The vulnerability struggle is real

[Krista (she/her/goddess)]

This is, in fact, the true battle. Recognizing your self, in all its imperfect glory, as valuable just as you are.

People need to figure out how to meet you where you are for a change, and that’s uncomfortable for us people-pleasing types.

You’re real. You’re valuable. You’re the best you possible. Disability strips us bare. Cuts to the bone and shows what’s underneath.

And it’s all good.

Hang in there!

Such a wonderful honest piece. Wallowing is allowed. In fact it even has ‘allow’ in the spelling. Hugs.

Thanks Tamsin, and I hadn't noticed that, how cool! 😊

I hadn’t either until I wrote it just now

Glad you're back. I love your poems. They're honest which, after all, is the aim of art. And fuck the rules. Art is a rebellious act. You do you and spill the tea xx

[Lisa Andradez]

Fuck the rules indeed!!! Thanks Lorna 😊

I’m always up for tea so more tea than poetry is not a problem. You do whatever you need to do and I’l read/like/comment/restack.

Wallowing is allowed, and who hasn’t, at one time, felt like crap, like a failure, an imposter, a burden?! I have and do, and your friend is a moron to have said that idiocy about the wheelchair, but people are people and I had a few days with a friend who kept telling me everything I did was wrong! I slept for 48 hours when she left last Friday 😂! And I’m here for the tea and the poetry and the fun and joy of writing and sharing with everyone, whether they are superstars or you and me’s. Big big hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Francesca!! Love to you ❣️
