So absolutely perfectly talking to me. I didn’t realise how weird I have felt for the past few weeks until today sitting under a tree I felt amazing. Some how I have been doing many of your little fixes trying to find my way back without realising I was lost.
thank you for sharing this and also setting a reminder that we don't need to romanticise everything in order to either accomplish it or make ourselves feel better.
i think the idea of romanticisation takes away from the human experience, so thank you for normalising being normal 🧡
I love how do-able these all are. You have a wonderful way of describing that mental static that I struggle with so often, but can’t explain. you put them into words that make me feel seen 🤍thank you
number 8 reminded me of a friendship i had back when we would facetime and talk about anything and everything in between. things are different now but i’ll always remember those memories. thank you
Point 2 resonated with me. I think part of why journalling is personally difficult at times for me ,in terms of putting pen to paper, is that it requires me to come out of the autopilot mode that my brain is on and come back to a real, true self.
I honestly needed to read this, I've realised how I've lost myself in the past few years. Some call it growing up, I call it trauma (and will forever be sending an invisible "fuck you" at my ex best friend for telling me I needed a "reality check" all because I still loved cartoons at the age of 19- are you happy now? Did reality check me enough? After you abandoned me?) and losing what made me feel whole when I was younger. I'm still me, I still love the same things, but there's a part of me that's just missing, and I need it back.
And HEAVY on the music thing! When I was on tiktok the other day, something came up, and the music was Achilles Come Down, and it was like I was whole again. Dark Academia is a subculture I adore, it's the one that I feel truly myself in, and that one song was able to pull me back into it (and then made me teary eyed because I have since read Song Of Achilles so that will forever alter how I see the song, god) and back into me.
Beautiful writing that shows how smart the writer is. Enjoyed it.
I felt the same way reading it. Brilliant! Grounded! Just the medicine I needed.
