I love the metaphor of keeping yourself limp instead of bracing for impact. Going to try to practice that more myself.

I found it interesting that sometimes we injure ourselves more by tensing up or trying to break our fall, and I tried to find a way to apply that to my mental health as well.

Mutual aid is what you're looking for! There are lots of good autonomous collectives in Florida, and most are family-friendly. I'm angrier every day, but working with people to directly combat the neglect and cruelty has saved my life more than I can count.

Yes, I love volunteering with mutual aid orgs! I think it’s the best way to make a direct impact.

In this harsh era I’m glad some of us can soften. And others like your niece, stand firm. Love your dress and setting. Dress details?
