island on the coast

Why is it that I only have something to say when I’m supposed to be doing something else?….

I keep having vivid dreams about seemingly random people.

I’m not sure why.

I feel stuck in my own head, anxiety preventing me from going places, joining clubs, looking people in the eyes.

I keep telling myself to take baby steps.

Honestly I’m in a much better place than I have been.

I’ve learned a lot about myself coming up from the dark times.

Let’s hope it stays that way. 🙂

I’m alone almost all the time, I don’t even really mind…but I can feel myself retreating to an unhealthy place.

In other news,

Native American studies really gets to me.

After class I have to do something to release all of the tension, the sadness.

It’s heavy, and just keeps getting heavier.

I’m glad I took it, but when I’m in a fragile mental state, I’m in tears for 30 minutes about massacres that happened in the 1800s.

I still feel sort of crazy.

but not too crazy.

If you want to feel worse, consider the question of cultural continuity within an oral culture with deep stories and traditions, when the population is decimated by contact with diseases to which they had poor immunity.
