Hmm

It occurs to me that my current down-in-the-dumps-ness might also be related to my current reading material. Which I am enjoying immensely! But tonally it's on the more tense end of the spectrum of what I enjoy reading these days, and so is my current audiobook, and since my mood tends to be heavily informed by whatever media I'm consuming at any given time...

...I may need to take a break and switch to a comfort re-read.

(Which sucks, because I genuinely do want to read the rest of this book and find out what happens right now. But! Emotional health first.)

I feel that often! Especially in the last few years... Hope you find something more cheering to read, and can return to those ones when it's the right time :)

Maintaining an even keel

...requires deliberate planning, for sure.

That’s where fanfiction can come in handy. (Although there's lots of angsty stuff there as well).
