Un-polish 1.
I'm going to post some incomplete thoughts to nudge the part of me that only wants to present things in polished form.
Here's what's happening with me:
-Going to a Workshop for Black Women with Zelda Lockhart at Her Story Garden Studios. Meeting 4 other women around my age and older who want to practice writing and discover home (literal and figurative) at the same time. Feeling awed by their talent. Recognizing myself in their struggles. Getting things out/getting past our inner critics in 10 minutes of writing at a time.
-Remembering my odd child self.
-Cluttered apartment and lack of energy for doing anything about it.
-Body changes and hard work to accept them - rings tighter on fingers, underwear digging into sides. (+New, bigger underwear. No workaround for rings yet).
-Budget (???).
-Work mistakes. Antsy-ness.
-Manipulative over-givers on TLC shows. Tongue-clucking and recognition of my past (current?) self.
-Hiding from bell hooks' All About Love.
-First-time reading Butler's Parable of the Sower. Seeing the principles of Earthseed in context, vs. in amb's Emergent Strategy.
-Guilt over unreturned emails I owe to people I respect and love.
-Shame over my distant-self. Wanting to let people in more easily.
