It really sucks I have to post this, but my dog Zaza was stolen today around 5pm near 116th and 3rd Avenue. If anyone in the East Harlem area sees her or somebody who has her please message me 🥺💛

Therapy this morning was about shifting my perspective on vulnerability. Trying not to view it as something that I have to actively give (which often feels like heavy emotional labor) but rather a natural human exchange that flows when I feel safe for it to occur.
