so long, and thanks for all the fish

obviously none of this has been put into any sort of order; right now I'm just collecting songs I like and then tossing it on shuffle whenever I need a good beat to get me up in the morning. every song is on here for a mental health reason-- it makes me smile/laugh, it gives me euphoria and/or hope, or it reminds me of my own struggles in some way and lets me know that I'm not the only one going through it.

it's So Tiny right now though; if y'all have any music that gives you the happy brain juice then please I'm begging you rec it here!! it's so fuckin hard for me to think of songs to add unless I just remember they exist or happen across them in the wild (thanks ADHD), so I love it when people share stuff with me

having a spot of bad brain, decided to allow myself to lay down and mope for a few minutes

and just remembered I left my tea steeping in the kitchen half an hour ago lol. at least it will be perfectly fine if I microwave it for a minute before stirring in my milk and sugar. thinking that it's possible I might need to change up my ADHD meds

bad brain is better now (: tea and some music were wonderful distractions. here's what I listened to while I enjoyed my tea (along with some other covers by this immensely talented person)

(as a side note: I'm making a playlist full of songs that make me laugh and/or help inspire me to work on myself and my mental health; feel free to rec any songs that do that for you)

I'm still working on the "establishing a sleep schedule and hygiene routine" thing but like, I'm so much more motivated to go do things and I have so much more patience when it comes to stressful/aggravating situations. my parents asked me if I'd thought about getting back into the workforce lately, and for maybe the first time in my entire life, I responded "yeah I have!" and felt myself actually meaning it, without any self doubt or inner noooo-I-don't-wanna thoughts.

I'm not entirely sure if covid safety might play a role in what kind of job I take up, but I've always wanted to try barista-ing. baristing? baristando. I want to make the coffee's

but also, I am not yet ready for that. I need tools and instructional materials, and I need a simpler/lower-entry job to raise the funds to obtain said tools. and for the first time in my entire life, I can conceptualize the road forward to where I want to be and every step it might require along the way. shit is wild. I know I've been putting in the earnest work on myself, but got damn how do the therapy work so well
