Hello you. How do you do ? Do you read these words ? Whose voice do you hear ? Does your phone feel heavy ? Did you do the thing yet ? Hush. Ground yourself. Now matters. Now was a second ago. Stretch out, let your body take up space. Deep breath. Now commit to being alive.
Plant your feet. Take a deep breath. Wiggle your toes. Close your eyes. Feel the sun. Listen carefully. Cry a little. Play with your hair. Write it down. Ask why. Be human! Smile! Or don’t! Just be!
List five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste. It grounds you in the present moment
Really ? You can’t do this alone ? You need support ? You need comfort ? You need help ? Company ? You feel guilty for being needy ?
Is that how you treat yourself ? What a foolish belief. Did you just scrutinize your need for another ? Is that fair ? To anyone ? Ever ?
on which leverage did you allow yourself to believe I owed you to be the same as you always knew me. Interesting how the selfishness unfolds like the knots on my back you got used to seeing curved. Isn’t anymore.
