Some days I’m high, some days I’m low, and a rare few days am I just even keel. I used to be really resistant to that and try to manufacture more high days, but I’ve come to realize emotions are important. All of them. Like Unikitty in The Lego Movie, if I stuff the “bad” ones down too much, they’re going to come exploding out sooner or later!
When I’m in my low days, I’m especially susceptible to feel like everything is terrible, the world is ending, I’m failing at everything, and nothing is ever going to get better. I have a friend that I text right then:
Me: I need some vibes. (Good, love, magic...whatever I feel like that moment)
My person: 🌄🎆💞💫 (or any other magical, vibey emoticons she chooses)
Me: 🤲🏻 (open hands to catch the vibes)
We do this for each other whenever we are feeling blue or mad or whatever we just might need vibes for that day. Sometimes we explain what we are feeling, sometimes we don’t, and we just give that space to each other. Something full of goodness and magic happens in that moment for me. It’s like I’m seen, and I am reminded I am loved and cared for no matter what. The lows lose their power, but I give them the space they need too, and I feel like that helps.
Maybe you need a good vibes person too. If you can’t find anyone, just text me and I’ll send you some. You’re loved, you matter, you’re not alone. 💞
