“We are most vulnerable during moments of transition. Yet change presents an opportunity to reflect on and release our past. Each time we open a new chapter, sadness will find us, wearing different faces, delivered in different forms. Being present with it and creating space for it allows for its eventual release. Change is hardest to embrace when the loss of our past is palpable, and the payoffs are not yet in sight.

I call it courageous living. Others call it a leap of faith...

Courageous, creative living is the ability to act, leap, or keep moving forward, even when confidence is nowhere to be found.”
Bonnie Wan, The Life Brief: A Playbook for No-Regrets Living

“At its worst, the purpose of a psych ward is to normalize you back into a community that is anything but. Its purpose is not to heal you, but to make you stay sick so that you can function alongside the lies of a country steeped in them, so you can function alongside the lies you are forced to tell about yourself. We are all doubling in order to live, and the psych ward tells you to squash that inner knowing. It's simply not useful if you hope to thrive. At its best, psychiatric care gives you tools to let your inner knowing walk alongside the insanity of the world and create survival tools to trust what you know and survive the gaslighting and discrimination that seeks to burn down your house.”
P. Carl, Becoming a Man: The Story of a Transition
