The world has me feeling all kinds of things and I’m sincerely trying my best to remind myself that it’s okay to take time to disconnect.
I’m looking after my mental health while also reminding myself of the things that bring me joy.
I’m sure I’m not alone at trying to figure this out right now. So consider this your friendly reminder that your joy and energy matter.
I hope this bulletin serves as a virtual hug, from me to you.
Emotive (adjective) /ɪˈmoʊ.t̬ɪv/
Something described as emotive shows feeling. If you consider some people more emotive than others, you think that some people are more comfortable sharing their feelings than others.
While the word emotive is similar to the word emotional, it's important to note that the two aren't interchangeable. I used emotive with regard to something that makes you have intense feelings rather than just having intense feelings.
"We'll go to the doctor when we feel flu-ish or a nagging pain. So why don’t we see a health professional when we feel emotional pain: guilt, loss, loneliness? Too many of us deal with common psychological-health issues on our own, says Guy Winch. But we don’t have to. He makes a compelling case to practice emotional hygiene — taking care of our emotions, our minds, with the same diligence we take care of our bodies." - TED
Listen, reflect, and answer: How do you practice emotional hygiene?
"Undertale is an incredibly expressive game from start to finish, making up for visual limitations with excellent music and charming animations. It's also gender- and sexuality-inclusive in a very real, noticeable way. Every small detail reveals an intimate understanding of its audience, and that is essential to what makes Undertale’s commentary on personhood so effective." - IGN
Undertale is available on Steam (Windows, macOS, Linux), Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.
• Undertale has the best game reviews I’ve ever read. It genuinely deserves all the praise it has received. Once I started playing it, I got sucked into the story and loved every minute.
When I heard about Undertale’s 5th anniversary concert, my heart exploded. I think we all deserve to discover the magical world of Undertale. This is me sharing a bit of that magic with you.
• "Summer Camp Island — and Summer Camp Island, where all of this takes place — is full of these types of small, revelatory wisdoms. Each life lesson is nestled into a colorful place inhabited by various magical creatures: There are aliens that look like cutesy gremlins, friendly monsters, music-loving elves and werewolves, and even a talking moon (voiced by Cedric the Entertainer!). The result is a lovely slice-of-life cartoon that offers the perfect jolt of happiness in a difficult world." - VOX
