Pretty sure runner's high is just Stockholm syndrome, except the person who has kidnapped and tortured you is you.

Kind of a brutal week and the energy is MOLASSES, but I did some entry for solstice and thought about the things that help, and how to do/have more of them in my life
Wrote about that, ritual, the vulnerability of trust, some deep dark winter wishes

wrote about hope as a practice, and seasonal protocols and navigating darkness, and also about learning to breathe into my courage-heart, and some things I am learning or re-learning

also featuring some thoughts on teetering and striding (both are interesting), and what else is there in the terrain of heartache beyond the chasm of anxiety and the pits of despair
gonna have to start doing some map-making but what if that is also interesting!

Talk pie-based freedom celebrations to me, and other wishes! I did a review & some journaling about getting through a Known Hard Week / Holiday, what worked vs what I might like to do differently next time, and also wrote some Very Personal Ads

this is the stuff that really gets to me: sure it didn’t kill me but I did spend much of two years in bed, regularly run out of energy doing small things, and can’t survive like this so actually it’s not a function of numbers of death?
My yearly appointment with doctor at work.
Her: I see you still wear your mask?
Me: yes
Her: you know Covid almost doesn’t kill anymore?
Me: so prevention is just about avoiding death or also about avoiding chronic conditions impacting quality of life?
…
That was a good start…

wrote about my oddly specific holiday depression & seasonal angst, about my imaginary test kitchen for alternative feast days, processed a Big Feeling, talked to the cowboy in my head, and made a list of what I do when it feels like I can’t do anything

you can leave twitter but you can't leave social media even if you wanted to. you've used it for so long you no longer have interiority. you only have posting, you'll always come back

wrote about being in the reeling times - both in that everything is reeling, and that I am reeling in the mystery, in the sense of whirling but also the sense of fishing…
tried to conjure some wisdom for all the reeling

okay well actually I wrote about an imaginary museum of shitty breakups by text, with a special wing devoted to the one I got that started with “love a four day work week lol”

the only thought I have about the election is that a lot of people worship power
the more nakedly aggressive it is, the more they fawn, the more they identify with it in the hope of finding safety in its shadow, or experiencing some vicarious thrill they'd otherwise never attain

Okay, these are challenge days (understatement!), I wrote about the process of recalibrating towards and for a challenge and the many challenges to come
And also about some challenges we can *choose* along with the ones we are being dealt.

We are taking some election day breaths, and doing whatever helps, and acknowledging that the vibes are yikes and that none of this is fun.
Also: gelato, a little hedonism at the end of the world, and nourishment for the collective
