You do not have to try to prove you can do it all so no one questions whether you should be allowed to have it all.

Let’s talk about trying to make big decisions after a loss or two. You’re trying to choose from clarity, not collapse. You’re trying to make a decision, not avoid grief.

Realistic trauma & addiction recovery means giving ourselves radical, unconditional permission to be exactly who we are, in this minute, flaws, wounds, and all-- & committing to meeting all parts of ourselves & our experience w/ patience & compassion. No excuses; no exceptions.

Giving up the fantasy of "control" opens up the door to realistic INFLUENCE over how we feel & function. In fact, giving up the fantasy of "control" is kind of the ONLY thing that opens the door to realistic influence over how we feel & function. (Dammit.)

People who actually love you don't expect you to sacrifice your safety, stability, or authenticity as the price of admission to a relationship with them. Love cares about how you feel & function.

Waiting to be chosen is just another way of abandoning yourself. You keep handing your worth to people who don’t know what to do with it, hoping this time, they’ll finally see it. Real love doesn’t need convincing.

There are many things that set @sakeriver.com and I apart as a couple. One of them is that our identities were both forged in rebellion. I love more than anything how we constantly seek to understand what that means for who we are, who we will become, and how to model acceptance for our children.

Hey. Maybe he meant he would obliterate Iranian nuclear site feelings. Maybe they’re really hurting inside.

Americans are obsessed with the idea that someone, somewhere, is getting away with something.

Sixteen years ago, I swallowed your words like giant, rough-shod lead balls and they sunk quickly to my gut then down through my legs, shaking through the soles of my feet, bare, and pulled themselves through soil and time to the core of Earth herself.

You’re either hurt or scared or both. You may also be angry but no is angry without one or both of those going on too.

Grief compounds when older wounds haven’t fully healed. A seemingly “normal” event feels cataclysmic if it taps into a backlog of ungrieved pain. If you’ve made space for that grief then the new waves don’t hit as hard. You’re not swimming in the whole ocean. You’re sitting on the shore.

Grief is exhausting

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement. And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem. https://trib.al/ITBKeXx

Two things: “Medical staff at Atlanta’s Northside Hospital didn’t think much of it when Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old Black woman, came in complaining of severe headaches in early February, giving her some medication and sending her home without running any tests.”

Grief isn’t something you owe your full attention to every minute of every day. Often, especially in the beginning, the pain is too sharp, too fresh, and your mind instinctively reaches for relief — distraction, stillness, silence.

It takes a lot of guts to drop trou in front of a police station just to take a piss in a country that’s literally full of public toilets

Congress passed the War Powers Resolution to reclaim power, not give it away. It was passed over Nixon’s veto, as a rebuke of presidential overreach during the Vietnam War. The law was meant to limit the president’s ability to commit troops without congressional oversight. Not commit in perpetuity.

Don’t feel too bad. Condi Rice was a failed piano major at the University of Denver and she went on to destroy whole civilizations.

Loss begs of life to stop going on when it feels like life cannot possibly go on. Life’s going to life. Grief says to life, can you at least slow it down a little?
