I know how much fun it can be to do things like shopping and seeing movies out in a group but there are times when doing these things by yourself can be so healing. Yesterday I needed to go shopping and instead of going shopping with others I decided to go by myself and find what it is that I needed and so much more. of course it's nice to have someone there with you to tell you what looks good or if it's worth investing your dollars in but sometimes it's rewarding to just trust your own instincts. Too many voices can clutter your mind and result in unsuccessful trips. However don't neglect those outings, those are always moments to remember! 13.

To start off my list of 22 things that I want to do as a 22 year old, I've selected therapy. There’s nothing irreverently screwed up with me or anything, I’m the same amount of disturbed as most of us are. But I need to talk, really talk so that I don’t end up with a mental disturbance of some kind. I think that therapy and counseling get a bad reputation – that it’s thought that you can’t or shouldn't go unless you've been traumatized or damaged in some way. But think about how important it is for us to go to the dentist every six months and get a check up or to get a physical once a year just to make sure everything is okay and working well. Now it’s true that a lot of us tend to skip out on our appointments at the dentist and doctors offices, but think of the next time you go – when there’s an emergency. 9 times out of 10 the original problem that you go in for turns out to be the smallest of your issues because you didn't check on advance. So that toothache you thought was just a cavity will probably need a root canal and that chest pain that you thought was just acid reflex could be early signs of a heart attack. The point of my little rant is that going to see a therapist is just like getting a mental check up.
Personally I need to go because I just need to talk to someone. I’m the type of person that tends to bottle up a lot of things and it isn't healthy. As of late I’m beginning to see more of the effects that holding things in is having on me and I need to start letting them go in a safe environment. |
