We will all need to be kind to ourselves these coming weeks and I’m sure you will help me and others as much as we help you. Let’s agree to stick to our boundaries, leave when we’re meant to and try to find some fun in amongst the chaos xx

Love so many lines in this! I hope you are recovering now. Every time I get physically sick it feels like such a reminder/slap in the face - to slow down, that I didn't listen to myself and rest when I needed it, that I'd forgotten what it was like to be constantly ill and apparently I shouldn't forget, or any number of other things I usually blame myself for. With regard to your last question, I rarely feel like I'm winning, and when I do, it's invariably followed by a fall in the form of being sick. Essentially, winning to me is when I'm on top of the world and managing to do it all, but my body says no to doing it all, pretty loud and clear. Luckily, over the last few years I have learnt my lesson, but I still fall into the trap.

I'm so sorry you are not feeling well! That is always so frustrating. I love, love, love what you said about negativity being refusing to talk about and experience the wholeness of life. I feel the same way. So much of the beauty of life is in that both/and. I hope you get feeling better soon! Much love! Xoxo

It baffles me that anyone could call you negative. I guess when people are not living n truth then it skews how they perceive it when other are. You honest acknowledgement and sharing of the hard parts of life as well as the joys are such a huge part of why I’ve in your space and stayed. In a world that so often wants to live in denial it is like breathing fresh air to see and hear a full range of feeling expressed in images and words. I appreciate all that you share, from the things that chime with my own experiences, to the differences that teach me more about you (and many others).
