I just want to start by saying we don’t know what we are doing , falling into and out of vibes and unparalleled energies. As we try to balance our everyday struggles, constantly distracting ourselves from the stressors of reality and responsibilities. We often find ourselves feeling ways we can’t explain or understand , turning to music that capture every aspect of your situation freakily. You think you’re feeling better yet you’re just being thrown into an endless spiral of constantly being reminded , reminiscent , saddened. As you realize that that flame , that energy , that connection is coming to an end. Your body repulses the idea , your mind questions and berates the idea , you begin to feel in ways you probably never felt before. Then life catches up to you , while the world you created is shattering crashing before your eyes , you forgot about the world where you were created. Schoolwork , work , bills , your everyday commitments now all stalk you waiting to throw the next punch. What do you do?
Find another distraction!?? No. Build another world!?? No. Get up and get out there!? Noo. Sit and take it and try to understand why you feel this way. Unlock your emotions , become in tune with your body. Ground yourself , re-center, and realign yourself.
Realizing your worth , realizing that you have your own path in life, realizing that everyone in this world has their own life , and realizing that you have to focus on yourself. Will be the best thing for you , don’t force anything with time if . Put your focus and energy back into your life , recall all your energy that people have taken from you. Get back on your shit, excuse my French. Tu parle francais ? No , well maybe , but it’s just a saying. Healing your mental body , developing your physical body , nurturing your astral body.
If you’re reading this I just want to say , What are you waiting for?

SAY THIS WITH ME

I mean you reallllly didn’t have to yell at me with this one sheesh. You’re right, really the only thing you can do when you’re in a slump is snuggle up to yourself and figure it tf out, but damn how hard is that. It can be so uncomfortable to unlock some things you haven’t realized, or forgot even happened. But as the quote points out, so is staying in that same damning place all the time. Just waiting for it to get better on it’s own, which will never ever happen. It’s really, really challenging, but it’s important to realize that you’re you, even when you feel like shit. And that’s amazing all on it’s own.
Every now and then I get into this pit where I fall really low and I can’t seem to get back up. Eventually I always do, but the biggest issue for me isn’t the dark parts of life itself, but the fact that life and people move on even when you can’t. So, by the time you do climb out of that pit there are still assignments waiting for you, responsibilities that you have to fulfil and basic necessities of life to complete. I found myself there this semester a few times, now I have to catch up to all the work I missed, and stop eating my boyfriend’s food because I didn’t want to get groceries and now I have no food in my apartment. I guess it’s all a part of the process but it still sucks. Sometimes I like to set aside a part of the night where I am just watching cartoons, because that is when I feel the most relaxed.
Your post really helped me. This week has been really tough for me and i have been in a constant state of sadness. In a way, i can say i am responding to your post when i am sad. I have been having some trouble with friends and it has really caused me to feel like i am alone. i liked your point about being thrown into an endless spiral of constantly being reminded and saddened. I am generally a very happy person, so feeling like this is extremely hard on me. I loved your point about recalling the energy that people have taken away from you. That really hits home for me in my current situation. I really appreciate your uplifting post and i am going to re-read it a couple of times to try and bring myself out of this rut. Thank you, and i really hope you have a great rest of your semester.
Firstly, this was a delightful read. I especially loved the image quotes that I am more than sure we all needed to hear.Also, I agree that in life we constantly find things to distract ourselves from what causes us stress. This post felt like a pause that I can have when things get hard,whether it be in my everyday life, or academic life, so i thank you for that.
