a decade. She was happy I looked well.

    I AM ALIVE!

  8. Learning to accept myself as well as my circumstances has been transformative.

    I have lost so much. Fuck cancer!

    But I am still here.

    No longer hating myself. Finally! It’s refreshing to now befriend myself + show myself care + compassion.

    You matter!

    You are enough!

    Be your unique self!

  13. The more I learn about autistic burnout, the more I think I’m autistic. I do not have a diagnosis but a neurodivergent friend suggested I could be neurodivergent almost a year ago when I had already thought it was a possibility.

    Anyway, thank fuck for stumbling upon nervous system healing. That was the elixir I needed.

  14. My relationship with food has changed. I’m no longer craving crap + I’m forgetting to eat. Who *am* I?! My stomach was growling so I put a gluten-free waffle in the toaster oven. I haven’t even eaten half since I keep thinking of things I need to do. Just sat back down to eat the rest.

    Past me would’ve been wolfing it down + looking for the next thing. Trying to fill a hole that cannot be filled with food.

    Eating to live instead of living to eat.

  15. I’ve been fighting reality for so long. As I wrote that, my trauma was triggered in my foot (pain temporarily felt in my wound). But I’m accepting + allowing it, so it flows through.

    I’ve learned not to fight difficult times. The past several years have been the worst chapter of my life so far. So much physical + emotional pain. So many losses #FuckCancer

    I’ve been bracing myself for the next bad thing, but now I know that signals danger to my nervous system.

  16. My therapist + others have spoken to me about accepting + allowing things. I take things literally, so it *did not compute* for me until Monday night shaking in fight or flight. I now feel like myself + have more capacity. 💟

    I have been in survival mode for years. I’ve done therapy, meditation, + some nervous system healing but the most helpful piece of advice was that I do not have to like the negative things happening in my life, but:

    I *must* accept them.

  17. I have had a very challenging week. Leak in my bedroom from the atmospheric river on Monday had me in fight or flight mode most of the week. My apartment is on the ground floor. I have had leaks in the dining room before. Inconvenient but not as bad as one in the bedroom. I’ve been sleeping on the couch.

    They found the hole in the outside wall + sealed it. Now we wait until it rains again to see if it worked.

    Trying to accept + allow what I cannot control.

  18. CW: re: Thread, kink, bisexuality, self-acceptance, love, personal growth

    At least, in my experience, within the #kink community, there is a kind of #RadicalAcceptance that allows for a more diverse range of experiences around #sexuality, #desire and what #sex even is. So many vanilla #LGBTQ spaces I've been in have been overly concerned with being "the right kind" of #queer, whatever that means in a particular space. As a #bisexual who came out later in life, I felt like I was always failing at being whatever the "right" kind of queer might be.

    In the kink community, most people, again, in my experience, aren't overly concerned with being the "right" kind of anything. They're more concerned with questions like, "Does this make you feel fulfilled and happy?" or "Does this feel authentically aligned with who you are and what you want?" or "Does this make you feel good without harming anyone else?" It's just been an entirely different way of thinking about and approaching the self and identity.

  19. Having to maintain my relationship to the #narcissist that abused me is becoming the biggest challenge of my life. No contact is not an option as we have kids.

    I'm processing the emotional abuse I experienced. I'm grieving the woman that never was her. It's a lot of very raw and very intense emotions.

    And I'm doing all of that while I need to regularly interact with my abuser. It's a gigantic mind fuck.

    I'm reclaiming a lot of my agency by #yellowRocking extensively. Killing her with kindness. Ignoring her emotional baits that are meant to trigger a fight I'd lose anyway. I'm getting #revenge by being my best fucking self. Let the kids see that unconditional kindness is possible while enforcing boundaries.

    But I'm not gonna lie. It takes my everything. Being kind to my abuser when everything in me screams for justice is a challenge like no other. #RadicalAcceptance is most definitely non-optional.

    I might not win the battles but I will win the war.

  20. These two depictions of me are equally real. All of us are dynamic, complex individuals. Maintaining an image and pushing ourselves to fit an externally-defined or -influenced mould makes us ill. I try to be gentle with and accept myself but societal pressures evoke inner conflict for me, and I imagine for you as well.

  21. Buying #meds turned into coming back tomorrow to get them, and impulse buying $1 trinkets for my #birthday gathering guests as well as a couple of #SecondHand #PatrickWhite #novels at a haggled price ($11 for both) plus a $2 #StarTrek "Spock's World" paperback for my #student.

    This morning I should have fetched free food from a #charity but at 4:30am I SMSed my #friend (who would have driven me) to cancel because I'd sabotaged my #sleeping pattern with stupid #coffee.

  22. This is what a real 61 year old woman looks like. No filters, Botox, lifts, fillers, hormone therapy or whatever the fuck else. I did menopause cold turkey. #aging #nofilters #nowork #radicalacceptance #itsnottrivial
