Finding Strength in the Present: A Chat with Girli on Recovery and Healing

While it's fucking scary and horrible and like so weird, it's really exciting because you can look forward to this new existence that you can create and not be jealous of that old person anymore, because she is, she's there, she's done her thing, we're good, and so, like, better things are coming.
Emily Laing is back with another heartfelt episode of 'Why Do You Think You've Got No Friends?' This time, she's joined by the vibrant artist Girli. Together, they dive into the importance of living in the present and how it shapes our journey to recovery and healing. Emily and Girli talk candidly about managing past pain and nostalgia, which often feels like a heavy backpack we can't put down.
They also discuss the significance of exercise, not just for physical health but as a powerful tool for mental well-being. Girli shares her experience of creating a supportive community through a Discord server aimed at LGBTQ+ and creative music fans who face mental health challenges. The conversation is rich with personal stories and practical advice, making it relatable and uplifting. Emily's message at the end is a warm invitation for listeners to share their own stories or simply reach out.
This episode is a reminder that even when the journey is exhausting, we're not alone.
