Im gonna shill for Marie Kondo again but this is why I find her books (yes, books, the TV show is fun but ultimately misses a lot of the core ideas) so good.
A lot of home org advice fully misses this aspect. Kondo not only acknowledges it, but leans into it. And ultimately this helps motivste me to keep my space tidy - it's really hard to me to keep on the nebulous goal of self-care, but much easier to get up and put things away if I envision my salt and pepper grinders as like, retail workers who are now standing in an empty shop (my dining table) and just wanna go home (the spice rack where they live).
Normie tidying process: that heater should be put away for summer! I mean, I'm not gonna need it
Me: well it's just chilling and also I can't be arsed.
Kondo: that heater has done a good job keeping you warm over winter and now it should get to go have a rest in the cupboard
Me: !! Sabbatical for my heater!! Thank you for your service sir and have a very nice break!

"king of queens" could have been a great name for a sitcom where a regular straight guy finds himself in a social circle somehow made up entirely of drag queens, and he's just like "eh that's life, ya know?" and each episode he's called on to solve some crisis like help them play straight when they're invited to their dad's superbowl party or whatever, and he's coaching them through it explaining the rules of football in the backroom of a drag bar sitting on a little stool by an illuminated mirror surrounded by queens in full face furiously taking notes
I’m increasingly worried by all the people on my dash calling themselves insane for loving stories in the way humans have loved stories our whole history. “The brain rot is spreading” — you mean you were changed by art? “I’m not normal about this” — you were moved by it? You felt human emotions about it? “I’m about to be so annoying” — you’re going to talk about art? You’re going to be passionate? You’re going to think deeply about it? You’re going to feel love for the work of someone’s soul? You are not a consumer and art is not a product to be casually used! You are a human and stories are the beating heart of our humanity! You must feel everything and you must know that it is normal!
Something finally changed in me when I allowed myself to admit that The Good Place fundamentally changed how I go about being a human being in the world. For ages I felt embarrassed that a TV show could affect me so much, and I danced around telling people why I loved the show so dearly. Then one day, in undertaking my theatre degree, I took a playwriting class. And I had taken creative writing before, wanted to tell stories through a medium, and wanted to do theatre because I loved it so much. It wasn’t until my professor explicitly told us that our plays need to reveal something about human experience that it finally clicked.
We tell stories because it’s how we understand each other. How we relate to each other. How we understand the world around us. The human race consists of storytellers because we can’t just survive to live a fulfilling life. Our lives must also mean something. And we tell stories to share those experiences with each other.
So yes. The Good Place fundamentally changed how I go about being a human being in the world. Puss in Boots the last wish made me cry real tears every time I watched it because I love the connections I have to my loved ones. And Helen adapted by Ellen McLaughlin is the most beautiful play I have ever read because I felt more connected to being a storyteller than I ever had in my entire life. It’s not embarrassing that media or literature changed you. It’s beautiful.
Actually, my therapist has told me this is a healthy way of processing things. Because you can get the trauma out of your head And you can write the ending you wish it had. The trusted person rescue, the catharsis of getting to kill the one who hurt you.
It's good for your brain. It's healthier than bottling it up. Fiction is where we go for emotional release. That can be true with trauma too.
so what you're saying is
character: NO
therapist: YES
