Double exposure portrait of Mickey (digital in camera) blended with a backyard and sky photo. The squared pattern of the ceiling in the backgrounds of the photos create rectangular overlays
Trying to remember how uncomfortable the middle can feel right up until i can find my balance.

Oh thank goodness.
My brain has been having weird issues in the the thoughts department and was getting super disconnected and came here and found this in my notifications.
I’m still feeling lost from self but looking at this feels like home right now.

Portrait of Mickey with a crack in their chest from which flowers are blooming and reaching towards the sun coming through an opening in the dark rocky space they are in.
“There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in”

Listen to it. 🫀
I’ve been thinkin’ on this all week; focusing on processing some of that grief to make room for recognizing and exercising the freedoms and frivolity again. 🫀✨

The #htmhmickey posts are mainly coming from my 2020 coping skills project Here, This Might Help.
Here is a link to main bulk of the project (which still has early pandemic references…but you can just replace most of those with “fascism”)
I’m just struggling and searching

“We can be part of the soft place (to fall) and also need support at times. Remember to honor both.”

I’m still focusing on just that first section, but this one popped out at me today.
Photograph composite of two differently edited Mickey faces that look like they are corroding. Their eyes maintain the focus of the piece
“We have to *actually work* sometimes just to keep focus on the next actionable thing in front of us.”

Remember it’s sometimes work to stay in the here and now when you’re struggling.
Black and white photograph of Mickey’s wrists showing their tattoos which say “here” and “now”, respectively, on the inside of their wrists.
“but we focus on “today” to ensure that we are looking at the reality of what is in front of us. That we try to set aside the worries about tomorrows and any past mistakes that may have gotten us just quite *here*.”

My focus for the day.
The Here and Now.
#imageandverse
Just remembering now that i did a whole coping skills project that has all the strategies that have helped me most.
I think i’m gonna start there, going through and reacquainting myself with the ones that have slipped away.
If i post anything helpful i’ll tag with #htmhmickey
