Aaah another absolutely beautiful post, thank you as always for your vulnerability and congratulations on getting to this milestone Liz Unicorn McCrocklin 🎉💛
I was just journaling about the craving for narrative neatness this morning, so this part really resonated -- “Slowly, I realized that I’d fallen into my old trap of wanting to feel healed. I’d been thinking of healing as a place that you reach where the box of pain stays shut forever at the bottom of the sea. I craved a neat narrative: my three-year anniversary, a new name, a tidy bow on a tough chapter. But tidy arcs and happy endings were invented by Hollywood. In real life, nothing ever sums itself up the way we like to think.”
we're rooting for you! i totally relate to the anniversaries creeping up on you and your body keeping the score
Thank you! They sure do keep the score.
I don't know how you do it, but I'm amazed at all you are.
It’s a gift to be seen by my family, thank you. ❤️

It's so annoying when life refuses to follow your workplan, isn't it? Le sigh. Lovely to hear from you as always.
