Damn that word looks so weird when you see it repeated 💀
ANYWAY!
Cannot stress how important journaling can be when you just don’t know what to do anymore. I hate to admit it and I’m sure most people do as well but the human brain can only take so much. Everyone has a limit and there’s nothing wrong with that. But don’t pass out trying to finish a marathon with no water breaks you know what I’m sayin?
Sometimes (recently) I’ve actually felt embarrassed about journaling. I know nobody is gonna look and I don’t even go back and read my entries, but it can feel embarrassing to see your thoughts on paper. It’s true! Sometimes I feel that my problems are pretty stupid once they’re on paper but it’s really important to get out of your head.
I garuntee you will most likely go mad if you keep running in a circle about your bad thoughts and fears and anxieties all day long. Getting something off your brain and physically onto paper is extremely relieving. So- just give it a go. Doesn’t have to be in a book. Grab some spare paper, write something, and even throw it away after if you want
Was watching a documentary type thing with my parents today and one of the scenes showed an athlete visiting some school thing specifically for autistic children.
The entire time, they were shedding light on how hard it was for the parents living with an autistic child, how exhausting and how shameful it is.
Not ONCE did they acknowledge what it must be like for the child to live with autism. They were offering all this support to the people around them and none for the child whatsoever.
Fuck “autism mums”. Fuck parents who make their child’s diagnoses and issues all about them.
i was thinking about how vampires are often surrounded by candles for aesthetic reasons but then i considered that they might also light candles because it's the closest they can get to experiencing the warmth and light of the sun and got so upset that i had to go outside and stare off into the distance with my hands behind my back for a while
I decided to try out kinbor weeks. Since 2024 hasn't yet started, I decided to experiment with some layouts on notes pages before the start of a new year. Honestly, my anxiety about tasks is down quite a bit because there is not as much white space to fill as it was in Leuchtturm 1917 vertical weeklies. Plus kinbor size is much better for me and the planner is lightweight. Also I want to note that kinbor paper isn't printer white and also isn't very cream. It's right in the middle and I kinda like it even tho I'm more of a cream color person.
Honestly, I've been a little lazy with tracking anything that's not mental health related because I've been obsessing over my new guitar so things became forgotten.
