Semi-System

Tumblr support staff needs to get its act together.

On what basis is this being done?

You water your plants for the first time in a while. Surprisingly they’re not dead yet. You remember a movie that you really enjoy and you find the energy to watch it. You feel better afterwards. Maybe you still can’t find the motivation to reply to your friends but you buy yourself a nice scented candle and read your book. You take a nice long shower and you feel refreshed, so you put on an outfit you find cool. Then after what seems like forever, you get a good night of sleep. You wake up with more energy than usual so you play with your dog. Then you cook that healthy meal you really enjoy. You reach out to a friend.

You start remembering what brought you joy. You start again with the little things. You look back on the days that have passed and feel relieved they’re over.

Maybe you can’t take a shower, but you CAN use a disposable shower wipe and a sink full of hot water to wash up.

Maybe you can’t make yourself a meal, but you CAN eat some cheese and a piece of fruit and call it good. Calories are calories, regardless of form.

Maybe you can’t handle a phone call, but you can send your friend a meme, and enjoy their little emoji response.
