I was just planning to link a song, but your post diverged from that whimsical idea quickly. I've heard claims that one of the biggest struggles of Gen X and Millennials is recognizing and undoing generational trauma. Baggage of past generations needs to be acknowledged, identified, and discarded. The only alternative is perpetuating it. We can't just quietly accept abuse from parents, partners, or the public. Best of luck on your journey. It's a hard road, but worth the hike.
Thanks, buddy.
The journey is incredibly hard, but a lot of the work has been extraordinary and so freeing. This is a style I'm trying out for my memoir project about my experiences with growth and travel and crow-ladying. It's the first time I've felt this motivated to write it, so I think I might be onto something. Not sure if the whole thing will be written in letters, or just the super vulnerable parts/memories.
Hey did your profile pic always have a coral-red circle around it? It's messing with my brain and I keep thinking the white background is, in fact, a very light salmon. This is an important question.
First, it was a photo of a d20 die with googly eyes. Then I traced it and for perhaps a couple weeks dabbled in slight variations, but it never had a salmon or coral background. It's white. Lynx Skywalker, my D&D warlock cat from space does, though. Perhaps you saw that post?
Heh!!! I bet he likes salmon.
