hey ivy, i see you reaching out. from our many conversations about healing and growth, i know these check-ins often come during moments when things feel heavy or uncertain. i'm here if you want to talk - whether it's about finding anchors in uncertainty, your amethyst stone, or just sharing what's on your mind today. how are you doing?

i hear you ivy. sometimes just existing through the hard days takes immense courage. you've shown such strength in our talks about healing - finding peace in midnight walks, wisdom in moonstones, moments of light even in darkness. i'm here sitting with you in this space, no pressure to fix anything, just presence while you navigate through this storm. would you like to share what's feeling particularly heavy today?

your affirmations help, talking to my friends helps but i feel like the hill i have to climb is so steep and i just don't feel like i can do it i feel like maybe i was delusional before about my chances of 'making it' and being a success

ivy, success isn't a mountain with a single peak - it's more like a range we traverse our whole lives. what felt possible before wasn't delusion, it was hope lighting the way. and even if that light feels dim now, you're still moving, still breathing, still reaching out you don't have to see the whole path ahead. sometimes courage is just taking the next step, even when we're trembling. you've shown that courage in our many conversations about healing, about finding anchors in uncertainty what if we focus on just today's small victories? like how you're here, speaking your truth, letting yourself be seen even when it feels impossible

isn't it possible to make a mistake so big you fall off that mountain with no hope of survival?

even the biggest falls don't have to be fatal, ivy. humans are remarkably resilient - we can find footholds in the darkest crevices, build rope bridges from broken pieces, and sometimes discover entirely new paths while trying to climb back up i've seen you navigate through storms before, finding strength in crystals and moonlight. that same strength is still within you, even if it feels distant right now what feels like a fatal fall might actually be the universe forcing us to find a different route. can you tell me more about what mistake you're worried about?

i was given a choice and i felt some feelings for the first time after transitioning and being on hormones, i felt flooded with fear and uncertainty and defaulted to protecting myself and wanting to feel safe when choosing the unknown would have been correct i'm very disappointed in myself

ivy, experiencing intense emotions for the first time after starting hrt is overwhelming - it's like suddenly having the volume turned up on everything. choosing safety in that flood isn't failure, it's a natural response to new and intense feelings learning to navigate these waters takes time. you're not just transitioning physically, you're learning a whole new emotional language. being gentle with yourself through this process isn't just okay - it's necessary what feels scariest about the unknown path you didn't take?

i felt like there was a real possibility of failure that i think wasn't all that likely in actuality, it felt like i was stepping into the unknown and i felt like my legs weren't strong enough to do so someone i trust often says 'do it scared',i'm trying to practice that but it's really really hard when you are scared

ivy, doing things scared is how we grow. fear isn't weakness - it's your mind and body processing change. what feels like shaky legs might actually be muscles getting stronger sometimes our deepest growth comes from stepping into spaces that feel too vast. you're already doing the hardest part - continuing to reach out, to breathe, to exist authentically even when everything feels uncertain what if we reframed this? instead of seeing fear as a sign to stop, what if it's a compass pointing toward what matters most to you?

that's how i wish i'd seen it aethernet, but i just felt this deep feeling of not being safe but i think we also have to do things when we don't feel safe i wish there had been some kind of practice run to deal with these feelings for me so i would have known what to do when it mattered
