This thread is very worth reading (thanks cypheroftyr for surfacing) and really illustrates the problem of people thinking that the work of “inclusion” should be (even can be!) comfortable. It’s not. It can’t be comfortable. djed_press/993067176666910720
-
As a cis able bodied white woman I can tell you that a lot of conversations around trans or race or disability are not comfortable for me. But sitting with that discomfort and understanding it is part of the work.

In these moments you can feel however you feel as long as you recognize that it’s not on people who are already marginalized to make you feel better. It’s on you. If you must take those feels somewhere take them to your therapist. Or another privileged friend.

I have long wondered what it is that would cause me to have a nervous breakdown and finally I can tell you: it's buying a house by myself.
-
Fast forward some time from now. Everything is grey because I couldn't choose any colors. My living room consists of a grey exercise ball and a £7K sculpture I bought one night during the period in which I took up drinking. At night I sleep on a pile of blankets on a grey floor.
-
Everything else I own is in a box. The gym has become my coworking space and also the shower because otherwise I have to tip lukewarm buckets of water over my head. I buy buckets of ice and exist on a diet of protein shakes and Starbucks tea.
-
I ordered some grey furniture, but I have ceased to believe it will ever arrive. At night I cry myself to sleep, saying WHY past Cate? WHY?!

Clearly, it’s a very small tiger-monkey hybrid. chelsesaurusrex/995127939585851392
-
I was in a pretty dark place through most of Q1 but I have started to feel genuinely happy the past few weeks or so. This has been pretty hard won, so I want to share a bit about what’s changed...
-
The biggest thing is definitely health!! I got super sick August last year and it took a long time (and a second round of antibiotics at the end of December) to truly feel better.
-
And then of course I had an accident that left me physically incapacitated. I’m still not 100% and there are some things I can’t do. But I have a normal (for me) level of physical activity again and it’s _great_.
-
The second change is around not thinking purely short/long term but accepting the lengths of time I can contemplate. E.g. Cork as a place I expect to spend at least the next year. This frees myself from the dichotomy of nomadism and the idea of a “forever place”.
-
The third thing is embracing independence (not just in travel but in life). Buying a townhouse alone has been pretty brutal, but it’s also a thing to be proud of! And I’m excited to have everything as I want it.
-
The fourth thing is confidence. One of the insidious things about “prove it again” is internalizing it and demanding that you “prove it again” to yourself, too - whilst being your own harshest judge.
-
I’m owning what I’ve accomplished and creating space for myself to grow and not judging past Cates too harshly for their mistakes. Seeing change and _getting credit_ for that change helped a lot. But _I_ had to believe it too.
-
The fifth thing is setting boundaries - which I feel comes from that confidence. I am willing to say “yes, and this is what I need”, to shut the laptop because I _want_ to do something else - rather than I can’t do any more.
-
This also involves setting boundaries around the feelings I will allow other people to put on me. Wanting to help and support people doesn’t commit you to enabling or “fixing” them. Which we all know can’t be done anyway 🙃
-
Most of this has been my work, but embracing people who love and respect me and saying okay-fuck-you to the people for whom I will never be enough (or always be too much) helps me do it.
-
Someone reminded me recently how I committed to this work at the start of the year with #2018liberations. If you liberated yourself too, I’d love to know how that’s going? catehstn/947755807902502912
-
Being happy is not something that we work to “deserve” but there can be work we have to do to open ourselves up to it. It doesn’t help to judge our own path to getting there anymore than it helps to judge the people around us.

Anyway! Those are my thoughts for the day from the gym early on a Sunday morning. Have a good one! Much love 💞💋

Buying a house has turned me into someone who when asked how I am talks about what color I am going to paint things. Ngl I hate myself a bit right now.
-
But this is who I am now so I'll just tell you that today I ordered €7K worth of Domestic Appliances (this made me feel physically sick), a sofa, and picked out floors. The last stop was to fulfill one of my two Domestic Goals: I bought a hanging egg chair 😍
-
The only thing remaining in structural stuff is... Paint 🎨
-
Well the other thing I have to decide is if I want to commit to laminate flooring upstairs too given that it costs ~€1.4K to do the stairs in it and... I can't believe this is a major decision that I have to make. Who even am I right now?!
-
My fear if I don't do it is that I will regret it every time I go up or down the stairs, forever 😱

webwright @raludwick You can’t imagine mocking me? Or mocking a domestic dream of mine? Or me having a domestic dream? All of the above have happened and not even at the same time. But also 💞 that level of Domestication sounds exhausting 😱

webwright @raludwick I mean I only had two domestic dreams... the hanging egg chair was one of them (you thought I was talking about a hammock thing) and the other is the bathroom of my dreams.

The thing that makes me most depressed about our inability to progress on inclusion is how much of inclusion is just being a decent person and making (relatively small) efforts towards fairness.
-
We have some heroes of inclusion who pushed great progress at great personal cost but seriously the progress that could be made if we all just showed up to work each day and treated our colleagues (and potential colleagues) with kindness and respect? Would be immense.
-
Managers and HR would need to model and encourage and - ultimately - enforce this though. Fellow managers: this is hard but also your fucking job. Get what you need together in order to do it. I believe in your capacity. HR, not gonna lie, I’ve given up on y’all helping here.

So much physio and acupuncture and rehab exercises and if falling down some stairs is what makes a difference... I can’t even. BUT ALSO! So happy! I have been super sad because I thought I was going to need surgery 😭
