If you’ve been around here a while you’ll know that we have a bowl of f***s at the front desk. This is so if you’re out, you can take one for yourself and one to give. I noticed we were running low a few weeks ago and now we’re down to our last f**k. The temptation to leave this as an Art installation in this season of the world is so high.

Be well friends, it’s tough out there and if you’re down to your last f**k, well, your therapist may have one to spare waiting for you.

If you’ve ever been called too intense, too emotional, too much—
maybe what they really meant was too clear.

Your light isn’t a threat.
Their discomfort isn’t your fault.

You didn’t break the dynamic.
You just stopped shrinking inside it.

You don’t have to keep calling it love
just because they showed up.

Maybe they were physically there —
but emotionally absent.
Unavailable.
Confusing.

You can be grateful you survived
and still acknowledge that you needed more.

You are not asking for too much.
You are asking for what love is supposed to be.

Some wounds are shaped like silence.
Like wondering if needing too much made you unworthy.

It didn’t. It never did.

You are not too much.
You were asking for the kind of love that could meet you where you were.

And now — you are learning to give it to yourself.

Today might feel complicated.
And you are allowed to honor every truth it holds.

You are allowed to grieve what you didn’t receive.
You are allowed to celebrate the love you carry forward.
You are allowed to feel angry, grateful, tender, exhausted — even all at once.

You are allowed to feel it fully, without apology.

Healing the mother wound is holy work.
You are doing it, even in the messiness.
You are rewriting the story — and that is enough.

You are enough.

Soft truths, always.
We are breathing with you.
