Louisahhh: From Addiction to Sobriety and the Beat of Freedom
Anything we can be addicted to can either be a weapon for our destruction or a tool - and I do think that like to use it as a tool for connection and to like - thank god for you know my phone and for Instagram, and like airports when I'm alone and just feeling like miserable to have a place to kind of soften that and like do some healthy disassociation. So I don't totally like have a fucking meltdown in terminal or whatever, but also to stay connected and to like to know that there's a world of people who are awake when I'm awake and who can kind of like hold space and connection, as opposed to just feeling like super, super alone.
