Main Character Energy
22.10.20
This past week has possibly been the worst week of my year. And that’s saying a lot given what we as a world are already going through. To spare you all the gory details, I’ll just tell you that I am currently dealing with a broken heart and a university mandate to self-isolate for two weeks, after one of my classmates tested positive for Coronavirus.
I’ve therefore decided that this week I will be adopting a strategy I have seen my friends use when they are struggling with what life throws at them. I have decided to give myself main character energy. Typically an idea as narcissistic as this would make me gag, but seeing as I am stuck inside, I don’t see the harm in putting myself first for a while. I made banana bread at 9pm with my housemate because I could, and when everyone liked it I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself. Me - proud of myself? It feels odd, but I like it. I also understand that self-gratification isn’t really true gratification but after spending so long thinking for others, there was a weird relief in admitting that I could like something I’d done for once. Last night, I e-mailed a tattoo artist and am hopefully looking to have my first tattoo before Christmas! I know that must sound rash to many of you, but don’t worry, this is not some post-boyfriend trauma. I have had the design in mind since the beginning of the year, but never had the time or energy to find an artist.
So if you’ve ever felt a little down and out about life, I cannot recommend trying this out enough. Be the main character, even if it’s just for a day. You deserve it.
p.s. the image of my friends in the coffee shop was taken last week, before I was told to isolate - no rule breakers over here!
