LINK: trust the process
Currently listening to: Summertime Sadness – Lana Del Rey
Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin’ like a snare
Honey, I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin’ scares me anymore (one, two, three, four)
What is an emotion that you are not comfortable with?
Prompt created by yours truly.
Feel free to use any prompts for October that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses
Oh, I could make a list of these emotions:
- vulnerable
- stupid
- needy
- scared
- grief
- guilty
- shame
- sadness
- dejected
- unprepared
- helpless
- regret
- dread
- embarrassment
- disappointment
- disgust
During these times, I like being alone so I can stew in my thoughts. Round and round I go and ruminate in my thoughts. I think about all the things that I did wrong and what I could have done better. I often internalize blame and/or practice self-criticism. I blame this on how I was raised, not just by my parents but also because of the Korean ways (collectivist social values, high societal expectations, historical pressures for survival and reputation management). I tell myself to trust the process or I try to reframe it as a lesson that I needed to learn.
And when I’m deep in my feels, I tend to listen to:
- Billie Eilish
- Lana Del Rey
- Morrissey
- Taylor Swift
- The Cranberries
