I personally have this really, really strong dissonance that I carry, where I consider embodiment (that is, existing physically) vital and important and necessary to the human experience and spiritually important, but also embodiment is endlessly frustrating and infuriating and I would like to just Not Have To, so much of the time, because the work of loving my body in the verb-sense of doing things to care for it is so frequently exhausting.
Yes, this, very much so.
For me that feeling tends to be entwined with complementary exhaustion with being female-presenting & having a female body - I like being a women, but I get so damn tired of how much more work it is to be a woman in the world sometimes. Disincarnate is the closest I've gotten to getting the knot of that across, but I'm still trying to assemble words more concise and apt and intimate to settle it as said, at least for myself.
