When I’m having a rough time, and feel like I must not deserve to be happy because of everything happening or not happening in my life, in my body, these are some things that help:
Writing
The music cure
Talking to loved ones who I know love me
Naps with cats
A good meal with friends
Going to a movie in a movie theater, pref the Drafthouse so I can have a nice cocktail, too
A long hot shower
A massage
Crying my heart out; this one’s tricky, though. Helps, but must be followed by some love, some kindness, to soothe the raw and warm the hollow places with light.
