@DonkeyQuixotic It is an important aspect of being human to be able to experience our grief. The gratitude is that I’m feeling it as opposed to suppressing it or trying to pretend it isn’t real, which would ultimately be more harmful.
Asked my therapist today how to stop feeling so much grief and he said “I think it’s more a matter of addition than subtraction…feel it, and consider gratitude that you are able to feel it.”
I think what I need to do is stop being afraid to be myself in the classroom so to that end my song assignment for addressing emotional distress is going to be Psalm 23 bc in all sincerity that is my go-to meditation for emotional distress.
On Google during class considering transferring schools halfway through my first quarter bc why am I looking at slides about ethical nonmonogamy and polyamory
@EdwardVersaii I actually live in Jersey rn - I’m in grad school in Philly. It’s 25° back home today which is bordering getting cold enough for me to wear a scarf but really I wouldn’t until outdoors for a long time in subzero temps.
Jealous of knitters whose people actually like getting knitted stuff. 😭😂 None of the people I need to get gifts for for Christmas would actually like getting knitted stuff.
@PhilYanda The degree program is MA in Counseling and Music Therapy so we have a LOT of counseling courses bc we are eligible to pursue LPC when we’re done.
