This is the school counselor. Thank you so much to speaking to our girls. It was very powerful. One of the girls came to me after. It was about the grief connection and ED. You made a difference for her! – Texas School Counselor

I think getting this van - and my life uprooting this past month - has really made me pause and reflect on how far I’ve really come.

For the looooove do I really have yet another typo on this carousel!? Proofread Linds!!!!!! Anyway I read that short story the other day and smiled. It’s actually one of my favorites damnit - I just need to rework the whole 20 lines about the character slicing bananas and how it was a quick hack for eating less (cringe!!!!!!!!!!)

Don’t have a whole lot to say lately, but I do think recovery is worth it for the mundane: when you’re out at a restaurant, and you don’t give a shit about a calorie count. Or which food is okay. Or what you’ll drink to not eat. Or just idk. The frantic nature of socializing in an ED - trying to be present but 1,000 miles away worried about bread carb counts. And how you’ll get rid of it - or the most subtle preoccupation with simply if you eat more than the others.

Clearly I’m just re-posting things I’ve written in the past but I think it’s difficult for us people in recovery to come up with all these nuances to say.

Still in a listening and learning moment of life so I don’t have much to share. Has been one of the toughest months of my adult life - and yet I know I’ll get through it. I have ED recovery on lock and I’m proud of that.

I’m listening lately, cause I don’t really have anything to share. And it feels bloody freeing - to not have any self-imposing need to say something. Who do I think I am anyway - always “needing” to say something? I’m just a person who happened to write about recovery 8 years ago and now I have this. This wonderful and painful thing I only have because some of you choose to be here, or be there, when I blogged.

There’s an eeriness in Boulder, in South Boulder. On my street. The way you nod knowingly at a neighbor, or overhear people talking about what happened this week.

Thisssss quote has such @annelamott vibes. Thank you @schittscreek — whatta gem of a thought.

I can post the same variations of these 1,000x over and they still remind me in my own lil ways to recorrect on a Saturday when I’m laying in bed, typing this out, and trying to decide how I wanna live my life today.

Haven’t one bit of desire to write this week until today. And this one just flowed easily.

I wanted to drop you a line in appreciation for sharing your story. 1 of my twin daughters heard you on campus & the other 1 was quick to tell me about you in their NCL meeting. Both girls came to me at separate times to talk about what you had shared. You probably hear this all the time, but keep on keeping on sister. You definitely delivered your message in a very impactful way, especially to the unique species of the 13 yr old girl. This Daddy (& former educator) cannot thank you enough for being real w/ them and not sugar-coating some of the issues that you have dealt with and continue to conquer on a daily basis in your own right. – Middle School Coach With 2 Daughters
