Dear Maya,


Today was great, but before I tell you about my day, let me tell you about a struggle I have. 


Anytime I have a cringy moment or a bad moment I link that moment to the object or song that caused it or was present during it. I sung a certain song badly in front of a bunch of people and now I can't listen to that song without feeling really ashamed and being mad ad myself for bassically being myself. I really need to work on it because it is driving me crazy. Anytime I tell someone, people tell me everybody makes mistakes. I know that, but it still makes me want to rip my head off anytime I get a memory like that. I know logically, I shouldn't feel ashamed but my emotions tell me otherwise.


My sister is doing really great now. Since I am her roommate she has been getting better. She smiles more and she even filled in her whole day yesterday. She told me she might get over her depression. I still told her to be carefull. Recovery is not a straight line.


But my day was really good. I do an internship at a retirement home for elderly people with dementia. I took it upon myself to clean out and reorganise drawers and closets around the home. I am an intern so I have more time to do that. Yesterday and today I cleaned two closets in the room of an elderly gentleman who saved all the clutter from his previous house. He was so happy! It really made my day. I am also almost done with my assignments. Only 4 more practical and 1 theoretical assignment and I am done!


That was it. 


Goodnight, don't let the mirrorman bite...

I think many of us have this issue. A song stores the weird incident or emotion and while we listen to it we go through exactly the same thing again. It may be okay in case of good memories but pretty painful with bad memories.
