i figured out something at the beginning of this summer when I believed myself to be at an all time low.
If you have a journal, great. if you don't, get one.
find something every day, no matter what, that makes you smile. Write that down in that journal next to the date. Always have at least one, more if that happens.
It forces you to enjoy the little things, like a cloud that you saw that was in a funny shape, or an old friends phone call, or even a breeze on a hot day. It makes you remember the basic happiness to life.
And it will give you stuff to look back on that made you smile.
It's a great idea, and I pass it onto you. My twin :D
I used to keep a journal, but then I would get so involved with what I was writing I could never finish my thought or it just made me more confused or upset in my imaginary world...
i thought that you'd enjoy that. it doesnt require a lot of time and it doesnt make you analyze your life it just makes you smile and makes you remember that little things do matter
You sound so lost Sarah... I wish there was something I could do to help you. :( You know I'm always here if you need to talk to me.
I actually have a few things I need to talk to you about. I feel like life was on fast forward while you were gone.
But don't you agree that thinking is really dangerous? It only seems to make matters worse because you go around in circles in your head, and nothing can be resolved if it involves other people because you can imagine conversations and actions, but it never ends up being the way you expect them to turn out, so all of your planned reactions end up being useless and it makes you feel just as lost as before.
How about we escape to Tahiti or some random relaxing place like that where our most complicated thoughts will only have to be: Which enjoyable activity shall I do today?
it's sad though, bc sometimes it'll be so elaborate that I think I've actually had this conversation. Or I've told someone everything that I wanted to. But then I realize that it's all in the voices I've created inside my head...
you know that you can always reach me if you want to talk, or not talk. You can call me and just breath on the other end, and I'll totally know what you're saying, that's how tight we are, like psychic freaky people. I know that sometimes I try to brake the tension with humor, but I am always here for you, even when I'm sleeping.
personally I'd be creeped out if you called me and didn't say anything at all, but I think that's bc we don't have caller ID and it could be some creepy stalker (HA.. stalking the cooler -- sorry, not relevant to you alie, sarah or melissa? =P) on the other end. just let me know your alie and it's all amazing...
