Dang has it already been that long since I last posted? Well, I've been kind of in a slump on running. I don't like the route I take by my house. Probably going to find a place to go after work to jog from now on. Also, I really got into Pickleball from the guys at work. It's so fun! I can't believe how many people are into this game! I go to the pickleball courts after work about 2 days a week now and it's slam packed of people of all ages, races, and genders. It's the most popular sport in my area and it's not even close. I play for about 2-3 hours after work 2 days a week, and I play with my dad on the weekends sometimes. I'm finally back in shape! This weekend I hiked up a mountain up and down and was surprised how easy it was compared to last time. I kinda want to find a complicated hiking trail with rocks and streams and just hike. I don't have any hiking friends though :(

I feel like if you whipped out the weiner in front of Revy she'd say some shit like... Heh. Not bad kid.

@gabriel_true Day 142: Just came back home from returning our aunt Jackie's car we used. We were immediately fed upon arriving...I think we finished a whole bag of chicken and then made two-to-three rounds of chicken from two other bags they had, as well as finishing all of their bag of mozzarella sticks XD. Then when leaving they let us take two or three tubs of ice cream that they had, whipped cream for said ice cream with sprinkles, chocolate syrup and fudge, and M&M's; then I took five ice cream sandwiches (one was for my eldest sister and second eldest brother), and my twin took four or five breakfast sandwiches they had lol. Then because we apparently didn't take enough, they gave us a box of Monkey Bread they had, and after we finally stuffed our freezer bag full of their house, they let us leave (but not before we gave them plenty of hugs and kisses). - Having Older Relatives Is Like A Free Grocery Store: Ying

Catastrophic Necromancer on my 4th time reading it. Somebody please recommend me something obscure in the fantasy category I'm dry as shit.

Something I said to a close friend recently through text: "Even if you repeat yourself, that's often how the healing process often is, very repetitive. Somedays may be better than others, and on the other end, sometimes you may have to repeat to yourself step 1 on how to process something, but even when it feels like you aren't doing something, you ARE. Sometimes your progress doesn't come as quickly as you want it, heck, you may not even see results yet. But this moment is important (yes, even the repetitive stuff) for you because you are taking the broken fragments of your mind/emotions/spirit and learning to put into practice healthier habits or word practices. It's like if you're used to talking yourself down, and I mean that in the sense of verbally abusing or mistreating yourself, and then you go to therapy to actually talk about those internal struggles against yourself. The therapist might advise that for every negative thing, try to find-even if it's just one-something positive to say about yourself or your day...even if you may not necessarily believe it at the time. The therapist gives you the advice not necessarily to give you a false hope and say that you thinking or speaking more positively will immediately cause those thoughts or unhealthy habits to cease, but it DOES open up a doorway for you to begin to unlearn those unhealthy ways. The therapist isn't giving you the advice to give a permanent solution necessarily, but it's kind of like a prescription to fend off old habits. Those thoughts or issues may still be there, but if you begin to acknowledge the way you feel or think about yourself, current situation or even a people/person in your life, and then apply (in our case as Believers) scriptures, prayer or even just words that give life to your situation rather than death, it can begin to have a more positive impact. It's just that in order to truly recognize these unhealthy things, on top of learning how to deal with it, sometimes you need to go through the nitty gritty of going through a repetitive process of these things to truly know how to best approach it. If that makes sense? Basically what I'm saying ultimately is this: even when you feel like you aren't making progress, it actually is being made, it's just not yet perceived."
