Happy Saturday 🙂
I love Saturdays. Maybe I will even get around to doing some more work on my mural today.
Fun Saturday-related fact about me:
One of the reasons I struggled to cope at university when I was 19 is: I could not sleep.
The key cause of my insomnia was an unshakeable intrusive earworm.
Yes, Saturday Night by Whigfield was stuck in my head.
Every night I’d go to bed and pray:
“Please God, I know I don’t believe in you now, but if you could wipe this song from my memory, I promise I will believe in you forever!”
There was no release from this torture, other than self-medicating with recreational drugs and binge drinking. And then I’d wake up to it.
I did not go to the doctor about this, because I thought they would think I was joking. I was not. I can laugh about it now.
I’d rather laugh than cry about how I struggled unsupported, totally unaware of my own neurodivergence and mental health issues.
I want better than this for my daughters.
At least a better song, anyway!
