Okay, so you wanna know how I’ve been grappling with this whole “im numb to the ways of the world solange” vibe, right? It’s been a journey, lemme tell ya.
First off, I felt it. Like, deep down. Solange’s stuff always hits different, but this one, man, it just resonated. So, I started by just… listening. On repeat. While I was cleaning, cooking, walking the dog – everywhere. I wanted it to soak in.
Then, I tried to figure out why it hit so hard. I started journaling, just brain dumping all my thoughts and feelings. It was messy, like, chicken scratch all over the place. But eventually, patterns started emerging. I realized I was feeling overwhelmed by all the BS in the world – the constant negativity, the fake news, the broken promises. It was like a constant barrage, and I was just shutting down.
Next, I needed to do something practical. I couldn’t just sit around feeling numb, right? So, I started small. I cut back on my social media consumption. I unfollowed accounts that made me feel anxious or angry. I started focusing on things I could actually control, like my own actions and my immediate surroundings.
I also started seeking out positive experiences. I spent more time in nature. I reconnected with old friends. I started volunteering at a local animal shelter. Anything to remind myself that there’s still good in the world, even if it’s hard to see sometimes.
And the biggest thing? I started practicing gratitude. Every day, I’d write down three things I was grateful for. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it actually made a difference. It helped me shift my focus from what was wrong to what was right, from what I was lacking to what I already had.
It’s not a quick fix, ya know? There’s good days and bad days. Sometimes I still feel numb. But I’m getting better at recognizing it, and I’m getting better at pulling myself out of it. It’s all about finding ways to cope, to stay grounded, and to keep moving forward, even when the world feels like it’s trying to crush you.
