the other side of grief
I am incredibly lucky to have the life that I do.
As I get a bit older, I do believe I am very, very lucky. I feel I have guardians that protect me. I feel that I have a strong compass of what I believe is right and wrong. I am extremely grateful for the deck I’ve been dealt - to have safety in many forms, to have love in SO many forms, to have opportunities, and to have the innate optimism and discipline to make more opportunities for myself, too. I have a lot of supporters, I have a tremendous support system.
I am lucky to be gifted an ability and openness to feel deep connection with nature, humanity, and the things beyond our physical realm.
Perhaps that’s why VR feels natural to me. It’s an extension of how I feel - in my body AND externally out into the world(s) around me….
worthy of calm
Do you believe you are worthy of calm?Do you believe you are worthy and deserving of the calm + peaceful life you desire?
I’m learning to shed the need for immense intensity, chaos, unpredictability….
old grooves
who do you give access to your nervous system?
whose words and actions are allowed to access your core?

Art therapy sesh piece.
Trying to understand why I’ve been in a trauma / depressive state the last few weeks. It’s been a rough go.
I spoke about this conflict of knowing intellectually that slowing down and doing nourishing things are good for me.
And then it gets to a point where I feel like I’m Good™. I no longer need the crutch of “wellness” practices because….
I am worthy of peace and calm.
I am worthy of peace and calm.
I am worthy of feeling fulfilled in slow, meaningful actions.
I can let go of the trauma hustle, the intensity and chaos.
I deserve stability and deep joy.
