Perhaps you could try journaling? Try to define the things you can and cant change. Maybe try to look at them from a different lens. I also find that reading helps me a lot. Getting a different perspective on a shared feeling and learning through the characters. You could also share your thoughts with someone you trust as we probably all feel similarly.

I think one of the most important things you can do to cope is to allow yourself a space where you think about life in general, and your life in specific without making it a chore. I also think sometimes the more unusual equivalent of a classic solution is what will work best for you. Commonplace journaling and/or scrapbooking lets you collect things that may feel relevant to you from quotes, to photos, to ideas or observations, and you can do it in a way that you like. I found that for me, it lets me get my feelings out about how I see the world at that point in time, in a way that allows me to refer back to it. It may not give you a sense of control in the sense that events happen in our lives, but it will give you a sense of control in the sense that you contemplate your reactions, and your feelings, and gain control over those. Control over those will then allow you to feel comfort about the future because then you will teach yourself how to think about how you move through the future.

This could be one of those rare things that – somehow – reminds you who you are, or who you used to be, those parts you thought were gone. (And trust me, there will be threads. So many threads.) I’ve learned, too, that there are whole stretches of life where you’ve been a stranger to yourself for so long that admitting it feels terrifying, insane even. But without that one thing to confess to, to get honest with – to untangle the mess of ordinary, maddening thoughts – you might never know what’s actually there, buried under the static.

The other day I went to a coffee shop with the intention of reading my book but instead spent about two hours writing in my journal.
I’m not a great journaler. It’s the kind of relationship where I’ll pick it up when I’m going through something, be really consistent for a couple days, and then once I’m feeling lighter I won’t touch it for months.
I’m definitely not in the easiest season of life right now, but im not actively shittingscreamingcryingthrowingup about anything at the moment. For some reason though, despite my mentally “up” state of being, I was desperate to write down everything I’ve been thinking and feeling in the past couple weeks.
I honestly think it’s why the past couple days I haven’t posted anything on this app is because anything I would’ve mused about I already wrote in my journal lol. I even considered just taking a picture of the journal pages and posting them here but that felt too intimate? Maybe?

Always a nice feeling to complete a new piece. I feel like I’m finally starting to build a collection of work that feels my own.

I’ve mostly been shooting with Ilford hp5. It’s 400iso so probably not meant for landscapes but alas, it’s all I had. This is a picture from Switzerland. Kodak Gold is also my fav colour film.

-Member of the wedding by Carson McCullers. Made me feel like a tween again which was unexpectedly beautiful. Her more popular book The heart is a lonely hunter is very good too!
-Jess+Moss by Clay Jeter is a really beautiful movie. Gorgeous colors and cinematography and heartwarming story.
-recently watched Fried Green Tomatos, also very heartwarming and beautiful. All about love and interpersonal relationships.
-Second Place by Rachel Cusk also gives some great food for thought on the search for meaning.
