'Coming Out' of the (Multiple Chronic Illness) Closet : My 'Ensemble Cast' of Conditions 🏃🏽♀️💨🚪
I don't define myself *solely* by my invisible #chronicillness/#disability (I'm much more) but it's a huge part of my life..

Zero ads, & its #community-vibe is palpable, down-to-earth, & reminds me of IG's early days, before it became 'Big Social'
*Please* join, I'd love to stay in touch!

10+yr here but time for #TwitterMigration. My flexible-yet-fierce conscience won't let me stay places that aid suffering.
& I'm so sensitive my body physically registers shifts in 'vibes', meaning I'd hurt too.
Love to you all 💕

#ALTtext : Colour illustration of unfolded map in greens & pale-blue. Land shown is not one of specific geographic locations but of a potential inner-landscape. Above & below the map is text in all-caps serif 'YOU ARE NOT LOST' & hand-drawn signature 'M' for Maitreya (that's me!)
#Travelling? Please *don't just enter a house or apt w/out knocking*.
In rural, #tourist-focused #Ireland? It's happened to me here more than 5x, apology highly-delayed.
Living in cities around the 🌍 (NYC, Dublin, Limerick, &c)? Not 1x.

It's said online #friends = shallow. But I disagree. The depth of #connection often depends on who's on either side of the 'line' ☎📞📱💻〰➰〰💻📱📞☎
From around the globe came this INCREDIBLE real-life #letter ~ @coffea_masae your #friendship means THE WORLD 💌💗💕🙇🏽♀️🙏🏽🌍🌏

The Political is the Personal, too
Your vote = your life & others' lives

IS IT FRIDAY YET?
You know it's *that* type of week when it's 10am Monday morning & you already want champagne 🙃🙄🤪
#MidtermElections #Elections #TheWorldIsWatching
☕ #HAPPINESS (zoom in to cup! 😉🔎) on Oct's day-trip
1 of my fave things is an outdoor #café-table (in any weather) & a cuppa
Sun = pure bonus! 🌧🙏🏽🙌🏽🌞☺

#ALTtext : Colour photo of 1/4 of sunlit black-glass round outdoor café-table with reflective surface. On table is black coffee in small cup, like triple-espresso size with handle. Cup has text 'HAPPINESS' & cup illustration. Long contrasted shadows but mood is cheery, uplifted.

🧭 TRUE NORTH 🙌🏽
Our inner voice of #wisdom, our #intuition, *when given #trust & self-#respect*, acts as a well-tuned compass
Get quiet & listen to that voice ~ 'True North' is always there

ALT A square illustration. On an off-white background is a compass, drawn in grey & brown. The arrow is pointing NW. Divided in two parts, at the top & bottom of the compass, is the text 'FIND YOUR TRUE NORTH'.
🌌 Sometimes I need to stay up late at #night just to feel the #peace. Not loneliness, solitude. 🕊
I feel the spaciousness created when humans nearby are asleep, have slowed their errant minds to rest..
& I can think again. Or, simply not-think at all. 💫🌠🙏🏽🌑

ALT A square digital illustration. Pictured is a countryside landscape at night. On a background of all blue are dark-green mountains, a small brown house with one window lit-up in yellow, & a starry night sky above.
@coffea_masae I wonder if this film is available with Japanese subtitles.. You might like it! Very 'feel good'!! Also, good costumes (Audrey Hepburn's clothing was made by French clothing-designer Givenchy), & lots of art. I've watched the movie & loved it since I was a child.
#ALTtext : Colour photo of a laptop open with a film paused on opening credits. The film is 'How To Steal A Million' with Audrey Hepburn & Peter O'Toole. Also pictured is a white ceramic bowl with popcorn which Maitreya's left hand is reaching for, & a cafe-glass of black coffee.
