Distractions

Paper. Pen. Let's write out our feelings. "I'm having a rough time." Cell phone Online recipes. I should cook that soon. Hotel websites. Free breakfast? Eh I'm vegan now so just fruit. Swimming pool? I'm sure it'll be busy Fitness center. Leo wants to run in the morning. Booked. Could be a good night. Paper. Pen. Right. Writing. "I can tell journaling is helpful because I'm resistant to doing it." Text messages. Leo thinks they were too mean to me. I think I deserve it. I love you. Paper. Pen. Hm. I should write some poetry. Photos. Wow look at how my face has changed, let's make a collage. Oo what else. Body pictures. Pre-surgery picture. Damm I've really sculpted up. Reconsiders feeling gross physically. Arguable. Paper. Pen. How easy it is to ignore you. How easy it is to ignore myself And not listen to my feelings.
