Ever feel like youre drowning in the tides of Life?
OH MY GOODNESS. ever have one of those weeks where you get your head above water for brief moments and think, ok I've got this only for the tide to wash over tyou stronger and stronger again and again? I talk alot about the little wins and for taking acountability for our choices, our actions, and our own patterns.... I dont really know what I am being accountable for in this post but its something I feel like I NEED to write. In a lot of spaces, mods are seen as this intimidating group of people who have this role because we have all our shit togteher and really that couldnt be further from the truth. each of us still have hiccups, set backs, and fullblown meltdowns over our shit lol. i literally just had one like 20 minutes ago. why? because i was on a roll, getting my own communities in order, showing up on podcasts, modding like a badass and being here for everyone else in every way that I could be, taking care of a sassy two year old with extra needs, finding clarity and insight deeper inmyself than I ever have before.....and then my tooth broke and then it got infected...then my phone stopped connecting to anything other than the house wifi (on a very unreliable basis at that), then my kid decided to be a menace damn near all week, then my phone stopped working entirely yesterday, the pain got so bad, the exhaustion, the stress....all of it that I have missed almost ALL of my own goals and deadlines that I set for myself this week. I am touched out, talked out, screened out, and yet I crave every ounce of socialization I can get and fresh air outside of these walls of this house that is starting to feel like a prison because I cannot seem to get even 5 minutes to breathe without something falling, breaking, a kid climbing on me or arguing with me (because thats what 2 year olds are good at...especially neurospicey 2 year olds), cats that sense stress and like to scream their ever living fuzzy lungs out at you, too many smells, too many interuptions, too many shifts in air temperature, too many instances of my lungs randomly seizing because they are little bitches that hate the winter and dry air or smoke or basically everything right now.
