i just wanna say that it’s been quite the journey these past few weeks being hella public and real about my chronic back pain and general lack of energy. and it’s been really interesting to hear some of the responses that range from really supportive and loving to uncertainty around how to interact with me. there have been remarks that have been made that - while good intentioned - come across as dismissive. 

there is an urgency for me to “get over” whatever it is that i am experiencing when the reality is that it has taken me years to openly acknowledge that i experience physical pain that makes the daily struggle a really big fucking struggle. and i want to affirm that the ways we internalize ableism and capitalism in order to survive and in order to produce and “perform” does not negate any expression of disdain, discomfort, pain, sadness, etc around trauma and our physical well being.

and then there is also silence. because what do we do when the people who we assume are always on top of it are “suddenly” no longer on top of it?

i need us to be uncomfortable together so we can learn together. so we can be better people with each other. so we can actually listen to one another’s needs. so we can create space to breathe and pause and fill ourselves with the love and the community before we push each other to keep moving. there is always more work to be done and our mental and physical health is just as precious as our visions for justice and liberation.
