i really appreciate you leaving your own inspirational words here as well. i love the imagery of a votive flame transforming silence into sanctuary and loneliness in courage. truly beautiful. thank you so much. 🙏
Ah that line about loneliness not being about being alone, but about it not being safe to be yourself — that landed. There’s something deeply regulating about being able to speak without bracing.
I’m glad this space made that possible for you, Venus.
thank you for being here and making the time to read my work and share your insights. i feel you out there too. maybe something i gained from losing finn— i can feel kindred souls, no matter how far the distance. ♥️
yes. that’s true. there is a resonance that i can finally feel and trust. because it’s safe to feel now. i used to mistake false mirroring for resonance because i was dissociated from my body sensations and since fantasy saved me as a child. but lately i know if my mind is spinning fantasy, but my body is tied in knots, pay attention to the knots! and i turn and walk away as fast as my long legs will go!! or i stand tall and ignore… both work… glad we’re here and i intend to catch up on your posts here too! ♥️
aww, thank you for coming back to read and comment. it is so therapeutic for me. and a big part of it is the connections. i love the conversations here, maybe the most of all. i was so lonely for caring connections with humans not afraid of the depths. ♥️
This is raw, real, and radiantly human.
You have turned grief into a votive flame, one that transforms silence into sanctuary, and loneliness into courage.
This is a gift of presence. Thank you.
