i started with my internship a month ago and it has been exhausting, literal 9 to 5 everyday, with an additional hour before and after for travel, 5 days a week. thankfully its not a desk job and i actually get to engage with the children who come to the institute, and i feel the connection i have made with a few of them, attending all their therapy sessions and special ed sessions has made me particularly attached to them as well. and this place, despite how much i despise the supervisors and the structure, just reminds me of why i want to work with children, because the exhaustion is nothing in the face of my actual will to work with them, for them. AHHHHH, it is such a fulfilling experience! apart from the internship, my allergies are back with full force and i have to get back on medications again :( and the depression (i think the term dysphoria would fit better for what i feel, but i cannot separate it from gender dysphoria for some reason rn) is also back, weekdays keep me busy but the weekends can get bad. i feel like such a poser for smiling and enjoying everyday just to return home and be all gloomy and heavy again sigh yesterday i even went for a walk in the evening, and i hate how my mother always tells me not to go alone. but ut was a good walk!! and oh i also went to the pride parade, will be making a post for that too heh! anyways some photos from the past month, including a saree photo from bhaiya's wedding and a work fit photo lol
