Depression is a portal

February recap

Hey guys <3

I decided to to spend the afternoon going to a matinee film, feeling very indulgent and celebratory.

Many things didn’t work out for me in February. It was a month filled with challenges. Instead of letting this fill me with fear and shame, I have been pouring my energy into love and sweetness. I have had my fair share of moping and lamenting, but it hit me last night that when you are at your most low and vulnerable, connection and sweetness is at its most necessary though we often restrict it’s access. I am rarely in the practice of celebrating when things don’t work out, but I have decided to change that. This week I am celebrating my resilience, my patience, my dedication to my art.

Now that my partner is out of town and my main source of love and affection is gone, I decided that I would be my own lover: make myself nice meals, organize coffee dates with friends, take myself to the movies in the middle of the day.

This podcast is a reflection on this past month, the insights I have gleaned from a challenging depressive episode, and what I am leaving this portal with.
