i know i have reconnected with my center, because when i’m upset or dysregulated, there is a calm voice inside that says “come back to me”

checking in to say…

that i am doing alright!

i haven’t been here in a while. if i had to say where i’ve been, i think i’d say that i’ve been with myself.

i feel at home with myself now. it’s like i’m an investment project that i slaved over for years and years and did the backbreaking, blood-shedding work over and now i am getting some passive income back on it. some of The Work does start to do itself after a while, i think. i have been enjoying my own company. i still stress over the kids and the house and my family but i am able to find little pleasures in my day even so.

maybe my glasses are a little rose-colored today, coming off a night of magical sex and a morning spent walking around in the sun and the breeze and all the gorgeous trees shedding their leaves around me. i still have bad days, but i have learned to have bad days and bad feelings without hating myself, and that’s really something. really quite something.

i have been treating myself like a person whom i love, and i have turned into a person whom i love.

i hope you are all well, and i hope that even if you’re not, you’re still treating yourself with love. <3
