it's 2 years from today, "Constant Headache" by Joyce Manor comes on. You're going to be okay, you >are< okay.

i've been thinking about blogging a lot this week. when i look back at the poems i've written on here or song lyrics i've shared that spoke to me at that place in time, i am always so happy that i posted it because: i like writing and i like sharing other written work when those words describe how i feel better than i can. but mostly i think writing and sharing songs or lyrics and even photos help me self care and practice anti-dissociative work. and this year is all about taking care of myself and learning how to do that and what it actually means to take care of yourself.

usually, i'd treat this blog as an imperative step to write with when i am anxious and i'm going to keep doing that, but i'm going to post a lot of photos ive taken and style inspirations. i'm taking a huge book on when i was 16-18 reading "style rookie" Tavi's blogger from when she was active. it's going to take me a while to figure out the outline and steps for every entry. but i want to use these entries as references to show my therapist when i need to remind myself how i felt during an experience.

so that's my introduction self-ish note. i expect myself to keep up with writing in this because of the reasons stated above. i expect myself to practice self acceptance and self growth from this blog and among other things. cool.

i'm posting this dated 3/11/18, but it's 3/12/18 for layout aesthetic reasons.
