It's that time again! A day early, but just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing! Anything cool or exciting going on the past week you wanna talk about? Anything got you down? This is the spot, good or bad.
Remember you are loved :stalin-heart:
For my own part, been feeling pretty good lately! I'm getting better about not sitting around and zoning out as much, and we added an extra tour date or two so now we'll be on the road for 16 straight days! I have some thoughts about being gone for so long (nothing bad, just pup related thoughts), but I'm beyond thrilled to be hitting the road like this again! Beyond that, really enjoying Psychonauts 2, and have been getting REALLY into ghost stories and creepy paranormal shows and stuff the past week or two. That's all for now! Hope you're all well!
Went to vegan festival - it was alright, though a little too corporate for my tastes. Wish they had more community-led stuff and a bit more to do (workshops, lawn games, whatever). On the plus side it was incredibly diverse.
I've been having waves of collapse brain that are getting stronger. They ruined the second half of my workday today. Work was fun to start, but when your heart is not in it - even against it - it's very hard to stay motivated. Today I ended up searching up foraging information when I just couldn't make myself focus.
My sister brought it up recently and is on the exact same page, including some of our longer-term strategies/ideas (#blessed to have access to land) which really feels good. I also unloaded on one of my partners, who is sympathetic to the perspective, but I'm terrified to drag her down into this mind-trench. At the same time, now that we own a mobile living space together, we need to be able to coordinate and I don't want her to sleepwalk off the cliff.
It's ruining my reward system. I quit coffee recently, but weed and alcohol feel harder to stay away from and I have rapidly worsening scrolling habits. The thought of the next party/festival leaves me irrationally gleeful.
I'm normally very bloomer, and I'm sure that'll come back in waves as well. Quitting :reddit-logo: and news in general would probably help, seeing how incredibly negative it's gotten, but I want to stay aware.
Sending my best, comrade :meow-hug:
