I’m a relationally motivated active #writer. I’d like to get to know other writers and eventually find someone I connect with and trust to do a beta reader #writing exchange with (weekly? every other week?) for accountability & feedback. My novel is in its second draft and deals with #addiction #plantmedicine #narcissism #AdvaitaVedanta #radicalacceptance. I am an xp’d beta reader and enjoy many genres. Smut & horror are not my jam to read but I’m happy they bring joy to others.

If a natural guard dog and a cat we named Princess Monster Truck for excellent reasons can cohabitate, isn’t there hope for us bald two-leggers

These are the best holidays with the kids so far we spent together (at home).
I rearranged some things in the living room - in which I absolutely love the afternoon light ✨ - and we even cleaned the windows. I can’t believe it.🙀
There is lots of screen time as always, but I organized my and our free time in a satisfying way so that I get rest and my things done and do not feel stuck and frustrated most of the time.

This is what a real 61 year old woman looks like. No filters, Botox, lifts, fillers, hormone therapy or whatever the fuck else. I did menopause cold turkey. #aging #nofilters #nowork #radicalacceptance #itsnottrivial

I had lunch with someone today that I felt like I was in love with for a very long time.
There was nothing there. I felt almost … bored.
It was apparent he hasn’t changed at all.
I have.

@drneevil Practise radical acceptance, Niamh - don't worry if you're rubbish at it, just have fun 😊
#RadicalAcceptance
Homelessness = Come at me, fucker. Terminal Diagnosis = Come at me, fucker. No one left in my life = Come at me, fucker.
...I've already made a pact with myself to be un-fucking-stoppable no matter what curves #life throws my way.
I have made a #breakthrough mentally over recent weeks and let my old #mindset die.
Once you accept death, you can truly fucking live & face your fears/set boundaries in the name of self-care.

Apropos lyrics for another atmospheric river event here on the west coast of the US:
“it might be raining
I’d rather it be dry
but it’s crazy-making
to try and fight the sky
I think it could save me
to be with what is,
just be with what is this time.”
Cue up Good to Me anywhere you stream music, and let its joyful sounds carry you through the weekend —> https://songwhip.com/shannoncurtis/good-to-me 🎶🎵🖤

Looking at photos from when I was married with 2 puppies hits deep, but I choose to be grateful for the time we shared & focus on #LettingGo & being grateful for TODAY and the next chapter of my life.

#Antisocial (i.e., socially and behaviorally aberrant) pathology is present in all the #ClusterB disorders (#narcissist, #borderline, #histrionic, #psychopath/ #sociopath). For example, lack of #empathy, #integrity, #accountability/ #responsibility, psychological and emotional maturity and a #conscience. These antisocial traits may manifest and present differently in the disorders. Nevertheless, the trait are fundamentally antisocial.
So, when you’re desperately searching for articles, videos, books and therapy on how to manage, fix, understand and help a #BPD, #NPD, #HPD or ClusterB variety pack partner, you’re looking for information on how to get a psycho to love you and treat you better. Does this sound rational? Realistic? Healthy?
Furthermore, this is why enabler/apologist therapist and YouTube “experts” without degrees or experience working in mental health recommend practicing #RadicalAcceptance. They may never explicitly say so, but radical acceptance really means these people aren’t going to significantly change and they won’t stop abusing you.

I’ve decided I am going to start doing a formal practice of #Vipassana meditation on a daily basis in the morning as well as using it to pause and check in with myself at random points throughout my day. #RadicalAcceptance #TaraBrach

EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
I'm going away for a month. When I return, in the new year, I hope to have a new outlook on life. Because, right now, THIS is how I feel.

A state of mind v important to me: all common folk are allowed to ask for financial support!
Looking down on someone for it, judging whether someone "needs" the money, judging what they will use the money for, & requiring them to meet any criteria before their request is deemed as "acceptable" are all toxic thought patterns
This is the kind of crab-bucket thinking #capitalism breeds & we need to be mindful of how it makes us judge ppl & harm them.

2022 has been a year of immense growth for me, both personally and professionally.
Honestly, my biggest takeaway from the year is this: if he wanted to be here with me, he would be. It’s obvious I won’t be able to will him into my life. Today, I’m ok with that.
Bring da acceptance of capacities and limitations without givin in to da fear based stories. Don't give dem da power to shut youz down. #MentalHealth #RadicalAcceptance

24 hours on Mastadon. My big brother, who has always been the hoopiest frood in the Universe to me, mentioned this site twice in 2 days. I didn’t want or need another social network…. But he’s pretty cluey so I thought “Fuck it, Shebs… go have a squizzy.” And here I am. 😊 I don’t think I have EVER felt so seen and so accepted by people who are so incredibly cool, inspirational and clever - This isn’t about influencers and monetisation - Nay! It’s about support, empathy, validation and REAL LIFE. We are the cool kids now. Always were, always will be. It just took me more than half a lifetime to realise. 💖 Thank you for the most exciting & positive 24 hours I’ve had in ages. 😘 #thanks #mastodon #radicalAcceptance #coolKids #newfriends #webelong #fuckthepatriarchy #PeopleOverProfit #genx

Guided meditation today by #TaraBrach about #RadicalAcceptance of pain. This one is in Spanish (how many languages does she speak, she has a number of other languages available) but focuses on physical pain. I need more guided meditations on radical acceptance of emotional and spiritual pain. #DailyMeds
