i find it a little strange how (in english) we talk about mental struggles through the language of injury. negative emotions are frequently described as painful, hurtful, or aching, despite having little to do with the feeling of physical pain (aside from being extremely unpleasant).

i don’t have some big point here, i just think it’s interesting to imagine a world where we talk about it differently. i wonder how our relationship to emotions might change given a different framing.

really loving this album more and more every time i hear it. a really nice character arc with a great message and sense of humor

i’m working on a writing project that follows 3 characters across various genres and writing styles. it’s been very fun to swap between the radically different worldviews and personalities to get into character.

i usually listen to different songs/albums on repeat while im writing a chapter to set the right mood. today’s song of choice is “Like Spinning Plates” by Radiohead. very eerie in the best way.
