Keep the record playing. Experience the story that is unfolding. Don't skip or we may miss lyrics & rifts that move our bodies & souls.

Sometimes I feel like a broken record when it comes to my life journey. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like their record of human experience starts scratching when life gets rough or gets stuck on one part when struggling to find yourself to be able to move forward or even jumps backwards in the reflection of mounting anxiety, depression, PTSD.

Anyone who has experienced this knows it's beyond frustrating. Some may say just move the tonearm past where the problem is. But then you may miss out on the part that embodies-shifts your entire experience. Imagine missing lyrics of Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway To Heaven' or skip over the climax of the song. Hell imagine missing out on the experience of listening to every song on the Led Zeppelin IV album; missing the story that is being shared. (Replace this with any song or album that moves & awakens you.)

I personally feel like I'm not able to get to the climax of the song or it starts but then jumps backwards right when I am really moving with it. Patience & perseverance is not easy. But I keep reminding myself it's worth it.

Despite setbacks I do see how far I have come. The flare up that scared me & caused me tremendous pain/PTSD did help make me more aware of what further actions I need to take to continue to move forward with hope & empowerment. I'm not going to lie this shook me to my core & had an impact on my mental health. But with the time that has passed I'm coming into the climax of the song; to dance & sing my heart out in ecstatic bliss.

Thank you all for your words of love & support. Thank you for understanding the boundaries I put into the motion to help cancel out what I felt was overwhelming noice in the action to hear myself again. It was a reminder to me to be open, to know it's more than okay to put our mental health first, & that our real people get it. Thank you for sticking by me. Whether I follow you or not, know that I think you are worthy & I'm always rooting for you. Love you fam ๐Ÿค
