Feeling

[aborderlineblog]

The most important thing my therapist has said to me lately is to let my emotions finish. Allowing a big feeling to come to its natural conclusion without feeding it or ending it is probably one of the best gifts I’ve given myself in a long time.

I feel awful and okay, and that's okay.

During therapy, I was reminded that I can accept just how bad I'm feeling and the thoughts running through my head.

It's that radical self-acceptance that isn't meant to be necessarily "positive" or whatever society thinks is "positive."

I feel awful, but I also feel okay too. Right now, I'm probably going to parallel rage-blog about what I feel awful about AND do my analyses for work. That's the benefit of having a job you can do on the computer.

It's not wrong for me to be angry or feel awful. One of my most prominent habitual instincts is writing: I have a good reason to feel awful!!

But the thing is, I don't even need a reason.

I feel awful and okay now. These feelings may or may not persist. I'm likely going to actually like this day a lot - it's not a bad day at all.

My logical brain is telling me that it only feels awful because what happened to me last year around this time was awful.

And yeah. That's the reason, but also... I can just feel awful no matter what.

That's really empowering, in my opinion.

biz böylesine keskin bir şekilde biteriz gibi gelmemişti aklıma, hangi rüzgarla savrulduysak birbirimizden yine aynı rüzgarla geri döneriz sanmıştım ama öyle olmuyormuş, olamıyormuş.

Adaptation can be such a beautiful thing. I'm obsessed with the stories we can't stop picking back up again, and the characters we're still not done spending time with.

Moreover, I think really good adaptation can still *be* something new. Guillermo del Toro's 'Pinocchio' feels like absolutely nothing I have ever seen before, though I of course recognize the bits of Pinocchio I have seen/read other places. But recognition isn't in itself a lack of originality.

And I know there's so much "Well, okay, sure" adaptation out there. So many easy-looking cash grabs. But if adaptation is a place your creator heart likes to live, I cannot recommend 'Pinocchio' enough. There is virtue in going back to the stories we have loved the longest, and continuing to ask ourselves, "Why?" What does the slightest tilt of angle or trick of the light change about where this story lives in us? I just love it.

More personal and more spoiler-y, so follow this bit with more caution:

When I was younger, someone whom I held very dear called me a "burden." It was a terrible and ugly time, but I was also a 22-year-old who didn't know how to navigate their own trauma and mental illness, and he was a 32-year-old who, frankly, should have left me alone long before he did. He apologized once, years later, but I have never truly been able to let that wound heal. It has held me back from forming the kind of relationships I want to form, from living the life I want to live, from being exactly the person I want to be, because wouldn't pursuing any of those things just make me more burdensome?

I did not expect to have this notion so plainly and gently challenged in the year 2022 by an adaptation of "Pinocchio.'

You are not a burden. I am so sorry for when it hurts. I wish you the joy of being able to see this beautiful movie alongside a good friend.

Met you 2 years ago to the day. It still hurts some how..... I'm glad it's done and over, I really should be celebrating. Instead I'm sad missing the person I knew you were capable of being..... This was my biggest mistake and I understand the lesson now.

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.
