*wrote this after one of the worst hangovers of my life. i am indulging in the fantasy that someone might read my words. formatting is super weird and i apologize for the block of text. enjoy

how to recover from a hangover

are you awake? good. don’t move too fast. in fact, don’t move at all. stay there for a bit. take deep breaths. remember what happened last night.

text your friends. ask them how they’re doing. if you have to get out of bed to get your phone (as i do), sit up and move carefully.

stand up. how does it feel to be vertical? if your stomach is boiling and you’re swallowing back spit and all you want is to curl up on the floor so that your head stops spinning, go throw up. you’ll feel better after.

rinse your mouth. brush your teeth, while you’re at it. get a cup of water and drink it—don’t chug it, you’ll get nauseous again!

lie down and breathe for a little longer. you’re allowed to go out and have fun, you know, and you’re allowed to take time to recover. i’m not saying you should go out and get wasted and use your hangover as an excuse to ditch your responsibilities, but a hangover can be a good excuse to practice caring for yourself. so if you don’t have any pressing obligations, stay in bed for a few more minutes, an hour. whatever. notice your breath, the feel of last night’s clothes on your skin, the texture of your ceiling. try to move each of your toes individually. do not try to be somewhere else even though the guilt is pulling at your ankles like an anchor holding down a ship. if you can be present now this habit will carry into the rest of your life and someday the joy and exhilaration and love will feel as intense as the strange cocktail of negativity after a night of partying. instead of dissociating during the happy moments because you feel you don’t deserve them, you can embrace them as they come. but you have to start being present at some point and it might as well be now. 

obviously being hungover is embarrassing, but there’s no point kicking yourself about it. accept that this is a choice you made, make the best of the consequences, and learn from the consequences.

try not to go back to sleep; waking up the second time is just as difficult.

open the curtains if you haven’t already. how’s the weather? if it’s sunny and/or warm, put on your shoes. grab your keys and phone, and a tote bag. listen to music if you want to. walk out the door. 

if it’s raining and cold, you have my permission to forgo the remaining steps of this tutorial, but make yourself a cup of tea and drink it slowly while wrapped in something warm.

if you’re on the walk, keep walking; you’re heading towards the farmer’s market. on the way, find something beautiful to look at. maybe the buttercups are particularly shiny today, or maybe the bare tree branches look like they’ve been painted against the gray backdrop of winter sky. whatever it is, hold on to it. beauty is fleeting, there are enough ugly things in the world so try to find beauty where it exists, etc etc--it’s not an original thought but there’s a reason it’s repeated so often.

when you get to the farmer’s market, buy yourself some fruit. i like granny smith apples and passionfruit. get something easy to prepare. it is not the time for a pomegranate (but you can get one for later in the week). 

you should of course always wash your fruit before consumption, but if you eat some on your walk back i won’t tell anyone.

walk back. look at everything you found beautiful. look at you, the blessings you’ve had to make it here, to breathe freely, to hear the birds and the rush of cars on the highway, to taste the air that smells like roses, to be walking upright and looking at how mother nature painted the trees against the sky, for you, for you, for you—okay really, for everybody, but mostly for you because nobody else has noticed yet.

not to reblog myself but there’s also something called a p-p plot i mean SERIOUSLY

they really called it “cohen’s d” and the other one “cramer’s v” and expected us to take it seriously

i’m convinced that the ice age franchise won’t end until the squirrel that always chases after the nut gets an equally hideous girlfriend with Squirrel Tits™ and eyelashes

the first time i heard (//herd, get it) of the mountain goats was in the welcome to night vale novel when diane tells josh that his mountain goats t shirt was too political bc it made a statement about the exist of mountains (a controversial topic) and i thought the mountain goats were a band made up for storytelling purposes

#wtnv #welcome to night vale #welcome to night vale the novel #diane crayton #josh crayton #the mountain goats #man i miss my wtnv phase. had so much coming to me yet i was so unaware #is the podcast even still going? #anyway that's enough mountain goats posting for the night

to what extent was john darnielle inspired by “the gang wrestles for the troops” (2009) while writing “heel turn 2” from album “beat the champ” (2015), a concept album about professional wrestling

#artistic parallels? #iasip #the mountain goats #sorry john darnielle #heel turn 2 #beat the champ #the gang wrestles for the troops

Where would we be today without vienna teng. the answer is absolutely no where She is my everything…………

[thecrumpetqueen]

Vienna Teng's music, lyrics, ethos, post-stream vlogs--the things she chooses to say--all reflect a deep understanding and respect and love for other human beings and an understanding of our tenuous place in the world and a desire to tell human stories and it's incredibly beautiful thanks for coming to my TED talk
