A while back, I was going through some depression/anxiety.
I thought I needed to push through. I sent a friend an Instagram motivational meme that said, "Your goals don't care about your feelings."
He responded, "Your feelings don't care about your goals."
I was shook.

I wish I could say I'm totally out of the woods. Trying to get there. But what I have learned is that community is important. Human connection is what gives life and sustains it. Asking for help is okay.
At the risk of thinking out loud on twitter, maybe grappling with the fullness of the human experience means coming face to face with loss, abuse, deprivation, death.
But none of those things are the full story. There is light, fullness, beauty and hope to be wrestled with.

Still learning, processing, feeling my way through what has happened in the last year.
And you know what, sometimes this website isn't so bad. I've learned and been supported through so many who have come into my life through Twitter. Thank you all :) <3
