notes to self: things I've recently learned edition

Being emotionally healthy does not mean that you will not feel negative emotions. It means that when you do feel negative emotions like anger and sadness and shame and dejection, you will not let it trigger self-destructive behaviour. You will observe and understand what you are feeling and you will allow yourself to feel it and pass.

Let people be who they are and give yourself time to know who they are. Then you get to decide whether you want them in your life or not. You shouldn't want so badly to fit someone into your life that you ask them to change or compromise on your end.

Do not wear a dress when you go to the beach because then when you sit on the sand it goes everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

You do not care so much for anything really. If it's there, great, you will enjoy and appreciate. And if it's not, that's fine too, you will go on with your life. Example: You've only had mangoes thrice this whole summer and it doesn't even matter. You always thought you couldn't go a summer without devouring 10000 mangoes. But here you are.

Be the healthy person. Do the thing you want to do and say the thing you want to say instead of waiting the other person to do it. Express what you feel. Ask for what you need. Even if they do not reciprocate, at least you did the healthy thing - you communicated. There is beauty in being confident and having clarity on what you want and who you are.

Humans always overestimate the things they can do and the way they can change in one year and underestimate the changes that can shape their life in 10 years. Don't do that. Stop pressuring yourself to do everything this calendar year and really capitalise on the power of time and have a long term vision and plan for what you want and who you want to be.

Love, Loss, and Longing: The Universal Language of Billie Eilish

In the vast expanse of human emotion, there exist experiences so profoundly relatable, they transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries. Love, loss, and longing are among these universal sentiments, echoing through the chambers of every heart. Billie Eilish, the 22-year-old musical phenomenon, has tapped into this collective emotional reservoir, crafting a discography that not only resonates with her generation but also speaks to the fundamental human condition. Her Tiny Desk performance, a masterclass in emotional vulnerability, distills the essence of love, loss, and longing, reaffirming the transformative power of music as a universal language.

Eilish’s music is a poignant exploration of the human experience, where love is inextricably linked with the terror of vulnerability. This duality is hauntingly captured in her stripped-down rendition of “The Greatest,” a melancholic reflection on the bittersweet nature of love and regret. The song’s emotional intensity, underscored by Eilish’s almost-breaking falsetto, creates a sense of shared vulnerability, inviting listeners to confront their own experiences of love and heartache.

The longing that permeates Eilish’s music is equally universal, a yearning that transcends the specifics of individual experience to touch the heart of what it means to be human. In “Birds of a Feather,” the lyrics “I don’t know what I’m crying for, I don’t think I could love you more” encapsulate the paradoxical nature of love and loss, a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever loved and lost. This song, like many in Eilish’s oeuvre, serves as a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the face of adversity.

The universality of Eilish’s music lies in its ability to capture the complexity of human emotion, acknowledging the messy, often contradictory nature of love, loss, and longing. Her Tiny Desk performance, with its carefully curated set list, flows seamlessly from the haunting reflections of “The Greatest” to the poignant exploration of vulnerability in “I love you,” culminating in the universal yearning of “Birds of a Feather.” Each song, a thread in the intricate tapestry of human experience, contributes to a larger narrative that is at once deeply personal and profoundly relatable.

Billie Eilish’s music, as exemplified by her Tiny Desk performance, reaffirms the role of art as a universal language, capable of transcending boundaries to speak directly to the human heart. In exploring the themes of love, loss, and longing, Eilish reminds us that, despite our differences, we are united in our shared emotional experiences. Her music, a beacon of vulnerability and empathy, illuminates the darkest corners of the human condition, offering a profound sense of connection and understanding to all who listen.

Hi friends, with uni starting up again I've been really motivated and grateful, but I am going through a lot mentally and emotionally with family stuff (more than usual lol) so I was considering using the uni counselling service. The qualm I have is that I only get access to four sessions for free, and then can have only six more for the year (billed). I'd rather not start at all than be cut off from sessions before I can reap the benefits...

That's why I wanted to ask anyone who has used university- or college-based counselling services what your experience of it was. you can just answer in the poll, but i'd also really appreciate if you could tell me more about it in my inbox if you're open to it

Mercury turns direct suggests a moment of clarity, a moment of insight where over the last 3 weeks or so, we might be thinking something a certain way and now we are seeing things differently.

We are realising how things actually are. We are able to accept and find that truth now.

In this time communicate and understand clearly.

There is a perception of pessimism and inability of seeing light

Breathe. Be diligent with your thoughts and mind.

Hone yourself to your belief and faith in the dark. Seek help when you need it.

Be patient with self and you will find equilibrium.

****************************************************

My note for you. If no one has told you lately, the universe loves you. You are worthy of love. If you don’t know it yet, didn’t this year, with its triumphs and trials, woven a tapestry of our lives together?

Thank you for reading my posts.

At the New Year's dawn, let's carry that strength into the new year ahead of us. 🔥 Let's continue to build ourselves, nurturing dreams, conquering challenges, and becoming the person we envision of being.

To all you here, may the year ahead be a canvas painted with vibrant hues of joy, growth, and self-discovery.

May we continue to find solace and inspiration 🦋

Healing is important, but not because you aren’t enough and you need to become a “perfect” version of yourself to deserve good things in your life. You are enough as you are now and healing is important because you deserve to be able to feel at peace.

Jesus’ mental acuity and emotional wellbeing

The Jesus presented in the Gospels reflects an exemplary personal and moral character, one that transcends the frail imperfect human moral condition... In sharp contrast to known deceivers, Jesus showed no signs of being motivated by wealth, fame, power, or pleasure... Frankly for those who have examined the life of Jesus, accepting him as the divine Messiah is much easier than concluding that he was a moral and spiritual fraud.

Of all men, Jesus seems to have a secure grip on reality. He consistently exhibited profound mental and emotional stability. In every crisis that he confronted-whether being mocked and interrogated by his enemies or undergoing the horrific torture of crucifixion-Jesus’ mind reflected an amazing clarity, sobriety, and underlying emotional stability.

Jesus transcends all categories concerning human mental health, emotional stability, and moral virtue. A powerful reason for concluding that Jesus was indeed God incarnate is that he was fundamentally different from every other human being that ever lived. Even Socrates, the Buddha, and Confucius pale in comparison to him. In fact, standards of human goodness are measured according to his life and character.

Dear Survivors, Feeling is Overwhelming.

However well-meaning the layperson or advocate may be, their sincerity can be as overwhelming as it is relieving. The interactions that should have been genuine and kind, were used to manipulate and trap you. The men who should have walked away and called the police, used you for their fantasies of violence. So this person who wants to pay for your coffee, hold open the door, ask for directions, likes your shoes..."What if they want something from me? What if they're lying? What if I believe them? What if this is the first step back down the road I barely escaped?"

The need for BOUNDARIES becomes paramount.

You've borne the brunt of other's trauma and apathy long enough, either living in numbness or overload to survive their emotions. You had to find an equilibrium with pain to defy death on so many levels. The greatest challenge now is evolving out of this hypervigilance: Your feelings do and move without permission or consideration, living apart and independent from any sense of familiarity. They can be selfish things, but a wonderful part of your healing is allowing these feelings to be selfish on behalf of your RECONSTRUCTION.

These feelings...they care about you, about your safety, even as they startle and run wild. There's no room for guilt once you realize this sincerity. All you need are fences strong enough to corral these feral feelings: just enough boundary to coax them back into view without inhibiting the warmth you want to build with the world. Oh, how more EASILY SAID THAN DONE.

YOU are the only face your feelings should recognize in the mirror and the first hand they trust to steady their rages. We can never say enough that it will take time, as healing always does, but aloneness with oneself is the FIRST STEP to trusting yourself. YOU are the most important person in YOUR world right now.

FEEL THAT.

Peeling back the layers of toxic positivity: recognizing its subtle forms. Let's shed light on its true colors.

I found myself riding this exact wave at the end of 2021 and through most of 2022. Only now am I beginning to heal after having moved away from the environment where all of this occurred and deleting and blocking the individual. It cost me so much peace of mind, focus, and even money.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, limit contact, find something to help reground yourself and your expectations in reality, and find a means of external accountability and support. Remaining in these types of relationships will only continue to be damaging to your health and emotional wellbeing.
