Hey all! I’m new to this sub, but not new in CPTSD recovery. I’m grateful this sub exists! I don’t know about you all, but in my recovery, one of the biggest struggles for me is staying in the present and focusing on the present good in my life. We’re not allowed to directly cross post videos, but I wanted to share this very funny and down to earth Buddhist monk I loosely follow. No I’m not a Buddhist, but I have gleaned a great deal of help from its teachings. I hope this is interesting and helpful for someone, wanted to pass it along!

Personally, I’m feeling really deep, and drained. I think it’s because the transit sun and Uranus are conjuct my natal Venus, and opposite my ASC and natal Pluto, which is all squared by transiting Saturn and the moon ATM. How’s all your transits going? Anyone else feeling it?

So this song came on the other day, and I couldn’t stop relating to every single word! I feel that this sums up us 4’s to a tee.

All My Favorite Songs - Weezer

All my favorite songs are slow and sad

All my favorite people make me mad

Everything that feels so good is bad, bad, bad (hey, hey)

All my favorite songs are slow and sad

I don't know what's wrong with me (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I don't know what's wrong with me (ooh, ooh, ooh)

I love parties, but I don't go

Then I feel bad when I stay home

'Cause I need a friend when I take a walk

I like spacin' out when somebody talks

I wanna be rich, but I feel guilty

I fall in love with everyone
