Maybe you don't need to be strong enough to say no [rigid against them] but compassionate enough to say no [loving towards yourself].

Damn good morning and good morning too this post specifically!!! Coming for my life so early in the morning!! Shame around desire is so real for me esp in romantic love but everything this person wrote as a response to those fears is perfect and just a refreshing take—like hey here’s an alternative way of thinking about something and this time it’s less fueled by anger and fear and doom and more like curiosity and gentle tap on the shoulder and not end all be all type of thing

are you "cutting out toxic people" or have any relationships that require work become disposable to you?
the people you are in community with deserve open and honest communication. learning to have boundaries is not the same thing as unlearning compassion.

Hi hi!!! I’ve been following u for a while but I just noticed you updated ur pinned post :)) I’d love to hear any thoughts or writing you have on grief if you ever wanted to share know that you definitely have an audience! <3
oh YAY thank you! I have this post that went kind of viral on here (the tags regularly make me misty eyed), and it made me realize that the things I have to say about grief really resonate with a lot of people! i then made it into an instagram graphic, and then a zine, and all of those got a lot of really positive feedback.
one night, I started brainstorming a bunch of grief prompts about remembering 'your person', and then recently, months later, I finally picked that idea back up and it has bloomed into what I hope will be an actually published book/interactive grief journal. I'm even considering looking into making the prompts themselves into a deck of cards that can be used in daily grief exercises, or in a communal grief setting like wakes, funerals, deathaversaries etc. I've gotten positive feedback about this WIP as well!
some of the readings that have been really impactful for me re: grief are:
all about love by bell hooks, chapter 11 / On earth we're briefly gorgeous by ocean vuong / andrew garfield's interview in the believer about his mom / all the living and the dead by hayley campbell / caitlin doughty's books & youtube videos / gendersauce instagram posts / Rebellious Mourning by Cindy Milstein
I'd definitely like to share some excerpts of this WIP here if people are interested (sounds like you are at least!!!!) and to start, I'm happy to share some of the prompts!
If you send me an ask with a number between 1 and 72, and i'll reply with that grief prompt!
The prompts span from mundane things like their name and their favorite things, to heavier things like how did they die and what was their funeral like?
a few things to consider:
Through all of this, it is paramount to mention that nobody is all good or all bad. Not every prompt in here is deep and heavy, but some are. Sometimes we fight with the people we love. We let each other down, we disappoint each other, we forget something important. Sometimes we hurt each other. The ways you hurt or were hurt by each other don’t die when they do - it’s okay to wrestle with the ways your person was imperfect. You are not a bad person for remembering them in the fullness of their humanity. You are not grieving wrong for still being mad about something you were mad about before they died.
If you are afraid that stepping into the waters of painful memories will inevitably sweep you up and suck you down, remember that no feeling lasts forever. Your hurt will come and, if you give it the space it needs, it will go, too. I promise. This is a safe space to remember your person and the person they were, warts and all. Tread with care, take breaks, take deep breaths, you’re okay. You’re safe. I’m proud of you for sitting in your grief.
bell hook says in ‘All About Love: new visions’ that “In its deepest sense, grief is a burning of the heart, an intense heat that gives us solace and release. When we deny the full expression of our grief, it lays like a weight on our hearts, causing emotional pain and physical ailments. Grief is most often unrelenting when individuals are not reconciled to the reality of loss.” This book and its prompts are meant to aid you in the expression of your grief, to deny the denial of grief.
okay that was a lot but i love talking about this! thank you for the chance to!
