The last few months have been hectic in all sorts of ways, and I’ve definitely lost track in my New Year’s resolutions that I promised myself to keep at due to my poor mental health. Instead of getting further down in the dumps about it, I’ve decided to make sure that I’m spending my days off doing things that make me happy so that I feel motivated to get back on track again. Indulging in my hobbies, visiting with friends, cooking delicious meals… All that stuff that’s good for the soul is what I’m focusing on right now. The past few months have sucked, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the year has to!

🥰 best of luck!! I can relate and the way I see it is that it’s just about the general direction you’re going in and making the most of it one day at a time

I’ve been feeling kinda down about my physical appearance for the past month (but really, let’s be real, for the past few years) and I’m stuck home for the holidays w/o a gym membership so I’ve been relying on my sister but now she’s sick. So I have been feeling really lazy.
I’ve been trying to take care of myself in other ways. I have started a better skincare routine and taking medicine for my acne. I am drinking only water, and trying to eat healthy meals, but I‘ve been failing in the snacking department. I am trying to be more food conscious.
I’ve journaled a lot about my goals for this year. Its my first year in my 20s and there are a lot of bad habits and mindsets I want to work on so I can stop making myself suffer all the time.
Well thats it.

✷ wear more fun outfits, find joy in dressing up — my New Year’s resolution last year was to wear more fun tights and I enjoyed that very much… I’m thinking like hair clips or something might be my thing this year
✷ make new friends / nurture the smaller scale friendships I do have — this one sounds a bit pathetic but it’s been a rough year! its too hard out there to feel lonely
✷ make the effort to go to exhibitions — especially those by my friends, and share photos, hype them up, I value that so much when people do it for me as weird as it feels to want the attention
✷ keep a physical journal — I really like making scrapbooks but they feel like they need an occasion, hopefully a journal will feel more day to day and record small moments
✷ I used Daylio (mood tracker) for over 365 days between 2023 - 2024 but gave up when I got too busy — I’d like to start that again in 2025 because tracking my moods was good for me to remember that I haven’t Always Been Sad
✷ take my meds every day — so stupid that I don’t already do this but getting really poorly this year has shaken me. It’s so easy to forget but I wanna be well so I can enjoy myself !!
✷ eat more fish — I love fish and also good for me
✷ allow myself time to play games and have fun !!!! I will finish pokémon omega ruby and maybe sapphire too WHO KNOWS

Over the last few years, I have noticed that I get sad around the holidays, which is new for me. Last year was particularly difficult. So I started small by working out for 5-10 minutes a day, gradually increasing my time when I felt able.
Throughout this year I have taken the same approach and applied it to drawing, reading, and playing guitar. It gently gets me out of a state of rotting or being deep in negative feelings.
For me, intentionally choosing activities that will fuel me has helped. Since depression can make doing anything feel so difficult, I try not to put pressure on myself to achieve any specific goals with said activities.
I hope this made sense & I hope you feel better soon!

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
