It's difficult to admit that I struggle with my black identity because growing up I was targeted and bullied primarily by my own people while simultaneously dealing with systemic racism and ableism. There is no guaranteed safe space for me. It's always a gamble.

I’m learning that when life gets heavy, the best move is to slow down. I’ve carried a heavy load with very little support, and today, I’m just proud of myself for staying kind and keeping my heart through it all.

I want everyone to experience happiness. Not just a select few or the people that work the hardest to maintain the status quo. I mean everyone. That is why I'm so principled because I envision a world that works for everyone and not just for some.

You don't know what it's like to deal with abuse until you've lived through it and I've unfortunately lived through it more than I'd like to admit. You don't just stop caring for people because they hurt you. They aren't just horrible 24/7. They are human beings who cause harm.

Every time I see people have conflict now, all I can think about is how they would or could engage in healthy conflict resolution. What's happened to me in this life has made that such a passion of mine. I wish more people cared about it like I do. I'm grateful my partner does.

I have spent so much of my life having my wants, needs, and voice sidelined and silenced in favor of the people harming me. My identity as a black gender non-conforming woman with invisible disabilities has only heightened the harm this causes. Stop aiding in silencing us.
Disabled black people who were treated unfairly for most of their lives deserve a voice just like everyone else. Our trauma is just as valid as everyone else's. Our journeys are just as meaningful as everyone else's. Our stories matter. Don't let people erase us. Stand with us.

I am just trying to enjoy as much that life has to offer with people I feel safe around. I think that's a fair ask. I'm excited for what's next! I've already done so many things I never thought I could or would do. The healthier I get the more I can give back to the world. 🩵🫂

Dancing was a lot of fun. I don't know if I would do it again, but I am glad I tried it. I am excited to try and experience more things this year than ever. I am grateful for the people in my life helping me along the way. I never thought I would do half of what I've done lately.

I am glad I tried with streaming and had it not go as planned rather than never trying at all. I came into it scared and terrified and found enough confidence to defend myself from harm for the first time in my life. That's a win younger me never got to experience. 1/4

This year I wanted to be open to saying "YES" to every outing and opportunity to connect and socialize with others (within reason) and I have been doing just that. I am trying out dancing with my partner and a friend that invited us. I'm really nervous, but excited! 🕺🏽💃🏽🫂🩵

Life has been unfortunate for me in a lot of ways. I have literally been put in environments that were horrible for the kind of person that I am. There was no chance to thrive. Yet, I am so fortunate to have the people I have in my life. That is something most don't have. 1/2

I had a blast streaming Factorio. Doing it with a friend I trust and getting the opportunity to learn and get more comfortable with cognitive overload and discomfort is one of the best feelings. I'm excited to keep going.

I'm super grateful for all of the people in my life I can be myself with and those who truly care about me. I've been going through a lot and those gestures truly matter. There is good out there for all of us to experience, even in little dosages.

I worry that being my authentic, compassionate, hyper empathetic, and logical self might upset or disappoint some people, but I just want to be true to myself in this life. A boundary I set for myself is to stop people pleasing. Maybe it's alright if people don't like me.

I am working to ensure that my needs aren't neglected in the relationships in my life anymore. I want to be open and attentive to the needs of others as well as my own. I deserve to feel safe and respected and you do too. Never give up on yourself. #healing
One of the worst aspects of being disabled for me is knowing exactly what my needs are, communicating them directly, and still having them ignored. It's like a direct slap in the face. I'm being told directly and indirectly that my needs don't matter or are an inconvenience. 1/3

I deserve a community that sees my history as a testament to my strength and commitment to my values and principles. I am going to keep working hard to find that. I am grateful for those in my life currently who get it, but I choose to believe there's more who can and will too.

I’m learning that my intense empathy and pursuit of justice aren't hindered by stripping away judgments and focusing on the facts, they are fueled by it.
I’m still working on this every day, but I’ve never been in a better place mentally, to do the work. I'm grateful. 🫂🩵

I'm learning not to make positive and negative judgements about people to prevent my own suffering and disappointment. Since I have been educating myself about trauma and learning about my own, I find it difficult to refrain from judging what is blatant harmful behavior. 1/5

Boxing 🥊 has played a major part in my healing process. Everything I take on becomes a part of my life, I've already integrated it into all of my workout routines. For now it is just shadowboxing, but in the future I hope to join a boxing gym or invest in my own equipment.

For the people that need to hear it, because today I definitely needed to:
You can be grateful and appreciative of people and still be transparent about the harm they caused you. Those can exist together. Your feelings are valid.

I’ve been having a blast with games that require deep logical thinking. It's a challenge that forces me to solve complex problems, and I love that it’s pushing my assumed limitations. It’s helping me get more comfortable with "doing hard things" both in and out of games. 1/2

Peace for me is being certain of my truth and just allowing others to believe and project whatever they want. I'll just be focusing on the folks that respect me enough to listen. The rest just fades away and then I can finally breathe. I'm so grateful.
