MH - Trusting the Universe
I'm starting to realize the basis of my anxiety...My obsessive compulsive thoughts. My resentment.
I was mistrusting the universe this whole time. I thought I was all alone in dealing with my problems when I never had to bear the burden in the first place.
I turned my back on it... But all is forgiven. The door to the universe is always open. It's just a matter of taking the faithful leap through.
MH - Eating Enough
Note to self. I need to stay on top of eating enough over the course of a day. If I start going into starvation mode, my anxiety kicks in and it becomes incredibly difficult to stay present and control my obsessive thoughts. If there's one part of me that still doesn't want to accept surrendering, it's my subconscious monkey mind that came with this human vessel I inhabit.
Koko as a Teacher (cont)
My body is actually having adverse reactions to that idea. It's almost like quitting drinking all over again. But if I can quit drinking, then I can quit subjecting myself to unnecessary stress.
Koko as a Teacher
Last night I dropped Koko off at West Seattle Animal hospital.
If anything, I see her as a teacher. Keeping her for nearly six months taught me the true value of what it means to surrender. Not just surrendering her, but to surrender on an existential level.
I've been a fighter for so long...Even when I didnt need to be... It's okay to relinquish control over a specific outcome.
Taking Life Into My Own Hands
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. Bending the universe by the power of our will to shape a better, brighter future.
I've had chunks of my light stolen over the years, and I'm stealing it back.
Whatever shit these abusive people stuck to me in place of what they stole will be balled up and thrown right back in their faces with the same ruthless force as the meteor that killed the dinosaurs. For I owe them nothing.
MH (-) Dog cont.
This is one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make in my life. A very emotional situation where I have a tough time holding back the tears. I'm not making this decision lightly.
I did the best that I could. All that I could.
MH (-) Dog
She's the sweetest little dog I have ever met in my life. If it weren't for the extent of her health issues... If I really truly love her, I have to surrender her to a no-kill shelter or someone who can give her better care because no matter what I do she's still miserable and in pain, and I can see it on her face.
MH (-) Dog
Koko's condition keeps getting worse... Fur is just flying off of her, she continues scratching to the point of bleeding, and whatever amount of care she needs I feel like I'm unable to provide.
Even when I'm currently in a temporary living situation where it seems it would be easier.... She still scratches to the point of bleeding. Further exacerbated by the fact that I'm now working full time.
(To be continued...)
MH - Housing
I'm working full time, but living in a van with a dog, every housing situation I reach for is going bust.
I'm lying here. Drained. Depressed. Crying my eyes out. I just need a stable place. That's all... And I feel like I'm fighting deslerately, tooth and nail.
I fucking hate capitalism. I may as well just break into a vacant house and squat there for as long as I can.
MH - Wounds I Didn't Even Know I had
As I've continue to settle down and find stability in my life, the adrenaline is wearing off and I'm coming to the realization of just how wounded I truly am.
Some have scarred over, some are still fresh, there are lacerations I didn't even know I had because I really was fighting for survival.
It's time for me to heal. Fully.
MH - Love
The baseline of all these walls is fear. A multitude of fears for that matter. All of it being a subconscious pull to become more withdrawn instead of open. Fear of rejection, fear of hurting someone or fear of being hurt myself.
I know a mate when I feel it. When the energy is there and we have the same wavelength. It's a matter of having the courage to be assertive. Otherwise it's just going to be one missed opportunity after another....And more heartbreak on top of that.
