Repost @aishwarya_balasubramanian_19 My Day 2 at the Library was more awesome than Day 1. I had lots of conversations with actual people, that, I rarely found myself to have. Welcoming and extremely accommodating people and fun dramas that happen in the kitchen!! Coffee and tea, and tea and tea, and coffee and tea on the roll ❤️❤️❤️ I think I need to be very proud of myself since someone with a social anxiety and a history of suffering (suffering not so simple, suffering not so easy to move on from), I am doing very well but it's a bit difficult to talk kind to myself as I am coming from a place that has been unkind to me. The trauma that I carry within me has found a place to lay rest on. The opinions that have always ignited inside me have a space to come out and dance and there's no one, no world to stop me from calling myself a, feminist. I received my first task for the following couple of weeks. I striked conversations with almost all the people present and did my best in creeping out of my shell that is cozy yes, but a bit lonely and confused. I believe talking meaning and talking vulnerability is the prime time solution to many of the global crisis and suffering that people silently and un-silently are found with. I attended my first official Library event (exhibition) as a member at work. I asked questions. I listened (have always been more of a listener) but yeah, in the process of being able to actually talk about my life, my person more with another person in person (yeah, there is a family here, there are warm drinks, there is kindness here, there are people who won't assume things about me easily, people who are humans first, people who are not the robots I was thinking of becoming). I read an amazing book. I got some amazing books. I walked around the Library trying to soak in the truth that I am going to be here with these superb humans for a long time.
