Hello All,
It’s been several months since my last post and I wanted to let you know that I’m still here! Coming back from New Zealand was a pretty difficult for me. I came back and dropped right into a deep depression which culminated in me recognizing my anxiety, but thankfully I have a great family and amazing friends who have been helping me feel very supported.
While dealing with these emotions it’s been very important for me to continue doing the things I love, i.e. listening to music, spending time outside, exercising, cleaning, and spending time with my family. Although somedays are harder than others it’s really comforting to know I have the support of those around me. Depression can be difficult to cure and sometimes it feels like it won’t ever get better, but I’m powering through and doing the work. And it feels good…most of the time.
One practice I have yet to make into a habit is posting on this blog. I posted a lot more than I ever have while I was traveling and I would like to continue that into my day to day life. With the exception of course that I will be escaping reality for parts of the summer to work at Camp Unalayee, but when I come back I will make an effort to write about my experiences.
Speaking of the summer, I will be heading to High Sierra Music Festival during the Fourth of July weekend with my family and extended family. I am thrilled about this! I haven’t been to a music festival in several years and the last time I was at High Sierra I was about to become a Junior in high school, so it’s been quite awhile.
So here’s to posts! I want to bring back my “What I’m Listening to” section and write about any live shows I’ve attended. Thank you to those who have still stuck around even when my posts are few and far between.
Cheers!
