journal #2

I recognize that I feel guilty for being angry

I believe I shouldn't

I recognize that there are many dangerous ways to express anger

I will identify which ways of expressing anger are helpful and acceptable. (because I want to)

I recognize that what I may consider helpful can and have previously been influenced by my guilt over the anger

I will pause when angry and separate the guilt from the anger

and here's the part where I'm a bit lost. I am unsure whether I should ignore the excessive guilt. I wonder if there is a better way to deal with it. I desire to stop feeling guilty about my anger. I question whether I should spend some time contemplating how my anger has negatively affected myself and others.

“Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

― Jamie Anderson

I loved you in the purest forms, only for you to hurt me in the cruelest ways.

i have been reading through the diary I kept from ages 14-17 and realising how helpful it can be to keep a record of how you're feeling at different moments.

not only is it helpful to write down and process how your feeling and give yourself time to truly think about it, it's nice to have something to look back on. to not just remember how you felt about a certain situation but to actually have yourself from that time tell you.

and also, from an adhd perspective, it's really lovely to have reminders of things I'd almost entirely forgotten. it's easy to think that your life right now isn't interesting, but in 5 years time? to know what songs you were listening to or book you were reading or even that Thing that you were so worried about but now you can't even remember the details. it's nice to have a physical reminder that time passes and things really can get better.

Posting this in two parts because I’ve been super tired lately and need some more time. Also, I can’t decide whether to use the white background from my first comic or keep doing this grey one, so if you have an opinion please lmk!

inside of me there are 2 wolves. one wants so badly to worship like 12 different deities. the other just barely has the energy to devote to 1 😭
