Sadcore Sundays: “Here” by Alessia Cara

Posted by strange on November 16, 2015

Lyrics:

I’m sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I’m not listenin’ or I’m indifferent
Truly, I ain’t got no business here
But since my friends are here
I just came to kick it but really
I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room
With people who don’t even care about my well-being
I don’t dance, don’t ask, I don’t need a boyfriend
So you can go back, please enjoy your party
I’ll be here, somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who’s hollering I can hardly hear
Over this music I don’t listen to and I don’t wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I’ll be over here

Sadcore Sundays: “Candy Says” by The Velvet Underground

Sadcore Sundays: "Candy Says" by The Velvet Underground

Lyrics:

Candy says I’ve come to hate my body and all that it requires in this world Candy says I’d like to know completely what others so discreetly talk about I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me Candy says I hate the quiet places that cause the smallest taste of what will be Candy says I hate the big decisions that cause endless revisions in my mind I’m gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder I’m gonna watch them pass me by Maybe when I’m older What do you think I’d see If I could walk away from me Screen Shot 2014-09-27 at 1.53.03 PM That’s Google’s definition. We’re defining “sadcore” as anything you listen to when you’re sad. Sadcore Sundays are meant for you to indulge in your sad feels for a moment, but then let it go and move on.

I Have OCD. This is What It’s Like to Be In My Mind for 3 Minutes.

Posted by strange on June 24, 2015

If you have a friend or a loved one that isn’t understanding your anxiety disorder, I recommend showing them this video, “I Have OCD. This is What It’s Like to Be In My Mind for 3 Minutes,” but note that you do not have to watch it with them because it could be triggering like it was for me.

We Filmed a Beginning Yoga for Anxiety Video!

We Filmed a Beginning Yoga for Anxiety Video!

I finished filming a beginning yoga for anxiety video on Friday, June 19 at YogaWorks Pasadena! The video is one in a series of four yoga for anxiety and depression videos for my mental health blog The Strange is Beautiful (thestrangeisbeautiful.com) and for my 300 hour yoga teacher training project. I’m so grateful to have such talented, helpful and loving friends – Christian Soriano, Corey Strong and Nadia Adella – who gave their time to make this video possible and a brilliant yoga mentor, Ashley Rideaux, to help me design the yoga sequence. A huge thanks to YogaWorks Pasadena, to the manager Ken, for letting me use the studio to film and for moppping/turning the air on so the room wasn’t a sauna for the shoot! :)
