W77: slow-cooker lasagna, to-do lists & prompts

Click through for what I made this week and writing prompts!

Hi, I’m Lucy and this week, I made:

• lasagna in a slow cooker

• myself simplify my to do list and entirely remove things just that aren’t meaningful to me so I stop being so goddam overwhelmed

• writing prompts ♥ enclosed

The controversial thing
about setting boundaries
with family as someone
from a collectivist culture
growing up in an individualistic culture

I mourn that to this day,
there is still so much catching up to do
to destigmatize this understanding enough

I’ve lived in gray
avoiding the extremes
but avoiding all joy,
simply surviving these moments
step by step.

This familiar slogan from a dystopian book
was first introduced to us as absurdity,
as our teacher asked what we thought
these opposites juxtaposed held in meaning.

As a child,
I wondered
if we could
unravel spaghetti

When advocates fall silent,
(no, when advocates are SILENCED)
I need you to listen
harder than ever before.

That’s the difference.

Holding space for feedback.

Humility.

Until next week,
