I'm so glad you sent us a missive from the mud and I'm SO STOKED about your novel. You know I think you're a shiny, shiny star, even if that shine is coming out of a cave right now.
Chelsea!! You’ve taken away my breath! Vivid, scrumptious words as per per. The trash ketamine experience, ughhhh (crushed for you about this - was so hopeful it would be some relief 😩). I cannot wait to read In Dreams. ✨ I will come visit you in the mud this summer, those green alien dudes better be cool - I swear 😤. Love you dear friend ❤️
Pouring everything out into a novel sounds like a better choice than the mossy bed. Writing can be your reasons beyond motherhood responsibilities to stick around. Hope you can make it to our next FBCW meeting. Take care <3
the ketamine/mushroom/auyahuasca healing pipline is such a wild thing to witness as a kid of hippies. I grimace a lot because the thought that this stuff is supposed to automatically grant us nirvana of some kind is so misleading and shitty. last mushroom trips I've had were DARK AF. I think there's heaps of information in what I saw but did it heal me? no, it gave me something to ponder.
If you ever want to do some divination/oracle stuff together I am here for it it's been helpful with having something/someone to talk to out there in the ether especially when it comes to all the ghosts and dead folks in my life. happy to share my coping mechanisms. lol. xo
Yessss exactly, it is a pipeline. I liked the idea of ketamine because there’s a lot of evidence that it can be helpful for PTSD, but I’ve since had my DNA checked and learned that I have a gene that makes me resistant to the positives (and basically warned me off of all psychedelics because of my ND wiring)… so I think it can be helpful, just not for me! And yes, let’s connect, I’d love to see you!
That's so interesting about ND and psychedelics. I've always had an aversion to anything that could affect my mind. I thought it was psychological but maybe it's instinct because I'm also ND.

Thank you my friend! Going to try posting more regularly!
It is so great to read your words again Chelsea, your writing is unique and hilarious. I can’t wait to read Dreams. So happy you are writing again.

Thank you Glenna! I will try. I just lost the plot over the summer and didn’t get my shit together to get back to the group!
Keep on
keepin on.
Purpose beyond motherhood? YES, DUH, I THINK SO, JEZUS CHRIST!
Thanks for the post, Chelsea. Please come back more often.
Ha. Maybe that was poorly worded. I meant purpose beyond responsibility. 💕
Ya, you'd BETTER take that back!!! 😅
Oof. I love you and appreciate your honesty about ketamine. I feared as much.
Chelsea, life has thrown you so much shit. Sending love. So glad you found creativity unblocked. Before kids, it was writing that kept me going.
It’s a real thing, isn’t it?
