RE: Shadybug free write...down the rabbit hole
I read it all. Some lines even twice. Yet, I don´t know what to say... This was the most open and raw freewrite I have ever seen here. We all have some demons that we fight (internally, externally or both) but yours were really badass. You have my utmost respect for how you have been handling life (and for writing this piece too). Hopefully, the years and decades to come will be easier and more enjoyable for you, strong girl. Fingers crossed for you.
Btw, being in wild nature has the same effects on me too. Mother Nature is very powerful.
Thank you for reading until the end!! I'm always wary of making personal posts like that but from time to time I think it can be helpful to someone somewhere at some point, I guess these post kind of humanizes us. We all have our challenges and it's hard to see past them sometimes but their is always a silver lining. The last decade has been so much easier on me and I'm sure that will be a continuing trend, I also have done a lot of work on myself, with a diagnosis and knowing & eliminating soybeans from my diet was a big help. It's more manageable.
Absolutely, reading posts like this one can really help other people with their own struggles and it is also true that this kind of posts humanizes us. It makes us more real people with real lives, real troubles and real joys... Just like I said before thoug, it takes some tremendous amount of courage to expose something like this to public.
I am really glad to hear the past years have been much better for you ;) Hopefully, it will be a continuing trend indeed.
Well, thats just it, we all struggle with something and it's not always easy to talk about until we make peace with it. Too many keep it all inside like I used to but then they end up suffering in silence for longer. Reading other stories definitely helped me when I couldn't talk about it. And sometimes like in my post, it's not even us it's our bodies causing it and unless one realizes that, we try to change it but can't it's so frustrating, now I learned the signs and when it's time to check out and take it easy on myself physically for a bit.
Older and wiser, most likely be a continuing trend, I still get my moments but I get out of them just as fast too.
