@Soreth Oh god chocolate or ice cream sounds amazing... You have far more strength than I do to resist such delicious temptations! :D

I hate not being able to help everyone... but sometimes I have to realize I can't help someone if they refuse to help themselves.

I used to be like that and now I realize the futility of that fight.

re: That Satisfactory game 

@Goldkin Would you say the game is... satisfactory? Eh? EH?!?!?!

@Soreth I mean.... Vela Sushi Roll? Wonder how that'd taste ...

@Soreth Yes, but... but... If I eat everyone else then nobody else needs fish! :D

Remember to take time today to congratulate yourself for everything you've accomplished. ^^

For those out here struggling with something, something that feels like there's no solution or cure... I understand, maybe not the situation but how it feels far too well... but keep trying!

Don't surrender to it!

There is a cure, there is a solution somewhere, just keep fighting and one day you'll find it! Just sometimes it can take longer than we'd like.

Have hope, don't give up, and know I believe in you! ^^

Anxiety, cannabis, discussion, generally positive as hell! 

Of all the things that solved the majority of my problems, it was the one thing I was always warned about the 'dangers' of: Cannabis.

I was always warned about it being a gateway, that it was some big demon that would destroy my life and prevent me from being successful or happy. It would lead me to abusing it, becoming a hollow person. This is still repeated by the media, by the general population...

Hell, even my ex mate was concerned about me using it because I used to abuse alcohol years ago... And to an extent smoke weed every day when I was younger. To be fair, these concerns specifically were valid about using something as escapism, so I can't fault that...

But then I started to use it daily to cope with some emotional shit... and after about a month or two of that... I stopped. For a whole week. Then I started to feel my anxiety creeping back up and realized something. I had no anxiety when I was high... nor for a good while after I had quit. It slowly began to creep back, but not as intense as before.

So I began to experiment, trying small doses of THC:CBD 1:1's, and then my anxiety would just be gone for... 2 days?

Speed up to today, I just need to smoke or take an edible a couple of times a week, and my anxiety stays away entirely.

I'm now generally happy. I have been clothes shopping, I feel happy about my appearance. My mind feels clear, I can feel a wider range of emotions and overall... I feel better as a person. I'm -happy-. I still have moments, but we all do. that's part of having emotions... but overall I feel GOOD. My anxiety is just.... utterly gone. Mind you what I'm describing here is the majority of the time when I'm not high.

All it takes is a bit of cannabis for me here and there, and its done more to help me control the anxiety than the emotional deadening SSRIs I was put on (that we had to stop because of emotional deadening. x.-.x) with the worst side effect being I run out of snacks and have an otherwise fun night gaming and chatting with friends.

So is cannabis a magical cure all? No. But, for me, it fucking helped more than most things and I am going to be happy as fuck about that. Because holy shit I can actually LIVE life and not just live anxiety. It's fucking glorious.

Woo, interview tomorrow! Here's hoping it goes well. ^^

True friends are the friends that believe in you and continue to be there, no matter how rough things get. The ones who even as you make mistakes, they realize you learn from them. They wait for you to return if you go off for a while to take time to yourself or to explore new things.

Cherish those friends, remember to always thank them for being there, appreciate them, and love them like they do you.

Thank you to my friends and everyone else, too. ^^

Otherkin, phantom limbs 

Trying to sleep.

Phantom limbs: Mind if we wake up now? cool! Party time!

Drugs, memory issues 

A bit related to my post way earlier... Been having trouble with memory a little bit. Some just seem to be fuzzy and not sure what's up. I'm wondering if its related to my nightly smoking or not, and debating if I should cut back or if it'll fix itself...

Modeled then printed a stylus pen holder! 3D Printer again borrowed from a good friend, thank you! ^^

Being able to not just create 3d models but make them tangible has really increased my drive for making art again

Personal reflection 

A lesson I learned: Happiness isn't the be-all end-all in life for me, but fulfillment. I've discovered working on things that leave me fulfilled bring me longer term satisfaction... With that fulfillment, the happiness comes.

I just wish I had learned that earlier last year, but alas, I can apply it moving forward now.

I have no clue why I'm more productive while in altered states but I'm also not gonna complain~
