I appreciate you both so much, Ross and Patrick! Thank you for your kind words. I skimmed through your comments when I first saw them, but it felt so vulnerable to really take them in; part of me wanted to just brush them off. I've decided to trust your words over that voice in my head though. Thank you for being here!
It’s so hard to listen to the healthier version of ourselves when we’re feeling mentally spent. Sometimes I don’t go outside. Or get a bath. Or soothe myself in a way I know that is better or health.
Just know you have to be Hanna. That is your only job. Just go with it. Just be. And know you’ll be feeling “better” shortly.
Thank you, Holly! I completely agree. Love the phrase "that's your only job." Bonus: I love having a creative outlet for those days and a community of support and understanding around me!
Great post, art is definitely my go to. Today I've been enjoying my art and now have had to stop to lie down but it'll mean I'll look forward to getting back to it tomorrow. I love the idea of a zine for harder days!
Amazing piece, Hanna. You're not too much. You're awesome, and you're helping your readers feel less alone. You help me feel less alone!
Yeah exactly what Ross said. Really appreciate the vulnerability, Hanna. Also feeling less alone having read this.
