I won't be on here much anymore due to the feed and lack of interaction, but want to let the people who care about me know, I'm doing pretty good 🖤

I have walked into an opportunity that will sustain me and make moving, when it's time, seamless.

I get to use my trauma power for good and I get to do something that makes a difference. Without getting too specific, it's elder care and I am working with the most difficult people, but it's rewarding. After my experience with my mom/dementia and all the death I've witnessed, I have found a way to help. I have found a place for my strength and caring. And darkness.

When people dump their parents because they're too old and difficult, I can provide some comfort. I have the patience, I have the thick skin and I have the love.

It's sad how Americans treat their elders...

My light only shines in darkness it seems. A darkness most people don't want to face. Yet this is where I find warmth and meaning.

It has improved a lot for me. Not just financially, but on a soul level. I don't have to pretend I'm cheerful, extroverted, energetic and superficial anymore. I can be myself. Calm and chill. And it works. I can soothe. I can deflect the verbal abuse and transmute it into peace.

I'm so happy. It feels like my heart is thawing. I have found my way and I see the path ahead of me.

I needed this.

I love you guys and I will check in. But I think there's too much hate everywhere right now. Too much control over the content we see. I'm done with the performative conflict. Done being left out of what I care about.

There are some deeply amazing people here, I have enjoyed following your journeys. I will be stopping by, curious and caring while away 🖤 please know, you are thought of, and well wishes are made daily in your honor.

@being I'll see ya soon 🖤 the journey continues. Thank you for reminding me not grip the wheel too tightly. Your realness makes me feel real. Many people here have helped me keep going at times.

Take care of you, I'll take care of me, but I'll be back, I care deeply for so many here.

@ScreamingFox And the journey continues yes. This place has its horrors but it's filled with love too and has wonderful corners and valleys...Just need some exploring and to not be overused. I make the same mistake too to stay here for too long and it's never good. But it has nothing to do with SW I conclude. It's the screens. Need moderation. We know never mind I am just talking because I feel a little emotional that you are going, even if not forever. Will see you around!
Your realness makes me feel real
that's absolutely mutual...
