With so much going on, I haven't had the "spoons" to blog, and I just wanted to check in with everyone. I hope you have found your own parasocial support network to hold space for you during this busy season. I hope you are able to find some peace, joy, and laughter this summer. (If you need something to laugh out loud about, I would recommend "The Goes Wrong Show" free on Tubi.) I am not sure when I will next blog, but I hope you have a wonderful summer and are able to relax and rejuvenate yourself ahead of the upcoming fall.
It’s the last day of July
Take a deep breath, breathe
I have so much I need to do
It will be ok, you will get through
I am feeling overwhelmed
I am feeling overstimulated
I am feeling it is all too much
“Gentle, Gentle, Slow, Slow
Thoughtful, Thoughtful, Flow, Flow”*
Hold space for me
Hold space for me
Hold space for me
My parasocial network
We who are your parasocial network
Are always holding space for you
We will always be here for you
“Gentle, Gentle”, Breathe
Even when I’m overwhelmed?
Even when I’m overstimulated?
Even when it’s all too much?
Yes, we will always be here for you
We are only a thought away providing
Space held with kindness and hugs
A listening ear, “Gentle, Gentle”, Breathe
“Gentle, Gentle”
My parasocial network
Holding space for me indeed.
*A statement that Wentworth Miller (who is part of my personal parasocial support network) once posted on social media years ago which has become my own mantra.
