Emotional Sunk Costs
Some of you might be familiar with the concept of sunk costs in the context of economics or business. What it means is that once some investments are made and you can’t get them back these costs shouldn’t affect your decisions anymore. In practice this means, just because you already invested 100 000 € in a failing company that doesn’t justify investing more and more money in it. It’s rational to decide if it makes sense to invest in the company independently if you invested in it before or not.

I’m a plane riddled with bullets, and so are most survivors
***Trigger warning: I talk about abuse and trauma in this blog.*** There’s a type of rage only people who’ve been abused understand. It’s both dissociative and full of ancestral fury; silent but always present. Sometimes it lays dormant like winter in our veins, and sometimes it rips through us like a match struck against our scars.

Grief
My husband is dead. I say that as much for myself as I say it for you, dear reader. I still have to remind myself. It’s been very nearly a month. Both the longest and shortest month of my life. Time no longer seems linear—I just float around inside the days and bump from one moment to the next.

Strength
Sometimes strength isn't a lion's roar, we aren't transported on the battle cries of an army fueled by rage. It isn't in one single heroic act that changes the direction of fate. These instances can transport you far in change, becoming, growing, unravelling. But sometimes strength isn't that. Most times strength is quiet, and broken. It is in the moments where you feel as though you have given all you can, and the relentlessness of living asks for more. It is the broken, bruised moments where you are astonished you are still standing, when you feel like you can't possibly handle one more thing.. .and then one more thing happens. It's in the tiny voice that whispers "keep going", "don't stop", "one more step", "one more moment". Just survive one more moment. It is taking my shattered heart and haphazardly cobbling it back together to offer to my kids, hoping they won't see the cracks.

writers and mental health
Its been a while since I've written something for here and that is a shame but it couldn't be helped. I have been dealing with stress and it was showing in the way that i feel about my writing. So i just basically gave up for a while until i could bring myself to even jot down stuff.

At Some Point, You Have To Own Your Shit
One common thing in life we share as human beings is the ability to be hurt. I don’t mean falling down and scraping our knees. I’m talking about being really, really hurt. Stuff that affects us negatively as adults.
