Happy Pride Month, day 29, growing

[sonia]

29. I'm proud of trying to learn and grow and be a better person. My explorations with a word of the year are part of that, for 15 years now. I'm proud of slowly accreting habits that work for me, and continuing with them long-term. I'm also proud of checking occasionally if something still works for me, and stopping if it doesn't.

I'm proud of listening to my body about what does and doesn't work for me, rather than taking other people's word for it. I'm also proud of considering advice, and trying it on to see if it fits.

Wait, having words of the year for 15 years means I've had this dreamwidth account for that long too! I'm proud of that too, reaching out to you folks and being part of this community in an ongoing way with my writing and reading.

I just got back from reading you, circa 2011. Congrats on still learning things, still sharing them with us, your lucky readers.

Now I went back and read some too. Oof. "Lucky readers" makes me smile and I'm very glad it feels that way. I feel like I'm struggling with some of the same things still, but softer, a few more turns around the spiral since then.
