This is so heavy and it’s exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you Sienna for posting this, hell yeah
After getting into a relationship since being in recovery I can say that my tolerance level for bullshit, bad energy and discomfort with another has reduced drastically. I am working hard for my peace everyday and am not willing to hand it over to a human who can’t look at their own stuff.

I guess I’m not allowed to tattoo this in mirror writing on my ex’s forehead?
Petition to make this the official slogan of TS?
do you watch the show Community? if so, remember this episode?
Abed’s speech about grip:
*I have discovered the meaning of the giant hand.
A hand has two functions; to grip and to release. But without both of these powers it is useless. Like newborn infants we grab what comes near us. Hoping to control it, taste it, jam it into another child’s eye.
But the time we spend in control of our world is the time we spend letting go of others. Ideas, stories, pride, girls in soft sweaters, video games, buttered noodles… Grip one for too long and you lose so much that you’ve never held.
This giant hand was sent to all of us as an invitation to increase our mastery over the power to hold on.
And let go*
Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
RIP Pope Francis 1936 - 2025
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches…
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports…
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar…
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist…
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care…
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor…
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect…
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis
