Sitting in Starbucks. Working. Completely fine.

Construction across the street starts sending this low vibration through the building. Through my entire body

My conscious brain: nothing to worry about.

My nervous system: Nope. Absolutely fu***ng not.

Dysregulation is weird like that. Sometimes your body has a reaction long before your brain has any idea what the f**k is going on. Anyways, I’m heading home 😅

Turns out “f**k it” is not an effective emotional regulation strategy.

For a long time…. it was one of mine.

I wasn’t intentionally trying to burn everything down. I just wanted whatever I was feeling right then to stop.

So I drank. I ran. I blew s**t up. I made decisions that felt completely reasonable … for about 30 seconds.

Learning to sit inside an uncomfortable feeling without immediately doing something to escape it has probably been some of the hardest work of my life.

Still working on it.

Here’s to making lasting impressions with the people who show us what safety feels like.

The ones who make it safe to soften. To be a little silly. To say the thing. To stop wondering if you’re too much and just fu***ng exist as you are.

When you feel safe with someone you leave different kinds of marks on each other.

But some of them just might come from a vintage belt buckle… 😜

A few years ago, I would’ve left something like this feeling irritated, anxious, or completely drained without realizing I was just overstimulated.

These days I catch it a lot sooner.

Sometimes the healthiest thing I can do isn’t push through. It’s recognizing I’ve hit my limit and calling it a day.

I used to think overthinking meant I cared.

That if I could just analyze it from one more angle I’d finally find the answer.

But most of the time all I found was a more exhausted version of myself.

I’m learning that not every uncomfortable feeling needs to be solved.

Sometimes it just needs to be carried with a little more kindness.

For me, today that looks like sitting on the deck… watching the hummingbirds and a group of deer and letting myself remember that not every moment has to be spent trying to figure everything out.

It’s a strange feeling.

Having a good memory… and still not being able to remember entire chapters of your own life.

I used to think that meant something was wrong with me.

Now I think it says more about what I was carrying than who I was.

These days, I’m just grateful I finally get to be present for my own life.
