#messytruth

My personal opinion is that I am wary of the perfection that’s presented on social media... (I’m not saying I am not guilty of wanting to look good in pictures, I’m human too. I’m not judging, I’m just commenting.) But when it comes to writing... it’s like maybe ten percent glamorous and cool and 90% messy, frustrating, stressful, joyful, aggravating, hopeful, hopeless, intimidating, delusions of grandeur, isolating, did I say frustrating already, because it is, so fun, and also lots and lots of work. Anyway, I thought I’d show what our dining room table looks like the day after a work deadline... (used to share a desk with my writer husband but that wasn’t working out so well... for him. MyTop Gun name is Entropy, which explains everything you need to know. #haha) • • • • #truth #notperfect #messy #writer #writersofinstagram #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #author #write #yaauthor #authorsofig #nerdygirl #tvwriter #screenwriter #thedayafter #writerscommunity #messytruth #creative #artist #entropy #writehardplayhard (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQ9J-nAkoi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ikold9mccha

Tautoko, @hepsfx. This week has been a conflicting one for me too. As a follower of Jesus I pledge ultimate allegiance Jesus, whose kindom is the antithesis of worldly kingdoms. (Well at least it should be. Unfortunately the reign of God has been co-opted by the death-dealing logic of earthy kingdoms with horrific results). This week I have wrestled with issues of church and state, the crown, the fact that a family is grieving, and the tragic history of the British Empire and the havoc it wreaked on indigenous peoples. In Hohepa's post about QE2 Heps did something vitally important. He moved beyond either/or and embraced the both/and (we need more of this). Heps recognised that QE2 was human, has family and friends who are grieving, and acknowledged that creating space for mourning is important. And he didn't shy away from drawing attention the history of violence associated with the British Monarchy and the British Empire and its heartbreaking impact on indigenous peoples. Embracing both/and is difficult and messy but if we are to move forward it's work we need to do. Shot, Heps! Love your mahi. ♥️🙏✌️#bothand #messytruth https://www.instagram.com/p/CihQvO-OaJW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning. Have the day you have, no pressure to make it great, no judgement if it's not. #messytruth #sleepyeyes

No filters, just my naked mug and sleepy eyes. Coffee in hand, ready to take this day down. #messytruth #redheadonamission

#messytruth smeared makeup and sleepy eyes... time to dream. #sleepsweet
