Wanted to add that I post what I want to post, and I'm not here to cater to anybody. I'm here to be kind to myself and others the best I can. If at any point you're not vibing with me, hit the bricks and block. Please always take care of yourself first ladies, gents and enbys💙

Since I moved from X last year, I've been very careful of how I curate my space. While I appreciate the recent follows, I may not return the favor. With my life and disabilities, I am picky about who and what I give my energy to. That being said, I appreciate y'all, and I love ya 💙🫂 have fun!

Took this around 6:30am, enjoying the peace. I'm down for the count after running through time fall (iykyk) for 2 hrs.

I like to think #piranahs dream in purple
& they have sermons in a steeple
where they eat the people
who refuse to mingle
& somewhere in the screams
comes the cry of an eagle
its feathers become the cradle
of a new page in the cycle
because a fish dared to nibble
before the crucible

They say that #spikes won't hurt
if the pressure is lifted
at the height of transcendence

I can't tell the difference
between absurdity
& my nerves
being peeled away
like dying petals

I wonder if you'll catch me
when I come crashing
& see that suffering
wasn't worthy of you

It's hard whenever I go back to my grams place, my childhood home, but tonight I'm going full feral out here & Imma enjoy it 💯

Part of my late grams land. I used to go on day/night walks and runs every day out here. All the way to the top of those hills and back.

I miss your gaze like fingertips miss the #fret of a guitar.

Can't lean on my bones to hate you, I admit, you had me feeling like a star.

Time does no favors for wounds untended.

Scar tissue doesn't form when sorrows run wild & free.

I know it's true, you'll never be rid of me.

Keep leaning on the creatures during these hard times. They make things more bearable (plus for some, you might be able to train them to peck your enemy's eyes out, not that I'd condone that, of course).

Nobody who ever recovered from trauma did so by shaming themselves, bullying themselves, or otherwise emulating our abusers & bullies. We've seen the impact of what they do. That's why we're struggling.

If we do more of that, we'll get more of what we've gotten. No thanks.

To the fox I locked eyes with, snarled at, & scared off:

-I'm sorry.

-I respect you.

-I know you gotta eat.

-You're out of your damn mind hunting the turkeys right in front of me on my turf. If I catch you, it's on sight. I will grab you. I will bite you. I will eat you. I will have a pelt.

I'd invite you over for one 💙 sadly they're still not cool with touch, but they don't mind sitting next to you.

When you have a panic attack, step outside to catch your breath, & the wild turkeys rush over to get bird seed, see you're looking off, & they sit by you & keep company until you're better:

Realistic trauma recovery is going to bring us face to face w/ the reality that we can, actually, let ourselves rest, laugh, & experience non-painful things-- even if someone's upset w/ us, even if we're not where we want to be in recovery yet, even if we don't have "permission."
