It's been a week since I picked it up. I have only just started reading. But, I find myself already in love with this book. However, it's a bitter sweet experience. It's a story of a woman who is forgotten as soon as she is out of sight. It's entrancing, but it's quickly become a heavy weight. I relate to Addie far too strongly. I...

Ooh, I read that book earlier this year. It was pretty good. I hope you like it!
wolfwood1203:
@kiley I'm definitely enjoying it so far.

So, I got a new book for the first time in years the other day. I mean a physical copy, not digital. I've got plenty of books on my phone these days. But it's been quite a while since I had a new book physically in my hands. And good god I had forgotten how amazing they smell. I cracked it open to thumb through...

As I was reading it I could almost feel it all you described... I love the smell of books!

Books ❤️ I could never adapt to ebooks.

So, I've got a friend who I met online that I exchange emails with. I think we bonded pretty quickly over our shared mental health issues, and have been talking for a year or so now. In the last email I received from her, she mentioned that the tone of my message sounded happy. That took me by surprise, because I don't feel happy. I...

Cooking for 9 freaking people in the middle of summer sucks! I can't stop sweating now. Spending a couple hours in the kitchen with ovens and stoves on is miserable when combined with the triple digit heat. At least I got to eat dinner while it was still hot this time...

Uggggh, it's so miserable. It's so hot in the evenings I only want to eat cool things like salads and fruits.

I'm too fat for this shit. Just got off of the rowing machine. I know it's been helping, but good god I hate exercise. On that note, I'm down about 30 pounds from my starting weight, which is nice. But, I still have a long way to go.

I used to think that the part of summer (other than the heat) that I hated the...

Damn, losing thirty pounds is amazing!  Congrats!

@libris Thanks. It's a nice number, but I've still got a long way to go.

Good old cycles of crazy. Sometimes I'm content where I am, keeping the day to day routine going. And other times... I just feel like running away. Maybe just for a short time, maybe for the rest of my life. I don't know.

I don't think I've ever had a proper vacation. Of course, I don't generally believe that I deserve one. Why would I?...

You should start planning trips just for fun.  They say people have more fun planning a vacation than actually being on vacation, and I believe it.  Are you able to take walks around your neighborhood, or go somewhere you love that's drivable?
wolfwood1203:
@libris Sadly, my car is kind of illegal to drive at the moment... issues with the registration and such. And seeing as it's 95° out right now (and only getting hotter), walking isn't the most pleasant of options. Beyond that, I don't actually have anywhere that I love to go.

You know it's bad... when you even start checking your spam folder, and are disappointed to find it empty. I don't even get spam messages anymore. I'm getting too lonely for my own good.

It's been ages since I last wore my hair down. My niece gets jealous of the natural wavy look it gets sometimes. Have I mentioned I hate selfies?


So, it's been about two months since I started actively trying to get healthier. I think I've lost about 23 pounds at this point. But I let myself get bad, so it's still a long way away

You look great, and that's fantastic you're sticking with it!  Finding meds that work for you and your brain chemistry is difficult, I'm glad you were able to find some that help with the anxiety.
wolfwood1203:
@libris Thanks. Though I'm sure it's just the angle of the picture being a little more forgiving... I'm just lucky the meds are working this time, because I don't exactly have a lot of options right now.

So, like a lot of people, I've been playing Elden Ring these last couple of months. Picked it up at launch, and it's taken me quite a while to get through. And now, a few months later, I've hit my first wall. That wall being... the final boss. I've managed to get through everything else without getting stuck, minus a couple optional bosses I never...

I know it wasn't a healthy thing to do. But I couldn't bring myself to get rid of Pilz-e's litter box.

Eight months later, I just got it into my head that I needed to do it. So, I just dumped all the litter out. Emptied the last vestiges of my best friend into the trash...

I know it needed to be done. I know...
