Well, it seems like things are finally starting to settle for me. I'm no longer on edge about employment as I've landed a part time job with a friend's construction business, and I'm riding out my change in diet pretty well.

Looking forward to going camping at the peninsula tomorrow.

I should also make mention that this involves my friends from the arts collective I'm a part of. For those who are aware and/or have met them.

Spontaneous plans and adventures are what I'm about. Though if I'm gonna invite people along, I'm starting to figure out that I need to be mindful of prior plans people have made and work towards giving more notice.

Trade? 

I currently have an Asus ROG G752V gamin laptop I hardly use. It's a beefy pizza box of a computer that is great for 3D graphics work. I installed Ubuntu and that resulted in a heaphone jack incompatibility that is simply a driver issue. Reinstalling windows would resolve the issue.

I'm interested in trading it for a 2 in 1 laptop tablet with a stylus such as a Surface Pro 4 or Lenovo Yoga given I'm more of a 2D artist and not much of a gamer.

Thank you all, love you all!

I'd like to remind folks that I have a dragon.style account for my longer and more in-depth introspections here. Cheers!

Gender, or lack thereof. 

I'm making it official. I'm going entirely nonbinary. I could be a they/them, but I'm getting into the habit of using individual names in place of pronouns as an experimental linguistic choice.

Forgiveness 

In times where brain chemistry is amiss, it really is too easy to take shit personally right off the bat.

But in the end, I would rather forgive them. Because in the same way that they don't know my full story, I don't know theirs either.

Sugar Demons 

Since I went on this whole venture to cut vices out of my life, I feel like the biggest hurdle so far is cutting sugar out of my diet. Coupled with intermittent fasting.

A part of me feels like my biggest mistake is doing this while Mercury is still in retrograde. A state where everyone's synapses short out for a month and we all go through our own personal hell.

Cutting all of these toxic substances out of my diet seems to have had horrible effects in my ability to communicate with people. In turn it's leaving me stuck in constant worry about alienating my friends.

I know I'm not the only one who's going through tough times right now... As much as I want to help out I feel like I'd only make things worse.

A part of me feels as if whatever demon I kept suppressed through sugar and carbs is putting up an illusion. That all of this is not real and it's just another form of trickery to make me fall off the wagon.

The only reason I made it this far was because I didn't give the devil advance notice. Now that I'm far into the game, it's become desperate.

I feel that if it can't sabotage me, it'll sabotage my friendships, my progress in life, anything it can do to make me miserable.

I'm fucking sick of it. I just want it gone. I want it out of my head. I want to move on with my life and not wallow in thoughts of self doubt and depression. All I feel is bitterness... Not just in my feelings, but as a taste in my mouth... Whatever nasty and disgusting toxins are leeching out of my system, and they aren't happy that I'm evicting them.

I had no idea we're just exiting a Mercury retrograde. Now things are making a hell of a lot more sense.

Sugarless Insanity 

Sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine. That's abundantly clear in how much it's fucked with my brain chemistry over these last few days...

My spoons are practically zero and I look forward to simply running up and down the Washington Coast like a raving lunatic this weekend.

OCD Addenum 

Because what good does throwing it back do? I'll use it to my advantage to grow a beautiful garden.

OCD 

When afflicted with OCD, try as I might, it's hard to not take someone else's shit. If that's the case, I'll use it to fertilize my crops.

Dogma Destroys, Karma Creates 

Having an open mind and ever changing opinion is karma. To unleash a personal attack on someone's character and spread gossip is dogma.

Dogma is an easy route to satisfaction, which in the long term comes back in the form of their own self destruction.

Karma, on the other hand, takes patience. It pays off in the long run to treat others the way you want to be treated. If someone treats everyone like shit, then they're gonna get shit in return.

Drama 

I'll have none of it. Plain and simple. I work on staying preoccupied with meatspace to the point of not caring about it. If by some reason a part of my obsessive-compulsive mind latches onto some frivolous bullshit? It's a reminder that I'm not being productive enough, so it's time to get out there and do some shit! Shine bright in a sea of darkness!

Addenum 

To be even more specific on the variant of responses. Reflect the energy like a mirror, store it like a battery, or dissipate it into rainbows like a prism. With negative energy, dissipation is preferred.

On being a crystal 

More specifically, the energy that's put out by said situation.

On being a crystal 

If it's my response to a situation that matters, I'll just sit here like a crystal and let it dissipate into rainbows as it passes through me.
