mindfulness is hard for me.
daughter of immigrants from
southern italy.
i was raised to not feel
or think
just do as i was told.
so at almost 50
i learned that when i felt like
i couldn’t breathe
that was anxiety
or when i slept for
10 hours
that was depression.
at almost 50
i learned that a drink
was not necessary to feel better
that a healthy beautiful man
could love me
that hours of sleep just because
it feels so good to sleep
just because i want too.
after a long work week.
