Community is what helps us.
This weekend, a very good friend ( @revoluciana ) reminded me to be myself, that I need to be more myself, that sometimes I need reminding to be myself. I loved the moments we shared this weekend, and will hopefully share again.
This morning, for reasons, old traumas hit hard. So, I remind myself who I am, parts of me I neglected in pain and anxiety, and take care of myself how I can.
More friends came in to help, even if they weren't there. I find myself calming to tea I received as a gift from a lovely marrying couple, and think of the beautiful moments they shared with us.
Hold to community, in light and in darkness. This was a middling-to-bad day, overall, though nowhere near as bad as pre-transition. Really bad days get harder, when community is needed most of all. And good days... well, celebrations are meant to be with community.
