Oh hi there,
My skin has been painfully dry.
My head has been pounding.
I’ve been *spiralling* for most of my little spring break from work.
Not an ideal situation, as you can imagine.
I feel mentally torn in all directions, and my anxiety has been snowballing.
It’s been frustrating. I knew healing wouldn’t be linear. I knew it would take me time to feel okay, to feel stable and safe and good. I knew no external factor could fix me if I didn’t do the work inside.
So while I attempt to get a better grip on my mental health, I want to leave you with some gems from…tumblr.com. You read that right. I still proudly use tumblr.!!! I dealt with my 16 year old sadness with the beautiful folk on tumblr.com, I will absolutely deal with my 23 year old sadness the same way. Have you SEEN the unintentionally brilliant prose/quotes on that site?? It goes so hard for no reason.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C is a good example of genuinely good poetry that I’ve read on the site. These people love reading and writing, y’all.
Exhibit D led me to do a deep dive in cave drawings and language origins in the middle of an anxiety attack:
And to wrap it all up:
This image is literally THE image in my mood board for This Too Is Sacred.
Thank you for being here, as always.
Take care folks, I’ll be right back.
