if you’re trying to avoid a feeling, you’re already feeling it.

you’re not dodging it — you’re layering it: the feeling, the panic, the impulsive coping mechanisms, the shame spiral after.

sometimes the cleanest move is no move.

just stay put. let it hit.

grief. jealousy. anger. shame.

dysregulation.

if you can’t welcome it, sit with the part of you that wants to run.

it’s not comfortable. but it’s true. and it ends. and it’s less next time. and every time after that.

i love you.
