This gives me all the feels. Rage at what was said and done to you, sadness at the pain and fear and self doubt you faced, joy and hope at the new road you’re on to discover yourself, inspired to being rediscovering my own shape. The one I lost, not to a spouse, but to my belief that work and service is the only thing that matters, the only thing that makes me worthy. Thanking you a million times over. Xoxo
"The work - perhaps the most important of a person’s life- will be to collect up the scattered parts and let them find their natural shape. It is uncomfortable and painfully disorienting. I forget myself more times than I remember. The shape of my self is like water sloshing around in a bucket. With each new discovery, the self takes form, like a droplet of water turning solid."
Your words are GOLD to me. Not about the topic but rather the fluidity with which you set them free. - I effening love you - as I've said before! xoxo Ever want a psychic reading i'm your girl! xoxoxoxo
If you ever come to the west coast of BC, lemme know. I’ll buy you a drink. This personal growth roller coaster sometimes needs a commiseration session.
Your posts remind me that I love to read. I haven’t read for pleasure (rather than for education) in 10 years. Well…I tried in 2020 but that book lost the battle to Netflix and work lol. But this…this gives me just what I need to feel satisfied without having to commit to an entire book. Thank you for sharing your life and your writing.
With every post of yours, I feel a different part of me screaming up from inside--- triumphant, terrified, liberated, seen--- YAAAAAAAAAAAS!
I submitted my legal name change papers a few weeks ago. It is very fucking weird operating under two names, as I have for years now. And I still don't know what I'll say to those who have yet to get that I'm no longer one of them. Especially to those who have always prescribed what shape I take.
What an answer: To discover the shape that I am.
More questions than answers is infinitely more interesting anyhow.

I’ve loved watching your find your shape. It’s a beautiful shape.

Beautiful. I feel this.

I gasped out loud reading this... in horror and recognition.
So many people commented, "But he's so nice, you seemed to have a great relationship!" when I got divorced.
Ha.
Thank goodness for the treasures and the questions and the bravery to be in discovery.
Love you.

Your comment means everything to me, Tera-Sundri. You are such a brave soul. I’m glad to be walking the path with you.
