These hands were meant for display. - - - On a personal level, I am having a rough time right now mentally. I feel mostly anxious and also generally bored. Things I used to care so much about are kinda bland and I am more disorganized than usual. I think people don’t talk about mental health because once you say it out loud you are expected to “fix” it, but sometimes it’s okay to just let yourself be a bit anxious and a bit depressed. I’m trying to let myself feel the uncomfortable things and not explain my way out of them, to myself or others. We can’t be expected to get through an emotional state without feeling it first. We have to release in order to continue, otherwise discomfort becomes the default in our lives like background noise. Even just typing this out I already feel better than I did when it was all just in my head. Anyway, no need to comment on this or respond at all, I just hate the way that social media invites people to hide. So that’s what’s really up with me right now. Also I am about to go make cookies for my roommates and that is very exciting to me so maybe it’s not all so bad.
