...substance.

One morning in the burned house, she allows what's meant to dream to rise, and realises: The sky leaves room for one more.

Cherry blossoms after Winter gently open like her shattered heart. Rippling through still air - a Thank You.

Contrition becomes her as indoctrination intrudes a child's innocent heart. No blazing fire, but festering gleam, slowly breaking down substance.

Christmas Night on O’Connell Street 2015 ✨

The city slept and the magic of Christmas drifted along the empty street beneath the Spire.

...stand through a storm and dance in the rain?
You let the question loiter with intent. But I don't need to be tricked into mastering memory. I'll just, though with compassion, close the door, next time the sun is out.

When the weather is fine you come over to hang out with me, basking in the warm sunlight. It keeps me wondering: Will we ever stand through a storm and dance in the rain?

One of the reasons why I often fell for toxic relationships was not, that I thought I have to prove that I'm worthy of love (though, that was in there). Part of it was simply, that I didn't understand the "game".

Still don't get why, really, but the how is clearer.

1) Held myself well throughout a bad breakdown.
2) Kindness of kind people mattered.
3) Stayed creative.

Yours?

I had people showing up for me, today, when I really needed it, and without having to ask for it. Some of them were online, on here.

You have been heroes, today. Do you know that?
Thank you.
You know who you are.

Never believe any gesture would be too small. It's not.

Sometimes, the true challenge is to not elaborate, but just turn away from the scree with decency.

I burn sage, and understand that everything is perfectly timed. No need to wait for the moon to embrace the sun.

When we see somebody struggle, and we would like to help, but we don't know how, one of the most precious gifts we can offer might be asking:

What do you need, right now?

or:

How can I help?

or just letting them know:

I'm here, and I see you.

Why is it actually so hard for people to give to others what they would like to receive?

I didn't write this to upset anybody. It should be known by now that in hurting others, we only hurt ourselves. Alas, the smoke in the mirror obscures the view, and distorts the shadows. Another scarlet blade sheathed, they say to just be yourself. Yet, they never walk their talk. © Stefanie Neumann - @KokopelliBFree

I just learnt that one side of CFS can be, that, when one is finally in a safe space after struggles, the nervous system experiences a major crash. I don't know if what I have is actually CFS. Still finding out. But I just spent the night crying, heaving up, and trying to get air...
