“I ain’t proud of

all the punches that I’ve thrown,

In the name of someone

I no longer know,

For the shame of being young

Drunk, and alone

Traffic lights

And the transmitter radio

—I don’t like it when

they threw me in the car!

I gave your name

As my emergency phone call

Honey, it rang and rang

Even the cops

Thought you were wrong for

Hanging up

I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk—

I’ll die for you”

- dial drunk, Noah Kahan

Used to tell me you'd pray for me

You were praying for my downfall

You were digging a grave for me

We were sharing the same four walls

Used to tell me you'd pray for me

You were praying for my downfall

You were digging a grave for me

We were sharing the same four walls

And you

Said I'm the one who's wanted

For all the fires you started

You knew the house was burning down

I had to get out

The addition of the colors really makes this for me. Yes, life can seem like a loop… because we live within a cycle of a year on this planet. But each year has a different color, flavor, texture, feeling from previous years. We are growing and changing. Nothing ever stays the same. You cannot step in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and you are not the same person.

taking care of yourself sometimes means steering your thoughts away from worries. when you start feeling anxious about something you can't avoid, it's important to catch yourself and switch your thinking to something else. people always talk about confronting fears head-on, but sometimes it's as simple as saying, "Just go for it and stop overthinking - even if not overthinking means not letting yourself think about it until you have to."

and switch your thinking to something else.

This is the part that helps me the most. Intentionally thinking about a neutral or nice thing helps way more than just trying to not think about the thing that makes me anxious. Especially when it's, like, midnight and I'm trying to fall asleep or something.

And remember the point isn’t to avoid something forever, it’s to keep yourself from being overwhelmed in the moment so you can return to it at a more resourced time.

Sometimes just waiting until we are well rested and our mind is thinking clearer, will put you in a better place to process those thoughts.

And sometimes it’s a journey to get to the point of being able handle your feelings.

Just remember you can heal.

"How will I survive this missing? How do others do it? People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the world staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives."

– The Sky is Everywhere, Novel by Jandy Nelson

“And I love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks and I Saw your mom she forgot that I existed and It’s half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I’ll drink alcohol ‘til my friends come home for Christmas And I’ll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I’m split in half, but that’ll have to do, ooh, ooh”

If you haven't heard this song yet, please give it a listen. It's so good. I'm particularly drawn to this line:

"So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad, That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from Dad. No, I am no longer funny 'cause I miss the way you laugh. You once called me "forever," now you still can't call me back."

Help me think of a character for a fic based on this please it's driving me insane.
