I need a day to sit with my raw nerves and soothe them and kiss what parts of self I can reach and remind myself that what I'm doing _is_ Work, even if the form of its manifestation in the world isn't flashy or showy. It's investing in my own well-being and my own sense of self. The byproducts of that self-reification are the stories I weave, and those stories have touched people and made lasting changes in the world.

@literorrery *offers a paw and a hug* you are beautiful, in mind and body. Having you as a part of my life has changed it for the better in many ways. 💜💙

@literorrery You are a beautiful being, Orrery-- and your stories have touched and made lasting changes in many I know, myself included.

I support you. ♥️
