I feel like I understand this better now, and I'm applying it to my own life and noticing and appreciating all sorts of small beautiful things, and seeing myself as the main character of my life, not in a "protagonist-centered morality" kind of a way, rather in a "seeing that I have as much beauty, individuality and humanity as anyone else" kind of way - I love lots of anime and am definitely not just a Ghibli fan, but I love the way that so much detail is so lovingly drawn in their older films, I now see that I am an artist with an interesting and cool but comfy and cosy home that is full of things that serve my passions and creativity, beautifully dressed, cute and full of kindness, and I also believe that being more observant of and engaged with my surroundings will both stop me from getting too lost inside the sad thoughts that can occur in my mind, and help me to add more new dimensions and richness to my artwork - I think part of what has made me so sad in my past is that I am a very creative person yet my mental health problems (which dgmw are not all in my head there is a lot of trauma there and some concerns I presently have about some things that could make life harder) can make me really struggle to percieve all the beauty around me, and that just makes my spirit wither. I'm determined to see good in the world and in people and not become a cynical, bitter shadow of my former self. My boyfriend and I are doing well as well, I am very excited to see him at some point in January when I'm back from visiting my mum, and my periodically withdrawn friend is currently feeling a lot better so I am looking forward to seeing him in the new year too. I wish you all an amazingly wonderful 2025! 🥰
