Word of the year

[ysobel]

...I'm tired of not being okay. And I can't claw myself back to some semblance of anything normal. So instead I'm working on playing with redefining "okay" (that is, changing my expectations of what good-enough actually is). That and accepting things as they are (that is, accepting my own limitations etc). And also practicing gentler vocabulary towards myself, like replacing "working on" with something less dreary, like "practicing" or "playing with", and like de-should-ing things, and just ... stuff.

Okay?

Okay.

Here, have a haiku:

2021
let's hope it's kinda boring
that would be okay

This all sounds splendid.

And here's to a very boring 2021. Yes.

Amen to that haiku. I could handle boring and mundane.

I've learned to use the term journey rather than goal. Because journey means there are most likely going to be detours along the way and journey also means what happens along the way is what matters not the destination.

Boring is extremely okay.

[darkcedars]

Yes please, boring would be fantastic.

I'm trying to practice gentler self-talk too. It isn't easy.
