  • In a way, I really don’t feel I need to. I’m fully aware and understanding that more bad times are certainly to come, for me and people around me. But I truly can’t think of anything that could possibly happen that would be as bad as what I’ve already gone through. As naive as that may come off as, I really do think I’ve gone through the worst parts of my life already, and although I’m certain I’ll experience grief in my future - I don’t think it will compare and I think I’m already prepared to cope with that. Until then and always, I’ll just keep it pushing!




  • For me, I think it’s just a distinction I’ve made in my mind. The world is not bad, it is wonderful and beautiful, but the people on it are bad. Specific people consistently too will always be there to ruin it and progressively destroy it around those who simply wish to live peacefully. Its not that I’ve no care in the world or ignore issues as they pertain to me policitally, but I do everything in my power to push things towards what I believe is right, and I separate and acknowledge the things I cannot do anything about. We as people can only do so much and if you do anything towards what you truly believe in? I think thats better than most. In the interim, it’s about putting those things to the side and living in the present moment, saving the introspection and political concerns for another time.


  • It was really more of a gradual change, that only this year truly have I become to consciously appreciate and understand what it is I have. I’d say it happened after getting close with colleagues I work with at my not-so-new-anymore job, learning how much in common we really have and having some perspective brought on me by all the people I’ve met and spoken with through the years. Friends, romantics, and even the things I’ve learned from enemies and similar experiences… All of that added together has made me the best version of myself I’ve ever been and I only strive to improve that further.


  • Glad to hear of your advancements as well :)

    Something that I’ve started to look back on just a few years ago is being able to go to many places around the world as a child. My parents were almost always able to take a vacation for ~ 2 weeks a year. We’d almost always go a new place, I’ve been to several islands and across new countries. I’ve been on ultra long road trips and plane rides. As that started to die off, going through my life and all the way to now - totally moved out and adulting on my own like everyone else - I really start to appreciate those memories. And i have so very many pictures of those memeries and of the places ive been able to see.

    Anyway, to the important question: pineapple complements specifically a sweeter sauce. I’m into it!






  • I get you. Been a little while since I went, but it was hell. Idk how much longer you’ve got left but I can absolutely promise you with certainty that in your scenario, it will 100% get better with time. One day you’ll be graduated and look back not understanding how you even got through it, but you’ll be so glad it’s over.

    I worked four 10s through the week in uni, and did full time classes all day on every single day I had off. Man that sucked. Stemmed from the same issue you’re facing, and to me it was worth it to move out and struggle that way than it was to face the constant back and forth between my family and I. All I can really say, is keep it pushing and finish strong. Because it does get better, even if it feels like it never will!

    Network Administrator at a growing company. We’ve expanded quite a lot at this point, and although that’s my title I do basically everything with my small team from writing code and pissing with the servers, to installing cameras and helping old sally when her computer freezes.
