Abandoned Island - Animal Crossing New Horizons
I haven't played Animal Crossing in a while. I bet you haven't either. The game does a lot to shame you when you log back in after a long time, and I have my own guilt attached to my abandoned island. I also have a lot of parallel guilt and shame attached to my body and how I treated food when I was originally playing Animal Crossing New Horizons. That connection is what this video is about.
Obvious CONTENT WARNING for body image talk, food talk, and honestly just talk about pandemic grief. I have a lot to unpack, and I hope it's helpful for some people.
