emotional first aid
Emotional first aid is like a band-aid slapped on the superficial scrape of the heart. It grants the right to wail at the top of your lungs, then the next day feign serenity as if nothing happened. Instead of confronting the underlying cause, it offers a makeshift sense of relief, leaving minute scars in the deep psyche. The basic tactics include wolfing down chocolate under the guise of stress relief and binge-watching cat videos on your phone.
