Some days can be so heavy.

​

I have this habit where even when I feel down, I try not to dwell on it. I don’t let it ruin my whole mood. I’ve learned to move past things that make me sad pretty quickly, especially when I’m outside. I just push it to the side and focus on something that isn’t falling apart.

Because life can be tough, and if you keep your eyes fixed on the harsh parts, you will end up bitter.

That was me today. I was really down until I called my bubugaga. We talked for over an hour, debriefing and unpacking everything that had been weighing on us.

What stood out to me was how light I felt afterwards. It was like a rush of relief, like the fog cleared a little, like I suddenly had room to breathe again.

The call didn’t hand me solutions to the things troubling me, but it made the load feel lighter and the overwhelming feel a little less suffocating.

Dearest reader, sometimes all you need is a good laugh, a silly joke, a therapeutic conversation or even just a one hour call.

And maybe you are wondering if talking about your issues actually fixes anything. The truth is that it rarely solves the problem itself, but it puts you in a better frame of mind to do the real work and pull yourself out of whatever mess you are in.

So when life starts to feel like too much, take a break and talk to someone. You don’t even have to explain everything. You can talk around it, laugh about something random, and still feel the same wave of relief.

Try this and thank me later
