... Read moreIt's truly powerful how a spoken poem can capture the raw, often overwhelming, emotions we experience on a healing journey. I really connected with the line about "Day 2 of healing" – it often feels like those early stages are the hardest, doesn't it? When you're just starting to confront what needs to be let go, and it feels like an uphill battle. The feeling of being "insufferable" is something so many of us can relate to. It’s that internal turmoil, where every passing emotion seems to hit you like a wave, threatening to capsize your whole day. You know that intense feeling when your insides latch onto everything, making small bumps in the road feel like a roller coaster turning upside down? It’s completely normal to feel that way. Sometimes, the intensity is so much that you just want to "cry or scream," and often, it feels like doing both at once is the only option. This poem beautifully articulates that struggle, especially when you question if you even want to keep healing because it just feels so painful. It's like healing itself is ruining moments you swore would be smooth and good. But what if those intense emotions, those feelings of wanting to "scream" or break down, are actually signals? What if they're "emotions begging to climb out of you," a sign that your body and mind are finally ready to process and "release it"? Learning to "let go" is undeniably one of the toughest parts of any healing process. It's not a one-time event but a continuous practice. It means acknowledging the pain, sitting with discomfort, and slowly, gently, detaching from what no longer serves you. For me, I've found that journaling, talking to a trusted friend or therapist, or even just allowing myself a good, long "scream" into a pillow can be incredibly cathartic. It’s about creating safe spaces for those big feelings. In those "insufferable moments" when you feel overwhelmed, remember the poem's message: you can still "see bits and pieces of hope." Hope isn't always a grand, shining beacon; sometimes, it's just a tiny flicker. It's the realization that you're still standing, still feeling, and still capable of moving forward. It’s the strength you find when you allow yourself to cry, to process, and ultimately, to "release it." What helps me most on days when I "feel insufferable" is remembering that these intense feelings are temporary. They are visitors, not permanent residents. Practicing mindfulness, even for a few minutes, can sometimes help ground me. Deep breathing exercises, listening to calming music, or even just stepping outside for a moment can make a difference. And sometimes, it's just about giving yourself permission to not be okay, knowing that it's a vital part of the journey towards feeling better. The act of truly "allowing yourself to release it" is a sign of immense courage and self-compassion. Keep going, one "Day 2 of healing" at a time. It gets easier to see the hope, even amidst the storms.

It displays illustrations of Hoodoo-related items such as bath salts, oils, "Paket Kongo" objects, and a cassette tape, along with prices and promotional text like "Come See Me Your Spiritual Supplies."
A Spoken Practice
Hoodoo is very much a spoken practice so if you did not grow up in a practicing household it can be quite challenging to learn on your own. But AJ (my name), there are plenty of books out here on Hoodoo. Sure there are, there are also plenty of translations of the Bible and fiction novels as well.

The image displays the beginning of a diary entry dated November 15, 2024, at 11:47 PM. The text describes feelings of being in a dark place, questioning isolation, acknowledging a higher being, and expressing fear of oneself.
The image shows a continuation of the diary entry, where the author questions their own potential and spark, expresses fear of taking risks, and reflects on how others perceive them as passionate and strong, while admitting their emotions scare them.
The image presents another section of the diary entry, discussing common criticisms like 'You're too much,' the conflict between faith and personal desires, acknowledging hypocrisy, and the struggles with depression and anxiety.
