my ex and i had a really intense romantic and creative connection. we made each other feel safe enough to share our naivety and expression. we created a lot together in a variety of mediums like movement, clay, drawings, paintings, and writing.
throughout the first few months dating her i wrote poems about her, how i felt, and some cherished memories we had together. i collected those poems in a mini zine that i made tiny illustrations for which matched the imagery and metaphors i used. it was the first time anyone had ever written poems about her - i think she really liked it.
even though we arenāt together anymore, i really cherish that i made her feel held so warmly. humans deserve that kindness.

A close friend put together this collection of poems for me for a birthday, gorgeously typed out and organised.
Almost two years later, through a changing friendship and moving states, it is still one of my most prized possessions. every time I return to it and read parts I wonder what she was thinking about when she chose a particular poem, if she saw parts of me in it or herself. all of this makes me feel wonderfully connected to her and our shared love for poetry, and known and loved.

Iāve had periods where Iāve really struggled with this too. Before I give my rec, I want to emphasize that I think we all experience cycles in our behavior where we āmake progressā (whatever that means for you!) and then we donāt - and thatās really okay. I would start by figuring out if your body is physically okay. Lethargy/fatigue is a biological response to a lot of different things and it may be the result of unexpected health stuff! So donāt discount a doctorās visit. But mental health/stress really contributes to this for me, and it is often the biggest thing that breaks my healthy routines. This is where the loop comes in: healthy routines combat stress, but stress breaks up healthy routines. So that first day you start the healthy routine cycle is really important! For me healthy routines start with good sleep hygiene. If youāve been rotting in bed a lot and your sleep cycle is screwed, re-establishing that may be difficult. I would recommend supplementing your body with physical movement - preferably something rigorous (for your level) but also gives you joy!! No boring gym time - do whatever gives you endorphins. Consistent activity is really key for your body to not fall into a doom loop. And lastly, do the things you need to do to combat your stress. Set yourself up so that you feel you are taking meaningful steps towards progress. Start with the small stuff and donāt discount them!!! Often the small tasks are the ones that break us because they seem innumerable (for me itās always been folding laundry). But just remember, every small thing you do is progress and that will build your momentum.
I believe in ya! You have the power to change this, slowly but surely.
