Stay Soft, Stay OpenStay Soft, Stay Open, Ep. #216: January 9, 2025This episode is about a hard fucking day, internalizing the garbage that was thrown at me, fighting to climb my way out of a 500-foot canyon with the help of my solid, fierce community, and how immensely proud I am of myself, for all that I am and all that I've done.
Listen to this episode on a future garbage day, Jieun. I believe you. I'm sorry. You didn't deserve this. You will survive this.

I have a list of tried and true things that I do when I'm really struggling. Today ended as a hard day. Having Complex-PTSD feels like all the cards are flipping over, all the dominos are falling down, and the table is being flipped upside-down.

Subconsciously, giving help feels safer to me because I feel like I'm in control, but it also leads me to feeling a ton of resentment. I often give until I'm giving out of an empty well. It's something I'm working on. I'm scared of giving birth. I also accidentally drank moldy almond milk today because the cap was busted and we didn't know it.

The shitty reality is that, when I started showing up in my friendships as my full self, a lot of people did leave me.
