“We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come together again and fall apart again. It’s just like that.
There’s no shame in needing rest. Not just physical rest, but the kind where your soul is tired. The kind where everything feels heavy and even smiling feels like a job. You’re not lazy. You’re not weak. You’re just human and sometimes humans break down before they rebuild. Rest is not a reward. It’s a right. Take what you need.
I usually wear shorts….and I keep being surprised at this pants fixation I’ve had for a couple weeks… then I remember it’s February. Warm, but technically still winter… 😂😅

I didn’t finish university. Recently, my dad brought it up (it doesn’t matter anymore in face of the success I’ve had in my career). He still can’t figure out what he could have done to help me get through it. Still hasn’t occurred to him that beating me up may have contributed.

Woke up and had energy to take my dog for a brief walk outside right away. First time in three months. Strange how much the little things matter when you can’t do them anymore.
I am really starting to get superstitious about Mercury Retrograde. The beginning is always frustrating - things stop moving along with the ease they were before…by the end it feels like the world has gone silent. Few things are moving and traction slowly begins again.
