I also re-experienced youthful feelings of being criticized for my dress and attitude and complimented on my appearance (maybe even a little excessively) only in the context of "But you would look even better if..." while being informed that I was not living in a democracy.

I feel like I might want to start practicing drawing pictures of dancers and skaters

I wonder if I could find a way to make housecleaning feel awesome, like editing something.

SIGH. Woken up by a distant ambulance siren.

Too mysterious. Not the favorite way to wake up. Well, I should take a probiotic before I sleep. I didn't. I will take that now. But tense because the way toxic stuff can get braided into other messages is both intriguing and terrifying. Wow, so much to calm down about already. Not the favorite way to wake up...But maybe somebody is getting the help they need. I don't know. I might be about at an emotional level of a four year old. I might need to hug a pillow to turn seven. My body is older than that and is laying on a big soft, torn skirt...

I'm awake! I'm awake. Sigh. I can go back to sleep and wake up again later.

Relax...

I just realized that if you're afraid of bad dreams, when you lie down in bed, you feel like you're gearing up for a battle.

Actually, things are looking up again!

PMS is still real and dreadful but the symptoms are changing. Yes, I got a shorter (time-wise) shirodhara treatment for the first time, and now it feels like there's many signs the universe likes it when people enjoy creative projects.

And I'm certainly interested in that idea now.

I've heard that some people think when you get more spiritually evolved, you don't have to go through such intense purges.

I love gradients.

Some people are so all or nothing; thank God not everybody's like that. But all are nothing people will purge you. I guess I give them that.

Thank you for being there for me. Menthol.

I believe a pot of MENTHOL is my friend. I LOVE MENTHOL.

I want everyone to evolve.

Really hope people are smarter than this in the future. I don't want to go through this again. I don't think people should have to go through s*** like this. Why? Why are we like this? Figure out what you need to do to get better. It's not the same for everybody. Just figure it out.

Work on your issues.

Be more peaceful. It will help a lot.

Get better.

I am having the most vile f****** experience and I'd never want to go through this again. The only way I know how to feel better is to f****** yell at people. After having thrown up. Jesus, may the people heal themselves.

Poor humans. I need to cry more. I wonder if it would help.

I'm sorry if grief gets so unbearable. It makes people sick. Make me better at stuff they need to be better at because I don't want to live this way anymore.

I'm going to do some healing processes now.

I will be better later. It's terrible right now. I don't understand why I have to live in a body. It's not fair. At least make the body happy again. It was happy once upon a time. Want to be better now.

I only prefer peace today. 🕊️🙏🏾🪷

The sinus headache is a lot and is influential and the body needing peace matters the most.

Choose peace (wisely, bravely.)

I have a very intense headache to heal now. 

Peace.

Who needs flighty, lighted-headed us, anyway?

I feel like if I feel more grounded, it's for the best!

That's a good film and it's very wintery.

You know, in the "Black Robe" movie, I think there was a part where the guy had to run the gauntlet, and he survived.

Please take this in a friendly way.

I like feeling grounded and I don't like feeling flighty. I just really like to feel grounded. So I just want to make it clear that sometimes my life has felt like a really big, long, unpaid job. And the men need help! I am constantly being told to pay attention to the signs that people need help, even if they are not the most recent ones.

Obviously the help that is required extends to a very wide variety of human beings. 

Grounding's cool.

I kind of feel better now. I'm releasing some nervous energy and I'm doing some spoon work on my feet.

"spooning the feet"| Tony&Tina Vibrational Remedies

https://www.tonyandtina.net/tag/spooning-the-feet/

Maybe that'll be a work of art someday too.

If you ever suspected that when artist was spying on you, artist's fiance was also spying on you at the same time, but wasn't quite as intense about it, and in a way she seemed not so bad...

That is to say, I have memories of a person who in retrospect I think might have been the writer's fiance at the time also hanging around or maybe even accompanying him one time. Because he was kind of a manipulative, needy person, you know.

It's Big "Being a Human Being Living in a Body on Earth" issues.

I really feel for the sensitive people and the artists and even though sometimes some people have more success than others still they need to attend to their own health issues whether or not they have a bunch of money or a better house or a bunch of fans or a bunch of work out there that lots of people get to enjoy...and I also feel like having somebody chase after you for a period of time and shout "I love you!" in such a way that it really was more like "I am desperate and angry for your attention, why won't you talk to me?" and such and then write a book which partially incorporated some of those experiences in it and then win accolades for that work is kind of getting to me right now. But maybe it's just being sensitive to scattered energy in general. Maybe what it is, is some people have this energy attached to them and it's about making changes and....

I'll just complete these thoughts later. That's all right.

I suppose it's better to think that way.

The people you inherited these traits from were probably just doing the best they could most of the time. They had to get stuff accomplished. They weren't so much trying to lay the foundations for new systems. They were doing the best they could within the systems they were working in.

I think this is true, too.

A bunch of things are really unraveling right now though anyways.

I really need to figure out what patience means.

I wonder why I felt so nice and clear at night and now during the day, when I want to complete at least eight or nine different cleaning tasks, the left lower back only wants me to do three of them at most, and it's so frustrating. I'm going to not go on the internet as much. It's too much sometimes. We should really be grateful to the people who do lots of physical labor in their jobs though, because I don't think I could do it. Not right now, anyways. Frazzled is a word that is coming to mind and I don't want to be frazzled. I want to be clear and centered and balanced and that is achievable.

Sometimes I think it's fun to love snow ❄️🌫️🏔️🌨️.

I'm such a nice person. (?)

Ha-ha.

Someday some people's kids are going to be looking at those kinds of new stories and all the comments about the patriarchy and I'm really looking forward to that as well.

True.

I feel like things getting worse before they get better is an act of God.

And I can't wait to find a new news story where everyone's complaining about the patriarchy. I'm going to look at so many of the comments.

A certain muscle must agree.

I guess we'll have to figure out why.

All the other muscles can have fun, but the piriformis just says no.

Moreover.

I've decided I might have a fragile glass unicorn horn where the left piriformis muscle should be. But it doesn't always show up. But it shows up sometimes. When I say fragile, it's just emotionally fragile. I kind of want to find some news stories now about the patriarchy being toxic now but maybe I won't. Also, what if I just pay more attention to the other muscles more and just let them help the sad one? It's the piriformis of resentment! Who knows if it even wants help? What if it doesn't? Don't they say, "You know, you can't help a piriformis who doesn't want to be helped?"

Okay I feel better...

I hope you guys (especially men born in a certain era) come back in female bodies with lots of body issues. Now you just think about that now you just think about that now you just think about that now you just think about that now you just think about that.

Omg, so many mixed feelings and then a positive ending.

Worse to come, but reading articles feels preferable to having nightmares at the moment.

Rabbit holes revisited: Joy Division. House of Dolls by Ka-tzetnik 135633 / Yehiel De-Nur is a work of fiction that is required reading in Israeli schools according to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Dolls

"Na'ama Shik, researching at Yad Vashem, the principal Jewish organization for the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust, considers the book as fiction.[7] Nonetheless it is part of the Israeli high school curriculum."

Maybe it's also kind of like propaganda???

"However, while Block 24 really did house a brothel, in reality "it was a brothel for prisoners. Members of the Wehrmacht and SS were not allowed to visit it. The forced prostitutes were mostly German or Polish—none of them were Jewish, neither was any of them called Daniella, as records of the Auschwitz administration show. A military brothel for German soldiers and SS guards also existed, but it was located outside of the camp, and all women there were German civilian prostitutes."[4]

Just rolling my eyes at chronic muscle tension again.

I think sometimes when people go through traumatic stuff, if they don't heal from it, it accidentally affects their relationships with other people. Maybe it depends on the connections between people, and if they have some kind of contract to hold each other accountable to a deeper level of healing or something.

Oh I got some really weird stuff off of the emotion code chart. I got overjoy and self-abuse. I don't think I ever had those two things come up before. Not that I have used the chart that many times but this just seems like a weird combination to me.

I don't know how overjoy would be bad but maybe its because that's not a word I use in real life. But what if it's like giddiness that's very not grounded or something? That's what it seems like it might be.

The thing is is I guess I don't care if I'm giddy sometimes. I think it's fun, but if my muscles getting all tense then I hate that feeling. So then I'm forced to look at what's going on or at least try to figure something out about why the pain is there.

And / Or vice versa?

Maybe I'm only halfway through a deep clean right now.

But really, why am I so angry?

I have cut vegetables and dip. I like my cut up vegetables and dip. Terrible views on motherhood! Addictions! Love, bombing???

It's a lot to get through, but I guess I will keep continuously chipping away at all of it.

But really, why do I not like things that seem very bad for me?

Is it better for other people in society to be that way? Is it better for other people's parents to be that way? Is it better for other people's sons or daughters to be that way? Is it better for other people's bank accounts to be that way? It just seems like it's not good. It just seems like it's thoughtless. It only seems like it's good for maybe some bank accounts and that's it, but bank accounts don't have feelings.

On the more positive note...

You're probably in a good position to figure out which rich people's kids you do or don't care about more than which poor people's kids you do or don't care about, and how you come to make those decisions.

Maybe their kids will unlearn their bad habits very swiftly.

Patriarchal Mothers are usually nicer to the  Patriarchal Daddies than they are to anyone's kids anyways.

Well, the laundry needs to be done anyway.

Recovering from all that patriarchal programming doesn't happen overnight, after all.

What if solitude is so familiar that it can never go away.

Why do humans even speak.

And another painful life experience is "Are you sure that's real?" 

So much gaslighting even by kind people, even by the nicest people, even by by the people you live with who help and take care of you.

Nevertheless, your experiences are your experiences and they are yours and they are only yours.

Just accept and appreciate that life is hard sometimes.

Poor humans, sometimes.

Honestly, the worst thing about the bad dream I had was that when I saw violence and destruction, it was while I was in crowd of people and some of them had such a low level of consciousness witnessing these things. It was dreadful to be around them. Better to go away from those people, and try to learn what can be learned.

Consider new ways.

You don't have other people's experiences, so if you cannot understand them, do not judge them. You can if you really feel like it, but you are wasting your time.

I am changing and choosing something better.

When I fell asleep, the dreams were low level. Getting stuck in a front of police in riot gear, in a place where I felt I shouldn't be. Seeing violence and death. But now I am awake and recovering. To choose better than that is what I can do.

I need to get better sleep.

I had to figure out why I didn't really feel good last night, because yikes, that was terrible.

People have different perspectives on why some things happen. Lots of changes are happening right now, aren't they.

There's a personality that wants to enjoy the arts. Perhaps pick them apart a bit. Perhaps make fun or make light of some things. Because sometimes the energy has been so intense! And not everybody handles that energy in the same way. I can enjoy and appreciate some of it too. There are energies that really want you to be aligned with their version of love. There's ancient stuff that's still potent today and poets were really not messing around sometimes. Anyways, and then I have to focus on my health first and I don't know why things accidentally get out of balance. Hopefully things are getting more balanced. I think humans like to live in balance.

Surely my fascia could use a good meal because doesn't everyone need a good meal?

 "When you sit that way, it's bad for it."

"Oh, I was trying to do what was good for it."

I wonder if my fascia could have this mindset someday.

A tale of tight fascia on the left returns.

Making me feel stupid for believing my fascia was better but if I get mad at it that's probably not going to help. So I'm just going to have to be patient and loving with my fascia.

Isn't this kind of fun?

Naturally I feel like the voices of some ghost  geniuses could telling me "When I want your opinion I'll ask for it." But they put their stuff out there. Why do they do it? What do they want? We want people to love you and worship you and you need to provide the content that will make them love you and worship you but then you have to stay stuck in the box of the content they're loving and worshipping so they can still love and worship you. And we can't do that anymore. Even if the words don't have to change, the energy behind the words can change. There's a lot of people laboring to put other people up on a stage to deliver messages. They're laboring right now. They've been laboring this whole time. Maybe you should start writing them some checks. Do you think you want to do that? You look like you could turn into the kind of person who's good at writing checks. I'm not good at writing checks at the moment. Maybe I will be in the future but right now I'm just getting better at saying the things I think about and expressing my opinions. So that's why I'm expressing myself. If that's a problem, who cares?

O, these are all new to me!

 “the gift that bright exults”: On the Poetry of Alice Fulton – Persimmon Tree

https://persimmontree.org/spring-2024/poetry-of-alice-fulton/

(Bones underneath the review. I said pools. I said poems.)

I wish we were better. Oh well.

Let's try to be nice to ourselves as we learn and understand and unlearn and get better.

Now I wanna know...

How I can get better at releasing old ways, too.

Hee hee. Me and my mug of warm lemon water briefly assess the landscape.

Some of the people some of you think look hot right now are just going to start looking really sad very soon if they don't start working on themselves. Best of luck! May fortune be in their favor!

Don't be fascists.

Fascia affects the lymphatic system. Maybe I'll just be quiet for a while. We'll see how long that lasts.

This sort of thing could be helpful, too.

"The Emotion Code - SO FAR SO GOOD !"

http://www.sofarsogoodtherapy.com/the-emotion-code.html

It's got a chart. That's a tool that can be utilized.

Also a happy thought.

People can get better at crying. When they're  better at crying, it helps. Anyways, that's how it seems to me right now.

Maybe it'll be fun for them to learn more about what they're supposed to learn about.

You can't really take away other people's childhood experiences. They have those experiences. They have to figure out what they're supposed to learn from them and how to heal whatever they're supposed to be healing.

This also sounds good to me at the moment.

People can make good things but like consider refining the energy and then it will be experienced differently and probably much betterly.

Kind of happier now. Thanks, lemon water!

I feel like foot reflexology could be a really good thing. Foot reflexology! 💗😊🙏🏻😹

I'm going to get better.

I'm going to get better at being more balance so I don't have such intense, horrible experiences.

It's as if God has spoken to me herself.

It's too bad some assholes aren't more motivated to learn how to help themselves. That can change!!!!!!!

Good idea.

Brothers learning how to help themselves heal might get more popular.

Lemon water is nice.

Later.... It's been REAL. A real life. Auuuugh, oh my goodness, surely I will feel much better very soon. I need to be by myself now.

Just let old ways go.

I cried at "Why can't I ease your mind and melt your cold, cold, heart" recently.

I gotta get through this.

God help us.

Learn how to be kinder to oneself while suffering.

This too shall pass...

 Try to be much nicer to yourself. You really need it. I also really need it. Amen. Help me survive.

Auuuugh.

My body is detoxing. Please God let me feel better soon. Good luck humanity. Prayers for all humans having to deal with these physical bodies on this this incredibly challenging planet.

This could be sort of like an era of cultural deprogramming for some people. 😊

All kinds of peoples from all kinds of different backgrounds are beginning to realize they can't repeat the old ways that they were taught.

Good with spices but also good without spices.

 

Endives, olive oil, walnut, pomegranate seeds, spices.

Stitchery.

I did the wrong thing at the top of this hat but I kind of think it looks interesting. Reminds me of the underpinnings of a skirt.

Stitchery, stitchery, stitchery.

I wonder if other people have been having more vivid dreams.

I had a dream about being very pulled towards learning more about somebody (perhaps I was even getting fascinated???) but then he disappeared. A guy who lived across the hall in my apartment building in the dream was very specific about wanting me to know he had gotten deported. He got deported? Nooo! I needed to find out more. I asked where he was and the guy said he was back in his hometown. I went out on the street and a young person told me I had said a little too much and now I was in a gossip column story. But the story was in an obscure Spanish language publication. The guy opened a suitcase and a bunch of different kinds of books and magazines were in it. But I really couldn't find the publication he was talking about. When the dream ended, people were saying nice things about the guy who got deported, that he was a good person and such.

Want to get overly fascinated? Maybe not.

But sometimes I am quite fascinated by the kinds of messaging people got inside of their brains, both in previous centuries and in more recent times. And these messages have impacted a lot of people at very young ages. And the messages have influenced their ways of perceiving the world later on in life, too. Because, after all, the same kinds of situations can different affect people so differently.

It's kind of cool that an unwell society's collapsing.

I'm sure a lot of different kinds of people can sit for a while and think about better ways to move forward.

On the other hand, some people are really happy because soon they get to buy discount candies.

Predawn hours; freedom hours.

I believe the reason why I had some weird experiences is because a higher power is at work. That's why there was plane trouble when I was on the plane with that one rich guy and he got scared and he talked to the pilot and the pilot landed the plane in Memphis. He just talks a lot of s*** when he's in front of the public. If he figured out how to help himself more could do more good for the planet before his next life. And I think some people understand that. Thank you for your help. 💗

That's an enriching thought.

"I feel like more of the rich people need to see the self and self-entrusted side of being good to the not - so - opulent."

Holy holy holy...

It seems the universe is giving some enchanting "living inside of a church pipe organ" feelings.

Such tutorial dreams.

I already had cheese and eggs so bringing on drills. Just kidding. I whispered into my phone:

I already had chaste and sobering dreams.

One dream was about a woman who lived like a maid even though she said she was a wife. She ran a household and took care of her sick husband, but something about her situation was setting it up so that when her husband died she was going to be impoverished. She wouldn't talk to anyone about this. She just accepted her situation as good enough. The combination of the illusion of security and wealth with the reality of what was actually happening was truly sad to behold.

Another dream was about two people getting into a fight then making up, but unfortunately the fight was the part that got in the public eye and then the man started to get threats from strangers in his e-mails. I feel very chastened by this sobering little dream. I guess fame and money are stern teachers sometimes.
