This makes my heart go “AH”

“I’ve been so young for so long and so old for longer – so heart wrinkled and naive all at once”

@lucyregter you made my book . . . . #writing #humancondition #blogger #sentimental #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #igwritingcommunity #igwritersclub

At the beginning of the year I made a concept map of what I wanted to focus on for 2019. I borrowed my sister’s iPad this week so I was able to recreate it on here (for a while my posts might actually look like what they do on paper! How cool!!) I have spent a lot of this injury feeling like I don’t get to govern my time, my choices and my body. It’s time to change that. . . . #postconcussion #pcs #injury #disability #writing #words #gratitude #autonomy #chronicpain #recovery #rehab #goals #goalsetting

Towards the end of 2017, started a new book (one of the little ones that I carry around with me everywhere). On the first page I wrote “I want to fill these pages with happiness”. When I think back on 2018, it feels like a very unhappy/ lost/ painful/ broken/ insert further adjectives, year in my life. In many ways, 2019 has become my battle cry and fight to drag myself as far away from that year as I can. Regardless of how unhappy I was though (and in many respects, still am), that doesn’t mean I was never happy at all — or that I’m not continuously in pursuit of making good/ seeing good/ feeling good. In fact when reading the pages of my little book I am surprised to see what hidden gems have made their way into those pages. It’s quite incredible how we forget about those moments, when everything around us is falling apart. So at the end of the year I bought myself this camera and vowed to take pictures this year of things/ people/ places that make me happy. Because I think those things are worth remembering and sometimes a moment of perspective can mean a great deal. . . . #film #35mm #photography #photooftheday #words #writing #sentimental #blogger #instawriter #feelings

To the womxn in my life: I am standing on the shoulders of all of you. I am so in awe of the strength and resilience it takes to be a womxn. BE vulnerable. BE raw. BE A WOMXN SO WHOLEHEARTEDLY. Scream it louder. Ugh I am so fired up about it I just love women. . . . . Happy #internationalwomensday 💛 Celebrate it. . . . I know I posted this last year but it resonates so deeply with me. Continuously reminding myself to a top apologizing for feeling, for emoting, for being a strong presence, for having an opinion. Stop apologizing for my BODY. #stopapologizing . . . Something else that I’ve been reflecting on as I delve further into my career as a #nurse is #womenshealth. How can we make sure womxn are better represented? Especially womxn from underrepresented populations. How can I create space for these individuals? How can I do better for my sisters. And then how can I stop apologizing for being “that” person for not letting the conversation end until this issue is brought up and solutions have been put to practice. . . . #selfcare #womxn #women #strength #resilience #feminist #feminism #womenempowerment #womensday #womensday2019 #healthcare #rpn #poetry #writing #poemporn #poetrycommunity
