I had a trauma dream this morning, for the first time in years. My brain and body are desperately trying to make sense of this upside down world we entered via the rabbit hole again.
I’ve been here before.
I won’t stay because I know how to get out, and I’m taking my daughters with me.

and I feel like we were steadily heading in that direction for a half century (as i type on a shard of glass) and then this dude showed up, and a few other dudes like him, and now we’re in the mirror universe where people are trying to bring back slaves.

"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

I get very tired of “you’re so gifted” comments if and when I play piano. I rarely say anything anymore, but no, I’m not gifted. I spent well over 25 years learning that *skill* and it was damn hard work. Not a hobby, it was my first career and yes, it’s a hella lot harder than some degrees.
Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.

Middle of the gd night and my brain won’t shut tf up.
Just thinking about how much difference a strong family support system makes in generational wealth. Not needing to pay for daycare, sitters, before or after school care. Not needing to take kids to appointments and activities alone.

I’ve never been one to need a lot of friends. I just need one or two close people in my life and I’m ok with everyone else being acquaintances.
Been kinda adrift ever since my mom died because well… she was my person. Damn hard to replace that.

Just saw some lady going off on a post about blatant lies around the supposed 550B Japanese investment in America… her take is that at least god doesn’t lie and he doesn’t need massive loans or tax money.
Cool, he funding American programs now? Education, Medicaid, Medicare, FEMA?

Randomly thinking about how my kid was weirdly going off about how she wasn’t born yet when her parents got married in front of the aunt I haven’t seen in going on a decade…
Aunt: (laughs) No, because your mom was a good girl!
Me: (biting my tongue to NOT say) oh no, I was just smart.

My therapist congratulated me on how I’m handling life today. I have no idea if that’s good or bad 🤷🏻♀️
I’m exhausted and driven and lonely and grasping, and I’m also ok. And it feels like my whole world burned down around my ears, so ok is… strange. And nice.
