Plant lover, cat mother and poet in Berlin. Just trying to figure it out, one trauma-dump poem at a time. 🪴
The guilt trap: When 'fun' starts to mean 'self worth'. 'Because the truth is that trauma is not linear. I know we hear it and we say it all the time, but we need to start believing it. I need to start believing it.' Read it here: buff.ly/BTwLe3G
The Trauma Grief Process: On the feelings you will encounter as you heal. Different types of grief come when you're healing from trauma, and they're all joined by the usual five stages. But then there are the extra stages. Read all about them here: buff.ly/bDXFJcq
You are entitled to your grief: On the other feelings that grieving can bring up. A reflection on the emotions that come from bereavement in a dysfunctional family. Read it here: buff.ly/IKSpcdl
We've entered the time of the year where I spend 85% of my time squinting against the sun and double-checking I've actually put my sunglasses on. What a time to live. #microverse #microtography
I thought I longed for summer, but now it's here, I realise I'm longing for a summer I already experienced. #microverse #microtography
nature is beautiful. nature is terrifying. nature is our teacher, our pupil, our mother, and our friend. nature is everything. #microverse #microtography
Each day, the sun takes longer to say goodnight. And each night, the moon has limited time to say hello. This usually makes me happy, but recently I find myself fearfully counting down the days until summer is over, though it hasn't even begun yet. #microverse #microtography
Oh, to be a fairy having a peaceful snooze lying on a tree leaf. #microverse #microtography
The trees are so green, the flowers are bursting from their buds, and the birds have flown back north. Spring is here, and I am so excited for it. #microverse #microtography
Life has swept me up at the moment. But I know I can ride this wave, just like every other. #microverse #microtography
