52. muah* A joyful note, family matters, and (over)functioning for your own self *muah*
- Wait what if I take the energy I spend on nurturing others and point it at myself? ? ?
- Harriet says problems with yr now relationships maybe stem from problems with ur “first” fambly --- *sound of door slam, car speeding away*
- it’s worthwhile to do the things that bring u pure joy even (especially??) if they feel silly (like singin and dancin to nsync)
- If ur feelin low, just hang tight --- ur fun things will eventually feel fun again
