I channeled my inner teenage girl and made use of cute notebooks and gel pens and made a daily planner with a rainbow colored list of healthy activities to check off as I complete them each day. I'm working on making it into a fun self-care daily planner / visual journal. It will be a creative outlet as well as give a sense of accomplishment as I check off daily tasks. At the end of each month I'll be able to see how I made use of my time.
Promising Young Woman is my new favorite film. It truly healed some parts of me. You can definitely tell it's written, directed, and produced by a woman. It doesn't eroticize or fetishize rape like all the man-made films do, and it's not gory or triggering. The dialogues were realistic. It was crafted perfectly, beginning to end, with fun visual details throughout. And not a dull moment. It's sort of a feminist thriller / dark comedy / rom com. I've never seen anything quite like it. Oh my Goddess just watch it!
I started using Insight Timer for gratitude lists so I guess this place is mainly a stream-of-consciousness diary to blather on about whatever is on my mind, to self validate, self analyze, or vent, depending what I need.
It's that time of day where the downstairs neighbor starts pounding the walls for several hours? At least there's a predictable routine to it. So I am off to be with my noise canceling headphones and music. Happy Monday.
Also I fucked up my knee which I have no memory of but there's a big red mark like a bruise and I had to walk with a limp all day because it hurts. But as long as I stay still it's fine. I'm sure it'll be better tomorrow.
