This one really moved me. This is the first year I didn't connect with my mother either and it is indeed "hella painful." Your words is salve for my pain. Thank you.

Oh Kai, I'm reading this for the service time now, both readings have taken my breath away. Yes, we know what it means to be secondary! This quote was like a page out of the journal of my heart: "Recently, for me, this journey of inhabiting myself has become a breath-by-breath process. The more I heal and grow the more fully I inhabit my body and my life (yay!!)…AND the more the trauma, fear, and grief come rushing to the surface." I need to see you soon and grieve and breathe and laugh and dance and empty embody all it means to be the current most true iterations of ourselves. Than you for sharing your journey!
