Beautifully written and so relatable. I'm glad she'll get some space to walk and breathe and be because it sounds like she does want to say something important; she just needs the opportunity to be heard without having to fight for it.
Thanks for this, you are not alone. This time of year is the worst for trying to hang on. Take care of you. Have missed your wuzzles and snippets. So happy you're back! Big hugs!!
I’m sorry to hear about your rough patch, Kristine. I hope writing about your vulnerable alter-ego has been cathartic. It was a beautifully written story- you’re lucky to be able to articulate your feelings that way, another thing to be grateful for. Take care!
Such a beautifully written piece about accepting the beautiful, good, bad and the ugly that lingers in all of us. Thank you for sharing and being so open, a real gift not only for yourself but for all who read your wise words. 💕
I, for one, appreciate your honesty. As always I find you extremely relatable and it feeds my soul to read what I can’t express myself. I continue to be in awe of your skill as a writer. You are incredibly open and honest and I look forward to every new post on Wuzzles and Snippets. 💕
Bless you for you sharing your vulnerability, which of course shows strength and courage more than you will accept. Perhaps the caged need to be released from time to time to remain calm when caged most of the time. Every part of us craves expression and wants to be heard, and all of us has value, listening to the deepest part of ourselves is scary and takes more courage than simply slamming the cage door shut. Bless you, peace in every step.
"I have been tiptoeing the razor thin line of minimal coping"—well put—it's what I did all autumn! And yes, I think making friends with that caged bee-otch is definitely the way to go. By the same token, don't beat yourself up too much for *her* outburst... we've all been under a certain amount of strain of late.
This is fu**ing amazing. The caged girl in my heart runs around, begging "look and me, look at me, aren't I good, don't you love me?" and it's pathetic. Still. Acceptance might be the wiser course. Thank you for this <3 PS: Girls are allowed to be angry. Own it.
Perhaps one more thought: She might need an eviction notice. Kind and gentle, yet very, very firm. There is a good home for her in the past, a better home than the present could ever give her. She might come back to squat, but hopefully, with time, she'll be more comfortable in her new home.
What a courageous piece! Putting these thoughts & feelings into words is one thing, but sharing them with an audience is another level of bravery. Thank you for being vulnerable. So many of us can relate. I have some stories of my own inner demon that would curl your hair. You are right that it's a tough & delicate balance, and one that needs constant monitoring. Be gentle and kind to yourself, because you are such a wonderful and generous person. And if you ever want to talk...I'm here. :)

Thank you so much Renee. She’s out and about and not shouting!

Thank you🥰. I am grateful indeed, and feeling lighter in the writing. Rough patch, but learning from it!

Thanks Cindy. It’s tricky, that accepting bit, but I am working on it!

Wise words Ben, thank you for them. Peace in every step….yes please!🥰

I concur…she might actually be fun to hang out with once she stops shouting so much😋
Your inner woman in a cage looks and sounds much like mine! Maybe we should accept, let them out, and they could go for a play date together!
Thanks for the giggle Kelsey… I can picture it!

Own it. Yes! Thanks so much Joanne❤️ Working on the wiser course….

Thanks Nicole❤️ It has been weirdly cathartic to write about this. And to find so many other folk with similar innards!
