Precipice
I find myself on the precipice of something vast and great, much more than I have known before, and I am terrified. This is by design. I am meant to know something is coming, but never what. Exposure therapy by my life, the universe, spirit team, my soul, whatever terms you love most - calling me to trust the process as I paint my own life, layer by layer, my brush guided in unknown strokes, building something wonderful and beautiful. But I'm not allowed to know until the time is right to step back from the canvas and see it, clearly, in all of it's textured and vibrant glory.
Happy Pride!
Happy Pride! We're still here, and we're not going anywhere. I love you. There is so much going on, so many threats within and without, but we will survive and thrive. We trans and non-binary folks, along with our truly feminist cisgender sisters, will stand tall as beacons of autonomy, feminism, and freedom, the likes of which these patriarchal fascists, who say they love freedom but clearly hate it, have never seen.
Blaming Yourself for Isolation
It is all too easy to blame yourself for isolation. Neglect, bullying, abandonment, rejection, hyper critical parents, emotionally immature family and friends and partners, your own toxicity and trauma, it can all add up to telling yourself, "I am alone because I deserve it." I have faced a lot of difficult situations, and sometimes I was the difficult one. Luckily, you don’t have to blame yourself forever.

Imposter syndrome while writing a book is the worst! It does not help when your book is about healing and learning to love yourself.
