Reminder: I can do hard things. We can all do hard things. Let’s do this. [Text]

Hello, everyone. I’m new here.

What was heightened during COVID-19 and worsened over time no longer controls me.

After years of struggling with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and, more recently, immense burnout that spiralled into agoraphobia, I’m choosing to take my life back.

It hasn’t been easy. It still isn’t easy. And I know this journey will continue to come with challenges. But today, instead of telling myself I’ll start going on walks later or save the treadmill I bought earlier this year for the colder, darker months, I decided to simply start moving.

I’m reminding myself that I can do hard things.

Those are the words I’ll keep telling myself every day.

And if you’re reading this while struggling too, I hope you’re being kind and patient with yourself. I hope you recognise that you’re surviving and existing on the best terms you currently can, the best terms you know. And that’s okay.

Things can get better. Things will get better, because you will grow, heal, and get stronger too.

Apologies if this post triggers anyone in any way. That’s never my intention. I just needed to anonymously share this with people who may understand, without judgment from those who simply don’t get it.

This is the coolest she ever looked imo

Obsessed with her 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards red carpet look. Genuinely the coolest she ever looked. Love the hair too. It’s just a vibe. 10/10.

I’ve met her and she’s terribly nice. I find that it isn’t wise to attempt to judge people on their public persona, and even on the music they make. Because I’ve met so many people whose music I cannot stand, and they’re very nice.

At the same time, I’ve met people whose music I’ve loved, and they’re not the person you’ve invested all this emotion in. And that’s your fault – I mean my fault. Lady Gaga is terribly nice. And her name is very funny, I think. I don’t think her music was ever designed to appeal to people like me. It’s not my type of music.

I’m 28, soon to be 29, and haven’t been sexually active in about four years. I experienced what I thought was love and heartbreak quite early on, and I’ve had a range of sexual experiences, some of which, with more perspective now, I recognise as quite difficult or even traumatic.

Lately, I’ve noticed that I don’t feel any real desire to put myself out there or engage in hookup culture. I’m not sure whether that comes from those past experiences or if I’m simply not as sexually driven as I once assumed. Maybe it’s a bit of both.

I imagine there are others who feel something similar, generally at peace with it, but occasionally hit by waves of loneliness. That’s where I find myself, mostly okay, but sometimes questioning it.

I’m not entirely sure what I’m hoping to get from sharing this, but if nothing else, maybe it helps someone else feel a little less alone. I’d like to believe I’ll open up again in the future. Maybe my thirties will bring something different. Who knows.
