I feel for you. I’ve ruined everything many times. It always helps me to go to the forest. There are spirits there that will hold some of your angst. And there is perspective and love. It’s clearing. Let yourself dissolve into it if you can.
When I was doing my personal 2025 planning, the idea of pleasure kept emerging. On the plane heading to my personal retreat, I was feeling a tad guilty for bailing on work for a few days to escape to Miami, but then I asked myself, what's the point of all of this, if I can't enjoy a few days at the ocean visioning and plotting and creating? As I was journaling my way through the guilt, I wrote "Pleasure is the point" -- and that's become a bit of an informal mantra for my year. I LOVE the framing of pleasure as an act of rebellion that requires courage.
Thank you for writing this. This quote, "You are allowed to lose form."-- resonated with me deeply amidst a very difficult heartbreak. Thank you for listening and sharing your generous words.
To put such a delicious word on a process I’ve never had words for… The Melt. yes yes yes. (It can feel like the biggest loss AND it can be so delicious). Thanks, Jeni ❤️
Jeni! I am very much in the "Have I ruined everything?" phase, but hanging on to the hope of it all.

A book written in real time. Yes, please. And admiring and accepting the reminder that melting is necessary and beautiful.
