  • Lil bit of a bummer, feels like I just exercise, work, and sleep. My limited free time has been spent on my family, which… ughhhh by the time I realized they mistreated me all my life and I hate them, they’d lost power over me, so basically they’re not pushing me around anymore and think we’re all friends, and I don’t know how to tell them that I’m retroactively spiteful. So I play nice.

    Gonna try so hard to get some reading and drawing done in the coming days.












  • My mom’s birthday :> I’m a little sad as I’d hoped to have a surprise party for her, but I had to move unexpectedly and it took most of my savings. But hopefully she’ll enjoy dinner with a couple of her kids.

    ETA also downloaded a geography quiz to take in my idle time. I didn’t really get the K-12 education that’s expected in the US, and I’ve always wanted to do better, but I can’t seem to study anything in a way that sticks. But I noticed I’ve gotten pretty good at word games and sudoku lately, so maybe I just need to make it a puzzle.




  • Not horrendously bad? I had a depressive episode and nearly made some bad choices, but looking at it objectively, everything’s fine externally. Weren’t any outside factors getting worse that drove me here, nothing I can’t bounce back from.

    I think I’m just tired the gym/work/sleep cycle every single day, but it feels like whenever I try to expand, the door gets slammed in my face.

    Hoping something pans out soon.

    That’s actually the joke of the original comic. The kid calls the guy Shrek, and the mom apologizes for her daughter’s rudeness before saying something like “no, that’s just an ugly bald man”.

    I like how every time it gets edited, there are people in the comments who notice the Shrek similarity but don’t always agree if it’s intentional. The artist did a good job on that front.
