Word of the Day: 躊躇
The ramen noodles were too much of a temptation for me. Not that I have overate in terms of calories but, I had a strict rationing of my provisions for each day that I was trying to adhere to and because I was cold from the weather and my feet hurt from cracking, I have taken to "eating too much" to feel better about myself.

Mentally Ill?. Content Warning.
Mental Illness has such a dark stigma attached to it. As if struggling to do daily tasks, because we are busy trying our best to regulate our bodies and minds, wasn’t bad enough we also carry the judgment of the world on our shoulders. The judgment from the world around us sometimes feels heavier than the actually mental illness itself. The way someone with a mental disability or illness is treated makes the problem feel like it can never be fixed. Like no matter how hard we try to understand ourselves and others, or how much help we get it’s never good enough. No matter how far inward we go or how much we learn we are just expected to medicate ourselves to be numb to what’s going on around us. We try to speak on a real issues and all others hear is our mental illness talking instead of an actual human being with something real to say. It would be too easy to simply consider someone else’s feelings but not for people who aren’t willing to do the same inner work. They see a mental illness as something that can never be cured but don’t realize it takes all parties to actually balance out the real root of the problem.
