Two weeks since my father went radio silent after articulating fury and "disappointment" in me when I expressed how sad I was that we haven't had a phone call or videochat in six years (he always claims he's too busy).
But I *have* set up a chat with step-cousins and -uncle for this Friday, so... we lean in to the family that wants to show up, eh?
Off for more writing now.
Have a beautiful day, all.
Know that you are worthy of love & healthy, constructive, mutually affirming relationships. ❤️
Valkyrie, this was so overwhelmingly kind that I needed a few hours to process the generosity of your words.
Thank you so, so much for sharing this warmth and love with me today.
You are a dazzling heart of a person, and I know that you extend your kindness from a place of *hard-won wisdom* too.
That makes the gift of these words even more precious.
I'm so thankful that we've connected here, and that I get to see you shine and persevere most every day.
Thank you for being YOU.
