learning to live


posted on November 27, 2024

bureaucracy in general really makes me anxious. because it’s like a machine that doesn’t really care about you. it’s people enforcing stupid rules, at least most of the time in this country.

i’ve talked a lot about it but i definitely overthink more than average. i know that nowadays that and anxiety are the norm instead of the exception, but i still think im worse than the average person.

anyways, to remedy that, i’ve tried to come up with an easy to remember, effective saying that i could just use as a rule whenever i’m in a really bad overthinking spree.

⠀⠀⠀

if you can’t do anything about it,

don’t worry about it.

⠀⠀

or something to that effect. it does seem to work. especially trying to visualize exactly what issues i can take active action on.

i have long term problems that can’t be solved by just overthinking and having anxiety about it on a daily basis. and doing so only has a negative effect on my life.

also, before i forget.

i’ve also found out that a lot of anxiety is made by lack of agency, or at least “feeling” the lack of agency. taking any decisions lately has been hard…

    È un mondo difficile
    E vita intensa
    Felicità a momenti
    E futuro incerto
    Il fuoco e l'acqua
    Con certa calma
    Serata di vento
    E nostra piccola vita
    E nostro grande cuore

    heya!
    since i'm too young to have an answer, here's a reply to the last part;
    i was talking to someone in discord, and i have a nice reply to it;
    sometimes, i feel like the world is blank
    and that nothing happens
    and i kinda just accept it
    because when something happens
    it's usually noted cuz it's bad
    and when i feel good
    i stare at those times
    and think
    "why did i feel like that?"
    "crying all night for no reason?"
    and realize i've been fine
    and that nothing is bad
    and that i was just in a bad mood
    you know, it feels like i'm staring at them again
    and that i'm being my own therapist
    or sm like that
    but i like to stare at them
    cuz then i feel better
    and have better self-control
    i've had lots of trust issues
    and that might be one of the reasons why i have many traumas
    cuz, yk, i don't feel good after
    and i feel like a sad bag, crying and crying in bed
    while having a reflection those of good times with them
    heh, i think that's really poetic of me.
    hopefully i can talk to u soon!
    btw, sorry for ignoring the page for 10 days. i forget about it.
    cya!!! ~kiki
