Things I cried over this week
(And the week isn't over yet)
I'm a very emotional person. I cry at sad and happy movies, books, TikToks... you name it. I will cry over any little small thing sometimes, whether it's something that's just a small inconvenience or something that is truly sad.
Now, I did lose a grandma this week... so I've obviously cried over that a few times this week. But instead of focusing in on that, let's laugh at all the other ridiculous things that have gotten me emotional this week.
...And there's probably others that I can't think of right now.
It's crazy how sometimes the smallest thing can lead to a mental breakdown when you're already in a rough spot.
Will everything be okay? Yes, it absolutely will. (And that's what I keep reminding myself). But that doesn't mean that I can't acknowledge that some stuff sucks.
There's a few things that I do if I'm not feeling super great or I'm having one of those small moments that seems so overwhelming. It's amazing how one small thing might make the day not seem so bad.
I might...
Call or text a loved one
Take a shower
Play with the dog
Watch a Disney movie
Go for a walk
Soak up some sun
Also... remember to take your medications, drink water, get a decent amount of sleep, and eat something. Sometimes we forget the simple things, and yes, the simple things can make a difference.
I hope your week is going better than mine, but hey -- I'm already feeling a bit better because look! I wrote something this week.
Here's to next week. 🥂
