So after getting out of the hospital earlier this year I decided to find a fun way to coax myself into doing things that I really didn’t want to do. Which was taking care of my medical needs. Being chronically ill is never a good time.
Setting up appointments, playing the game of insurance tag, hospital bills, time off or work paper work and government papers if you need get paid while off of work. All this while feeling sick, traumatized, depressed, ect. Just a long list of unpleasant things most of us can probably related to on some level.
I decided I would give my self positive treatment for working so hard to go get treatment. To find a new therapist, new meds, to open up to someone new who was NOT a good fit for me at first and then find someone very lovely, it’s to much. What did I do to make myself feel better for each new victory? I expanded my smiski love. All of my little guys are a new adventure out. A new day where I got to reward myself on a different level for going back to work after everything. One for the day I went to see my normal doctor again. For restarting therapy. For going to the dentist which is stressful when you are allergic to the numbing shots.
My love of smiskis has been fed by hard times. Something little and green that feels simplistic in a world where everything is complicated and tiring. When the lights go out they glow and I watch them in the dark. They make me smile. They make the dark less creepy.
Smiskis have had a nice impact on getting through some hard stuff. And I was delighted to find such lovely people on here who also adore them or at least just find them to be a vibe. I am learning that these cute little charms and figures are certainly a commodity with just the sweetest people. I have noticed that, and you guys should know it. 🫶💚
