I know, it is scary, it is tricky, it can happen in steps though, just like everything else.

It’s also about time more steps are taken in this necessary direction.

We need to be in alignment with our core self.

We need to come out of hiding, throw away the masks, make ourselves whole and visible.

How else will they learn how to be as great as you?

“I’m Fine!”

How are you feeling today?
A question that I dread.
How’re you still alive?
You stay all day in bed?

You’ve been through so much my dear-
Are you still in pain?
You’re walking so steadily now,
are you sure you need a cane?

Or how about all the meds you take,
tell me, what are you prescribed?
How’s your diet? How’s your bloodwork?
Do you feel depressed?…
To me, you look just fine!

Have you seen the doctor?
Are you eating?- Are you sure?
My sister has the same disease,
drank water now she’s cured!

I really want to tell them;
I have no energy-
to go over all my symptoms
for curiosity.

So this is why I tell you,
why I feel inclined…
to answer them politely,
smile and say,”I’m Fine!”

A dear friend and I were catching up last night. We have the shared experience of having to go Low / No Contact with family and were discussing the difficulty of talking about these experiences that exist outside of the realm of cookie cutter Hallmark Cards. It hasn’t happened to me yet, but it is hard to prepare yourself for the inevitable moment where you might have to explain that while you do have family, they are not in your life. I suppose I am “lucky” in that I think if I tell someone, it’s because my mother maliciously reported me to the police hoping to get me into trouble with the law—most people will accept this as a valid reason.

But that doesn’t mean it’s a conversation I’m looking forward to having or that I should have to justify myself to others. So when I stumbled upon this term “exulansis”, my immediate thought was that it’s nice to know there is a term for this overlooked state of being. The second was how apt it is for many of us Mighties—because we so often feel forced by a lack of public awareness and support, to minimise or not talk about what we are going through.

Negative experience teaches us it is safer to be guarded.

In terms of my own family situation, I know that there are many people who would invoke the dreaded “blood is thicker than water” trope. And I’m certain I’m not alone in having to gain this knowledge through baptism by hellfire—that this is not the case for all families. Some of us, are made to keep our place in the family performatively. Whether it is having to parent our parents, being treated like an ATM, minimising our own needs in favour of their wants, or simply putting up with ongoing abuse—some of us are made to “earn” the love of our parents, that should be given unconditionally.

And this lack of support from our supposed nearest and dearest can extend to so many aspects of our lives… from who we love; who we are and who we aren’t; invalidation of our chronic illness; or being shamed and shunned because of mental health that can often result from these same dysfunctional relationships. Whatever the reason, the result is that we resign ourselves to stop talking about aspects of our lives, because we know that others either will not, or cannot, understand it.

I think we all have some invisible chains holding us back, that stop us from feeling truly free. Why not cast some of the weight off and name some of your chains in the comments?

Choose each day to forgive yourself, you are human, imperfect, learning and growing.
YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE.
There is no sense in punishing your future by living in the mistakes of your past. Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.
Take heart in the knowledge, strength, and growth opportunities each trial inevitably teaches you--and move on.
There is no one you will talk to more than yourself. Be kind, loving, understanding, compassionate, and supportive.
Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship that you have.
And remember:
🌻 The past can’t be changed, but the future is full of possibilities.
✋🏻 Opinions don’t define your reality.
🤗 Everyone’s journey is different
🤔 Overthinking will usually lead to sadness.
😊 Happiness is found within.
💭 Your thoughts affect everything about you.
😁 Smiles are contagious.
🫶🏻 Kindness is free.
👌🏻👉🏻 It’s okay to let go and move on.
🥠 People usually end up with what they truly deserve in the end.
⏳ Have patience. Things get better with time.
❤️🐈‍⬛❤️🐈❤️
🫂 Hugs!!
