Day One.
Well, I haven’t used this site since I was about twelve. I’m now nineteen. I’m not really sure what to do to be honest. I just need to feel productive and need something to keep me motivated because since I left sixth form, all I’ve done is sit in my room watching YouTube videos and it’s not exactly the most healthy thing to be doing for a year and a half.
So, this is day one of me trying to do things with my existence and not be the waste of space that my family tells me I am.

sometimes I forget I live in student housing and then I'm in the middle of studying for my exams and they start partying :/ It's not even 6 pm and I have never been so thankful I spend a stupid amount of money on noise canceling headphones. Oh well I quess I cannot except other people to be as antisocial as me
Good thing you have those noise cancelling headphones! I’m sometimes a bit annoyed that there’s a zero tolerance policy according alcohol at my group home, but one perk of that rule is that there’s no wild, loud parties happening here. At my old group home where I shared an apartment with other people an unexpected party could easily fuck with an already bad day - and I don’t miss having to cope with that kind of shenanigans!

Spirituality, Healing and Me: Trying to be Better Excerpt
‘Spirituality, Healing and Me’ – Trying to be Better ‘Excerpt’
“If you believe in spirituality, you’ll know how important it is to try to do better than you did yesterday, to be a better person.
We may not always think about others, we may not do right by others, and we may hurt others because we’re unconsciously hurting too, but that is no excuse. Trying to be better means we take out certain traits like self-righteousness, and the ego. It is a goal we should never lose sight of.
Through spirituality, we can change to be more considerate of others, be more tolerant, learn to embrace others. Through spirituality we can start to appreciate the little things. The little things help us to stay grounded and humble; it means we are able to focus our attention on what heals us, nurtures and sustains us.
Although being spiritual cannot stop the bad things from happening, by trying to be better people, we can learn how to handle ourselves better and that helps us in our personal lives, in our relationships.
By practising gratitude, and challenging ourselves to think positively, we’re shifting the emphasis, and that can help us find a valuable source of mental balance. It’s something we should all try to do.”

Starting on a new journey. Facebook kept sending me adds about this so I finally broke down and decided to buy it. The reviews were good and it might help me form better drawing habits so why not? I got the physical and digital versions. I've never had a journal keep my attention for long. So wish me luck. Just finished a goku sketch that I want to ink when I get a chance. Have a few new drawing books and might try "draw a box". #herosjournal #theherosjournal #nerdatwork #tryingnewthings #tryingtobebetter (at Louisville, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVLt1fF0Ro/?utm_medium=tumblr

Why do I feel left out all of a sudden?

Sorry to bother anyone that may read this, it's probably gonna be long and kinda ranty... So here goes
I was a chef before covid, had a bad relationship and never knew any gay or nonbinary folks. So I kinda have not much experience with that and the whole pronoun thing and thought for a (to) long time the stereotypical things.
So yeah then I got a better job in an institution that works with disabled or differently abeld ppl, teached my "flock" (?) for lack of a better word some cooking and helped running the kitchen in a smol café where me and my coworkers... well worked and tried to help adjust and prepare our folks for jobs outside (if possible) in the "real world".
It was, even thought I would never have guessed it my dream job. Then Covid hit and my contract didn't get renewed cuz we couldn't keep the café open. Which sucks... Like really really much and I'm still kinda sad bout it.
So here's the kicker and why I write this: I've grown a lot in my time there and thought long and hard bout many of my views and behaviors and some of it was bad and dump, so... I came here to ask how I can be more inclusive and how do I use the pronouns correctly.
Is it just when I talk about ppl with preferred pronouns or do I adress folks directly using thier preferred pronouns? Cuz where I come from we have an informal way of addressing someone and a more formal way and I don't think any of them a gendered. (am from Germany)
Kinda need/want to know this cuz I'm going back to school soon and may even study after that, cuz... well see last year was shit and I know not only for me but for all of us, and as I said I thought bout my old beliefs and behaviors and I want to be a better person and bring some positivity, frick knows we all need more of that.
So how do I do this? How to use preferred pronouns proper?
On a related note... How does one know if one is nb? Is being bi nb? I gotta lotta questions, and frankly noone to ask...

Resume, resume, resume
Here I am once more finding myself at a crossroads of fitness and lifestyle change, but this time something is different. I am different, I took a few moments and read through my past posts on here and I can see that girl struggling against things she didn’t even know she was fighting. Now with most beasts lain clean, I feel different, I have greater commitments to awful things, my entire world collapsed in on itself last year, as it did for soo many people, but it really gave me the opportunity to evaluate what was important in my life. and what wasn’t.
What happened was I found out I have a nodule in my lung, which SCARES THEE ABSOLUTE SHIT out of me, so when I lost my job in march because of covid-stupid I took that time locked myself in a room with schitts creek, my weight in junk food, enough weed to kill a horse and diamond paintings and I went and I actually quit smoking this time for real. Im nearly at 8 months without so much as a craving now and stellarly impressed with myself. When I walked out of that room a month later, everything felt new and shiny, I had tastebuds and sense of smell regained, I felt as though I could tackle anything, of course then came more shittiness but still have not gone back to it and I am so incredibly proud of myself.
So with smoking behind me, my job returned to me, and my anxiety better than it has ever been thanks to my lovely cbd pills I am finally on track to deal with final challenge, lose the weight that has been holding me back my entire adult life, which I am aware is not that long, but is way too long to let me hold myself back from getting shit done.
I started on January 4th counting my calories and making a conscious effort to get out and be active outside of work, I work with kids so its very active there as is. Everyday this week I have stayed well within my caloric limit and have surpassed all my fitness goals everyday, and yesterday I met my water drinking goal. Im so fucking happy I cant even contain it, my friends are sick of me telling them how well Im doing but I dont even care. Im finally getting shit done and Ive never felt this motivated to actually do it. Last Friday I weighed in at 381.9 and today I’ve weighed in at 375.7 and goddamn it I could not be more proud of myself!!!
Thank you for reading, Im gonna go eat a salad and do some yoga!
