Status Updates From Glow in the F*cking Dark

Tara has my heart right now. This is such a good book.

“If what you are hoping to do is heal and show up as the most loving version of yourself in the world so that you can love and be loved, self-rejection is not going to get you there.”

“There’s no way one word or phrase could define you. Except, of course, “made of stardust”, which is a label we all deserve to embrace.”

“Your emotions aren’t curses to avoid. They aren’t bombs you can drop. They won’t kill anyone. A feeling expressed calmly and without attack is SIMPLY A FEELING.”

“Many people use anxiety as a blanket emotion for all of the things they can’t, won’t, or don’t know how to feel.”

“I think this is part of the reason, or the reason, I am so bad at telling anyone, even friends, how I feel, because for so long my feelings were muzzled and rebuked. In time I learned to stop telling anyone how I felt. Including myself.”

“I don’t think you are anxious. I think you’re furious.”

I feel you sister, same insight here a couple of years ago 🫣

“The way I deal with anxiety is I don’t.”

“When we find ourselves in distress, there are still other emotions and sensations available to us.”
