@braingoburrrrr5: Menopause is such a weird time to be finding yourself. I joined a class, on a whim, a little over a year ago - and through this I have watched a group of people who it's unlikely our lives never would have crossed - throw their hearts out on the centerpiece and let us pick them up, patch them, and hand them round the table. I was unprepared for how attached and endeared I would become to this group of strangers. I don't talk about the Big Bad Thing, not that I'm afraid too or won't but because people who are given the tale have GIANT EMOTIONS about it. It triggers everyone at some point in the tale. So I just don't, or I make it a TLDR snippet that leaves them with their mouths hanging open. But I also feel like I cheated them all from knowing ALL of me. Some of them have become good friends - but I'm just not ready. Not yet. Im grateful for Bestie, and Roomie and the kids who rode this all out with me. Bestie is a ride-or-die and I love her all the more for it. All those beautiful broken and patchwork hearts on the table ... they aren't prepared for the bucket of tears and horror that comes with mine. Eldest poet child would tell me to put it in a beautiful bowl with flowers and nobody will care. Spill it with grace and art. He might be right. Love you. 💜 Going to go upload to the secret Substack and maybe eat an ice cream sundae. . . . . #livewallpaper #fondosdepantalla #movimiento #background #purple
