I'm happy to report to you that since the last time we spoke, I am doing much better! I have been back on the daily grind of doing my internship, leading my clubs, singing, and spending time with friends. As my college experience is wrapping up shortly (I have less than 3 semesters left, so crazy!), I have made sure I am prioritizing my friendships here more than I ever have. Whether it's sacrificing a few hours of sleep or simply doing homework silently, but in the presence of each other, it's so important to create those bonds. These are the people that always support me when I'm not feeling well and have fun with me when I am. They often have to drag me out of my bed, but I'm always happy they do. Some of my friends and I are even going on a trip in a few weeks which is something I never would have thought of doing a few years ago when my pain was really bad. I want to share some of the things I try to remind myself of when I'm feeling guilty about having fun (even though it's ALWAYS okay to have fun:)
- It's okay to lose a few hours of sleep if you're busy having fun and making memories with your friends!
- I may not be feeling my best right now, but I know I'll be having fun once I'm with my friends!
- College is the time in your life to be prioritizing friendships before you're all off in different places!
- It's okay to count spending time together as just being in the same room- you don't need to always be doing something crazy and high energy!
- It's OKAY to say yes more to things that aren't school and work-related!!!!!! (I'm definitely still learning this one)
