LETTING YOURSELF HAVE FEELINGS

ive recently been inspired by a friend to actually share my feelings. not in a silly, self-deprecating way anymore, but in a ‘i’d like to talk to someone who would actually listen’ serious way. he’s got a blog on here too, and yes, he’s literally promoting it and it’s out to the public, but it still feels weird to read bc it is such a personal thing. but i think there’s beauty in sharing personal feelings like that. ive been joking saying im just exposing myself, but releasing these feelings is what i need. i need to learn to open up and stop bottling everything up and pretending im ok (side note - i actually have no idea what ok actually is. sometimes i think i am actually fine and happy, that these are just regular people problems, that sometimes im just blowing this out of proportion. but sometimes i also think these problems shouldn’t be minimized and that talking with someone (either a journal like this, a friend or trusted adult, or a legit therapist) would significantly benefit me)  and before anyone goes saying ‘jUsT tAlK tO a THerApiSt’ i’m seriously considering it. i’m just trying other alternatives before i commit to something. plus my last attempts at therapy did not inspire confidence in the practice.  i’ve got a journal i’ve been writing in for nearly nine months now, and while it is nice to write, idk i feel like screaming into the void and maybe someone who feels the same way i do seeing this will make it feel even better. plus im too stingy with the way i have my journal set up. it’s more to just document my day with the occasional feelings (or 6 pages worth of feelings), but this blog is for long-form, organized feelings. (plus typing is much nicer than writing by hand for longer things like this) i’m also gonna try and remember to add songs recs (the entire reason for this app, right?) that vaguely correspond with the content of the post.  recently, i’ve added A LOT of songs to my playlist. most notably “Basket Case” by Green Day. it’s been on repeat lately. it kinda just matches the confusion and chaos yet self awareness i’ve been feeling recently. i’m not the best at music analysis (which also is kinda the point of this app ._.) so i’ll just say: i just like everything about it. it’s relatable, it’s fun (take that with a grain of salt, but ykwim), it’s catchy. it’s a good song to belt out when im home alone and feel like singing something with deep meaning behind it  (pls don’t come at me for not being able to analyze lyrics. i’m not smart enough for that) (ok there i go again on my own putting myself down. but what i mean is im just not good at analyzing literature and stuff) ok well im looking through my friend’s blog that inspired all this, and he goes a lot more into the music rec part (which, again, the point of this app), with the feelings tied in. but they’re also a huge music nerd and i’m not. and a large part of why im doing this is the catharsis with the music recs as a secondary priority. (tbf we all probably already know and love “Basket Case”) but idk y’all are weird. i saw someone just recommend their cat so. (tbf, i recommend my cats too). i mean the big recommendation for this post is expressing feelings and not bottling them up. it’s really helpful just getting it all out. anywhooooo,  i like yapping, in case it wasn’t obvious. and if i do it like this it’s faceless to a bunch of people who will a) never see it or b) never know who i am or c) not care or d) relate to my problems and give some good advice and tell me im not alone.  ok this is already doing its job. im enjoying writing this shit down. it’s cathartic! i feel so much better just getting these feelings out and not bottling them up!

creating more

This was one of my new years resolutions: creating more stuff and not being satisfied by simply consuming media, art, coffee etc. I felt like I was floundering and too caught up with work to really find the time to explore this side. I should also preface this by saying I'm definitely not someone who identifies as a creative person. However, pi.fyi has been a cool way to do this with no risk or fear. Sure, my posts are dumb jokes and it's completely meaningless but it makes me feel alright and it's fun to interact with you freaks. thank u friends <3

big joys in little communities

i'm new!! hi!! stumbled on here after seeing someone on twitter mention this in passing!! this is a very lovely place. everything has been so cruel and hateful and mean lately. you'd think given how hard life already is, warm and kind spaces like this would be more common. oh well. it does make things feel more special :) i'm very shy, and honestly, nothing cool goes on in my life so i doubt i'd be able to rec interesting things. after struggling with my younger years, i feel like i'm only now starting to find the things i like and catching up with everyone else :o especially in terms of art and books and film and games and... everything!! this is kind of embarrassing to admit (it's okay though because anonymity is awesome), but i am only now forming a personality!! it's nice to be here though. very good vibes. lurking here is just as great because it doesn't feel like "doomscrolling" nice to meet you all!! hello!!
