Why can't I find the balance of time management?
How are there only 24 hours in a day?
Why do I feel so heavy in the head?
What makes friends drift apart? lovers? what lasts forever?
Is drifting better than breaking?
Why does ginger taste so good
How can one go from feeling intimately attached to dysphoric(ly?) alone so quickly?
Are we doing this right?
Am I missing something?
everything?
When do heads stop spinning?
I just finished Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig, and I cried three separate times while reading it. It made me want to take another look at my 'Human Feelings' page, because his words reminded me the power of everyday experiences. Here's another look (with a few added) at it in case you don't want to click around the top right corner of this webpage.
WHAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE AN ALIVE HUMAN BEING
climbing into my car and the radio clicks on
windows down, one hand out the window- wriggling fingers in the wind.
walks alone
walks with friends
dancing in an empty parking lot at sunset
singing.
when my voice is randomly raspy
running down a hill and I spread my arms
leaning my head back to look at the stars
long (for me) runs with sar and em
running into puddles of water but not getting blisters
remembering to stretch after the run
when my floor is clear of hair after a fresh sweep
new flowers in the windows
wearing my flower shaped earrings
dog-earring book pages
warm towels
color-blocked sweatpants
peter mcpoland updates from gabe
sun after the rain
that golden shine when the sun sets
surprise coffees
when the Bluetooth actually works
surprise notes (of love)
Thai food (green curry)
seeing a weeping willow
Frida Kahlo self-portraits
being out of breath
the “hot tea in your chest” feeling that lasts minutes after the last sip.
the first sip of the first cup of coffee of the day
catching and chasing the sunrise
embracing someone you love
scones and coffee
driving South, West, anywhere but North
two-armed hugs
finding an old song and remembering where you were and what you felt as you listened for the first time
goodnight moon and stars and sky and sun and everyone : )
MR HAIG
This helped
Why can't I find the balance of time management? We simply prioritize what we want to do most and do it, I personally believe theses should always be last in these lists
How are there only 24 hours in a day? The good ole Egyptians decided that this was the best way to split up a day, they were a big fan of things divisable by 12
Why do I feel so heavy in the head? Internal pressure in the head often leads to feelings of heaviness and fatigue
What makes friends drift apart? lovers? what lasts forever? Growth. My favorite analogy is that of plants growing, sometimes if two plants grow too close together when they are not compatible…
