Yeah.
All of those things.
You know, I think some of it is muscle memory.
For example, as soon as I relapsed, you know, my husband and I within 48 hours had to pack up our things, leave our home, rehome our dogs, which was the most heartbreaking thing ever.
And I had this feeling of, you know, I've been here before.
I've had this moment of my life imploding overnight and none of that gets easier.
But also I think this time I went into it without any illusions that I could hold onto the plans that I had, that I could hold onto the person I'd been even 48 hours before.
And with that came an openness to everything, right?
to the terror, to the beauty, to maybe even the learnings.
And that made it easier.
The last time I went through this, I was clinging to the person that I'd been that I was no longer.
And I was constantly comparing myself to that person.
And this time, I just let it all happen to me.
And instead of trying to control or trying to resist, I tried to flow with it.
And that made things a lot easier.
The other thing I feel like I learned, and I alluded to this earlier from the last time, was how crucial community is.
The thing I'm proudest of, my proudest accomplishment in the last decade is the community that I've built.
of family, of friends, of chosen family, of fellow artists and writers who I learn from, who inspire me every day.
And the thing about community is you can't just create one overnight in a moment of need and then expect people to be there for you.
Ideally, your initial way of showing up in a community is one of generosity and one of extending support without expectation of ever needing anything in return.
