snippets & glimpses

Snippets and glimpses are all you give me, never the full picture, just pieces of you, mismatched, jagged and broken, and so you find in me no more.

Instagram

10 years. I couldn’t work out how to put the old photos on the left and the current photo on the right with the layout option I had 🙄 I’m not really tech savvy. — I haven’t taken any selfies in a while. I snapped the one on the left just now, in the Writers Victoria library, where I’m waiting for a workshop with Lee Kofman to begin. I haven’t taken selfies because all I see are the same tired, empty eyes and the same strained smile as 10 years ago. — The difference between these two women is that the one on the right — 30 year old me — didn’t know that she’d survive the depression she was in. She didn’t know she’d survive the breakdown of both her mental health and her marriage. And she didn’t want to. The woman on the left knows that she can survive anything, and she will — even though she is still descending, and at the moment, nothing feels like anything, and everything feels like nothing. — Image description in alt text — #depression #amwriting #mentalhealth #mentalillness #writingcommunity #10yearchallenge #tenyears #thingschangeandtheystaythesame #ivehadgoodhelpandgoodfriendsalongtheway

Believe in the impossible. — Drawing this card suggests you are about to get a rare opportunity — something that is a one-off is about to happen. It is important that you believe in it. If you convince yourself that whatever you’re asking for can never go in your favour, then it won’t. This card is a reminder to believe in your dreams. — Image description in alt text — #moonologyoraclecards #yasminboland

Industrial. One day, when my job is no longer required, I will be able to become a barista! — Image description in alt text — #givemeallthecoffeeonnightshift

Sundays are for lounging. At least, they are for the cat. The rest of us are gardening and cleaning and weeding and washing. — Image descriptions in alt text — #sundaysareforrelaxing #cuddlecat #helooksblacksometimesbutheisactuallybrown #houseworkisforever

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it. Terry Pratchett. — Image description in alt text — #fadinglight
