Welcome to The Pause. Otherwise known as Ugh. The days between Boxing Day and NYE. When you can't remember time, dates, what a regular diet looks like.

The build-up to Christmas has deflated like a farting balloon and you are meant to be rewiring for the incoming new year but you can't remember what day it is, let alone motivate your mind to imagine the next 12 months!

The week where Time Stands Still. Grief, instability and uncertainty sitting on the couch with you. The silence is deafening.

It's a baby portal for those uninitiated visitors to long dark nights of the soul.

It was brought to my attention the other day that a lot of my childhood experiences are completely lost on one side of my family.

For a long time I felt my silence was self-abandonment or worse -- siding with the perpetrator by upholding their image. To instead have a voice strong like my mothers.

And I notice the silence of other women in my family. A tendency by them to maintain the ego of men. To let the men share their ignorance loudly as truth. But we know. I feel that in the air. The women know and we don't even need to say it.

These days (and it may not always feel like this) I have an acceptance and peace. If people didn't see or sense the reality, it is not always my responsibility to correct the picture. I say my piece with sensitivity, not indignation. And if they choose to deny it, that's theirs to carry. Not mine to fight.

The rage this once would have fueled in me is a gentle flame now that warms me. Makes me who I am. Makes me love who I am.

Happy Christmas to all.

Don't let the bastards get you down. ✌️

{From a version of me that is feeling pretty content with my lot in life. Including the neglect I experienced in my childhood that forced me outside to be held by nature and developed the foundation for what is now my solid source of nervous system regulation. I could be mired in drama tomorrow but right now is All Right.}
