I sometimes struggle with emotional dysregulation. It is mostly a result of an unfortunate past and still a relatively uncertain future colliding together as mountains of thoughts. While I am mostly at peace with my past and feel grateful to have escaped severe school traumas of the likes others have experienced, thanks to some selfless decisions my parents took over the years regarding my school placements, I do have some unhealed wounds that get triggered sometimes. And while future possibilities are exciting, thanks to the communication opportunities that spelling has opened up, dwelling on some of the uncertainties can be crippling.
I find a lot of solace in expressing myself through poetry. Music and nature also help me stay in the present. Most of my tribe would have worked out their own methods of reconciling this. Some are more forgiving than others. This is not easy and needs loads of resilience which this tribe has in plenty.
