Something’s not right

My rambling page

My rambling page

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man (Discworld, #11; Death, #2

)

I got back to sleep this morning and kept waking up but couldn't move couldn't even open my eyes and then realized I was still asleep and woke up and was still frozen. It happened a few times. I am not actually sure if the last time I woke I was actually sleeping or awake but I was locked inside my own body again but slowly forced my eyelids open and I was awake.

@tyme

Thanks time. I used to have some understanding of the concept but scaling it up to where things have been going lately has been too big of a step. In some ways parting from my old therapist has made me reasses everything. And the good and bad that comes with that. It would be good to look more into ACT again. I guess with everything in Flux change doesn't need to involve as much of the old fear as uncertainty is the new normal.

I'll think and explore further.

Today I wanted to start with practising gratitude.

I wanted to thank god the universe and sane for providing a safe space for us to share and support each other.

I have tried out a few quotes this morning but I'll just settle with thanks.

Re: My rambling page

Yes true I was tossing whether I could genuinely say that one?I'm working on that but not today. It's important to let go to move forward too.

The struggle is knowing when it's safe. When I have felt unsafe for so long. Letting go of anger, resentment, pain, history, isn't insurmountable right now.

Holding on to my future would be great Holding onto myself even better. The thing is it will take time to let go of my fear. It will take time to know that people will believe in me and not hurt me. I need to hold onto some of my fears to protect myself. I don't feel safe enough strong enough, to let go of my walls. Not yet.

Holding onto me right now is the best in can do.

Pratchett has some good ones doesn't he?

The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues. —from Moving Pictures

"If you don't turn your life into a story, you just become part of someone else's..."

The romantic in me likes the idea of being part of someone's story. The 'new' me winces at how much that can burn! ...
