If I am being honest, you see the way I recharge is not the regular kind of way people think of it, Some people feel better by just being around their friends, gisting ,playing and laughing, Some will go out, do one or two stuff to distract themselves, But you see me? I am the type of person that just wants quietness, pure silence and also space.
Like a phone that needs charging in a very quiet corner
I always say it that I am like a phone that just needs to be plugged in one corner somewhere and just left alone to charge, no noise, no talking, just peace, and once I start feeling drained or overwhelmed, the best thing I can give myself is that little quiet time, and I do not even do anything serious , sometimes I just sit down, or maybe lie down, or sleep. That is how I come back to life.
Yeah...for me , I just sometimes want to be just alone, like I do derive joy being alone at some point, because getting through the day is never easy ,so those moments just come and you see me , I lock the doors, shut myself off from people and I am just there, alone with my own thoughts.
That is my own version of resetting.
Like a System that just needs Resetting..
Then there will be some days when I just feel like I am all over the place, you know those kind of days when you are doing plenty but it feels like you have done nothing?.... And like your mind is everywhere and nowhere at the same time?... Yeah that kind, That is just the moment I know my whole system needs a really hard reset.
So what I just do is , i log off from everything, I mute notifications, like I put my Phone on DND, I clear chats I don’t want to open, and sometimes delete apps if I need to, sometimes i put my phone on airplane mode and I just disappear small, see it's not because I am angry or anything o, nah....,but because my brain just needs to rest , you know like how your phone hangs and you just have to restart it that is just me, restarting my whole self
Somehow I have gotten used to knowing when my body or mind is getting overwhelmed, I don’t wait till I am completely drained out before I take a break , because once I start feeling like I am snapping over little things or zoning out too much, I know that it is time to pause.
Music is my charger.
Then there is the part I always look forward to which is music, If peace and silence are the charger, then the music is the current that runs through it, My playlist knows me well that once I plug in my earphones, it is like the whole world fades away small small. Whether I am feeling low or just tired, music just helps bring me back.
Sometimes I do not even play anything loud just soft, calming songs , see i can just lie on the bed, close my eyes, and just let the music play. It is always like the songs know what I can not say out , and I do find peace in that.
So yeah , I am not someone that needs crowd or plenty activity to feel better at all, I recharge in a very simple way give me my quietness, that helps me reset, and play me good music and that’s enough.
And I have learned not to feel weird about it at all because it is what works for me.
