Complimenting strangers

I’ve always had struggles starting/maintaining conversations, so when I was in college, I would find something to compliment a stranger on (typically a cashier or someone I had to talk to) because I remembered how good I felt when I unexpectedly got a compliment from someone. When I myself became a cashier at a coffee shop, it was a really nice way to make someone feel good if they looked bored or upset. It also helps with awkward silences. I still do it when I can or when the situation calls for it, and it’s so nice to see people react and smile.

Choosing recovery

Almost a year ago I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for the second time. I was stuck in a cycle of emergency room visits, being referred to different services and attending crisis centres. I felt so hopeless but I decided that I would give recovery one last shot and I knew it would need to be 1000000%. My life has changed so much in the last year. Things still feel so hard sometimes but I’m managing. I dont feel so ashamed anymore and I’m making plans for the future again. I’m so grateful and happy I decided to get better. This feels a bit self serving but I’m proud of myself. Something happened yesterday that would have sent me over the edge, but I’m coping. It still hurts a lot but I’m not hurting myself. It’s been nice to reflect on it today.

Doing something your teenage self would be proud of

Im basically reconsidering my entire career today I went to a vintage shop I like and had a chat with the owner about a job and she was keen!!!!!! we had a cigarette and a black coffee and dumpster dived It might not turn into anything but it felt like a nice affirmation of doing things for myself and actually figuring out what I like and care about Teenage me would be so proud she was too busy surviving to develop a sense of self :’)
