I've been going through a personal good patch lately, so I'm doing well.

I recently left my old job which had been stressing me and making me miserable and destroying my mental health. The new job is a lot less stress and a lot more of the work I deeply enjoy doing, so I've been enjoying it. For the first time in ages I'm not dreading the fact that Sunday is almost over and I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'm thankful.

I just finished an art piece that I've wanted to make for a while. It's loosely inspired by "Ocean Limited" by Alex Coleville (more the technique and feeling than contet), but it's based on an ontario marsh that I just could not get out of my head for a couple weeks. I'm not a master artist by any stretch, but it's good enough that when I look at the picture my head goes right there, and that makes me happy.

Today I've just been relaxing, so I'm happy right now.

I've come to the conclusion that the only people who would want to date me would be people who are equally as much of a fucking mess as me. Not sure how to find them but what else is new.

It’s okay to be messy if you compliment each others messiness.

I don’t have advice, I just wish you the best.

I am very concerned about what is going on in the US, and the US' complacency has consequences for the entirety of the world.

Ditto. The hits keep coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and they don't stop...
