Messy

Life is filled with good days and bad days. That’s what makes recovery both challenging and incredibly vexing for someone who needs stability. But the inevitability of inconsistency, and accepting that as the one constant, is part of the journey to healing.

The world is a fucked up place right now. The pandemic, politics, wars, fires, hurricanes, abuse of power, marginalization of minorities – these are things I can be aware of and advocate for, but cannot change single handedly. So live with it but choose not to let it run my life. What I can change is focusing on my health and taking active steps to nurture my physical and emotional injuries. Continue to grow and mature as a productive member of society, to be better than I was yesterday. I want to focus on the positive outcomes I can control and not dwell on the things that I can’t.
