I'm feeling very happy today and very "soph-ish", meaning, I feel like the core of myself myself. Not sure if anyone understands what that means, but sometimes I feel my inner core is clouded by sadness, angst or poor mental health. It's clouded by anxiety, depression, lack of ability to be empathetic towards others...ect. ect. And the days where I actually feel like Soph, it makes me feel very happy.
So that is a positive experience, just to feel happy today and feel myself instead of feeling clouded.
I know people are continually giving the advice to go volunteer whenever someone feels like crud in a thread.
"why dont you go volunteer, it would make you feel better by taking your mind off of your own worries"
And I'm beginning to think, hey maybe this has some merit. I know when I used to go to AA meetings and i'd listen to other people's crap it'd make me feel better to know I wasnt alone. I'm beginning to believe that helping others helps me.
So my question is: where would you reccomend that I volunteer? I am not much interested in paper pushing, nor can I do jobs where there is food or talking required because of my disability.
=\ that kind of cuts out a lot of volunteer jobs, but give me reccomendations anyway .
Who is the real Soph?
The real soph loves humanity in general, and cares about people/wants to help them. That's the "core" of me in a nutshell.
Oh and another thing, I think from now on I need to work on being grateful for the people that are in my life. I recently lost one of my best friends and became embittered over it thinking to myself...
"everyone leaves. screw everyone."
So i just did a massive dissapearance for a spell...
and now i'm thinking
"I should just be happy to meet the people I do meet, be grateful they are in my life for however long they are in it."
