Thank you, Pavini! This resonates. I'm wondering if there's different subsets of Fuck It (?) Or like Tarot cards, there's right side up and reversed? I resonate with the positive aspects of Fuck It, like standing up to authority and trusting your own.

Such a great inquiry! I feel it. Since we don’t love binaries, I would say yes of course there is more than one kind of fuck it. And I fall into the ‘What are the costs, what are the be will?’ thinking. What about you?

Agreed! Even though right side up and reversed in the Tarot appears like a binary, there are so many shades of meaning in each. Just like Fuck It!

I'm just now coming out of a years long Fuck It cycle. It took a health crisis to help me snap out of it. This is not the first time this has happened, and one thing I'm starting to recognize now is the relationship between rigid control and collapsing into Fuck It. It seems like it's a wave that I have to ride occasionally in this lifetime. This time, one of the things I am noticing is how much I need to surrender to myself-not to the need to control, not to the desire to say fuck it, but to the constant presence of me on this wave that comes into my life sometimes. All of this is me; the wave, the riding, the collapsing, Fucking It, and floating around for a while. I am not separate from any of it. It helps me be kinder and stay in relationship with all the parts that are in distress about whatever aspect of the cycle activates them the most. And someone in there is always activated by something! Sometimes I feel like I have a whole preschool of little parts inside that need love and support, and there is no one else to care for them but me.

interesting, thanks! love this. I think developing a curiosity about aging well has been a very pleasant moderating influence for me lately as well. :) :) <3

I think that my Fuck It part is really invested in my sense of freedom. The more freedom I give myself, my Fuck It part doesn't come up as much. That being said, I still reassure it that I will take into account measured breaks in my routines or practices. I don't have to be strict all of the time. Even just giving myself the space to change up my scheduled practices is helpful. I am feeling so much spaciousness and freedom lately and my Fuck It part really feels like the underlying need for freedom is being met. Reassuring my Fuck It part with spaciousness and freedom is soothing for my whole system.
