I just recently followed a tutorial on YouTube about filet crochet. I feel crochet is a good way to turn your mind off repeating the same pattern. Filet crochet requires a little bit more attention but once you get the hang of it, it’s so fun! I made a rose for my first attempt!

Hii!! I learned how to crochet during the pandemic Like so many others… I rec starting out with a small cheap ball of yarn and one hook And then crochet a small rectangle (10-20 rows?) of single crochet, then half-double, then double (basic stitch types). Follow along YouTube videos that teach you how to do this. Once you’ve gotten this done I suggest starting a small project that excites you, look on YouTube for a simple pattern tutorial that you can follow. Obvi it would be awesome to have a grannie or someone instead to learn from but YouTube is what we got. And then from there you’ll have confidence!! start following accounts/saving crochet stuff that you come across that’s inspiring bc it’s a great additional motivator that’ll keep you dreaming of future projects/make you aware of what’s possible. 💕

You need hobbies!! Not ones you monetize off of! Just pure fun! and a way to pat yourself on the back and say, “Woah, Ican make this awesome special unique thing! Just for me and how I like it. I am capable of learning new skills!“ This is how I cope ahaha

Its very hard for me to make friends. I feel like I know a lot of people but I am not friends with anyone??..if that makes any sense. I am going to try to form better and deeper relationships with the people around me. Manifesting beautiful friendships for myself :)

Finally had a taste of some warmer weather. I feel like I gained sentience again. I realize that the sun and being outdoors heavily impacts my mood and outlook on life. Seasonal depression is such a huge issue and I think we need to talk about it more! Also look at this cool tree with a seat I found !
