i saw a study that showed long distance couples who used minecraft to socialize activated the same part of the brain that activates when physically with people.
i wonder if that may have the same effect and may act as a possible outlet for those of us struggling with loneliness
curious if anyone would be interested
i’ve spent countless hours alone, in bed, with nothing to keep me company other than the all too familiar pain and confusion.
at times completely unable to move, debating if it was worth peeing the bed because i’m too weak to get up.
my world had shrunk more than i’d ever imagined.
but even then.
even when I’m a confused wreck with no space to feel anything other than pain
i love my little world .
i love the texture of my pillows
i love my soft gentle music
i love my little world
i don’t plan on staying sick
but i also don’t plan on ever being normal.
i’ve forgiven my body for bringing different
for being weak
for hurting
for not being “normal”
i’ve let go of the version of myself that i am not..
i stopped comparing myself to people who i’m not.
through time, gentleness and an inhuman amount of patience
i will get better.
i love my little world
as it gets bigger
little by little
i love every new part too.
never again will i take for granted the little joys in life :)
