indeed “the dark” remains terrifying to me! the flashes i see out of the corner of my eye make me feel like i am LARPing in a reenactment of the descent, and though i am older i am not fully convinced those ghoulish apparitions are not truly monsters.
i love the light, i am thankful for electricity and fire
as much as you can - allow yourself to feel the pain. don’t judge yourself for however you’re feeling. keep busy and devote time to yourself but forgive if sometimes you still gotta stay in and sob. build up a beautiful life while grieving at the same time - and eventually you will realize you’re now as fully engaged with joy, pleasure, & passion as you once were with heartbreak !!!
international women’s day this year was for solidarity with women in gaza, & with all palestinians. it’s not too late to start educating yourself, showing up to protests, joining orgs, looking into direct action! also would recommend lewis’ ‘abolish the family’ on a different but related note
