I felt really low today.
I found out that a relative of mine is in critical condition, and it brought up a lot of thoughts I usually push away. I talked with my parents and sister — she's my closest person, and having her support today meant everything. I cried, cried a lot, let myself feel it all.
one unexpected thing that made me feel a little better was looking through old notes from my mom and childhood pictures. my sister and I went through them together, and it felt warm, nostalgic, almost healing.
I also got myself some japanese food for dinner as a small treat.
between the earthquake yesterday and everything today, my head feels heavy. I’ll try to get some sleep, and hope tomorrow is easier.
