Absolutely love that visual of the squiggly line rising up and down around the baseline - CAN RELATE. I can’t help but think the states, moods, episodes I derail into are appropriate responses to…. whatever has caused the heightened reaction. What boundary has been crossed? What parts of me have been overlooked, disregarded, disrespected? What have I not been able to express? What has not been heard or deliberately not listened to? What do I deeply care about? What doesn’t sit right with me? When the intensity has subsided…. and I feel regulated again, I try to understand myself better. I’m a needy human. We all are 🫶🏼
“we must water the plants we have”, love that. Very thankful for this letter and for all of your writing
