“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

Maya Angelou

I have felt very fragile and less sure of myself after a fall yesterday. I am dealing with some health anxiety because if it and that fills me with fear. I have all the strategies to rationalise and bring this back under control and calm my mind while my bruises and aches heal.

I am incredibly resilient and self’reliant. That doesn’t stop me from craving being held and knowing the value of that living intimacy and the way it would lift me up.

I took this image with the intention of showing my fragility and my need to be held. That is how I feel. And yet, look at the image. I see my strength and resilience even as this time.

  1. Sorry to hear about your fall. I had a nasty fall a couple of years ago, and I also found that it really shook me mentally on top of the physical injuries. Your confidence will come back, it will just take some time. 💕 Take care, and I wish you a speedy recovery x

  2. There is definitely strength and resilience is this image and in you, even in your fragility at the moment. We all crave that safe pair of arms around us sometimes but you are a fabulous, strong woman and I am sure you will take care of yourself as well as anyone else could x

  3. I’m sorry you’re feeling fragile. There is strength in admitting that you feel weak and uncomfortable, and you’re correct, your image does show a strong person, taking comfort in their own strength.
