Writing haikus, sharing mental health thoughts, and trying to add good things to this world. (Trying). If there’s a typo I probably wasn’t wearing my glasses.

A reminder: something more massive, more powerful, and more brilliant existed before our sun which feels eternal. It lived a quick life on the scale of the universe and shattered into billions of particles which became us. It lives on in us and through us. We will live on in others too.

Maybe that’s not anxiety that you feel, maybe it’s compassion. It’s okay to cry and feel compassion for those threatened by this world. We need so bad to feel security for those we love. But in this moment breath, know that you can rest and process your feelings. Be safe. You are worthy.

It’s okay to turn off the news and to stop scrolling for the sake of your mental health. I think we should be informed citizens, and there is a limit to how much news our hearts can take. Today is one of those days for me.

One time my childhood best friend’s wife asked on FB about ideas for protein rich foods. I was excited to share since I was hitting the gym hard at the time. Next day he calls me and says “You disrespected my wife.” We aren’t friends anymore because I “always” offended his wife. #boundaries

I feel ashamed, angry, and disgusted. Our values as a nation are for sell now and Ukraine didn’t pay their toll. Zelenskyy didn’t kiss the ring. How shameful we are as a nation to demand fealty from a nation being invaded with no offer of protection. Someone thinks they are a king.

What did you do with your DOGE stimulus check? I bought solar panels from china with mine. Got to get em before those tariffs hit hard.

Breathe. When you breathe in deeply, let your body feel lighter with joy, peace, and love. When you breathe out fully, let your body feel heavier with fear, anxiety, and stress being squeezed out from your muscles. You can cry. Know you are safe. Know that you are loved. Stay as long as you like.

Believe that things can improve. Survive. Trust that together we will make it through this. Dark times will be in our future. But if you are reading this then you have the gift of time. Breathe. You are safe. You are loved. You are worthy. You are seen. I will defend your existence until the end.

After today’s news cycle, you might be feeling down or hopeless. I know I am and it was only the worst of Samwise Gamgee that reminds me to keep going. Let him remind you that there is still good in this world and it’s worth fighting for! #dei #mentalhealth #lotr

Meditating on how the body speaks truth. My back hurts today because my body is saying “I need to move more.” My body is my souls way of expressing so I’m inclined to take heed. My soul is restless from being cooped up for sub-freezing weather. #mentalhealth #druidry #pagansky /|\

How common is it that your family approves/disapproves your choices in life vs having a family that just accepts who you are and what you do? Does anyone have a sense on which seems more effective with the trajectory of their life? #cptsd #mentalhealth #family

Does anyone else get the sense that Trump is trauma bonded with Elon and Putin? I see trump and I think “that man is traumatized and does not want to be here.” I’m not forgiving him of his wrongs, but the reality seems trump is just and abused child who became a narcissist.
