Today I turn 31
I spent the night
With a tight neck and a headache
A recent boundary setting with a close friend
Causing a frenzy in my nervous system
I made a delicious breakfast
Fending off the pain
I meditated with a wonderful friend
And said hi to her delicious baby at the end of the call
The pain eased
I had lunch with my mother
It was nice until
She said something that was too much
Drove a bit crazy and talked about her trauma
The pain returned
After she left I lay in bed
Tormented by the pain now spreading from my right toes to my gums
I did a meditation ceremony to reown my healing energy for me
And did some yoga
The pain subsided almost completely
I caulked my tub and audio messaged with a friend
I had an ******
The pain now a whisper
I’m dressing to go watch Freaky Friday 2 with a close friend of mine
And share a dinner and many laughs I’m sure
I’ll wear my pants that were once too long but have shrunk in the wash to just my height
The pain easing even more as a I contemplate my perfect pants
I think 31 might be the best age I’ve ever been
It feels right the way that 27 felt right
I look at the art I’ve made
I listen to my latest song
I am bursting with pride to be me
