I am so grateful for my practice. It is patient and forgiving and shows me how strong and resilient my body can be, even with limitations. I love the ebb and flow of our bodies with the seasons. If feels so good to be present.✨🌔☀️ (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzALuTJjSsl/?igshid=6e9u6vffc2mv
I’m trying to remember the whole self-portrait thing again. I havent posted my face in a while. So this is what weeks of healing looks like. Its days and days of meditation and journaling and breathing.
It’s how I feel like after singing passionately to a small open mic crowd, because I have the clarity and energy to do it again.
Sometimes I think back on my mental illness and the physical illness that has manifested in my body over the years. There was so much pain, brain fog and confusion, which led to so much irritability and mood swings. Now, I have a better grasp on my pain levels and headaches, and I’m more level-headed through meditation and art and physical therapy/yoga. My body has been exhausted and difficult, but I am so grateful for it. I’ve had emergency surgery twice in two years and survived it, and I hope to only get stronger from here.
