Three times she was thankful

dolorosa_12I am so grateful.
I am grateful to Alex, for the music.
I am grateful to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thelxiepia, for telling me to go for a walk to improve my mood and getting me the hell out of the house.
I am grateful to M, who, upon hearing of said walk, responded, 'you should take some music, because that always makes you happier'. It does indeed. Pretending it's the soundtrack to running away from zombies makes me happy, for some inexplicable reason.
And then this song came on. Honestly, there was no way I was going to feel sad when this was playing. This is the song that reminds me I can be strong, I can be brave, I can be happy and beautiful and feel wonder.
Sometimes I just need some tough love. True friends are not enablers, and I'm incredibly grateful to have them.
Not having internet at home (beyond the unreliable wifi the neighbours are kindly letting us use) is making me feel very awful. I think I'm going to have to be stricter with myself about stuff in order to avoid getting into such a state again. Thus:
No internet at home. I will be in the internet cafe in the evenings, but I'm not allowed to use it at home at all. (So no forums, sporadic blogging, no chat. For the sake of my sanity.)
Get up at 6 every morning and just run. No excuses. Doesn't matter how cold and dark it is, that's the rule.
Thesis. Every day.
Looking at my tags, I am all about the literary allusions to dispossession. One of these days I'll have to write something about that.
