if I survive long enough to get back to school i think I'll go into the political sciences and get into politics. I feel like that would be something I'd be good at eventually.

At least, even now I'd make a better Prime Minister of Canada then Justin Trudeau.

Nigga, get a job already.

Working on it, but things are really falling apart here.

I meant to unfollow one thread in my settings, but turns out I accidentally selected to unfollow all threads. Though truthfully perhaps out of serendipity it was for the best, as I was still following some threads I haven't looked at for a year and perhaps I hadn't come to terms that there are certain things I'm just no longer interested in.

just learned i'd been holding a pencil the wrong way for nearly 2 decades now
I don't know what to do with this information because I'm too busy reeling from it
No wonder my hand cramps so fucking easily I've been deathgripping it as if I was making a fist like a moron for so long now
Not having fun completely relearning how to write and draw, but i'll manage
at least now I know how people can underline and circle shit so easily without going over what they wanted to underline/circle while doing so

You were holding it like top left?
I won't lie, that's pretty sad. But, no time like the present to change it.

it's like bottom right if the thumb was overlapping two fingers on the top and gripping really hard
I do not appreciate the smug comment :/

Today I had a conversation with a nice older woman, who's much wiser and knowledgeable than me about life and the world. We talked for a while about our interests and hobbies. She was very humble and down to Earth, it just caused me to have one of those revelations where I suddenly became very aware of how little I actually know about life. She's accomplished a lot of the things in life that I want to do one day and I realize how much I have to do to actually get to that point.

The whole time I never felt like she was speaking in a condescending way to me. Usually I would just say what I think or believe and she would just ask me to expand on that a little more and explain my thinking to her.

She actually pointed out things about me that I wasn't really aware of like how I tend to apologize a lot for things that are unnecessary and that might be a sign that I care too much about how other people perceive me. She noted that it's OK to voice disagreements in a civil way even with people you like. And not to place so much emphasis on how other people potentially might react to something that it causes you to try to appease them for the sake of getting along. She said how it's good that I have the intention of trying to be nice, but I'm going about it in a unhealthy way.

I think the best advice she offered me is that life is meant to be learned by experience. A lot of people tend to adopt a certain ideology and then try to get their world to conform to that; however it should be the other way around. Your beliefs should be shaped by your life experiences by actually living life. So place less emphasis on reading other people's life experiences and start having your own.

There were a lot more things we discussed but I feel like these points stood out to me the most. This lady has inspired me to make small changes to my life. I think I should apply "measure twice cut once" to my posting style and post less often, but try to write more meaningful posts from now on.

I'm on top of work, finances, cleaning, eating well, taking vitamins, and even working out a bit. All I need to do is acquire an actual social life and things might start to be less rubbish.

I'm staying over at my dad's house for a bit before I go back home and it's driving me fucking insane. I've been eating shitty fast food while waiting to hear back from interviews and job applications and I'm starting to go crazy from eating nothing but fast food. Worse still, my fall allergies are kicking in and it's hitting me like a brick this year. It feels like a traffic jam.

I got to be honest, at that point you should put Linux on it. Linux can sorta run Windows apps

It sounds silly, but after playing a game of Paper Mario on my Nintendo 64, my mood managed to improve dramatically. I’m able to think in ways where it doesn’t seem like I’m just dooming and glooming for no reason at all.

I start a new job next week that'll have me working nine hours a day. I'm nervous as hell and bracing myself for the grind, but the positives are that it's a remote position with a good fit for my skills, and the pay is going to be really good too. Not used to waking up earlier (usually get to sleep in) so I bought myself an alarm clock. Gonna suck having less free time but I’m not about to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Very excited because for the past few days me and my husband have been planning on adopting a kid! I can't wait to be a father and so can't he.

Showed E.T to my nieces for the first time. Honestly surprised they weren’t scared by him.

Still for the life of me I have no idea what kind of insult “sine supremus” is supposed to mean. Couldn’t answer that one when one of my nieces asked me.

I'm guessing it means the supreme assshole.

I've also heard it means big nothing, so I'll never know.
