no matter the scale, it is healthy to allow yourself to feel the weight of death and succumb to mourning. people close to you, versions of yourself from the past, millions of innocent souls under oppressive forms of control. all to be honored with spilled tears

strangers hugging, everyone ugly crying, thereâs something relieving about pouring a collective sorrow into something so tangible.
sort of lessens the weight of grief.

This is a little long winded and personal. Please forgive me.
It's been exactly one year since my great aunt passed away - she was a pillar of the family, a very intelligent and witty woman whom we all loved. She used to cut out stories from the newspaper/ magazines and mail them to me while I lived away, and she had the most incredible handwriting Iâve ever seen. She was, to use one of her favorite things to call me, a âreal mensch.â
Less than 48 hours after that, I got broken up with. We had been dating for almost two years. It was the healthiest relationship I had ever been in. Yet, we were laying in my teenage bedroom at my parents house, and she was crying. All I remember is thinking to myself âFIGHT for her you DUMB MOTHERFUCKER, you CANâT lose another womanâ - but I didnât. I was scared. And just like that, the best year of my life came crashing down in spectacular fashion.
Two extremely hard hits at once.
I had to keep moving forward. I didnât see any alternative. And as a result, I sank into what I can only describe as my own death spiral. Lots of cigs, lots of booze, lots of work, all to drown out the voices in my head telling me âmaybe this isnât a good idea.â
I didnât allow myself to MOURN then. To feel sad, to feel loss, and to work it out constructively and communally. Now, a year later, Iâm finally allowing myself to feel those emotions about both of those things. Finally crawling out of that death spiral. Mourning isnât weakness, nor is grief.
JustâŚif you havenât properly mourned something, anything, I recommend allowing yourself to. Keeping something like that inside, no matter how compartmentalized it may be, is a bad idea.

one of the most painful emotions and processes a living being can go through but also one that makes you appreciate life and people so much

extremely comforting to have a social media platform where the prevailing emotion is love and enthusiasm, wonderful to see everything my friends love and wonderful to express the love in my heart to like-minded souls

Especially the album Microphones in 2020. The kind of music that makes me feel like no matter what I do my art will be worth it all (which is on average true) and that it will always be a part of my life (alongside the sentiment that, just by surviving, I am creating art)
