I am so sorry about your mums illness and what you have been through Marble. Having said that I am also so grateful that I came across this beautiful piece today. Gosh! Your writing is so ephemeral! Thank you for letting us peep into your experiences. Looking forward to reading more from you!
I’ve promised myself not to wax on about how wondrous your writing is. So I’ll just say thank you for writing. The distillation of your life and its liquid effects is exquisite. I’m happy to be here reading.
Aww! I appreciate that! I love that you seem to be writing a weekly offering, and it makes Fridays something to look forward (I usually am not a Friday person 😂)
"I’ve discovered an inability to feel" very relatable. After episodes of severe trauma, I've experienced the world as if it were on the other side of a pane of glass. I know you're not looking for advice, but for anyone who might be reading this comment and in a similar boat, the best thing I've learned regarding trauma recovery is that what is good for the brain & nervous system is good for reversing trauma. Dancing, for example. Nutrition. Stuff self-help and therapists don't necessarily talk about.
This is such good advice! I’ve found that too. Therapy has told me that intellectualizing my feelings is not the same as feeling them. Just in the rut part still, but it’s diminishing as the years go on. Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts! 🤍
Beautiful as always. I'm sorry about your mother's illness, I'm glad to hear she's in remission. I lost my mom last year and it has been without competition the most jarring, ripping, horrible, reality-fragmenting event that I ever endured.
Lidija, I am so so sorry. I can’t imagine that pain, no matter how close that was to becoming my reality. Thinking of you and your loss. Hoping for brighter days, although, I also know they’ll forever be different.
I'm so glad your mom is better, friend.
And I'm glad that every 4th, you're surrounded by love.
Thank you, Carrie 🥹🤍

I’m trying to make it a habit :) Well, yay!!! Happy to bring you some joy/entertainment/comfort — you choose — on Fridays then!
Just fucking gorgeous writing.

That is so beautifully put - not that it makes anything more bearable, but..
Beautiful writing Marble <3
