Random Study Hall Question -

Do you keep any kind of journal? How often do you make entries? How does it help you? Do you reread entries?
I keep a journal of German vocab, although I don’t update (or reference…) it as often as I should.
I also keep a list of good recipes I tried so I can find them again. That’s not really a journal, though, I guess?

Nope. I’ve tried a few times and never got to double digit days of use before I quit or forgot. I’m a huge reader, but don’t enjoy writing šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

On the other hand, if I’m really upset about something I will write down notes or thoughts. It helps clear my head. It’s not something that happens often though.

Thanks everyone for answering this! I am someone who sporadically journals. I've never known how to phrase entries. It feels like you're supposed to write letters to yourself? Mine always look like lists of sporadic thoughts, feelings and occurrences. It helps just to get thoughts out of my head. Like... if I need to rethink them, I can look them up there and I don't have to keep holding on to them. As someone whose mind is always a hundred miles ahead (anxiety anyone?), someone who moves past things easily and is slightly forgetful - it helps to have a touchpoint for validation, reminders and finding patterns.

It's just interesting to see how people do things. I'm sure I'll ask about laundry next. ;)

I have all of my journals. I was going through one from 2008.

It helps me organize my thoughts and feelings. So much of it is just mundane and nothing that it has to get out of me and go somewhere. I try to be consistent but it gets harder the more challenging my thoughts get and then I’m very avoidant.

My therapist guides me back and makes it sort of like homework, which is helpful, but sometimes it doesn’t feel genuine šŸ™ƒ

Study Hall pervs and lovers -

Life is a real bitch and effectively putting me in a little time out for awhile. I'm trying to be better at asking for lifelines when I need them. So if you're feeling like sending a hug, a pretty, some art!, a funny, a song or a prayer (if you're the praying type), I'd really appreciate the distraction and the thought.

I'm sure everything will be fine and I'll be back to my usual tomfoolery soon and I am not trying to be a bummer but I'm a big believer in the power of community, even this forgotten sex shop dumpster of a community. ;)

If you've sent me a message, I appreciate you more than you know (really) - just be patient with me to respond (and send more sexy bits šŸ˜)

That sucks to hear. Self care always comes first. Whatever you're going through, I hope it ends soon. In the mean time give it hell.

I was checking in with the delightful LadyL this morning and I think I stumbled upon the very best analogy ever. (One of my love languages is analogies. The other is lists.) I think when you go through an all hands on deck, prolonged emergency situation - health or otherwise - it can feel like you're in a terrarium. Enclosed in glass where you can see the world buzzing on beyond but you're main focus is managing the little habitat you find yourself in now. I know several of you have gone or are going through similar things and I wonder if that feeling resonates with you?

Anyway, popping in here and finding snuggly animals, sexy mermaids, sexy baths, PMs, mentions, and thoughts... it's like someone dropped some new twigs or a cardboard box (am I a gerbil?) and a little bit of the outside world comes into my terrarium for me to interact with and I don't feel quite so isolated.

Is this an overly sentimental, slightly dramatic ramble? Absolutely. But it's also absolutely true. I hope life is being kind to everyone. Thanks to those who have reached out and made it hard for me to be a hermit crab. I hope to be that kind of of persistent support for yall if you ever need it.

(Gerbil or hermit crab? I need to settle on a terrarium type šŸ˜‰ )

Gekko. You need heat and light, lots of it, plus just the right amounts of water, shade, food, stimulation, privacy.... Plus, they're neat! :D
