A quote from a friend: “I held tightly onto my pain because it was the only thing that was MINE. It was something to hold onto, when I had nothing else to hold, when I was slipping away, even when it was eating me alive and dismantling my life. MINE.”

Launching into a “pain release” phase, writing and art and LIFEwise, as it’s all been rescued, retrained, rehabbed.. needs to be rehomed or released into the wild now because I’m exhausted.

Some stuff will stay forever. I’m aware. But at least I can find that stuff in the pile if the pile is SMALLER.

“You can be a drunk. You can be a survivor of abuse. You can be an ex-con. You can be a homeless person. You can lose all your money or your job or a husband or a wife, or the worst thing imaginable, a child. You can lose your marbles. You can be standing inside your own failure, a small sad stone in your throat, and still you are beautiful, your story is worth hearing, because you--you rare and phenomenal misfit--are the only one in the world who can tell the story the way that only you can.”

― Lidia Yuknavitch, The Misfit's Manifesto
