I truly believe the only way to appreciate the times that life feels good is to have some designated wallowing time a couple times a month. What I mean by this is just letting yourself feel like a piece of shit and getting through it all anyways. Right now I feel like garbage but my routine continues - I just do it WHILE feeling my feelings. Repression and avoidance is as stupid as holding ur hand in front of your face to shield from a rainstorm. Let all flow like water baby ✌️🌧

i find that hanging out with friends helps me a lot, like the people that really make you laugh and feel good about yourself. that being said, it is totally okay to wallow in the sadness and feel it, because that is the only way it will ever pass. i would play sad music from a playlist and allow myself to cry for the duration of the playlist, then when it was over i would get up and try to do something else. this helps set a boundary while allowing you to feel the emotions and still be productive. also, find things that you love doing. for me, it was anything creative. making art that reflects how i'm feeling was a great outlet. eat good food, cry, hangout with friends, go to bookstores, cry, go to art galleries, redecorate your room, treat yourself to some new clothes, cry, do some yoga, go on an outside walk/hike, cry. and then wake-up every day and do the best that you can. it really does get better, i promise. sending hugs, you got this!!

give yourself some time and space to feel every emotion as it comes and name it - accepting this is hard but you should just be honest with how you feel. Don’t fall for the trap of wallowing or self pitying too long but do enable yourself to be emo for as long as it feels right

sometimes it’s alright to feel terrible and stressed and cry for a while and then eat a bit and feel alright about things

Maybe it’s just my frontal lobe developing but I’ve been really simplifying the aesthetics of my life lately… no more dyed hair or heavy makeup… pared back outfits, plain nails and switching auto-caps back on…. Investing in the quality and durability of things/people in my life rather than the folly of aesthetic currency.
Theres something awesome about feeling like I’m enough as a person on the inside without trying so hard to reflect it on the outside. I don’t have to be the most interesting person in a room anymore! I can just be :)
