tiny things for when alone feels too big
when "alone" starts to feel too big, the answer isn't a grand plan. it's like three tiny things in a row.
when u're trying to figure out what to do when u feel alone, ur brain usually goes huge — "join a club, take up pottery, become someone w a sourdough starter." those things are great but they're not for tonight. tonight needs tiny ✨
tiny things to do when u feel alone, in order from easiest to hardest: change ur clothes. make a hot drink. step outside for 90 seconds even just on the balcony. text one person literally anything (a meme works). play one song that's "ur song." write one sentence in ur notes app.
u're not trying to fix the loneliness fr. u're just lowering it from "drowning" to "manageable." three tiny things in a row is genuinely a lot. ur brain just doesn't count them bc they were small 🫂
