Happy Monday, Mighties! ☃️
During the holiday season, one thing you’ll likely to encounter—whether you’re shopping at a grocery store, browsing a clothing shop, or walking through a mall—is the sound of holiday music playing in the background.
For Mighty staffer @sparklywartanks either a joy or a nightmare, depending on the song and her mental health at the time. She has some holiday-related childhood trauma, and certain songs can be especially triggering, so she does her best to avoid listening to the radio when she can.
What about you? Do you enjoy listening to holiday-themed music? If so, what’s your favorite song? 🎵

Happy Monday, Mighty fam! ⭐️
We all have different levels of comfort, from who we feel safest around to places we go to unwind after a long day; or even what self-care and self-soothing techniques we each gravitate toward. What may comfort one person may not comfort someone else and that’s ✨the spice of life. ✨

I’ve isolated myself from every friend and close family member I’ve ever had and sometimes my depressiveness drives them off. “Don’t be a stick in the mud” when all I really needed was “it’s ok if your sad you can stay around”. Toxic positivity is potent around here lol. But anyways I feel alone most of the time. I’ve grown fondness for my lonesomeness but when I get lonely there’s no one to call on. No one there to check in on me on my darkest days. That sucks.
