It’s a helluva thing to lick your wounds and count your blessings at the same time.
Cuts sting worse for a moment when you clean them, after all— but thank whoever-you-fucking-thank that you have this chance to fucking clean them at all.
Ashtanga Yoga specifically asks you to table your “woe-is-me” narrative and sobermindedly go about the work of suffering less.
As @gratefulweirdo ‘s Bubbie told her, “if you push it down from the top, it’ll come out the sides”— and the practice of yoga asks you to put your sorryies in a sack and deal with your shit.
We don’t cut off whole parts of ourself in yoga— we don’t shy away. No, we hold space for pain so that we can heal ourselves from the inside.
The process starts with noticing and befriending the ignored and blocked— and one of the things i love most about Ashtanga Yoga is that it allows you to do so from so, so, so many starting points— which is great, cause folks are coming *from* so many different starting points. So many wounds.
But it all unfurls and unfolds from just right where you are.
For me, it has been a process of learning to love my body. My tummy. My voice.
Like Mama @rupaulofficial says, “if you can’t love yourself, how the hell ya gonna love somebody else?”
Listen, real talk: that process takes just as long as it takes. But, like I said, it starts right where you are.

Let's go right away, go somewhere today
Let's be together and stay and stay.
Let's go together today, right away.
Let's be together today!
Together's the way I like the best.
I like to be with you.
I like the things you explain to me-
The things you show me to do.
Let's go right away, go somewhere today
Let's be together and stay and stay.
Let's go together today.
Right away, let's be together today.
Some days it's good to play alone
But sometimes I get bored.
There's just so much you can do yourself
With a ball or a doll or a sword.
But whenever I hear you've got some time
And want me to be with you,
I wonder how you knew
'Cause that's what I wanted, too!
