i've had a really interesting run of it lately.
the piece of advice i've been given by my therapist lately is to stop ruminating and reflecting when we're not in session. it's good advice, at least for me. part of treating and healing trauma-based disorders is obviously going back and unpacking that, so it's sort of impossible to avoid focusing on the past completely, but limiting that behavior (as much as possible) to sessions is a really good way to compartmentalize things. and i loveeeee to compartmentalize.
i've also been tasked to come with ten (10) things i'm looking forward to in the coming weeks/months. and considering i don't blog nearly as often as i maybe should or want to, it seems like a good idea to put them here. so, here's my ten:
- new bon iver album next friday
- passover coming up! (i'm gonna get so wine drunk at the seder)
- seeing lucy dacus live in may
- the end of the semester
- meeting my family's new dog
- seeing friends more often over the summer
- (hopefully) getting a job as a barista in my hometown
- switch 2 release!!!
- annual cedar point trip with my friends
- going camping in the summer
maybe not all of these things will turn out good. i really don't have high hopes for that bon iver album specifically. but i can't let myself anticipate failure before it happens anymore. self-fulfilling prophecies and whatnot.
i never know how to conclude these
