This is one of the hardest things to wait for in the journey. I get impatient, but finally this morning I woke up feeling like I'd slept. When I'm in the throes of anxiety, or big emotions that I can't process, I feel it in my whole body, and it comes with exhaustion. Yesterday, I said that just the thought of having wings implied that a being would be compelled to use them. That felt really hard--the implication that I needed to push myself harder than I felt ready for. This morning, I feel like I can give them a stretch, and think about flight. Pre-preparation is so important for the neurodivergent. Preparing to feel better and better is a thing. It's a self love thing, and it helps me be ready to love others, too.

Love, Cheri
