Christian Lee Navarro, this is your tape. (jk)
So, after watching "13 Reasons Why", I fell in love with it
and I decided to follow the actor who plays Tony.
He's one of my favorite characters.
You might know him as the "unhelpful Yoda".
My mother used to say, "Primero comemos, entonces lo demas".
That means, "First we eat, then we do everything else."
La bruja.
That's right.
To me, Tony is adorable.
But, anyway. Recently, he made a post about "13 Reasons Why I'm Happy".
Seeing this post, I thought it would be a good idea to make it into a video.
Throughout the recent years, I've been going through long episodes of anxiety and depression.
And in this process of healing, I've realized that
there are several things that I use to cope and to heal to maintain my mental health.
So, let's get started...
Cleaning and keeping my space organized,
whether it's at home, or wherever I work, or wherever I relax,
I feel less stressed.
Through gardening, I've learned patience.
I've felt accomplished for all the things that I've grown.
Gardening is sort of therapeutic.
I love the fact that I can eat from my garden.
So far, I've been growing peppers and vegetables.
And tomatoes.
I get this feeling of accomplishment from my garden.
Three words for you: Treat. Yo. Self.
Treating myself every now and then, really makes me happy.
And it doesn't have to stop at smoothies. It could be anything, really.
Clothes. Treat yo self.
Fragrances. Treat yo self.
Massages. Treat yo self.
Mimosas. Treat yo self.
Fine leather goods. Treat yo self.
It's the best day of the year.
The best day of the year!
I think other people- they don't have the resources,
or the time, or the support to actually treat themselves.
I'm here to tell you, you should treat yo self.
Velvet slippies, cashmere socks, velvet pants, cashmere turtleneck.
I'm a cashmere, velvet candy cane.
Treat. Yo. Self.
Didn't you just love the picture?
I did. But, I just felt so sorry for the creature... at the end.
Sorry for the creature?
What'd you want? Him to marry the girl?
He was kind of scary looking. But he wasn't really all bad.
Watching some of my favorite T.V. shows and films really make me feel better when I'm feeling down.
A good story where the underdog wins.
A good story that brings light to people who have suffered (and survived) through trauma in their lives,
whether it's based in real life, or based on fiction, really makes me happy.
I also have to give credit to an actress, who- in the process of healing-
I fell in love with her work.
Marilyn went through who own series of ups and downs concerning her mental health.
She's a very misunderstood woman.
Marilyn has a very charming vulnerability when it comes to her work on screen.
Had she been surrounded by the right people, who actually did care for her,
I believe she would've went on and accomplished many more great things in her life.
So thank you, Marilyn. For inspiring me to keep going.
Making it feel okay to be sad and vulnerable sometimes.
Making art- whether it's drawing, painting, or sewing- it is a good distraction from all of my problems.
It's like a getaway for my mind when things get tough.
I love being inspired by other people's art.
And one of those women that I usually get back to, is Frida.
I don't believe
that ever before has a woman
put such agonized poetry on canvas.
Shut up, panzon.
Who died?
Where is the music?
You see doctor, I followed your orders.
I didn't leave my bed.
Ay, doctor, if you let me have this tequila, I promise not to drink at my funeral.
It's a deal.
To Frida!
Frida is a woman who painted her own reality,
no matter how dark it was.
So thank you, Frida.
Thank you for inspiring me and others, to be persistent.
Listening to music is another reason that makes me happy.
It's pretty self-explanatory.
But, I'll just leave you with clips of musicians that I've listened to for years.
They've inspired me with their work, through their passion. Music is very therapeutic.
There are times where, I run into a problem- but I don't let being poor, being broke,
having a lack of resources due to my circumstances, stop me from making the best of what I have.
Fixing things, whether it's my clothing, whether it's something else
Really makes me feel accomplished: I save money.
I save time and effort.
I put my energy into something that I believe could be salvaged. And it makes me happy.
