So It’s me again- here to moan about my injury.
Though to be fair I’m feeling a lot better. I’ve taken a few days to process it all, vented to basically all my friends, had a few glasses of prosecco and partially accepted that I’m just going to have to sit tight and let it heal. I’ve also focused my energies into something more positive.
I’ve decided to create a music Christmas album, featuring a variety of student performances, to promote the solidarity and strength of students during the pandemic, despite being left often to our own devices at uni. “Student Minds” is the Uk’s student mental health charity, and is the charity that any and all proceeds from this album will go to. Their mantra is “We empower students and members of the university community to look after their own mental health, support others and create change.”
What stuck out to me here was to “create change.” We can’t just expect our mental health to be good without giving it some love. I can’t expect to naturally be positive about my injury, without throwing all my efforts into something positive and accepting that it is awful, and I can’t change it.
This album will feature 12 Christmas songs, and will be made available on spotify, youtube and (hopefully) itunes. A go fund me page will also be set up and any and all donations, no matter how big or small, will be massively appreciated.
This album is a reminder that no matter how crap the world situation is currently, we students are in this together. We have to support eachother, look after eachother- and believe that things will get better.
I’m focusing on this album instead of crying about my injury because I won’t be the only person struggling with my mental health right now. And I want to do all I can to ensure that students like me are supported- and never feel like things can’t get better or that they’re on their own.
