It was all my fault.
Even when it wasn’t.
I should have
tried harder,
done more,
prayed longer
(for the miracle
that never did show up).

But the lesson
I needed
was never going
to be found
in getting the miracle
I thought I wanted.

Some things aren’t
ours to save.

And some miracles
would only serve to
confirm our mistaken ideas
of self-betrayal.
Just self-abandonment
masquerading as love.

That is why
the miracles don’t come,
no matter how badly
we weep for them.

The true miracle
would come
to me instead
in the jagged rubble of
broken endings.

The mysterious wonder
of reaching the end
(that bloody trail
of snot and tears),
of who I thought
I was supposed to be.

Acceptance is not easy but you can work on yourself, if you are willing to.

A reminder this Halloween: consent is required in every situation.

Consent isn’t a free pass. Saying yes to one act doesn’t imply your consent to others and every act of physical intimacy requires its own consent. If you feel uncomfortable in the moment, you always have the right to stop, even if you previously agreed.

Healing doesn’t happen all at once. Some days you feel free, and other days you find yourself standing in the same memories you thought you left behind. And that’s okay. That’s what healing actually looks like, messy, non-linear, human.

You’re not back at square one just because the memories still hurt. You’re just learning to carry them differently. Every time you fall apart and rebuild, you’re teaching your heart how to let go a little more gently.

You heal in layers, not leaps. And one day, you’ll look back and realize that the moments that once broke you are now the proof that you survived.

We have far more impact on our own mental wellness than we’ve been told. Every day, we can make choices to create who we want to become.

Some ways to begin create mental wellness:
- Place boundaries, honor your limits, say “no” to things that cause resentment
- Keep one small promise to yourself every day
- Practice meditation + deep belly breathing
- Use: the future self journal (linked in bio)
- Move your body every day in whatever way feels best for you
- Connect with like minded people/create community
- Address your gut health/mircobiome
- Become aware of unresolved trauma + the behavior/patterns it’s created in your adult life
- Honor the inner child: create, play, do something just for you
- Practice ego work: become aware of your ego + the stories it creates around your life experience that keep you repeating your familiar past

Remember, the brain can change throughout life. New neural pathways can be created with consistent practice. Our genes are not fixed, they’re responding to the environment around us. The body/nervous system can heal.

How do you create mental wellness?
