::eat drink (speak) and be mary::

the girl(woman): one Mary Brave, battling toward peace and transformation. essentially loving and very much obsessed with home. poet/ playwright/ superheroine/ being.

the complications: mental illness recovery - eating disorder, depression, anxiety, self-injury, codependency; issues - shame, abandonment, control, scarcity/ deprivation, identity; color - grief for one home, one residence, two loved ones, and (the impending end to) parents' marriage.

assets: hella good resilience and desire to live well - as acquired from my one-and-only, altogether brilliant Home, recent removal from extended exile period to an actual city, (far-off) friends who love in spectacular ways, and a superdoctor.

moody quote of the moment: "I wish for a place/ where the earth doesn't shake/ and if the earth won't be still/ then I will." -Lisa Loeb
