Day 23
T oday was my 23rd day waking up to spend the 1st 15 minutes of the day, writing a love list. Out of those 23 days, there was only 2 where I found myself, mentally, in a place that was too hard to write. So, instead of writing love lists on those days, Ashley told me to write an “easy list” and focus on what’s easy, since everything felt so hard. The beauty of writing as a form of meditation every morning is that it helps me keep track of my moods, triggers, and reflect on how much the good really does outweigh the bad. January can be a very depressing month. February is even worse. Try writing a list of what you love every morning. Like the one below: I love standing in Penn Station watching these Black men rack up on money as they play these classical instruments. I love how people look at them in awe because of how “hood” they appear... I love how they are playing my favorite love songs. I love how the birds flew up to me today. I love how I could hear the call of my name
