How do I even breathe? Thank you, Nikita Gill. Prayer in Lockdown Some mornings the weight of your sadness will be too heavy for you to get out of bed. Some afternoons will be spent in the arms of sorrow instead of tenacity. Some midnights you will remember every mistake you ever made, try to hold yourself together, and fail. This is shattering. This is coming undone in the most brutal ways possible. You are suddenly a void. You feel like an empty planet battling your own core. A war is still a war even if it is inside your head, did you know this? A wound left unhealed is bound to open again. That's just what being human is. Fearless has always grown best in unknowing hands. That is what fearless is. Not knowing what is going to happen next and facing it anyway. Reminding yourself at the end that you are worth saving. When the pieces of you spill out of your hands, picking them up once again. And perhaps today is not the day that you face the harrowing. Perhaps today you just sit there, on the floor, counting the broken pieces of yourself. I loved the entire collection, but these are the ones that hit the hardest: 1. Stay 2. After the First Death 3. Prayer in Lockdown 4. Letter to My Younger Self in Times of Turbulence 5. Spring Cleaning 6. Across 7. I Wonder What They Would Put in a Museum for our Times 8. On my Government-Mandated Walk
Highlights
There is no better time to learn how to love yourself than the mirror that silence gives you.
This is the time to reflect on all those things about yourself that no one has ever taught you how to love.
The universe had to fall apart into dust first to become its majestic, infinite self.
What makes you think this trauma, this devastation, won't be the making of a more powerful you, too?
