wow, we appear to be on a similar journey. I really related to a lot of what you said/are feeling 🫂 you said something about being nervous to share writing about pain, thinking something along the lines of “who wants to read about THAT!?” answer, brave other ppl in pain. It's almost —weirdly — comforting (poor choice of word, but I can't think of any other) just makes one feel less alone! Anyway, thanks for this. I wrote an essay on grief this week and now I'm encouraged to share it!

Love how you’ve put this together! I’ve thought about writing out conversations with myself to try and work through these types of feelings but I could never quite get it right. The way you’ve done it is excellent. I also love the idea of the rungs. It is so important to acknowledge the ways that you are showing up for yourself, and this piece shows how much you really are fighting for yourself. Keep putting in the work and you will get out of the pit. Amazing work!
