usually I‘d share it in some way or the other
share it with friends (if possible), write it down in detail or even sketch it out, helps me move on and eventually forget about it :)

Perhaps you could try journaling? Try to define the things you can and cant change. Maybe try to look at them from a different lens. I also find that reading helps me a lot. Getting a different perspective on a shared feeling and learning through the characters. You could also share your thoughts with someone you trust as we probably all feel similarly.

personally i write when i feel a Big Emotion or i think i’ve reached an epiphany on something. i write on scrap paper, in my journal or in my notes app. i used to write movie reviews for my uni’s magazine but my workload got too hectic. i also write for the performance of having written something sometimes you know. i used to do more god awful poetry when i was younger but currently in my free thought prose bag. i share my writing with my friends mostly. i’ve got a substack but just never posted on there. most importantly for me anyways i write so in a couple months i can look back amused at what i had going on. also want to try and write from a non personal standpoint. but hope this was helpful!!

Helps me get my thoughts in order when it’s too long or incoherent to tell another person. Plus I just need all the words out of my system

Not on an emotional level - that seems impossible sometimes.
Rather physically. Remind yourself you‘re attached to a body. Remind yourself you can experience the world around you.
For instance, splash your face with cold water, multiple times. If you‘re cold, let warm water run over your wrists, it warms you up quick.
Put yourself out there in the (chilly) wind and/or sun. Either open a window and stick your head out or - if you can get yourself to do that - really go outside for a walk. Could be a quick five minute stroll or an extensive one. Also helps clearing your head of any noise.
Reconnect with nature while you‘re at it. Just touch your environment. Do it. Touch the leaves you pass by, touch the tree branches, step into puddles, pick up flowers, blow a dandelion. If you have the opportunity, (if you‘re living near a farm or similar) pet animals.
Those things usually help me regain a bit of positivity or any (positive) feeling of being human at all.
Hope this helps, slumps suck, but there‘s better days ahead. After all flowers need rain to grow, no? 💐

I went to see it together with my sister.
I cried, she cried, we both crode. A lot.
The first five minutes of the film already got me. Andrew‘s and Florence‘s acting is phenomenal. It all felt so genuine and real - which makes sense considering that Florence really shaved her hair for this and that the story hits home for Andrew because of his mother.
My sister and I were honestly baffled upon seeing that they didn‘t receive a single Oscar nomination. That gas station scene alone deserved at least one.
I rarely watch romance movies and I knew this one was going to be heartwrenching, but I really enjoyed it. They portrayed the ending in such a beautiful way, a way that is gently feeding you the truth whilst causing your heart to shatter simultaneously.
It‘s the perfect movie to watch on a cold evening, with a warm blanket and your fav feel-good snack. And most definitely tissues.

Honestly the only reasonable one for me.
This album (initially Bewitched) deeply influenced my entire listening course upon discovering it. The credits are due to Laufey, but it was Bewitched in particular, that got me back into this jazzy-pop genre (heading towards more classical jazz).
For me, each and every song of Bewitched - The Goddess Edition is beautifully structured and sung. I know a lot of people who believe that all those songs sound the same, but I am convinced you experience a different feeling with every one of them. Claiming that they all would sound the same just doesn‘t do this album justice.
It explores love, girlhood, longing and so many more feelings one often keeps deep down to themselves. Laufey manages to portray each one of these feelings so genuinely, I simply could not get sick of listening to this album on repeat.
I might also be biased since I got to listen to her perform this album live, front row (hence the photo :') ) - yet, that was the most entrancing and comforting concert experience I ever got to have.
This album has been alongside me throughout the entirety of 2024 and I‘m glad it was this one. 🪄💙
