I am proud of myself for still exercising today despite being super cold and I was really not in mood for it. It was just a small walk, but I still exercise for more than 40+ min and that is worth something at my weight. Hopefully I can do the same tomorrow

I don’t know what exactly changed in my skin chemistry lately but I had stopped using retin-a after a period of months because I was flaking relentlessly and the quality of my skin was just not improving enough for it to be worth the struggle. I started using it again about 2 weeks ago and this time I’m flaking very little and my skin tone has evened out a lot, plus I’m seriously glowing. Been a nice little confidence booster.

i am still riding the high watching eurovision with the nonnitas over on farmer movie night even more than a week after the grand finale. it was genuinely the most fun i have ever had in two years i am so happy that i decided to go on cytube on may 10th. it was my first time ever watching live, in the past i only watched/listened to really old entries like 60s to 90s anything beyond that never. now i associate eurovision with happiness and i cant stop rewatching my favorite performances and looking into more "moments" that happened during the show because it puts a big goofy smile on my face although i know its cringey. thank you everyone for this opportunity and for such a happy unforgettable experience in my life. i hope i can see you again next year !

>>1187321I keep thinking of a lady I met at the vets waiting room. My dog was seriously injured and we didn't know if she would make it or not, and I was a mess in the waiting room. Some lady was letting her gross bulldog get in my dog's face (my dog had just been mauled and I was terrified of other dogs for a while, even tiny fluffy ones) and I asked her to pull her dog back and she was about to make a scene about it when a lovely woman stepped in out of nowhere and stood infront of the other woman's dog so it couldn't get to us. She was so calming and motherly and sat with me the whole time, she honestly felt like an angel. Even her cat was angelic, it was a huge ragdoll cat. I think about her alot when I'm feeling down and I don't know why, her presence was so comforting in such a bad time, even if it was only twenty minutes

for the first time in years i feel im fully recovered from my eating disorder, i started going to the gym and now i like it so much that im dealing differently with the fact that i need to gain weight
before it felt like torture, now i just feel its a necessity because i need more strength so i can lift better and heavier, i feel so happy im even eating and my goal is to put on some more weight so ill be stronger, i already gained some weight and yesterday i was able to lift 15kgs all by myself and i was only able to do this like 2 years ago before i got really sick and anorexic, i was so happy i cried
Today while i was at the gym i just took a good look at everyone there, so many fit people with strong, attractive bodies and for the first time i felt ashamed for being so spoopy and weak.

Just came back from my first con in 3+ years. There was the pandemic, but I also decided to quit for a myriad of reasons before the pandemic (ex broke up with me and didn't want to run into her, lots of people I don't like go to the same cons, questioning my relationship with cosplay and how it harmed me mentally). It's been a long time but I forgot how much I enjoy cons, even moreso when it isn't much of a party con. Nothing wrong with party cons, but after going to a few I've just come to realize that they aren't really for me (and I can't drink either so lol). I just really prefer to dilly dally about.
I bought some things here and there, the best one being an original watercolor painting. It was a hefty purchase, but I rarely buy prints nowadays in favor of buying original pieces. I did cave and buy two beautiful prints though kek. I didn't cosplay all weekend and I didn't really miss it. I did take photos for friends though and I always have fun playing photographer hehe. Overall I just had such a good time with good friends and I'm excited to go back to this con next year!

It bugs me when people complain about how the world is going to hell. I think it's a sad symptom of people being overly connected to a news cycle that prioritizes focusing on terrible events. Of course there are still problems, but the world has gotten a lot better in many ways. Picrel is from a book called Factfulness (2018) by Hans Rosling.

No. 1205643
>>1204339this x100, thank you anon. i have tinfoil that all of this sperging folks do over the "media trying to divide people" is actually more closely related to our western and worldwide sense of climate doomism and nihilism/doomerism/"blackpill.
so many people you hear nowadays use whatever excuse they can to justify their own shitty decisions or behavior, but some of the most common ones ive run into time and time again regardless of if it comes from the "left' or "right" is along the lines of either "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, therefore what I do doesn't matter, blame the faceless companies and 1%" as a cop out for shitty behavior, or "what does it matter the world is ending anyways", or just outright despair/doomer thinking when it comes to any aspect of life whether it is "virtue-signalling" (giving a shit about an issue), caring about the climate, caring about what one eats/puts in their body, caring for others and caring for themselves.
this "the world is burning, nothing matters" outlook has pervaded everywhere online and especially in the age of instantly being exposed to trauma and despair from all over the world in just a few swipes down ones feed, I wouldn't be surprised if this docile, blameless, defeatist attitude was something that was being propagated by the elite and the powers that be.
its so hard nowadays to find anyone who actually has a backbone and expresses an opinion on something, let alone someone who gives a shit about themselves, let alone someone who cares about others, our planet, or the generations that will come after us. and it leads to us being a docile population that continue to lazily sit around doing nothing to better ourselves or our circumstances cause it "doesnt matter" or imaginging a future outside of these systems that have shown to fail time and time again. boy i cant wait for the industrial collapse

>>1205416>your positivity is misplacedI wouldn't say that. I'm positive because I'm glad to see how many terrible things have decreased across the world and I'm getting to enjoy the comfort that brings right now. Maybe earth will be overpopulated in a couple decades or maybe the world community will get it together and find a way to keep things under control. Until then that doesn't really bother me because I'd rather appreciate the good conditions we (generally) have rather than living in a constant state of fear about how and when I'm going to kick it. I could die tomorrow in a freak car accident before some great crash happens at all, but I'm not going to sit here stressing over it.
>>1205643Thank you
nonny, I totally agree. Many people's negative attitudes are an excuse to avoid personal responsibility. It's very lazy and nihilistic when in reality things have never been better. The frenzied doomer outlook is so exhausting and primarily a symptom of being terminally online. People will say "touch grass" here but unironically I think many people need to do just that. Get involved in local communities and volunteer, come up with alternatives to big business. I spent some time last summer working on a farm for their CSA (community supported agriculture) program and it was so much fun, plus it supplied a bunch of locals with healthy, fresh and affordable food. I didn't miss the constant deluge of naysayers at all.

My local classical music station is so cute. I don't know if all classical radio hosts tend to be like this but they're these sweet boomers who introduce the compositions with little background stories and they usually incorporate some semi-modern reference to try and make long dead composers more relatable.
>You know how sometimes you'll start watching a Netflix show and a few episodes in you realize it's not what you expected? Well Handel experienced something similar when he first performed as an organist then decided to join an opera orchestra only a year later.
It's so silly but I find it endearing. It kind of feels like you're listening to the radio with older family members absent mindedly telling you random facts they remember from a music history course in their college days.

I've been dyeing my hair regularly for almost 10 years now, from its natural pitch black color to a lighter brown color. A couple of months ago I saw an anon post about how she preferred all black hair and how nice it was so I've decided that I'm going to grow my hair out, and once I cut off what remains of my dyed hair, I'm jut going to leave it as all black. Partly because I'm lazy and tired of dyeing my hair every few months, but also, why not just embrace my black hair? I've always thought of it as a boring color, but so what? I'm kind of a boring person anyway so lol.
I am tempted to perm my hair though… because not only is my hair pitch black, it's fine and pin straight, so it's ultra-ultra boring. I'm still debating on doing the perm though, but I really want to relish in having a head of untreated hair for a while.
Thank you to the nona who made me appreciate my black hair.

When my sister was born I cried. Not because I wanted a sister, but because I never, ever, in my ENTIRE life wanted a sister. I still don't, tbh, but today, for the first time, we went on a walk through a forest park together. It was very, very fun and I liked listening to her silly, 12-year old girl stories, but she also tried her best to make meaningful and deep conversations, though very black & white/stolen from mom opinion-type. On our way home we decided that for tomorrow (we're going to the zoo!) we should dye her hair with one of those hair dye crayons and now we're gonna do it. She also asked me to put on purple eyeliner, so it matches the hair. Cheers!

I'm so happy I realized that the guy I had a little crush on was too boring and insecure for me before anything more serious happened between us.
It's so good to have built a self-esteem and not settling for the first option you get, nonnies. This is a huge progress for me and I feel so happy to realize this lol
I also really want to try dating other girls instead of going for guys again

I have been struggling with shit self-esteem for quite some time now, but this summer I really wanted to focus on getting in touch with my hobbies and again and figuring out what I enjoy. Just went on a very mediocre date yesterday and as I walked home, I suddenly realized that most men are cringe and somehow I could see myself with a lot of clarity. That I am pretty and care about the way I dress and have interesting opinions about things and fun interests that I care a lot about. That even though I'm prone to anxiety and falling into negative spirals, that I still work hard to challenge myself and work on myself instead of giving up. For the first time in a long time, I am actually very happy and confident with the way I am. I used to be self conscious about a lot of things- one of them being the fact that I never had a boyfriend. But now I realize that not dating men was the right choice (not just avoidance) and that I will continue to do so unless I ever meet a man who is as interesting and smart as me and not cringe and embarrassing to be around!

I hope this doesn't come across the wrong way kek but I hope to find a man like my dad some day, just someone funny, smart and calm who doesn't care what people think of him and enjoys the small things in life. I'm so glad our relationship got better over the years, I can tell him anything now when I'd barely even speak to him when I was younger. Feels good knowing he loves me, he had a great relationship with his dad and I'm happy he can feel the same way with me.

Trying to take life less seriously. Feels great to get the weight of the world off my shoulders. I need to tone it up even more, do things I enjoy for pleasure, browse sites less. Spending time with pets and family helps, even sitting outside no matter how long. Reminds me that last night I watched fireworks from the back porch. They were noisy but exciting and beautiful, like stars bursting or space ships attacking. I also sketched (using light from a window) the moon, trees, and stars, including the Big Dipper. I'm coming to believe it really is this simple. The secret is to hone in on the things, big or very little, that bring you joy, and minimize the shitty background noise of life. When I start to think about how the world sucks, I remind myself to stay in my own little corner. The only world that's real and yours is what's in front of you this moment.

I quit my soul sucking retail job 3 years ago and my life has been so much better for it. I miss my coworkers like crazy, but a lot of us have moved on from that place. I am a better person having lived through that work experience, and every job I've had since is one step closer to where I want to be. I hope the same will happen to you nona.
I also hope you'll have a good time at college! Those were the best years of my life and I always hope other anons will have a great time like I did. Visit your professors during office hours and make friends with them! It's good in case you need extra time/help on an assignment or a personal reference or something, but it's also just cool to get to know them. I became friends with a professor who I took many classes with, and I hung out around his office a lot. He gave a lot of good life advice kek, even gave me a very reassuring "it's okay if you don't end up in your field" talk the day before I graduated, and had a lot of fun stories to tell me too. I still email him every year to see how he's doing and he's always been a very reassuring voice in my life. I hope you'll be able to find someone similar.

A while ago a guy told me to shave my legs because he didn't think hairy legs were sexy. I just told him a harsh no and he got kind of pissy about it for a few days. Now recently it came up again, he told me to 'start shaving' and I said to him 'Guy, with all due respect I have more to offer than my looks and I like myself, hairy or not'. I expected him to get kind of pissy again but the unthinkable happened, he told me 'Good for you! Being insecure doesn't get you anywhere. You're doing well, keep it up.' (I got accepted into college which is why he said I was doing well). I did not expect this at all, he can be pretty narrow minded so I'm happy he seems to be genuinely glad for me even if he thinks it's ugly. Made me happy that there's still some good ones out there, though it's messed up he wants me to shave to begin with.

I was finally dismissed from therapy yesterday after 10 years of treatment. After struggling with depression and anxiety disorder and almost giving up on my life thrice, I can say that I feel more at peace with myself and my way of being. That being said, I felt like I had to let some things go because even though I hold them dear to my heart, I wanna make room for a few changes. I donated some of my mangas and books to my friends and made a little alterations to my bedroom for it to feel more like the person I became in these last few years.

of course I've been working on myself, but sometimes that depression hits and there's not much you can do about it. This site is like a tiny anchor I have to be able to vent my thoughts and also talk about random bullshit that I can't anywhere else. It helps me appreciate the mundanity of life and make it more fun. Like my equivalent of what people in the old days used to do when they'd just go to the local bar or cafe after work and just sit around. I think that sense of community is important.

I replaced the broken screen on my camera using a part I bought online. The only guide I had to work with was a crappy non-step-by-step YouTube video done by a guy who had no idea what he was doing and was surprised when his own repair worked at the end. Anyway I did a very good job and didn’t damage the ribbon cables like he did and now my camera has a shiny new screen. Please clap.

So many people in my life are always cheering me on, always wishing the best for me. Friends, mentors, bosses. I am incredible grateful to them- for seeing the best parts of me, the potential I have, even if I am not always able to see it clearly myself. To meet such kind people, to be surrounded by encouragement and wanting the best for me, I am so grateful for it.
May nonas find and be surrounded by similar people.
(I told my boss today I may be leaving soon and have an interview coming up. I wasn't going to tell him anything until I got an actual offer, but I just felt compelled to tell him today. I expected him to be upset, or at least disappointed. Instead he's aware and encouraging of me coming in late so I can go to my interview, and told me that if offered, I should definitely accept the position. He said my current position was just a stepping stone, so of course it's good to leave if it means moving up. He said he was proud of me (and my predecessor) for leaving to better places. Our position is not meant for the long term. I didn't realize how much it meant to me to hear those words until he said them to me. I just thought "business is business, I have to leave to look out for myself" but here is my boss, encouraging me and wishing the best for my future. It makes my potential leave feel even more bittersweet, but I'm glad to have his support).

I learned to do twisties in my hair before bed and now my hair looks so nice! I'm still fairly new to styling and caring for my natural hair since I had straightened it for so long, and recently I was getting mad with how knotted it was getting and just how it looked after moisturizing. But even after doing it once this week my hair still looks so cute! I'm still learning how to do good twists but I'm happy with my progress regardless. Hopefully I learn to style my hair in other ways in the future but I might stick to salons.

My Nigel helped me put up the punching bag for me to exercise, and it was just next to his home office. As I started doing it, he put on his computer "Eye of the Tiger" and I thought that was pretty funny and cute. Silly things like this make me love him even more everyday, and it's been almost a decade now.
Also, I love working again! I was a complete neet since the start of the pandemic and I finally got a job this July. It can be really tiring at times (it's a retail job on a conbini-like store), but it's heaps better for my physical and mental health than staying at home, I was getting more depressed by the minute. I really need this type of routine and outside stimuli to keep me healthy.

For the first time in over 20 years, I can have chocolate ice cream again.
As a kid, it was my favorite flavor. Actually, even as an adult it is my favorite flavor. I don't really like chocolate to begin with, except as ice cream, but every time I eat it I absolutely shit my brains out. It is the worst experience, and I don't really know why. I'm lactose intolerant but I can eat every other flavor of ice cream with no issue, and consume every other form of dairy (save for straight milk) with no issues at all. It's only chocolate ice cream. It's my forbidden love.
I tried making no churn ice cream, and I mixed in a heap of cocoa powder and… it tastes like chocolate ice cream! Well, because it is kek. But I ate a whole bunch of it and was fine. My threshold as an adult is about one spoonful, every bite after and I start entering dangerous territory, but I ate a whole bunch of this chocolate ice cream and it is delicious and I am unaffected. I am so, so happy.
I'm never gonna buy ice cream again. The store didn't have earl grey tea, but I'm gonna make an earl grey tea with yuzu jam and lemon oreo cookies swirled in next. Then a green tea one. Then a hojicha one! Nothing can stop me, I am going to be the ice cream queen.

>>1311113Nona I'm so happy for you! I understand where you're coming from, I remember this moment happening in my own life not too long ago. It's okay if you have to force yourself to look at the positives (although gritting your teeth and pretending everything is fine is not it!), and then eventually it really will become second nature to see the positives in life. I think shifting your mindset is the biggest hurdle, and then everything after that is just a big snowball effect to bigger and better things.
I hope the future has good things in store for you! ♥

I met up with an online friend today in person! It was so much fun. I was really worried that maybe it would feel a lot different in-person than when we talk online and that it would change my perception of her, but I feel like meeting in person only made me like her even more. It was strange, but in a good way to meet someone for the first time and already have all these established jokes and topics that we could talk about. I wish we lived closer that we could hang out more often, but I'm so happy I took this chance to meet her before she goes away for school.

My dad is attending Mandarin Classes and in one of the classes they showed a kid's video as a guide for the tonal pronunciation. My dad showed it to me and he said the "girl in the video" reminded him of me when she smiled. I thought it was gonna be a real woman, but turns out it was a cartoon kid.
I thought it was just so cute, because it's clear that he's talking about kid me as well (I guess it's the black hair and the cheeks, cause I'm not chinese kek), and that he holds smiling kid me as a good, present memory. Maybe it's silly, but it made me happy and even emotional when thinking about it by myself. I love my parents a lot.

Thought I was gonna have a mediocre day because I forgot my lunch at home and I'm most likely staying late at work today (I had prepped a second lunch too kek) but my boss just came over to my desk and gave me his company card and told me to look up a place to get lunch. Expensive lunch is ok too kek.

I had to (got to?) punch another new hole in my belt. It’s weird because my pants size doesn’t seem to have changed, but I’m now 4 holes down from the hole I was using a year ago. Good job me! Still got 5-10 lbs to go but I’ve done good.

I finally broke off my engagement. I posted about it in a thread here like 3 weeks ago when I first really started to consider ending things as an option, and now that I finally went through with it I’m so happy and I’m 100% sure it was the right decision. Breaking things off even went better than I expected, he totally took accountability for what went wrong and respected the fact that I had made up my mind. I’m so excited to start a new chapter in my life where I can really take care of myself and I feel eternally grateful to the nonnies who saw my original post and said that ending it was the right thing to do, and it would have been way worse to have a divorce down the line.

nonnie. I got engaged young. I only said yes because I pictured us having a long ass engagement. Long story short, some circumstances led to him pushing for a wedding much sooner than anticipated and I went along with it. He was ironically also the one who left very suddenly only a couple years into marriage. It's years ago now so I'm not holding onto anger anymore but I encourage anyone who is only engaged rn to still be an active decision maker in her own life. A ring alone shouldn't mean your future is already mapped out or that you have to follow through no matter what. A broken engagement is better than the alternative.

Things are pretty difficult in my life right now, but I am so grateful for all of my supportive friends. I knew this time would be coming and I knew it would be hard and I'd be miserable, and I had looked into support resources to prepare myself, but I never realized how supportive my friends would be during this time. So many people reaching out to tell me they're there for me or just to offer some kind words. I know it's kind of a weird position to be in, to want to console someone but not being entirely sure how to approach them, so I appreciate them even just reaching out to tell me "I'm here for you."
My closest friends have been a huge pillar of support in my life right now. I feel unbelievably lucky to have people I can be so vulnerable with, who are willing to entertain me and sit with me in public while I ugly cry and listen to me repeat myself 20 times over. I know I will move on and continue life after this, but it really helps having friends walk alongside me through it all too.

Something unbelievable happened today. I popped into a little second hand clothing boutique and they had an Angelic Pretty dress there. (Pic related) I thought it might be a replica even after seeing the AP tag in it, but brought it home anyway since it was so cheap. Looking at it more closely at home & comparing it to photos available online I am QUITE SURE I got a real AP dress for dirt cheap. I can't believe it, I'd heard stories of other women finding lolita dresses in thrift stores but I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have it happen to me!!

I went on vaction and it went horrifically. I ended up having to miss a tour i really wanted to go on and was $200 out of pocket from it, plus I had to pay another $200 to get a plane back. The silver lining? The person who ruined the trip has been taking L after L and I have had a lot of good luck. Since i did not cancel my original flight back, i managed to get half my money back without having to file a claim with my travel insurance. I also may or may no have cancelled a booking the person i was on vacation with had for a fine dining returnat and they ended up having to wait an hour for a table. I also did an exam today and it went amazingly. I found a bunch of glossier products in marshalls for cheap and I've always wanted to try their products and I love everything I bought. I also ate some delicious sushi. I think i might actually graduate with a associates degree after pissing my life hopping from course to course, i actually feel engaged with my current course. Everything is coming up for me and I couldn't be happier.

I moved from a place where people are very thrifty to a place where they aren’t at all. The thrift stores here are much smaller but you can get some great clothes. I’ve been needing some winter clothes so I went yesterday and I found both a good lambswool sweater and a nice Italian silk and lambswool overcoat for $7 each. Slowly phasing out my wardrobe of sad ancient acrylic sweaters, it’s great.

>>1404283This starts strange, but some time ago I was crossing a park at night when a drunk old hobo walked towards me and started to talk. I wasn't in a hurry since subways drive all night so I responded by courtesy first and it became a genuine dialogue. We went from complaining about politicians to history to archeology because I studied that. He talked about Romans to me, he must have watched documentaries or read about them in his old life and he got interested when I brought up anecdotes about Babylonians since he didn't know much about them. After a while a younger hobo (called "The Japanese" because he wore some old cap with the Japanese flag) who was a friend of him joined.
We talked for more than one hour, mostly about archaeology and general observations about society. The old guy gave me the rest of his vodka at some point and told me I could throw it away if I didn't want it because he had too much. He talked about a dog that died long ago that he's missing and the younger guy talked about his wish of starting a normal life again and become a geriatric nurse.
My country is maybe similar than yours because people here are cold and never talk or like to answer strangers or even colleagues so having a convo at night with hobos of all people was a cute experience. Could relate even. Missing the pet, being angry about all kinds of powerful people, wanting to get better.
I don't know about the old guy since he is old but maybe his life will get better again one day regardless of the age. And I have hopes for the young one. He didn't drink and felt perfectly normal to me. I hope he can become a geriatric nurse as he wishes to be. My country has the highest amount of old people together with Japan and Italy, our demography is fucked, we need nurses but don't have enough. Every additional help might make some old people happier too.

I started being more open about my health issue which has been slowing down my freelance (art) work for a long time, and I am so happy that my followers understand it and support me, even if I only post something small and silly, like a flat-colored doodle. It feels like a big weight on my shoulders left me, because I kept blaming myself for being 'lazy' despite me having physical pains 24 / 7 this entire year, and the medication doesn't help much. Now, my opening up to my followers about my health problems made me feel even more motivated to draw more and not blame myself too much. It's okay to have rests, it's okay to not draw every day. It's okay to take your time to progress.
I also ordered my favorite artist's merch. I have not been ordering from Japan ever since COVID hit, and I can't afford to spend money on something so silly while not knowing how much the customs will bite me. But I am happy I finally got something 'useless' after asking for nothing but 'very important adult stuff' like a mixer and whatever for each of my birthdays and Christmases. I am really excited.

After watching the events of the past few years and reading a bunch of scientific studies on antidepressants I’ve decided they’re BS and am getting off mine, which I’ve been on since I was a little kid. The night sweats I’ve had to deal with daily for the past 10+ years have suddenly disappeared and it’s amazing. To be able to fall asleep with enough blankets that you feel comfortable and to then wake up in the middle of the night still feeling warm and cozy and dry is something I never thought I’d experience again. I talked to so many doctors about it, got so many tests done. Maybe since I was on a variety of different antidepressants over the years and the sweats persisted they all assumed that the two weren’t related.

>>1410159I stopped esting mine (Venlafaxin) a few months ago for my BPD and general anxiety/depression. I had been on different SSRIs for close to a decade I think. I feel like I’m much more stable now, which is weird. And I can orgasm easier which is a plus lol. Idk if it’s just my age making me less unstable, but I do not think the pills were really working. I just had AWFUL withdrawal symptoms which in part kept me from stopping them earlier.
I do not mean this as medical advice at ALL, and anyone reading should not do what I did. I had no doctor/therapist contact and I just tapered the dose off myself, which is pretty stupid to do. My experiences are also very subjective too, so take everything with a grain of salt.

I had a doctor diagnose me bipolar as a teen after 2 visits and no testing and put me on pills that I took for years. Had a suicide attempt and all that and I stopped the pills in 2020 because I lost my insurance and I really think it was just teenage depression and anxiety not bipolar. I lost weight and feel better after quitting.
I think doctors just want to push as many meds as they can when trying to live a healthier life generally does the trick. (Same for weed, you don't need it to sleep every effing day.)

I saw the final Evangelion rebuild movie in theatres! I went alone because I like to take little outing by myself, and it's something I wanted to enjoy on my own. I already watched the movie (twice kek) but it was still super fun to experience in a theatre. Substance of the actual movie aside, it was a really fun watch. All the crazy twists and turns in the animation, even though I'm not the biggest fan of CGI in anime, just made it so visually fun to experience. Also, the seats were mega comfy, like if clouds were recliner chairs!
I love taking myself out. The other day I went to a VR pop up event in my city alone because a friend couldn't make it. It was really fun! I used to be hesitant and avoid things I wanted to do unless I found a friend to go with me, but here I am now, even preferring to do things alone! I would've missed out on the VR thing if I ended up not wanting to go just because I would've gone in alone. I really like being in my own company sometimes.

One of the biggest lies that I've convinced myself to believe is I was ugly and untalented. Growing up feeling inadequate to my friends, being bullied and whatnot has led to a decade-long of low self-esteem issues and thinking that I couldn't accomplish anything good or worth-mentioning ever in my life.
It has been a very long journey for me to finally have the confidence and love myself again after never-ending periods of beating myself up in the mirror for not being good enough or pretty enough for the world to recognize me and my talents.
Well, what do you know? I guess life finds a way lol. Look at me now, feeling confident and better than ever. I even graduated from university, and I thought studying isn't my forte at all. I'm glad that whatever challenges are thrown my way, I still have the confidence to tackle them head-on with no fear or hesitation.
My life has been full of transformations and I have to say that I've been through hell and back in my younger years, but that's all in the past now.
Cheers to a better future.

So I am at an impasse where I want to settle into more longterm housing. I crave stability again. But still freedom. Stay in one place for a year, where I can call home and keep my belongings safely until I move again. I still want to travel too. So a long time planning for this and I am narrowing down my options.
I have found countries that offer extremely low cost of living, as a digital nomad it works great. I already have funds and plan to work online. As an eu citizen there are a few options, such as Romania or Bulgaria, even Hungary and Poland are affordable, my first choice was Poland, but as a us citizen there is also Albania. Now they let you stay with no visa for up to a year. That's low cost of living, no paperwork, and a great location. When at home I can work on projects, when I want to travel I have so many options. A nice apartment with a balcony view by the beach is less than €300 a month. Last time I paid that I had to share an apartment in the outskirts of the city or live in a closet sized room with shared bathroom and kitchen and random people. I loved my roommate situation because she was normal and the room and house was great, there were just some weirdos in the neighborhood, but it was never really mine. This could be mine, and I have enough for the entire year already. It's not like I couldn't afford more but I think this is what housing is really worth, it shouldn't be more than this for a basic apartment. I am not living luxury here.
So I think that's what I am gonna do.
The only downside is shipping to there is costly so I have to consider shipping to Italy and popping over to pick it up, I need a mailbox, because it's actually cheaper to do that and I get a trip out of it.
But I am still trying to choose, because I do want proximity to things to do and some countries are better for that.

I only have time to go to the gym on weekends but I have been going almost every single weekend since last summer and I can now deadlift 55lbs! I am also very close to achieving front splits!
It is my goal this year to lose weight but I am trying my best not to self sabotage. I have issues with my body image but I try to tell myself that I've come so far. I'm deadlifting 55lbs!! I think that's awesome! I get really sad sometimes when I see my weight on the scale and it just compounds the guilt I feel whenever I eat, but I tell myself that going full crazy and restricting is just going to mess with my strength gains and that's just not worth it. I can lose weight in a healthy and sustainable way while continuing to lift more and more.

Can we share distinct memories we have but only good ones? Ones so clear you can smell them.
Driving around with one of my food friends in hs at night going nowhere listening to kaskade. One of the truest friends I ever had.
Going with a group from hs to waffle house late at night bc apparently that's a thing they do there. I wasn't living there long and my small hometown shuts down at night. It was pretty good. Breakfast food hits different at midnight.
The one of few times my childhood was stable and I was actually happy, was spending the fourth of july riding around on my bike, eating, swimming with friends and sunbathing in the cul de sac I lived on. By night we had a bbq, did fireworks and sprinklers, and went for a night swim. We put lights around the pool but it appeared black, and it was warm, felt like a hottub.
Times I went to the ice rink and no one was there was very freeing. But also times it had some people and played lights and good music, and on the playlist was Don't Phunk with My Heart, and I felt like I was skating a routine, so carefree.

>>1472554Going to the spa with my best friend and sitting in the outdoor hot tub after dark just chatting and laughing together and secretly taking turns sipping the wine we smuggled in in a water bottle.
Taking a long walk through the nearby woods when I was 12 or so with just me and the dog imagining it to be some grand magical realm and stopping every two minutes to look at some interesting rock or tree trunk and visualize it as a beautiful village for tiny fantasy people.
Trying to stay up all night doing an anime marathon using 360p mp4 files that took weeks to download, eating snacks and periodically covering the computer screen with a blanket when I thought I heard footsteps. This of course to prevent my parents from seeing the light coming out from under the door and berating me for still being up so late.
Walking around a beautiful hillside covered in three feet of fresh snow with more still coming down, nobody else around. I came across a small fireplace in the middle of nowhere covered with a little roof to guard from the snow, with a few logs next to it. It was still smoking very slightly, barely visible, but I went to work blowing on it and adding twigs and logs and eventually I managed to get a really nice big fire going. Then I just ended up chilling there for a while enjoying the heat and feeling very proud of my achievement.
Going out for a bike ride at night as a teen, looking at the city lights and empty streets, listening to edgy music feeling all moody and deep, stopping to smoke a badly rolled joint and take a shitty "artsy" film photo of some tree branches lit up by a street lantern. (I was cringe but I was free)

i got a bad eval from a preceptor tonight, its kinda silly to be so upset cuz i know i didnt do a good job and the preceptor was honestly super nice about it. im still shit at getting histories and im even worse at physical exams and my brain turns to mush whenever i have to present a patient and i get all jumbled so my patient presentation comes out messy, and in the past i would have cut to deal with such intense negative emotions but im just journaling instead and i think thats progress.

I did a little exercise on mapping out all my trauma, unblocked some repressed difficult emotions and memories, had the biggest/most furious cry and found my subconscious wants to murder my f*ther.
Meditated afterwards to calm myself down and explore it and some kinda "fundamental self" detached from the trauma emerged and told me a shittonne of extremely wise stuff? Like nonnas I know it sounds crazy but it really happened! It's been inside me for 2 days before going away and like all the self esteem issues I've been having all my life, all the guilt and self-blame due to living in this shitty society and having a shitty upbringing with inconsistent and distant parents went away? Idk, so many harmful ideas I've been holding onto just went away.
Anyway, I feel so much better all-around, so much more in touch with myself, still lots of stressful things happening but I never experienced something so profound and now I'm having a field day with meditation for exploring all these weird feelings, memories and trauma.
I always found meditation super woo-woo, I was never even remotely interested in spiritualism but I know my T does it (never told me, just read some articles my her) and I'm completely sold.
There's a whole strange, dark and disturbing world to explore! And I'm here for it. Never in my life have I thought I'd ever have a spiritual experience and get so connected with all these weird beings and entities that live in my subconscious.

I went for my first smear/cervical test yesterday and it went way better than I thought nonnas! I was so scared and almost cancelled the appointment, I've probably posted about my fears of it here before but luckily the nurse was really nice and used the smallest speculum from the start. It was nothing like the horror stories I read about, but my legs were shaking and it did burn quite a bit so she did swabs on me too to rule things out. Anyway, I just wanted to say that if you are scared or nervous about it then demand the smallest one and also demand they use lube - and tbh, when she touched my cervix and swabbed me I literally didn't even feel it, like I didn't even know she had done it. Please don't buy into the horror stories online and just give it a go if you need one, I feel so much better now that it's done and I'm someone who has a lot of issues with pain and penetration, so please go for yours but don't also feel like you have to put up with a shitty nurse/doctor who won't listen to your concerns! I didn't time mine but the actual test itself must have taken less than a minute and that was with some extra swabs. I hope this helps some nonnas who are fearful about it because I was a wreck beforehand.

I'm so grateful for LC. I spent my teen years on 4chan, and while I didn't realize it at the time, I'd feel worse after each browsing session. Although some threads are cool, all in all my brain cells and confidence got worn down having to scroll past woman hate threads and pedo shit every day. Like sure I participated in an interesting discussion for 10 minutes, but I spent 20 minutes scrolling past "13 year old girls are prime" and coomer garbage. I just feel good after browsing LC. Also I love hanging out in the vent threads and supporting nonnies and getting support back. Sorry for cringe but I genuinely feel happy when you guys post about achievements or getting past life troubles. LC isn't perfect, but having rotted my brain with 4ch for like a decade before finding this place, it feels like getting out of prison or something.

I think I'm successfully curing my sugar addiction and I feel very proud of myself. It was getting to the point where it was actually tangibly affecting my health I was peeing way too often after eating a lot of sugar, maybe it was a kidney thing and now I only allow myself to have 1 (2 if I've been doing really good) sweet treats a day. I'm learning food discipline and replacing my sugar cravings with other things. When I see desserts in the grocery store I don't feel like I have to get them. This is a part of an overall diet I've been doing as my new years resolution and I hope to keep going.

>>1494840Thank you anon! The best advice I could give is to cut things out one-by-one instead of trying to do it cold turkey. If you have dessert after dinner, cut that out. If you have snacks in your pantry, throw some away or give them to someone else. Once you successfully get rid of something, you'll realize how capable you are of kicking this addiction. I stopped drinking soda (mostly, I still have one or two sodas a year) some time ago and I think that subconsciously helped me. When it comes to cravings, I just ignore them. I wish I could give better advice than that, but it's what I do and honestly sometimes I fail at ignoring the cravings. I think a big part of teaching yourself discipline is being able to say, "No, I don't need that and I don't truly want it.". Sometimes I do drink water to make myself too full to eat, which probably isn't healthy. Personally, I've heard the "eat fruit instead of processed sugar" thing a lot and when I tried that I just ended up bingeing on fruit so I wouldn't recommend it, plus sugar is sugar regardless of where it's from. Maybe you will be different though. Anyway, I hope this was helpful in some way.

I really like him and I know he likes me and I love spending time with him and being physically close and laughing at stupid movies together. This is like the happiest and healthiest crush I've had, like, ever!!! And the way it is developing feels so natural. I said it before but he's so sweet and it's so easy to talk to him and to communicate with him. I'm very happy noonies.

Just got back from my daughter's first movie theater experience. We saw the new Puss in Boots. Our town is small but we have a bitchin theater, and she adored every minute of it. Watching her eyes light up with wonder, letting her have some candy and popcorn all to herself, being enchanted by the big screen… it was pure and endearing. The movie was honestly great. My Nigel recommended we do so for Vday and it was brilliant. Wonderful night.

In some ways, I have been very disappointed by the way I have started this new year. However, I wanted to share one accomplishment in this thread. I feel so much better about not falling back on bad coping mechanisms for stressful situations. I feel like I have really improved and matured since last year! My big takeaway was that nothing BUT doing the things that cause me stress will alleviate anxiety. The for of 2021 and a lot of 2022, I succumbed to my bad coping mechanisms to self-soothe. I would indulge in food and avoid the tasks by procrastinating until I would get sick with stress. So far, I have been really good about not doing that! I have bigger challenges than last year, working part-time to support my education. The hill got steeper, so to say, and while managing schoolwork with my demanding job has been hard, at least I'm rectifying my mistakes by tackling stressful situations head-on. The coping mechanisms aren't 100% solved. Whenever I get incredibly fatigued and sad, I succumb and get myself a new plant. However, all of my darlings are well-taken care of and make me smile to see them thrive so that's not so bad, is it?
I probably have some sort of undiagnosed anxiety… but I don't have the finances to professionally treat that and have had bad past experiences with therapists. I think because I have resolved to be strong and consciously reflect on my actions, I'm getting through this okay on my own. Plus my family and friends are gentle with me and give good advice when my emotions spill over. I love them so much and am grateful for them too.
Picrel is not my pic, but it's one of my ladies that has been doing so well that she needs to be repotted. I'm looking forward to getting her a new pot as a reward for finishing all of my stressful Wednesday deadlines.

avoiding moid centric media has done wonders for my mental health
>what's scrote centric media?
it's reddit, gaming communities and platforms, typically male sports spaces, discord groups, youtube comment section and news through facebook, most action movies and capeshit, including comics and coomer anime.
all of these forums would have some form of moids' comments on how women should look and behave, messages about our degradation, our worth through scrotoid eyes, gender targeted bullying, objectification, pedo excusers, and so on and so on.
benefits i gained since avoiding such shit:
better confidence in real life, self worth not so highly based on looks, no more skincare ocd about wrinkles, i feel more comfortable in my own body overall, i don't feel like i am being constantly looked at and judged, i don't feel like i have to make moids laugh or look pretty for them to feel like i matter, i pursue interests i repressed out of fear of being high maintenance or too girly, i express empathy more freely, i have good conversations with women older and younger than i where we can both learn from each other, it has become clearer to me what's more important in my life rather than a worry of never being good enough, i donate to charities, i enjoy sports even if i am clumsy, i am comfortable looking ugly some days, and i can confidently talk to most people even on my ugly days

This month I went through a bunch of stressful interviews and today I finally got a job offer! And then this evening my big, handsome chad of a Nigel came home from work today with a bouquet of flowers for me and said "Happy International Women's Day!" I'm so happy I get to marry this man.

My pen pal from a different country created a discord server that plays light instrumental music in the background while she works/studies during a specified time. She invited me, and it's just the two of us listening to the music and occasionally messaging each other. It's so sweet that she made this little area for us. I never really thought about such a gesture, but it made me happy to be able to spend time with her like that.

Today is my day off.
I recently bought a Nintendo Switch (after wanting it for literal years) and now I can play all the games I want in this very cozy, rainy day. Not only that, I love my new job. I've been so grateful for getting this position, I've always wanted to work at this place, and now I do! Sometimes the hours are really unforgiving, but I enjoy the results, the people, the work culture. And now I could afford this console and this lovely afternoon.

>>1523899are you me… i've been struggling with something so similar even up to the same point of
>ashamed for even thinking I’m bi and just call myself straight for all intents and purposesI call it "functionally straight" kek.
I think straight with an exception is fucking real tbh. It's real!!! There's only one woman on earth I'd want to have sex with, so what does that make me???? Like it feels dumb as fuck to be like "im bi" and then someones like oh what women are you into and i'd have to be like "well there's just one" lmfao. But then calling myself straight means I can never mention this which makes me feel like im closeting myself even though i'm not ashamed of the attraction, more like ashamed of the quantity, or afraid of being judged by people who can't understand and assume they know more about my sexuality than me or that i'm confused.
So what's the damn solution? People say to just not stress about it and not make it complicated but maybe I'm too autistic to relax while not being able to categorize or make sense of something. I hope one day i can get to the point you nonas have gotten to because right now i'm losing multiple hours of sleep every night in a very OCD way. My brother has OCD and sometimes i wonder if i have OCD lite, the way this issue impedes my daily functioning.
No. 1524406
>>1523943No one can know you better than you especially when it comes to your attraction. It’s literally subjective like favorite colors. It’s ok for blue to be your favorite color and it’s ok to like blue for everything except for hats, which you prefer to be green. Nothing wrong with liking green only for hats, or for being attracted to only one woman.
What if a woman went her whole life only in love with one man and no one else? Would she be a “fake straight?” No one would call her that because it’s a man and not a woman. I’ve gone through my life in love with 3 men and 1 woman. If I met more women like her, who knows? Ultimately I think it’s normal to have deep attraction to a limited number of people, and you can’t know exactly who you will meet and what those numbers will look like.

No. 1524745
>>1524486I’m the anon that posted first… I can’t speak for other anon but I do think I have some variation of this (I always thought I was lucky to not have OCD like my brother and now it seems I am also afflicted with it. I always brushed off other symptoms as flukes because they previously never affected my life like this.) But whatever I have going on isn’t even covered in the article. I guess it’s just a slightly different manifestation of it. It’s more that I can’t understand why I’m only attracted to one woman so I’m constantly performing checks to see A) if I am not really attracted to her after all and am straight or B) if I am attracted to other women and therefor can confidently say I’m bi. I recognize it’s stupid but not knowing makes me feel even dumber. The woman I like has some unique “masculine” traits, so then I also wind up obsessing over if I like her because I’m mistaking her for a man. And a million other attempts to apply logic to the situation. I don’t have money or time for therapy. I have to figure this out myself before my parents catch on that I’m OCD since they already struggle so much helping my brother and it’s not like I can explain my sexual issues to my fucking mom. I miss out on half the hours of sleep I should get so I need to force myself not to perform checks at night and go to sleep normally. But then I think I probably won’t be able to concentrate during the day, which is why I usually push it to night. Idek why I’m blogging like this. I guess it’s cuz I can’t talk to anyone irl.
But anyway back to positivity to try to stay on theme lmfao, thank you for sharing that article with me. It helped me come to terms with what I’m dealing with.

I'm finally accomplishing my dream of going to Japan. I've been a weeb since I was 7 years old, am 24 now and it's finally happening. It feels very surreal.
I'm actually starting to get pretty nervous about it because I've always had very bad social anxiety. And having read so much about how much you stand in out in Japan - including getting stared at, I am worried that would send my social anxiety into overdrive. However I have goals to accomplish there, no matter how unpleasant it may be, so I know I must go.

It was a cloudy gray day but I felt so overwhelmed with joy. I hope you will have many similar moments to the one I had

(Unfortunately our program is dormitory-only. The school has partnered with some company to offer a homestay experience, but it is only for like one day.) I'll be going only for 4 months and I could barely afford that without my family's help. I really wish I could have done at least a year but I won't be able to save up for that. Plus I am graduating very soon anyway, so I don't think I should be delaying my graduation any more than this.
>my second year was a shit show because of my depression Dang, that's another thing I'm afraid of happening because I suffer from depression too. I almost never leave my room where I currently live, but I would hate to carry that as a habit into Japan. There's so many places I want to see there.
>I want to get back to studying it but I struggle a lot with my feelings towards that time in my lifeAs they say, "If you don't use it you lose it". I hope you can keep studying it, because you might forget it otherwise. A woman I met through work, who lived in Japan for several years as a JET, told me she has already forgotten alot of Japanese because of not using it at work.

I'm surprised by how much Japanese stuff I see in my medium-sized town these days. It's not like it has a high Japanese community or anything, either. I've already been with my friends to a Japanese ice cream shop, two different arcades with a bunch of Japanese arcade games, and even saw anime, Sanrio, etc. stuff at a Claire's. lmao
There's multiple ramen places here now. I also went to a Kinokuniya last year that was just one town over. Haven't been, but California seems to have Yoshinoya. Japan has been exporting alot of brands and chains to the U.S.
>I don't need to be fluent enough to work in Japan (did work in a Japanese company here in the states but decided it wasn't for me– culture was very Americanized which was great but salary was abysmal kek), just enough to enjoy my silly little mangos. If you don't mind me asking, did you still get to use Japanese on the job? I'm curious because it would be nice to work a job in the U.S. where you could still use Japanese. (I don't want to work at a place with a Japanese work culture when I hear about how it is) But those would be very hard to find in my field. There's translation, but the pay for that would probably be abysmal as well. I know recruiters in the U.S. practically don't care about any foreign language other than Spanish. lmao And even then, that's usually limited only to min wage or fields very different from mine.
>I hope you'll come back and post about your travels and adventures once you are there!!Thanks so much, will do! I've heard pretty much nothing but positive experiences with studying abroad so I'm amazed. I have a tendency to isolate myself literally anywhere I go, so I was worried I'd still make myself the 1% for who it is miserable, but I think I will be fine even if I don't make friends out of it. I am going there to get better at the language, learn the culture, and sight-see before anything else, so not having friends shouldn't impede it.

My bf is a bit useless in the kitchen, while cooking is one of my favorite past times. He’s a practical guy and willing to learn tho. I gave him a cookbook for his birthday which I thought was such a simple gift, but he was super intrigued and excited by it (he’s never owned one before), he was flipping through the pages the whole evening. Fast forward we’ve been cooking a lot of meals together with varying degrees of success. I was thinking of making a sort of scrapbook-style diary/cookbook where we can write down the recipes we’ve tried, how they turned out, notes on how to improve on them next time and so on. I mentioned this idea to him and he liked the “scientific” approach lol. I’m getting very excited thinking about it.

I love women. Women have a truly loving and special both with each other that is so beautiful and special, it is real true love without trying to exploit or use or pervert. I'm not even specifically talking about romantic love, im just taken aback by how much women connect and support each other. Even here on lolcor where the pettiness and infighting can be ridiculous, you will still see women saying "that happened to me too, im sorry, you're not alone" and sharing pain and experiences together. Whenever I hear about something horrible happening to a woman I feel like she is my sister and I feel grief for her life. Women help each other carry and process pain, and we make places safer for each other. I hear about Women's Lands and honestly it sounds like paradise and I feel so sad I will never experience it. Hearing other women's stories makes me want to make my life in service of helping women, im young so I'm not sure how best to do it yet but I'm going to figure it out and contribute before I die.

I think I managed to put at least one or two aspects of my life in order. Been eating healthy for the most part for the last 5 months, don't get any discomfort in my stomach and gerd symptoms anymore. Taking my thyroid meds regularly (not like I used to) and an antidepressant again, feeling stable and content – it's way easier to do things now, just anything around the house, go for walks, and, well, take shower regularly. No stupid thoughts and rumination, can see clearly what I'd like to do and have in my future. Picked new skincare products for reasonable price that are pretty good in terms of ingredients, especially for rosacea/sensitive skin, can already see a result, my face is decently moisturized and looks better in overall. Been gradually losing weight so I'm not on the verge of being overweight now and I like the way I look with or without clothes. I still need to be more active tho, I'm not exercising at all and I could walk more often. Now I have to find a job, but I don't feel so hopeless about it anymore.
Also it's getting warmer lately and everything will be in bloom soon, it's my favorite time of the year when there's a smell of lilacs in the air.
Wish I could share these good feelings and contentment with nonnies!

I'm finally graduating in May after years of hopping majors. It's just an associates but it's the first graduation I'll ever have. I dropped out of high school, got my GED later, swearing to myself I'd finish college or else I'd never have promising job prospects
Through all the torture I went through in my personal life and the academic thirst for identity I persevered. Thank you world for giving me the strength to be alive, to be here. This trivial ceremony will mean so much to me

I'm a former hikki NEET of a decade, no friends, not even online friends. After a billion bouts of "this is it I'm finally going to end my life", I went sorta manic and decided to reach out to a bunch of randoms online. I now have close to 10 online friends who I video chat and call (used to get sweaty palms at the thought of just chatting). It feels fucking insane to have people to talk to, logging in and hearing ding ding ding from people wanting to talk to pathetic little me.
They're all freaks, and you know what, I don't care. Weirdos, autists, BPD girls, fucking trannies, junkies even. One is a drug dealer who you'll see zooming around on his scooter around town. I recently met up with one (first time hanging out with someone in 6 years) and all we did was play video games and sperg out doing cringe autist shit, and we're both nearing 30. Well, no typical girls night out or wine tastings for me, but it's fine. I finally have a stupid little job and some stupid little friends. I'm very glad to now have a life that has some sort of content.

>>1544817>I found a bunch of discussion groups and stuff for people in my areaCan you share more about this? Was it something like meetup.com, local subreddit, facebook? How did you reach out to them first, private message? Did you say you have no friends and you're just randomly reaching out to people or how did you start the conversation?
Sorry for the autistic questions and feel free not to answer but I'm in the exact situation you were before and I'd love to make some online friends, I've never even chatted online with someone apart from anonymously on imageboards so I don't know how it works kek.
No. 1544881
>>1544822>I feel like in person, I’d go into “professional friendly” mode and wouldn’t find people I can click with. That's what's scary, but I intentionally let my autism loose for this purpose. About "clicking" with people, I learned that you can still be friends with people who aren't your exact type or share the same brand of terminally online humor. Just having someone to hang out with and share a meal with changes your life so much.
>>1544829Mostly Facebook, I sent private messages to a bunch of people I found interesting. Lots ended up not even seen, probably in their spam folder. I'm naturally curious and always bombard people with questions and some people like that, getting to talk about themselves. Just let my spergsona loose and some people took the bait. It sounds dumb but I also comment a lot on random news articles and stuff like that from my area, or reply to other peoples comments. Then I sometimes get people messaging me about comments I've made. It's really weird putting your name out there compared to hiding on LC but damn

Good news is since I have what is known as self control (rather than kinkshaming) I forgot my fast computer charger at my job and am left with the slow one, leaving me to be incapable of looking up porn as often until monday and only utilizing my computer for essential things.
Bad news is, well, given my experience with drawing it, I'm not gonna go "almost ten year without" looking it up either…

Maybe not your average positivity post, but I'm in a class (mods pls no ban, vocational school) of about two dozen women (and one guy) and whenever the topic of UTIs or sex (during breaks) comes up, you'll always, without fail, have at least one woman telling you to pee after having sex.

I’ve been completely morningpilled. I’ve been getting to work on time and have more time in the morning to get ready, so I’m less stressed about work in general. Even today I got my laundry done, went to the gym, bought my mom a birthday gift and meal prepped for the rest of the week before it was even 2pm. I can’t believe how much of a change getting up half an hour earlier and actually gettigg be out of bed can make.

Im so fucking happy. This year I finally started reliably producing my art. Its 3D and I travel to various places to sell at fests/popup markets/farmers markets etc. No online sales. I hate that shit. Been doing decent. By decent, I mean making as much money entirely solo as I would any other standard entry level job arpund here, though I am sure I work more hours kek. This last 2 days, 2 separate things happened that will expand the quality and the size of various items I make. One, is that a piece of very nice equipment I have been storing under trash bags and towels for several years, hoping to use it again one day after my life basically fell apart, is once again up and running beautifully. I knew carting around this thing was worth it. Cant believe it works and is still nearly pristine. Second is that a random gift of very old and somewhat janky power tools was bestowed upon me recently, and I just realized how to use one of the tools to prep pieces for another line of things I make which I can easily make triple the money of my normal average prices. It works great with no repairs needed, no blades needing replaced, no missing components. Like fuck. How could I be so lucky, half that shit was literally scrap bits of metal I picked up. Very happy. Cant wait to get to work. So focused on art that I have emptied the fridge and cabinets and I am down to 1 roll of tp bc I dont want to even take a day off to go to the store kek. Im hungry. Going to finish my coffee and run some errands to restock, then use the rest of the day making art. I hope the rest of my life is like this. I dont have much, but I love where I am right now. I dont even care that my workspace is beginning to reach heatstroke levels. Happy.

Months ago I made a post in the vent thread about how my sister is the only person I'm able to connect with and how I'm never going to find any friends. An anon replied that she is manifesting that I will meet someone who I can truely connect with as a friend.
Lately I have been talking a lot with a girl from my university and we are even planning to hang out during the summer break. I don't know if we are ever going to become so close that we can share things with each other but we are on the same wavelength and I really enjoy hanging out with her. I do consider her my friend and I assume she considers me one too. I love her company and she never makes me feel stupid or tell me that I'm weird. I also love to listen to her talk she is just so lovely and radiates good energy. I'm just so happy! It's been forever since I had a friend. Even if your relationships never becomes deepr than this I'm happy that I got to spend time with her. I'm thankful for the anon who didn't make me lose hope in ever bonding with people, so thank you anon if you ever see this
