Self Harm Recovery Daily Check-in : Sunday, September 6th, 2020
Why hello there beautiful beings ! <3
The week is coming to an end once again, I hope this one went well for you ! If not, I'm sending hugs your way and there's always next week to look forward to <3
So recently I've been re-reading the Harry Potter series for the millionth time (this series is literally my safe place) x) And I stumbled acrosse this quote on pinterest and thought it was pretty fitting for this week : 'Do the universe a favor, don't hide you magic'. Quite a comforting thought that we all have some kind of magic in us and everyone has their own domain in which they're an expert ! And even if you don't believe that you have any magic in you, maybe it's just taking some time to show itself, be patient, it'll come soon :)
Check-in questions :
1) How are you doing today ? Anything planned for the day ?
2) Do you have a series, universe, form of art that is a safe place for you ?
3) What's magical about you ?
4) If you could use magic, what would you do with it ?
Song recommendation of the day : Flesh and bone by Keaton Henson

@Slizzy564 hiya slizzy!! <3
1) How are you doing today ? Anything planned for the day ?
I've been doing alright I guess. Had a rough start this morning but managed to get myself up and start working on everything that I need to do today. I still have to do a lot of homework for school but I've gotten a lot of extracurricular stuff knocked out of the way already.
2) Do you have a series, universe, form of art that is a safe place for you ?
Ummm that's such an interesting question woah :o I think this form of art is a safe place for me. I would love to just disappear in it one day. 😭🥺
3) What's magical about you ?
I'd say my empathy for others and my wholesomeness sometimes is pretty magical :o
4) If you could use magic, what would you do with it ?
I would.. buy everyone healthcare from this pandemic :P or even better, just cancel the pandemic.
Also! I almost hit "add post" but I've been listening to this song that you recommended "Flesh and Bone" and it's so relaxing and mellow! :D Thank you for the recc and the check-in!
@TheAtticusFinch
Hey there :)
Good to hear that you're doing okay even though there was a rough start. Sounds like a busy day ahead ! Good luck with your school work and yay for all the extracurricular stuff you've already done ! Keep up the good work, you've got this :)
Oh I think you mentioned this artist in an other check-in if I remember correctly, I checked their art out then ! It really is beautiful, so peacful and warm !! I really like all the ones related to the night sky and star gazing :) Thanks for sharing :)
Hum those sure do make you magical :) Very good bit of magic to have there !
Ah yes that would be a good way to use magic ! Would make our lives so much easier :)
You're welcome for the recommendation, I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
@Slizzy564
Slizzy!!! :) :) :) (that's all... lol) Ok, Keaton Hensonn. My top 3 songs are You Don't Know How Lucky You Are, Polyhymnia, and How could I have known. Also, I guess people who like him listen to Daughter (Youth obv is their most famous). All on my "Sad Songs" playlist, which I have to not listen to too often........
1) How are you doing today ? Anything planned for the day?
Was working all day. It was mostly ok apart from something really serious I had to deal with that made me low-key anxious. I kept trying to do my job. The more intuitive of the people I was working for picked up on it though, but I think I masked it kind of ok... Dinner tonight with a friend's family. Even though I had a late lunch and don't feel like eating till Wednesday :)
2) Do you have a series, universe, form of art that is a safe place for you?
I mean, basically Over the Garden Wall and Gravity Falls!
3) What's magical about you?
I have something more powerful than magic :)
4) If you could use magic, what would you do with it?
I would try to help people get where they're meant to go.
@1morday
Haha hey there ! Feel free to put as many smileys as you want :) Oh I'll be checking out these songs as I haven't really had time to go through all of the artist's albums ! Hum like you I have a sad song playlist and even though it might not be good to listen to it too often, now and again it's nice to get the emotions out you know ?
I'm sorry to hear that you have something that you have to deal with and that it made you anxious at work. It must have been hard to mask those emotions to your coworkers and keep on working as if everything is fine. I hope you get to deal with it when you're in a better place. That dinner sounds nice ! I hope you get to eat some yummy stuff that'll help pick up your mood :) Also I get what you mean by not wanting to eat for several days after a big meal :)
I didn't know any of these so I just looked them up ! I'll think I'll try and check out Over the Garden Wall when I have a bit more time :) Why are these series a safe place for you ?
Aaaah a force more powerful than magic ? I'd love to hear about it :)
Hum some sort of guide then ? It'd be really interesting to follow people along their path and help them make the best decisions for themselves ! A very wise use of magic if I dare say so :)
Thanks for checking-in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
Over the Garden Wall and Gravity falls are just very comforting to me. You know how it is with a book, film, album, show you have seen and you know inside and out. If it is rich enough, you always get more from it. But you know the contours and so there is no real anxiety. I don't know. Over the Garden Wall is much richer I think, as far as being a real work of art. I love how Gravity Falls paces the plot. The whole first season feels like isolated episodes that are just amusing but kind of dumb. I nearly checked out and gave up. But suddenly by the end of the first season you realize you have been gathering information for a very directed plot... It is nicely controlled.
I feel the same way about Brideshead revisited and T. S. Eliot's Four Quartets. Old Friends that I am completely familiar with, but never get tired of. That is a comfort.
@1morday
There is something really soothing about watching/reading something that you know off by heart. And it's lovely when you get to notice little details and information that you haven't seen before even if you've watched it millions of times. I kinda get that in music, some songs that I've listened to some many times just still have more to give and I notice small instruments in the background or find a new meaning to the lyrics and so on. It's a good balance between finding something new and keeping things entertaining but also staying chill and relaxed. The best of both worlds really :)
@1morday
Quick update : I've checked out the songs, I do enjoy all of them though You don't know how luck you are is my favorite :) There's just something about the singer's voice that makes me travel off into imaginary worlds :)
@Slizzy564, hey there!
1) How are you doing today ? Anything planned for the day ?
This week, I'm planning to do my homeroom activities. I felt so relieved that only one task required a video, and the rest is more on reading articles and quizzes.
2) Do you have a series, universe, form of art that is a safe place for you ?
Yes. Any video games my mood likes, and an anime song called Haru wa yuku.
3) What's magical about you ?
To be honest, I still have no idea what's magical about me. As you said, that magic takes time to show. :)
4) If you could use magic, what would you do with it ?
What a tricky question. The first thing I'll do is to decide what magic I want to use and master it. In that case, I'll choose the Arc of Time from the anime called Fairy tail. It's a magic that can manipulate the time of non-living things. It's useful for household chores and carpentry. x)
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Hey hey :)
Sounds like a busy week ahead of you ! Did you have to record yourself ? Good luck with those articles and quizzes !!
Yay for the video games :) It's great when you can just jump into another universe and forget about everything in this one ! And I'll have to check that song out later ;)
Hum we'll have to be patient and wait for your magic to show itself ! Or maybe it's already there waiting for you to notice it :)
Ah of course all magic requires some time for practice in order to master it ;) Aaaah Arc of Time is a wise one ! I remember really liking it when I used to watch Fairy Tail. Indeed it could be super useful for everyday life !
Thanks for checking-in, take care <3
@Slizzy564, heya!
Yep. I have to take a video of myself answering a question for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
Yeah. Video games are amazing stress relievers too. So, what game do you play? :) I remembered that you like shooting games. Bang, bang! And thanks for planning to check the song that I put. :D
You're right. Maybe my magic is around me even though I haven't notice it. I hope I can notice it before it's too late.
Cool, you watch Fairy Tail before! That series has an ending already. And a manga sequel as well. The story is as light hearted as ever. :)
Thanks for reading. You're happy emojis are contagious. x) Take care!
@LovelyOrangeJuice
Oh boy that would stress me out ! Thank god there's only one to do :)
I haven't played in a while, I think the last game I played was the Attack on Titan game, not exactly bang bang more like slice slice ;)
So I've checked out the song, I like it ! Quite calming yet powerful at the same time :)
It's never too late to find your magic, trust me ;)
Yeah I've watched it and read the manga, though I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty disappointed with the ending x) But yeah as you say very light hearted !
Glad to hear that my emojis are contagious :)
I know this is a bit late but!
Today I have my exam results planned and coffee with my close friend after her school day! I'm getting my Leaving Cert results whoop whoop......in an hour and a half
My safe space is many things but ultimately the world of books. That massive universe made up of millions of different books and works, mostly fiction for me, is my safe place 😊 sorry if that makes no sense, I'm very tired at the moment.
What's magical about me? Jeez. Er. I can do 52 cartwheels in a row. Not even a joke, I tested out how many I could do and got to 52 before falling over. I also try to see the best in people.
Oml I would do so many things. So, if I had magic, it would be logical that I'd use it every day for small things maybe, but also I'd probably open like, a school of magic, or a little nursery for lil magic kids. Or if I'm the only one with magic cause of a freak accident, I would use it to help myself and my friends. I'd like to thing I'd help others too. But there's a lot of different scenarios this could have. Like, how I got my magic, what kind of magic it is etc. I have so many ideas!
This deserves an in depth think. Who knows, this may help me in fighting out the plot of my book. Take care whoever reads this!
@memelord500
Hey there :) There's no such things as late replies for me, all replies are welcome :)
Good luck for those results I hope everything goes as you expect !! Also coffee with your friend sounds like a nice way to spend time :)
Aaaah don't worry it makes loads of sense, at least to me ! I love books too, just jumping into that different world, being a different person and going on all those adventures without even leaving the couch :) Any books that you really enjoy ?
I'm sorry to hear that you're tired today, hope you get some rest soon <3
Wow ! That's definitely something I wasn't expecting ! Don't you get dizzy at all ? Also, you'd need a lot of space to do all those cartwheels right ? x) Seeing the best in people is such a positive way of thinking ! I really wish more people did do that, thanks for being one of them :)
Oh you've given this a lot of thought and do have a lot of ideas indeed ! I love the idea of a magic school, helping kids grow up and master their form of magic sounds lovely ;) It's great that you'd use magic to help others, very generous of you there :) And yes as you say, many scenarios possible ! Feel free to do as you wish with them :) I hope it didn't make you think too much ! And it'd be great if it helps with the plot of your book ! Kinda makes me want to write something but I'm not so good at writing x)
Thanks for checking-in, take care <3
@Slizzy564
Thanks! I have to wait a little bit longer but they're out aaaaaagggghhhh.
@Slizzy564
Darn it sent too early.
I enjoy all kinds of books, except biographies unless it's a really really really interesting person. Horror, crime, fiction, non fiction. Although I do have a lot of fantasy fiction books, I love those. When they're well done and well written they provide this intricate whole other world you can drive into.
I did get *very* dizzy. And we were in a field near my old house lol.
The magic scenario made me think a lot, in a good way! I didn't even realise I still had the capabilities of this kind of multiple idea imagining anymore so it was great!!
Take care as well 😊❤ and thanks for always taking the time to make a thought out, caring reply for everyone! It's very kind of you
@memelord500
Aaaaah indeed ! Let me know how it goes :)
Oh I enjoy fantasy fiction too :) Yeah it's take a good author to build a logical world that makes sense but is also fascinating to discover !
Oh no ! Well at least you know your limit now ! Might be worth looking up the world record, you never know ;)
Aww it's great to hear that you rediscovered this ability ! You know I love it when we bounce from one thought to another just like that ! Kinda like that mind mapping technique you can use for studying :)
Aww thanks <3 Honestly it's my pleasure, I love reading what you're all up to and get to learn about tons of new stuff so really I'm the one thanking you ! :)
@Slizzy564
I got the results!!! So out grade system is in points and there's a grand total of 600 points you can get, and your number of points impacts what college you can get into. That's the summarized version.
We have higher and ordinary levels in subjects, just the difficulty really kind of like a video game, and I did ordinary maths and that automatically drops your points by half for that class if that makes sense.
And you have seven subjects, and you drop your worst subject, so whatever class is your lowest grade you drop that class and it doesn't count.
Anyway long story short I got 462 points!
@memelord500
Wow your results are kinda complicated ! Anyways congrats !!! Well done ! :) I hope that you're happy with your results :)
@Slizzy564
@Slizzy564
hi
1) How are you doing today? Anything planned for the day?
i'm doing okay, just planning to do schoolwork at home and maybe go for a walk
2) Do you have a series, universe, form of art that is a safe place for you?
i mainly escape by daydreaming. i also love drawing and watching movies/ reading because i feel like im a character in their stories.
3) What's magical about you?
honestly i don't really know.. im a sensitive person and can catch onto other people's emotions really easily and can tell exactly what they're feeling, if that counts?
4) If you could use magic, what would you do with it?
do a "happiness" spell on myself, make my social anxiety go away. help people and animals in any way possible.
@emotionalScarf5735
Hey there :)
Good luck with the school work ! Are you spending the whole year at home ? And do enjoy that walk if you get round to doing it :)
Daydreaming is a nice safe place, anything in particular that you daydream about ? Oh drawing ! That's cool ! And yeah being a character in a movie/book is a great way to take our mind off things :)
Hum you know I think that we don't value sensitive people enough ! I think it's pretty cool that you can catch on people's emotions quickly, could really help people who have a hard time voicing their opinions !
Aaah a happiness spell sounds great :) I hope you manage to work around your social anxiety ! And helping people and animals sounds lovely :)
Thanks for checking in, take care <3
