It’s been a really disorienting and upsetting start to the week. Pushing myself to “move forward” feels like a betrayal when so much of what’s happening is clearly not okay.

Framing terms like “environmental justice,” “diversity, equity, inclusion” as “wasteful… destructive ideologies” is an outright lie (disinformation) and deliberate censorship. It strips people of the language they need to understand harm, repair it, and protect and treat one another with care.

To those who've felt unlovable:
This is often a painful aftermath of not having support when you needed it most. I hope you find ways to love all parts of you, but especially the parts that felt rejected or like they they didn't belong.

#TIL the piano song I learnt as a kid is called Flea Waltz (or “Flohwalzer” in German). I thought it was called Chopsticks, but that’s a different song by Euphemia Allen (1877).

Tous les Jours is officially my happy place. Their croissant and pain au chocolat are my absolute favourites. 🥰 (which says a lot coming from someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth!) #NotSponsored

Society has conditioned us to shrink ourselves so that we’re “easy to love,” but, in reality, real love grows to meet and holds us exactly as we are.

We didn't need "perfect" parenting. No trauma survivor is in pain because our parents weren't "perfect." We needed parents, teachers, & clergy who were visibly trying to understand us & keep us safe.
That's not "too high" a bar or "entitled."

When people say ‘be the bigger person,’ ‘let it go,’ or ‘move on,’ it’s not helpful. It’s retraumatising because what they’re actually saying is, ‘what they did to you was okay and they don’t need to be held accountable.’ These people are part of the problem, and they are not your allies.

We don’t learn to ride a bike from manuals but through trial and error, facing fears, and getting back up. Growth works the same way through repeated experiences, noticing patterns, feeling emotions, and trying again.
There’s no shortcut to the slow, messy, experiential work of becoming better.

“While a survivor isn’t always shocked by what was done to them, they’re often shocked that people don’t apologise. They’re shocked at the number of people who defend the person who hurt them. They’re shocked by how much additional trauma comes from being traumatised.”

Healing is about coming back to what feels alive and true within us. It’s not about meeting the expectations of others, but about reclaiming who we really are.

It baffles me that access to essentials (like safety, belonging, healthcare, education) is labelled as ‘radical’ or ‘woke.’
By doing this, we’re collectively opting into unnecessary suffering and calling it normal.

Judgement closes the circle; awareness keeps it open.
Judgement fixes others in place, drawing a line that says you are this, and no more.
Awareness meets them as they are now, in motion, in relation, and lets the line dissolve.

“Modern culture encourages us to turn pain into productivity. Depth psychotherapy offers a different message: pain must be felt, named, and held by another. Growth happens not through avoidance but through contact with the very experiences we were forced to repress.

One of the most meaningful contributions to humanity—often unseen/rarely recognised—is working on yourself. It’s how you stop repeating the harm the world needs less of. It’s not mainstream because it’s uncomfortable, unglamorous, and forces you to face what most people spend their lives ignoring.

Seeing ‘before and after’ photos of a renovated room or a reshaped body makes me wish we could do the same for the quiet progress and transformation that comes from personal growth.
