This was absolutely breathtaking in so many ways. The vivid pain, the relentless optimism. I thought most of this was quoted from several poets but it is 99% you! I just don't have the words to truly express my feelings but I will be back for more ( I need to take myself to bed). I am so happy I found you in a link of Kristi Keller's.
Thank you for being brave and letting love in! This was pure PAIN to read at the beginning and at this moment, having read the whole thing, I'm blessed to be connected to you, Teyani!
I'm so sorry for your suffering and ADMIRE how positively you right about it. This essay inspired me to rewire a few of my own beliefs. Like not giving heat to questions I will never have answers to. I am sending my love and prayers to you 💖🧿
I had to wait until the tears passed before I could comment on this painful and lovely essay Teyani.
Lesser souls have folded under much less.
Your attitude is remarkable and I honor your powerful words and spirit. I’m so grateful to have made your acquaintance here on Substack. You move me. ❤️
Thank you for your sweet understanding Kristin. This condition simply does not seem to go away. I’ve been cautioned by my amazing MDs (here in Seattle, in San Francisco and in Los Angeles) that it’s probable I will live with this and need to respond to it for the remainder of my life.
I continue to learn. And am grateful for that.
Thank you for the loving words .. don’t put me on a pedestal tho. I’m still very much a learner who studies every single day.

Thank you Dee. Your compassion is healing to me. And I too am glad to have met you here.
This quote from Ram Dass has been resounding in my mind all day due to kindness such as yours. “We’re all walking each other home”
Love that. Yes ❤️
