... Read moreGoing through a period where emotions overwhelm you can feel isolating, but I found sharing my experience helped me connect with others facing similar struggles. Crying for a month wasn't easy—it was both a release and a challenge. What helped me was allowing myself to feel those feelings fully without judgment. I realized that crying is a natural response that can clear emotional buildup and ultimately aid in healing. During this time, I also turned to social media platforms like TikTok to document my journey. Surprisingly, sharing authentic content about sadness not only brought support from unexpected places but also reminded me that vulnerability can foster connection. The hashtags #sad and #followmytiktok helped me reach communities who welcomed me with understanding and encouragement. If you find yourself going through something similar, try to be gentle with yourself. Consider expressing your feelings through creative outlets or by talking to friends or professionals. Remember, healing is not linear, and each tear you shed is part of your emotional growth. Staying connected and sharing your story might just turn your sadness into a source of strength and hope for yourself and those who come across your journey.

You can be sad and still have agency.
Somewhere along the way, many women learned that sadness meant they should pause their lives until they felt better. But life doesn’t always work that way. There are seasons when we are grieving, disappointed, heartbroken, or carrying the weight of a very heavy world. And yet… we still

App for when you’re sad 📱🌱
I love playing the free game Dustbunny 🐰 You start the game in a dirty room and must collect the dust (dust bunnies). Each bunny has an emotion; once you capture one, you can plant it, and it will grow into a plant.  It’s a cute, relaxing game, and I love collecting all the plants 🪴 #lemo
