Distancing myself from alcohol culture, although challenging at first, is the best, most joyful thing I've ever done. I am no longer envious or angry at anyone who accessorizes their summer with a red solo cup.

“There’s no need to beat myself for struggling right now. Of course I’m overwhelmed, terrified, enraged, and exhausted. Of course, sweetheart, of course.”

“Now, I understand that all of us have been sold lies about alcohol. I was taught that daily use of this hard drug should be effortless. And if I couldn’t manage that, if I got addicted to this ubiquitous addictive substance, then I deserved ostracization and criminalization.”

it was right after this that I spent a weekend listening to taylor's discography beginning to end and has a small emotional breakdown after realizing how devastating her story truly is and how her queerness and closeting really made everything click into place and have so much greater depth.

Kicking off the Handmaid’s revolution with Look What You Made Me Do is pure genius.
And yes, I do think that’s Taylor getting off the truck.

Endless work + minimal rest = torture, self-abuse, emotional instability, addiction
Trickster Energy + prioritizing consistent rest = self-compassion, space for healing, potentially fewer emotional meltdowns at the grocery store

I feel safe around middle aged women whose faces move. Nothing against Botox. I used to get it done myself. But the older I get, the less at ease I feel around impossible standards of beauty. If you have crows feet and frown lines, let’s be friends.

I just heard someone say they lost 125 days of sobriety, back to day one.
To that I say NO! All that was learned during those 125 days is not lost.
Just skip a damn day and keep going. 125 out of 126 days is still HUGE progress.
