So a dear friend of mine shared this analogy with me one day and we both decided I should make an art piece talking about this. Since I'm in psychology I think it's important to find good good analogies to help explain things. So I wanted to share what my friend told me:
Everytime you have an issue what do you do? You bottle it up until you can't handle it anymore and you explode. Every issue is a mento, every time you add a mento and close the bottle it keeps building pressure until eventually it won't hold anymore. So instead of of adding a mento to the bottle give it someone or something that decompresses you; talk to a friend, say hi/wave at a stranger, journal your feelings and day, and as what I would say- get creative find ways to let out your feelings and frustration in a healthy way. Add mentos to stuff that benefits you and everyone else around instead of adding it your bottle where eruption is bound to happen. your the coke bottle, and your issues are the mentos, but you can handle those issues (mentos) by putting in your coke and let it bottle up OR you give it someone/something that can help.
I wanted to thank my friend for this analogy, it blew my absolute mind when she told me this. I wanted to give her credit for this as well, because she has helped me become the best version, she has seen me on my best and worst days. I probably would not be here right now if we had not met, etc. So Sariah, thank you for what you do, being there for me, and ing me. You have my gratitude and full and always will.
Always check on up people, always seek through to understand.
Y'all have a (good) day and like always, do your best. Love y'all! :green_heart: :blue_heart:
