Sitting here in my college dorm, sipping hot chocolate, I realize I'm lonely. And in more than just the "oh I'm not with anyone right now," sort of way. But in the "I have nobody that I resonate with on a heavier level" sort of way. Which is entirely untrue, but hey everyone feels bad sometimes huh? So as I sit here, contemplating life and warming my belly, I'm gonna write my thoughts on how I get that sickening feeling off my back.
Talk to your best friend
Whether it's on the phone, texting, skype, whatever you use. Your best friend (yes, you ONLY have one, that's literally the meaning of "Best") should always have your back. Even if they're roughly 90 miles away, talking to someone who you treasure deeply should make you feel good. Mainly because when you go them with emotional crap, they still manage to make you laugh with their trademark stupid humor.
Take a walk
Eh, y'know, even though it's freezing outside (at least where I am, dangit California and Florida, you lucky dogs) walking about clears my head. It's really hard to sit in a room and not feel constricted. When I'm out and about, even if it's by myself, I tend to get a sense of the world around me, and my thoughts go. Honestly being cold kind of helps, because a lot of my thoughts are "F*** it's cold, F*** it's cold, F*** it's cold" and that only gives me so much room in my head for other thoughts, which have to be happy or else I'm just cold again!
Commit to a hobby
Alright, so I'll be honest. I've been swamped by a lot of homework, people, and just doing nothing sometimes. I'm sure a lot of us have! But if you ever get the blues and need a pick me up, nothing works better to take your mind off of things than getting back into something you love. (I promise I'm not playing a video game while writing this....)
Watch a YouTuber
Everybody has a youtube channel they like! Whether it's a few dingus like dudes who play games or a skit show, something feels very human about a YouTube channel. They feel more like humans than a lot of celebrities, and a lot of the time it can make you feel like you're with friends, because you grow to know them a lot more than typical silver screen celebrities.
So maybe I'm not the best therapist out there. But heck I'm as much as an emotional person as everyone else, and sometimes it helps to hear others are feeling the struggle too! Don't worry, friends, you'll make it through this. Everything passes.
