Giving Myself & Others The Gift Of Mourning

That is what I would like to gift to myself and to others as the world continues to burst from the inside out: permission to take as long as you need to mourn whatever you lost. Permission to sit in your stillness and grieve what you thought these two years would be like. Permission to be sad and hurt and angry that people and dreams will no longer be realized.

Falling Out Of The Closet

I felt like I was grabbing at slime-covered strings for so long; it finally felt like the effort I had been putting in was amounting to something.
