On Therapy

Today was an interesting case study of relationships I have with people.

In the morning, Tina had to deal with my complete emotional breakdown after one of my projects broke right before my final critique. I tried really hard not be so distraught but I don't think I succeeded. Instead of being annoyed with me (EVEN after I made her come to school early), Tina pulled out a special dark Hershey bar and homemade muffins, sat down with me, and listened as I had a major BF (Mean Girls anyone?).

In the afternoon, Chelsey was distraught about her story for writing class (my art class and her writing class are eerily similar). I was going to head to my room to study but ended up talking it out with her and I really enjoyed it. I hope I made her feel just a little better the same way Tina made me feel better just a few hours earlier.

I have two little 'sibs'. One of them lost 2 pages of work from his laptop randomly restarting, so I made lunch for him and hung out with him for a little while. Later that night, my other sib came to my apartment for his surprise birthday party, where we presented him gifts and an apple pie I made.

Later that night, Jezli and I had an EPIC, with a majorly capital E, conversation. We talked about a lot of things but one thing I really appreciated about it was when she told me she understood my VIS project. Honestly, I couldn't care less if the whole world hates my project because I know that someone I care about understands, and that means more than the darn world.

I think in the end, my favorite part of the day was all the therapy. Therapy from a true friend, therapy to a friend in need, food therapy with my brothers (from other mothers), therapy with a valued friend. Mmmmn, who needs rehab when you've got such amazing friends?

  2. I should apologize for being late! I felt really bad about it because if I'd only been there a little bit earlier we could have actually dropped everything off :/ aww yes I do admit that I've never seen you so distraught before and I was a bit nervous (DEFINITELY NOT annoyed! but a little anxious) about what I should do! however, it was nothing for me to listen and if it lifts the burden off a little, i'm very glad to be there for you :) also, i'm very glad that your day got a lot better :) the good thing about lows is that there is always room for things to get better :D and i def agree!! there's nothing better than therapy for/from friends and family!
