    Last movie or tv series you watched?

    Neither a movie or a TV show, but I started listening to Night Vale recently (a fictional podcast about a town where every conspiracy theory is true), and I am enjoying it so far. It really commits to its own weirdness.

    Journaling and acting out my aggression in a safe environment are my go-tos at the moment. They make it a lot easier to get through the day. I would love to go on hikes or have a pet in the future.
