I put these pins together because they're the lines I keep coming back to right now.
"The tools I use to harm myself are wearing down."
I've spent a lot of my life picking myself apart, physically and mentally. Picking at my skin, picking at my flaws, picking apart everything I said or did. Always finding something wrong, something to fix, something to criticize.
As I've been learning more about the mind-body connection, including TMS and the work of Louise Hay, I've started noticing how often those patterns overlap in my own life.
The way I speak to myself. The way I hold onto anger. The way I try to control things when I feel afraid. The ways I've learned to turn things inward.
Same pattern, different tool.
Lately, I've noticed those tools wearing down. I'm catching the criticism sooner. I'm giving myself more room to make mistakes. I'm learning to put down things I once used against myself.
And I like that this line leaves room for all of it.
"I love me more than ever now."
This is from the last song on my album Mirror, Mirror Off The Wall. I used to hate myself. I used to believe I was too much, stupid, ugly, gross, a burden.
I'm still learning, but I can honestly say I love me more than ever now. I've come a long way from wanting to disappear.
"No one is coming to set me free. I rescue me."
From YOUNIVERSE. I spent so long waiting for someone to save me, a partner, a parent, a therapist, a god.
But I've learned that I have a part in my own rescue. I can reach for the mirror, look at what's there, and stay with myself through what I find.
"I'm still sensitive."
From Couldn't Be Quieted on my album OLD BONES. I used to be ashamed of my sensitivity. I was told I cried too much, felt too much, was too much.
But I'm still sensitive. That's how I experience the world. That's how I write songs.
I'm learning to give my hypervigilance a new job, to practice awareness instead of living on constant alert, and to trust myself with what I notice.
These are the lines that are resonating with me right now. I thought someone else might need them too.
If you do, they're here. And if they speak to something different in your own life, I love that too.
Thank you for looking.
