In 41 yrs I've learned:

I do not deserve kindness
I was born to suffer and be punished
I don't deserve to have basic needs
I have to guilt and shame others to survive

Am I a #findomme by design?

Who knows - for those who know that profile, nope not a mistake

Hey! Sabi is still the sole caregiver for a beloved family member while surviving off a super limited fixed income in a hotel room that they are behind paying for.

Each every bit of help counts!

When I’m like “ooh look the moon” I remember that someone once told me “the way you look at the moon is the way your innermost you (your soul if you call it that) is looking at you all the time.”

People are human.
People are not machines to be perfected and run at peak performance speeds constantly. WTF ever that even means because the bar always moves again.

People are flawed.

This is a chance to love them anyways.
Not at the expense of our own wellbeing, but in service to it.

When children aren’t allowed to really participate in society we live in societies that only provide for those performing excellence or what is the ideal of “ADULTHOOD”

Our nervous systems can quite literally conditioned to be impatient, cold, short, punitive, perfectionist, paternalistic, etc

This is just something to remember.

It’s the “holiday season”
A lot of people are activated & that’s okay.

Not everyone will be able to regulate & that’s okay.

Not everyone will want to celebrate & that’s okay.

Not everyone will be willing to be vulnerable & that’s okay.

Even if you eat me you will run out of food

Even if the machine takes me first you will perish

Even if you hide in the circus sickness is at your feet

Despair and fear and shame strip love from the flesh of reality

Death never loses its sting
she is darkness and mystery
she dwells in every breath
she births hope and renewal

Her sweet kiss burns the living
but as she sweeps in with her peace and rest

Death feeds life
She is the beginning

For the caretaker, it means one moment it feels safe to place attention elsewhere and the next danger, literally. This results in a constant feeling of dread, made all the harder without help. It means even so much as not having adequate rest, nor the ability to safely process & grieve.

I've […]

There's not much awareness of what it means to be caretaker for an elder w/ dementia, let alone that having dementia means continually reliving trauma, loss & fear thru each moment.

Bodies may be frail, but memories are experienced as if they were but moments ago, while not knowing those alive […]
