Winter will soon come,
My breath will dance in the air,
I will see my warmth.

Amongst my tatters
I see the pieces of me
That shine bright like gold

Snippet from Sugar On Wounds

Sugar on Wounds is part diary, part memoir, and a survival story. It's a window into the final years of therapy training, where old wounds resurface and self love becomes a radical act.

Desolate garden —
Quiet leaves cower in corners
Trees longing for spring

#Hope

A passage of text with the word "hope" highlighted multiple times in yellow. The passage reads:

"One Yalom quote, '...sooner or later she had to give up the hope for a better past,' hit me like a gut punch. Only a few words, but they touched so many deep wounds. I realised I had always been holding hope for a better past. That kind of hope isn’t logical, hope for the past is such a paradox. Acceptance is letting that hope go. That hope has been a weight that I have dragged around for years, though I never had a label for it."

The big orange creep —
The nastiest pumpkin head
I have ever seen.

Slow creep of winter —
Walking on the crunchy leaves
Towards an icy grip

I think witchcraft may just be open source spirituality

Jumped out of my skin

Under my bonnet —
I find my messy porked heart
Can I push to start?
Does it need the kiss of life
Or does it need to be scrapped?

What year are you in?

**Let Me In**

I want to see the
parts you don't show anyone
Taking off your dress

I see your armour
How do you carry that weight?
Let me see your scars

Will you let me in?
Deeper than anyone else
has been before me

Quantum entanglement,
spooky action with distance
connected so strong.

Like physical wounds
They feel most sensitive
Just before they heal

———

My scars were always there
Relics of my pain‑filled past
Now I see healing
