Gone Swimming
We lost another gentle, good soul this week.
Well... two actually, but the one chose to step out of all of this willingly.
But nobody wants to ask why or talk about anything much, really.
Of course.

What I'm actually doing when I disappear from the internet of amazing things for a while
Entered for the #KISS theme this week on The Minimalist Community.
Dedicated with love to all the gentle souls who may be struggling with the world we humans today.
Please... hang in there!
It's not your fault and there's nothing "wrong" with you. 💜
I'll share it again (and again) because he said it best.
that's not where the problems come from. They come from the environment, the cities, the economy, the racism. They come from architecture, school systems, capitalism, exploitation. They come from many places that psychotherapy does not address. Psychotherapy theory turns it all on you: you are the one who is wrong. What I'm trying to say is that, if a kid is having trouble or is discouraged, the problem is not just inside the kid; it's also in the system, the society.

But...

Really.
We can do better.
Anyhooo... that's a bit of what I do to protect my emotional well-being.
And I've talked with three good souls, who I trust, who are also working personal growth and are also not afraid to talk honestly, about the less shiny stuff, in the last two days. Invaluable for emotional well-being for humans!
Not everbody who says they're your friend is your friend! Not every family member, who tells you they love you, actually does have your best interests at heart! Not everybody, who says they'd like to help you, is doing this for your benefit!
There's this weird thing called "human nature", you know. Although I've begun to call it something else now. Not sharing, yet, as my intellectual property keeps being (mis)-appropriated. Flattering, but also dangerous for folks in recovery.
Human nature. The survival instinct. And not a one of us is immune to our unconscious fears and/or "shadow selves". Mmmmkay? As it is. As it is.

But still... It is what it is.
So please try to not take things personally when folks are acting out their own trauma and reactions; and look after yourself while they figure their shit out! :D
So, until we figure our shit out, just keep swimming! Dory - Finding Nemo
And don't let the f*ckers get ya down. 😘

Hey you...
Saw your post when preparing to post on the kiss theme this week to and made a mental note to come check it out.
A bit more scattered and random than usual but no complaints from me, I get the general gist.
First my condolences on your loss, whoever or it was, I'm sure he was good ✨
Secondly, I don't really think it's bad if you cry and rage when you're off the internet.
Human nature is quickly becoming one of the scariest nature's ever, and it's even scarier that it's everywhere among us.
I watched a movie day before yesterday and made a review on it.
The main actor on one of his scenes made a line that really stuck with me when he was about to save his highly dangerous, extremely rare magical beasts.
Really made me think.
So dangerous that we're not only a threat to them, but we're also a threat to ourselves🙂...
We always have been. Because we lie. And deny. Therein lies the danger.
If we didn't things would be clear and we'd be able to protect ourselves. And each other.
Anyhoo...
i can read that you're rushed and too busy!! As usual. I do hope you're taking care of yourself.
Go swimming. Or walking! - Pippin's orders!
And, most importantly. stay you ❤️🙂
And thank you for always staying connected ;)
I'm so sorry for your loss. I think you should do whatever to get yourself to tomorrow. Well, not whatever. but the good things like dancing and swimming. And the not so good things like raging and crying. Cause rage can be hella powerful. It's a too. When you want it to be. :)
So really sorry.
PS: I'm not the system, though, N. Neither are you. Which doesn't mean you or I don't have a voice to speak against abuse and atrocity. But that doesn't mean you're the atrocious, abusive system :) Just sayin'.
My darling. Thank you. We weren't that close but always stopped to catch up at events. And she was one of hte only humans who reached out to find out more when I was up shit creek. #authentichumanity
Ah... that is another conversation and pending #thisisperfect ;)
But yes. Most of our trouble is "systemic" and unconscious, these days. I hear you <3
Thank you for your support and you-ness
Sending a hug to you Nicky 🤗💗
💯
Keep being strong and being you:)))
Thanks for your #KISS
I enjoyed it 😉
lips sealed
Well... I am these days :D Despite anything that happens around me #resist ;) #resistyourfear ❤️
This one was for the gentle souls who still may think it's actually them that are the problem or not good enough. #justsayin
Stay you and stay strong too
Only Love, M
This needs to be tattooed!
What you do in your room is what I call using space well! Great. 🤗
Yeah! Tattoos everywhere! 😈
Hey... honestly... if I could... I'd get rid of all the furniture and just have a studio space with a couple of beanbags in my lounge area. The Dream... or part of it.
And a big kitchen because some of the best dancing happens in the kitchen, you know 😆
Nice moves, lady!
Sorry to hear about your loss.🖤
And Ganesh is, I dunno, like my spirit animal or whatever the kids say these days. Helps me move shit when I feel too paralyzed to move it myself. Nice to see him (if I dare actually presume such a pronoun) make an appearance in your post.
😂
Oh. You can say anything around me, these days 😂😂😂 #honestly
I'm officially through the fire and out the other side 👍 #gotcancelled

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
LOL will have to watch the rest of this later.
:D
Just do it ❤️
I did! It made me feel a little better about a group chat incident earlier today when I referenced Woody Allen only to get cancel-cultured because he married his step daughter and, unbeknownst to me, abuses women.
Don't talk about anything! use I language only and never try to be funny, Anna. (inside my head)
Er...
#cancelcancelculture
#freedomofspeech
How would anyone who didn't know about Woody Allen know this if someone didn't let them know about Woody Allen.

“How much wood could a woodchuck chuck ... ”
BY MOTHER GOOSE
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood.
I like doing my own research! But I don't want to research everything.
Maybe if the cancel culturites could send me a list of top 500 people to hate...
Would is expensive. I woooden't chuck it.
😂
You at your bestest.
Stay you ❤️

Instead of do not disturb sign!
:D
Yeah!
But do not disturb sign faster and simpler some days! <3
Took me a while to learn not to take shit personally. It’s a learning curve, but I got it in the end 😉
!love the last picture 😍 Like a rainbow!
