Currently trying to figure out my role in this world, how I should be expressing things, and how it impacts my relationships with others. It breaks me every time I try to open up about my emotions because I try so hard to not feel any - I’ve learned feeling things just comes with so much exhaustion, yet not feeling emotion or joy or terror... it’s a different kind of tired. #Depression #help #WhatMakesLifeWorthLiving #Feelingoverwhelmed

My Dr. told me that I have had a very interesting experience of living but he told me that I need to SAVOR the little things.

(What Makes My Life Worth Living)
my therapist once told me
that if I only celebrate big milestones
than I will never acknowledge the little victories
she said recovery is a work in progress.
progress is listening to 'I Am Light' by India.Arie on repeat for hours on end
inhaling the peaceful melody and exhaling the lyrical meanings
because my soul will not be defined by others acceptance
it's watching Lilo & Stitch
and sobbing hysterically at 3 A.M.
because 'ohana is family
and that means that I will never be left behind or forgotten
it's cozy pillows
and fuzzy blankets
and my childhood teddy bear
because life is chaotic but at least I am safe and warm
it's salted caramel ice cream
with rainbow sprinkles
and a generous helping of hot fudge
because the sensation of
hot and cold
and sweet and salty
reflects how the conflicting emotions
I hold prisoner in my chest
can become a beautiful combination
it's soaking in LUSH bath bombs and aromatherapy bubble baths
because the brilliant swirls of color remind me that the world is not just black and white
it's writing about alternate universes where people are loved
beyond their wildest dreams
because if I can't face the outside world right now I might as well create my own
these little blessings are of great importance
so give thanks to the universe.
because life is full of big moments
that will define the course of your existence
but the little things make your life worth living in the meantime.
