Hey! Have been dealing with some heavier emotions lately: confusion, loneliness, frustration, guilt. I know, 'tis simply a part of life -- some weeks will be better than others -- but what really helps me is to 1) have a space to talk about it (be it with others, or myself e.g. by journaling) and process why I'm feeling what I'm feeling, and 2) do things that take me away from my worries and remind me that I am more than any sole identity that I carry (e.g. as a worker, as a daughter, as a friend, etc). What you see in the video is something that I always do (i.e. self diagnose that I'm feeling low and doing something to help me feel better, like going to the farm). Don't know why I was suddenly inspired to make my this week's preoccupations into a video, but I hope you find some comfort in it somehow :)
By the way, if you're in Singapore, come visit us on our farm ‪@groundupinitiative‬ ! It's a beautiful space, a beautiful community, and it's a lovely place to spend a day if you ever need some space away from the busy-ness of life :) Hope to see you there one day!
