wrote about something that still feels somewhat confusing and vulnerable to me: my evolving relationship to god after being raised by a southern baptist pastor in Birmingham, Alabama, and what it's taught me about how to un-condition love:

A therapist once encouraged me to make a trauma timeline bc I kept getting stuck in horrific loops trying to make sense of nonsensical & recursive developmental abuse. As I was working through it, a lot of rage came up, and I eventually had the idea to make a Trauma Piñata

being on good terms with an ex is such a green flag because intimacy has an integrity only the people in it understand, and integrity is ultimately a self-regulation game

“It’s a good thing when I’m happy” is much happier than “I deserve to be happy” or “This would make me happy.” The undercurrent of gratitude outlasts little waves of happiness, as does the undercurrent of doubt, craving and mourning.

the first act is to forgive reality for being what it is. the second is to make music. maddening music, where the body (queer, healing, troubled, wounded, possible and gorgeous) sings itself into its future. the funny thing about gratitude is how final it is.
