On healing.

[morleyroarly]

This year has so far consisted mainly of two things: getting married (coming up in November) and regaining my health. Nobody really wants to hear about the travails of developing a guest list and picking out bridesmaids dresses, so instead I'll talk about my path through healing

Yes, what Miki said. While you may feel boring, you are absolutely not! Healing takes *so* much energy.

I have been feeling similarly lately -- boring, a shell of my former vivacious self. I can't think of things to talk about other than the things that have been consuming me: pregnancy and celiac -- and boring domestic stuff like the house and buying a car. I constantly have to remind myself that being physically unwell is hard and people still like me even if I can't talk about anything else right now.

The moment they told me I had broken my femur (after the xrays got back), everything I thought was my life I instantly gave up on. At the time I felt like I knew it was all over, I wouldn't be a whole person again. No more biking, no more traveling, no more making large bull shit art and putting together events, no more getting around easily and feeling free to do whatever it is that I want to do in the world. Everything looked rather bleak and sad
