i am more than tired and resist being called “strong” at every occasion. my fierce intentionality to live a well-balanced life, one in which my nervous system isn’t a wreck, will take me some years to be re-programmed but i’m determined, by any means necessary to do it. for my own sake i’m prioritizing my SELF, for my SELF💜
Yes! That's when we know we're getting into that deeper level of healing, when we start talking about our nervous system rather than our more obvious symptoms of overwork and overwhelm.

Thank you for this, and for referencing one of my favorite books you wrote! I would say the StrongBlackman trope disproportionately endangers and kills Black disabled men and Black queer men. Whew
