When Your Puppy Feels The Need To Join In Your Morning Meditation. #itsadogslife

Here's a view of my city I haven't had in oh, 25 years. #citytransit #buspeople #nothavingwheelsmustreallysuck https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgcEDvBoHSPaqmZwNKnsfZe5ImbqebfLNVNK00/?igshid=1mlomxabdc2sw

Go easy on yourself. And others. We've all been through a lot, and we rarely know what anyone else's traumas have been. #justbreathe #youvegotthis #youareworthy https://www.instagram.com/p/CVAgfeyLhfMEN3xgwKsX05jAOVhxG_6HOVOdmM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

I Iove this response. I look at it, from time to time, to remind myself that there is healing to be had, eventually.

How do you get over a broken heart?

You don’t, ever. Not quite. But time can do amazing things. A deep wound scabs over, and the scab becomes a scar, and then one day you look for the scar and it’s barely visible. 

What’s important is not to become the wound. Not to spend your life and your time and your attention on the hurt and the heartbreak. Take it and make art with it, instead, or use it to push yourself forward, into things, not away from them.

Good luck.

Ever since I first saw Endgame, I recognized the depth in Thor's story that maybe some who don't battle mental (or chronic) illness wouldn't. No matter what you're dealing with, or how much you struggle: You are still worthy. Nice to see a counselor agrees with me: https://www.whereyouarecounseling.com/blog/2019/9/13/what-thor-taught-us-about-depression-and-self-worth #youareworthy #depression #chronicillness #chronicillnessmemes #depressionmemesarethebest https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRL22vBwDEWYZ0d8izUOWwSuc6fQSCNkYB8R80/?igshid=1e74ihz7w0g4i

Lot of similarities between Molly and River. I endorse this. 😊

I went looking for some motivational words today; been having a tougher time of things lately. I thought I'd share some that resonated. (Not sure if all the attributions are accurate, but the meaning is the important part). In my experience, mental illness doesn't just disappear because you're treating it and working towards wellness. It's always there. The work you do means that some days you win and some days it does. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHPr1WLVdhMhQm7SWfLaN3sbX73ART6aL270Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

100% me. No issues washing and drying the laundry. But folding it? Right up there with going to the dentist. Just one of the things @geminijaime gets to put with. But look at how the colour adds to the decor! 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JMRXgh2vX/?igshid=htv5xh8h88uh

Maybe this explains why I like them so much myself.

When I was little I used to be afraid of storms. I guess now I like them because it’s nice to see something that displays how I feel on the inside and can’t explain.

For the first time in weeks, its quiet here this morning. I woke up a bear this morning, pounding headache, high anxiety, and tired af after a bad night's sleep. I've taken a few moments to myself to meditate, and reflect on the unusual quiet, the calm stillness of the lake. Let it fill me up, and wash away as much of the negative feelings in me as I'm able, before I start my day. It's helped. Here's to better starts for everyone. #stillness #quietplace #meditation https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GxXAGhXOw/?igshid=v1pynbn7xz53
