sadly nothing good happened today.... I was feeling lighter a bit after I was done with all exams (even if they didn't go well)yesterday.... towards end everything went down the drain.

@skylar just think any unusual thing? Or you must have eaten something you like very much? Or else you would have cooked?

nah, had breakfast which was my sister's fav.I slept during the day, and skipped launch, at dinner was something my father brought for us (today's her b'day). I wanted to have something else - but I'm saving right now. I'm grateful for whatever I got tho!

hiya!!
ms_cookie
@skylar And why are you sad now??
skylar
there is no specific reason why I feel so... disappointment, anger or guilt that I could do much better but I didn't.i dunno yet
Recovering_babe
@skylar are you disappointed in yourself? because of the exams??
ms_cookie

@skylar.. it's good that you can point out your emotions.. I kinda struggle with recognising them.. now you can go to it's roots.. find out what's causing them.
deep_thinker
😂 its possible yaar
skylar
if been since I've been feeling like this way, I guess I grew up feeling like this... roots go back to my childhood or parents +fam... sadly can't cut roots. @recovering babe
Recovering_babe
@skylar no one has an ideal childhood. you can talk about it or write about it.. how you felt growing up? not what happened.. but what you actually felt.. unheard.. unseen... or something else..

I'm really working on my EQ.. an there's a hella work going on about myself it's like I'm investigating myself! and yes writing helps... but it so happens that I've associated my writing ans my creative writing and journaling (all possible forms of writing) to when I'm extremely sad since I was in 10th... so i write only when I'm sad. Becoming harder day by day to journal or write as a form of expression for anything apart from sadness...
skylar
writing helped me for like 3-4yrs, I started when I was in 8th grade... it kinda became ineffective when I was in 11th

I know... I kinda stopped writing everything... poems articles.. I've started with journaling for the last 10days though... only self help stuff. purely copy pasted from Instagram helping reels 😂😂
Recovering_babe
anyways.. if you wanna talk about your childhood.. or parental pressure or sibling issues.. I'm all ears.
skylar
highly relatable... I ditched writing, now I'm a book addict... if I'm happy I read , if I'm depressed I read... if I'm celebrating I read, if I've a break down I read. lol
skylar
I talk.... but it doesn't help much. I'm still trying to figure what will help me.
