In June, I was dusting myself off and rebuilding. Did anyone else feel extremely depressed in April and May? It was like an otherworldly depression that just crept up on me—no motivation, inhaling sweets like a vacuum, always sleepy, and all of it made me feel super ugly. That’s never me. Thick or thin, I’m always the baddest bitch on the planet, so this was a really bad funk. It’s months like June that always fill me with gratitude for my life. I’m thankful for all the amazing people and things that lift my spirits to the heavens.
As much as my INTJ/January Capricorn tendencies can make me overthink, my loving community of friends and family always cures me.
Blessed to have love in all aspects of my life!
Life:
Life has been great; I was just blind to it for the past two months. I was just a moody queen brooding alone in my room for no real reason. My community is the greatest, and the only reason I'm always able to dust myself off is because they lift my spirits so high. I'm truly grateful!
Health:
Unfortunately, all the well-adjusted girlies are right: eating right and working out daily really does make you feel better. My mental health has improved so much by walking 3 miles daily, getting outside, and feeling the sun on my face... I hate to admit it, but they were fucking right. I love a good bed-rotting day as much as the next bitch, but in moderation.
Food:
A bowl of Greek yogurt a day keeps the doctors away. For some reason, in my adult life, I’ve been morally opposed to yogurt for no reason. But now, I'm entering my grown woman era, and a bowl of vanilla Greek yogurt with a couple of turkey sausages on the side and a black coffee is the perfect breakfast!
Podcast:
-I've been obsessed with the Joe Budden Podcast since the Kendrick and Drake beef and haven't missed an episode in months. I haven't been this hooked on something since college, but this podcast has truly stood the test of time for me. Problematic? Yes. Entertaining? Absolutely.
Music:
-Enough said.
Movie:
-EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH THIS DOCUMENTARY ASAP.
Love you!
