What I have learned (unlearned, or may still be learning) from the month of February…
Trust is something that is earned, not something anyone is ever entitled to - regardless of their credentials. It is co-created and "collaborated."
Acceptance is not necessarily a smooth process, sometimes it can feel like flailing limbs in deep waters. Trusting the process is not an easy one.
When to chase the light and when to move with the shadows.
(Though I’m still trying to learn how to cast, and be with, my own.)
However well you might think you know the tides, leave room for rogue waves.
I am a whole of intricate pieces, but I can no longer continue to break myself in the so called “correct” places (and we should never have to, just to try and heal.)
Hope is hard, perception is nuanced, and somehow the cracks to fall through still catch me off guard, but the love of my community does too and that is worth something too.
Love can look like a lot of things, sometimes it’s a friend bringing you bananas and letting you lead them into the forest on shaky legs.
”I fumble towards [healing],” limb over limb, through vine and bramble, unsure of my direction, but still going. I wish I could say more about the skyline, but for now my gaze is simply on my feet beneath me (if that.)
- S.
