  • gaslit.

    did I make it up in my head?
    this reality I held?
    I think: what the…
    what the…?
    –these things that make me doubt myself
    –these things that make me lose my faith
    –these things that make me lose
    am I becoming harder than I once was?
    will I start asking for proof?
    “let’s get together sometime…”
    “WHEN?” I’ll say.
    how far does doubt go?
    when I put one foot in front of the other
    will I end up where I think I’m going?
    what if I take a step and float right up to the moon?
    what if gravity stops working today… what then?
    do I start carrying weights in my pockets just in case?
    if the sun doesn’t come up tomorrow
    I’m sleeping in.

  • so, are you sleeping in or not? the sun is up here, unfortunately.

    ryc: we went to a “birthing from within” workshop last weekend. missy has the book, too. and we’ve visited anna mae gaskin’s website. (“the farm,” where she became a midwife, is located a few miles from where i grew up, so she’s almost a household name in this area.)

  • birthing within leaves me speechless. He threw my mojo out of whack.

  • I can relate…
    Hope things are okay…

  • Hope your angst goes away quickly. Being gaslit is something I hate more than just about anything. Awful.

    Sorry about if there’s any yash angst, I hope it’s not adding to your sadness.

  • Hello, dearest crazy slut girl, remember me?  Been what, two years?

  • Ummmm, sleeping in. What a lovely idea. I wonder what it means?

  • maaaan, let me tell you, I could teach a class on that.
