🌊 the problem with too much repetition

say for example you have a ritual of wishing someone peace, you say "peace be with you" every single day upon greeting someone on the street

but if this ritual becomes too common and is repeated too often it eventually gets taken for granted, it becomes unconscious and therefore loses its conscious meaning and eventually people forget what it was originally adopted for in the first place

this is dangerous! because if the ritual exists for a reason, it's important to preserve the reason for the solution just as much as the solution is important

in other words, documenting problems is just as important as documenting solutions!!!! if all you do is document solutions you're going to end up creating a situation where all the solutions get taken for granted and then you're set up for a huge fall from grace

beware of documenting all the solutions, but none of the problems...! this is when people start to take all the solutions for granted until one day somebody decides to say "ok i've had enough of these boring old solutions" and then they literally created a bajillion problems nobody could remember how to solve anymore

THIS IS WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO REINVENT SOLUTIONS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

because if you don't they will get taken for granted and eventually someone blind to the value of what they have in front of them will make the mistake of throwing away paradise in favor of some more interesting looking disaster

so it's safer, to intentionally explore fictional disasters constantly specifically so you can learn from them and so you can keep everyday solutions fresh and new in everyone's eyes

Day 3 of getting my sh!t together

Hii!! It is finally the third day of getting my life together. I still can't believe I have been consistent for three days! 👀🫠

Okay, my day began pretty late today. I guess the chamomile tea worked. Although I missed yoga class, I did yoga at home as per my daily yoga routine. I obviously did not have breakfast but indulged in an ice cream sandwich 😋 along with black coffee. Mom cooked her special Chicken in lemon butter sauce and I had it with a piece of chapati and salad. It was heavenly. I watched another episode of Queen of Tears and had to report for work. Ahh, all my friends have a holiday for Eid. 🥲 But, it's okay. I honestly want a vacation, haven't been on one for a long time. Need to plan something soon. What else, what else, what else??? Ahh, did not go for a walk. I honestly don't know when will be the next time I go out for a walk. I feel so uncomfortable stepping out in my neighborhood alone, IDK why! I don't have any problem wandering around in any other place. It's just this area.

Anyways, that's it. Here's my menu for the day:

Ahh, I forgot to mention this every day, I start my day with a glass of warm lemon water with chia seeds that have been soaked overnight.

Breakfast:

1)Black coffee

2)Ice-cream sandwich 😋🫠

Lunch:

1)Roti

2)Chicken in lemon butter sauce

3)Salad

Evening Snack:

1)Black coffee (I wasn't feeling hungry since I had a late lunch)

Dinner:

1)Chicken salad with yogurt dressing (This is honestly so refreshing and fulfilling. I drizzle it with some hot sauce and it is sooo good)

Pre-bed

Chamomile green tea (forgot to click so here's the empty cup🫠)

Here's my song recommendation for the day

I love the kdrama and this ost so much 💗

I redesigned some of my OCs' Power Form

Garçon Cupidon Jinx

Old design

This is what they both looked like before

I didn't like it cuz they weren't:

Colour coded right

Looked right

The designs seemed to generic to me

They didn't represent well of what I had in mind

So I redesigned them to fix my mistakes

Trixie Mixie Mr. Valentine

New design

Shout-out the @color-palettes for helping me find the colours I wanted and liked

I also fixed the proportions on some accessories, hats, etc

Gave them more unique but not too busy designs

and uh....Yeah I like my newer designs ALOT more

I also renamed them cuz I didn't think the names fit very well

I don't need you. I don't need you.

You broke me Now I have to fix myself Because you never fixed yourself And didn't care about the consequences About the effect it has on me

I shattered. I broke down. I lost.

You don't see me You never will

So this is my goodbye.

poem 4: my need to be needed. cont.

I’ve had an unhealthy perception of loyalty for a while, and I’m trying to fix it so it doesn’t leak into the other areas of my life. But it gets hard at times because I’ve created this idea in my mind that if i’m not needed, then I’m not loved.

And this isn’t true it all. It’s just not true.

I find myself trying to convince myself of the truth too often these days. At times, I wonder if all I’m thinking is really as false as it’s been so far.

And if I’ve got it as wrong as I think I do, will I ever get it right? Will I ever be right enough to be in a healthy relationship?

(Is it about fixing yourself before you meet your soulmate, or is it about fixing each other together? Do we really even need fixing in the first place? Should I wait for someone to fit my puzzle piece perfectly? Will I be waiting for a long time, then? Should I find someone who fits it just enough to work? But will I lose myself in the process?)

I have no idea. All I know is I can’t go on like this. And I’ll do everything in my power to fix the damage I’ve caused myself, with or without my soulmate.

Because at the end of the day, I’m the only one who’ll be stuck with me for the rest of my life.

My problem all winter is that I don’t have enough energy to both go to work and focus on my multitude of creative projects. But now that it’s spring, I am getting things together. Mark my words.

Day 2 of getting my sh!t together!

It is the second day of getting my life together, and although it wasn't perfect, it was still consistent. I am an insomniac, so sleep doesn't come easily to me without any help. I did not take my supplements or drink chamomile tea last night, which generally helped me to sleep. The supplements are usually made up of lavender and other herbs that help relax your nerves.

It works for me. So, I tossed and turned till 4 in the morning, as a result of which I could not go for a walk in the morning. But, I woke up just in time for my yoga class and joined it. I don't really enjoy it, but doing yoga makes me feel better throughout the day. It also helps me with sore muscles and body aches. I also feel very calm and at peace while doing it.

However, unlike yesterday, work was good. I managed to get a lot done and also binged on a couple of episodes from Queen of Tears. I'm so hooked on it. But, I can't watch anything at a stretch so I take breaks in between. It was a decent day but I wasn't feeling my best. I can't figure out why.

Anyways, now let's come to food. Since I woke up late, I wasn't in the mood for breakfast but I still ate something and lunch was a fulfilling Bengali meal, it was so yummy. Dinner was light and hearty. Also, I drank chamomile tea now, so hopefully I can sleep.

Breakfast:

1) Ice cream sandwich (I know not the healthiest option but I love it)

2) Black coffee

Morning Snack: I got snacky right before heading to shower and that's when I had some leftover white potato curry aka shada alur torkari! It's so yummy. There are days when I eat this for dinner by itself.

Lunch

1) Brown rice

2) Fish curry

3) Roasted papad curry or papor er torkari

4) Salad

Evening Snack:

1) Grapes (I had to heavily edit the image as the one I clicked sucks)

2) Black coffee

3) 1 biscuit

Dinner:

I had some chicken ham so I boiled some corn and stirred it with the ham in some butter and pepper. I then put together a salad with the buttered corn and ham, cucumbers, onions, and green chilies, sprinkled some garlic salt, pepper, and chat masala. Served with a spoonful of relish on top. This really put my day together. It was so comforting.

Last but not the least, I had a cup of chamomile tea.

Oh, here's my choice for song of the day-

Confession time: I love myself so much, but sometimes I struggle with self-respect. It's a journey of finding myself and growing. I am accepting my flaws, learning from Saturn, and taking a deeper appreciation for my self-worth. 🌟

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

#cw: suicidal ideation #cw: suicide #cw: self harm #cw: mental health #cw: depression #i made the balloon the main representation of my self destructive urges for a reason but im not going to explain it #i tried to keep a lot of the details in this vague #it would be my worst nightmare if this comic encouraged someone to hurt themselves #so. please dont #for a long time even the thought of making this comic felt so insipid and narcissistic #with the state of the world as it is #having the only threat to your life be yourself felt so privileged and trite and shameful #but doing this comic made me sit down and process things in full #and im just. very grateful i didn't give in to my thoughts back when i sincerely felt i'd be more useful to the world dead #i also feel the need to say that this wont represent everyone's battle with mental illness. its unfortunately different for all of us #there is no fix-all #and im afraid this might be one of those comics that either resonates a lot or misses the target by a mile #i made it for myself foremost. and now that its done im glad i did it #thank you for reading #and please stay alive #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics
