@rebecca947 Hello and good morning!
I am actually in a decent mood, although it is early yet so... But the sun is shining
The word journey for me brings to mind a quest. I am on a quest to find, me. To find understanding and compassion for myself. I need to find trust for others, even if it's just a little. I'd like to live, not just exist. To be able to express what I feel without having to cause damage to myself.
My childhood made me who I am. I don't like that person. My childhood taught me not to trust anyone or depend on them. It taught me that my feelings and emotions are invalid and do not count. It taught me that it is best to keep things to yourself. Now that I'm older, I know I need to change that. I feel bad for the kid I was. No one should have to grow up that way. I get angry at the adult I am.
Heya @rebecca947 ! How are you?
I'm doing alright. Life is really boring right now. I guess it's not a bad thing, but I'd like something fun to happen, y'know, any sign that I'm still alive and feeling things. Not in like a "I'm so numb" kind of way, but anything to get out of this loop of classes and work. I get it, classes have started back up and there's stuff to do, but it really feels like it's not going to end, even though I know it is. Idk, I'm just in a really weird place right now and I don't know what I'm doing.
When I think of the word journey, I think of this year and how I'm aiming to take some small steps towards a full recovery. I don't expect to heal right away or even very quickly, but any progress is good progress. I've thought of some healthier coping mechanisms to try out this year like going to the gym at least once a week and drawing landscapes or intricate patterns on my body (to encourage me not to ruin the art with my bad habits). I think this could really work!
Something from my childhood that I still like now would probably to be Spongebob Squarepants. Sure, there are times when I find him annoying and all that, but most of the time the show makes me smile. It's just some lighthearted, innocent fun, a break from the dark and heavy stuff I deal with daily.
Anyways, that's all from me for now. Take care! :)
