maybe a dumb realization but sometimes say it’s okay to feel kinda shitty for no reason, it feels better than trying to like fix it with exercise or food or entertainment like you're your own helicopter parent.
Some days feel so painful from all the stress, and yes I know it’s supposed to build character or what not. Honestly whoever said that never worked at a creative.
Recently thought I’ve just been reminding myself “it’s okay… I’m getting by.” Seems odd to say out loud, but hurts less then keeping the thought in the body/mind!
Maybe i have too high a tolerance for discomfort but something tells me thats not the worst thing. Whats so bad about slapping on a smile when it hurts. You go for a run you change your perspective and things are good until they aren’t and you go and try to fix it again. about the journey right? maybe it is better to be honest with yourself i dont know. But this works sometimes for me believe in life and love try ur best etc. sorry to preach.
Digital archives, national archives, old movie tickets and photos, notes app archives, old instagram posts or even a big old warehouse. The idea that anything can be worthy of being remembered is beautiful.
