that was shockingly beautiful, almost... INDULGENT in its focus on choosing each word for its beauty... for the hedonistic pleasure of the gorgeous use of words & language... call me impressed. call me hungry for more. call my desire to revel in in the pleasure of poetry & prose with a ravenous pleasure-seeking urge to rival oscar fucking wilde.

I’ve had seasons where it felt like two versions of me were dragging me in opposite directions. One furious, exhausted, ready to burn everything down, and another begging for softness, for calm, for a chance to breathe again. I’ve never known how to explain that internal tug-of-war without sounding dramatic, but your words captured it with such clarity and compassion.

I wanted to explain how it felt to have a raging war but still fighting for that peace. I’m glad you understood it and felt it, thank you for your beautiful commentπŸ’—πŸ’—

Your writing captures that inner tug of war so vividly it felt like watching my own mind unravel and rebuild.

It reminds me how My Accountability Partner leans on structure to steady those chaotic seasons, something I’ve explored in recent posts.

Which part of this reflection felt hardest to write?

I love how you articulate the duality we’re not taught to acknowledge β€” that rage and tenderness aren’t enemies but two expressions of an overwhelmed psyche trying to survive. Gorgeous work.
