I’ve accumulated and generated enough pain to spend the rest of my life composting. Remeeting myself in different forms over and over. I am grateful to be part of creators creation. Grateful to enjoy life, held in the uncertainty that life is everything #GiftsOfRecoveryAndHealing

Taking spiritual inventory at every cycle of grief spirals helps uncover my relationship to life and death. It will be 7 yrs since she died by sooicode. I see how addicted I was to misery n sorrow loops. It truly was a familiar warm blanket to hide under. Life is for the living❤️‍🩹

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Holding every spirit and soul that will not make it to see the light of the moon tonight. May it be soooicide, hunger, cold, heartbreak, 🧊kidnapping, overdose, slow death, sudden death, occupation, gen0side🕯️🤲🏼

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Without a doubt in my spirit knowing one is accompanied through the most tragic and terrorizing moments is EVERYTHING. I am with you in your sorrow, pain and possibilities. Surviving the unsurvivable together. Holding our pain together🤲🏼

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Martyrs. Ancestors. found ways to stay alive for all of us to still be here All of them laying down a piece of the road ahead. It is our duty (nuestra carga) to pave w them for those after us. In uncertainty keep forward toward possibilities. Until our last breath🇵🇸🕯️✨🌀❤️‍🔥🙏🏼

Empires are showing their hellish force onto our siblings, Kin all around the world. We feel the pain of Pal🇵🇸 persona in our bones and cells bc it’s the pain of all indigenous people all round the world. Their warring terrorizing violence imprinted on ALL life🕯️

La única obligación es a la vida. Tenemos la obligación de cuidar y todo derecho a vivir libremente. Y cuando cualquier cosa impide una de estas dos cosas claro que si a pelear y luchar.

Accompanying spirits who walk with chronic suicidality is also deep witnessing and presence to our unbearable pain, stories of disposability, limits & deservingness of care. Learn to swim in these waters with others and your forgotten parts. Togetherness in the layers🌈❤️‍🩹

At 16 I learned social justice = wyt ppl bad POC good. Men bad, women good etc. Grieve all the way all the lies and seductions of capitalism. It catches up to us all. No one untouched. Level up: struggle through and to solidarity not binaries. To old to carry narrow divisive 💩

“I am steadfast bc I come from a ppl who have been targeted for genocide over & over again and I’m still here. I am not someone who acquiesces to indignity. We are still here bc we haven’t acquiesced to indignity.” Words of who helped raise me. Mi pareja. The earth underneath me

We tell our kid what we been telling our kid…it’s gonna be hard and scary for so many we love and care about including ourselves and our families AND we’re gonna keep taking care of each other fiercely: growing gardens together and grieving together🕯️✊🏼🦋🐛

Cops in Cardigans. Agents of the State. Soft Policing. Kinder Cops.
Other words to describe a social worker. Our license is the vein that tethers us to the state. Our anti-carceral care work must not be bounded or defined by the state or capital interests. #CareEthics

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Addictions hide in plain sight. Addicts hide in plain sight. Addictions express themselves in endless shapes & colors. Addictions hold, contain and refuge the deepest of pains. Addictions keep us and end us. Dignity to the addict. Addictions signal oceans of grief #DignityInPain

kamala harris is not your mother, or aunt. not an embodiment of experiences of ordinary black womanhood, or the time you experienced a micro-aggression in the office. she is campaigning to be the face of empire so unless identify with that, there are no parallels to be drawn!

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Equating patriarchy w men is not complete. ALL people have the capacity to uphold n replicate the toxicities of patriarchy. Discern between a long-standing system of domination and violence and the individuals socialized under that system. Accountability isn’t disposability.

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

Let us be refuge & sanctuary to one another. Seamos refugios. Si, me parece bien. Y deseo que seas refugio para ti misme para que me refugies a mi. Y así damos la vuelta until we thread ourselves into a care that requires accountability and patience. Mi Refugio es tu refugio⚓️

[Susana Parras @Heal2gether_]

I go to bed sick to my stomach knowing they’ve been sealed off from all connection and care. We will spend lifetimes grieving cruel terrorizing death and loss. I go to bed victorious knowing connection and care will always be threats to all steeped in power and dominance 🇵🇸🕯️🦋

You can’t suppress the love we have for oppressed depile across the world. You don’t know who we are!
