Got a kitten recently. Super cute, but so rambunctious.

What do you have against ugly things? (Don't worry, this is all content so it's good)

...as opposed to?

Kittens may be the cutest baby animal.

Love that show!

Been keeping steady, undoing my past 5+ years of bad habits. Waking as the sun rises, daily exercise, less screen time, consistent daily study sessions, and a more adequate diet. My birthday was 2 days ago, My mood is greatly improved because my sleep schedule is regular, and I'm actually committed to building some savings. The past 7 days have been rock solid, and to top it off, the weather is fantastic.

I just hope this keeps up for the rest of the year!

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

but. three day weekend up ahead. so theres that.

Nice poem, melancholy, but still nice. I used to write poems all the time, I think I'll make a habit next month to get back into it.

Today's the anniversary of my dad's death, 21 years ago. I've gotten over the grief of losing him, but ever since, the first-hand experience of watching someone fade away kept my head pretty clear whenever things got tough. I always thought to myself, this life really is brief, in the grand scheme of things, so it's better not to worry about the little things, or even the big things. Good music, good food, good company, good conversations. Might as well have a good time, while it lasts.

its shakespears. sorry I did not attribute but im lazy like that. Its a saliloqy from mcbeth which I actually had to memorize in high school and pull out every so often. A bit of a joke. Losing ones dad is no joke though (or mum). Lost mint to alzheimers and would not wish that on anyone (including me. my sister was diagnosed with early and im not sure if our ability to catch it early is a good thing)

This is my philosophy right here. I want to enjoy what I have while I can.

mixed - lots of stuff up in the air at work that could affect my employment status so that's just in my brain all the time, everything else has been pretty sweet though.

also, has anyone here ever had a nightmare that affected them so much that it carried into the day? just general lingering feelings, ideas etc. i had one of those last night and i am not a fan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

I’ve been a little under the weather the past couple days. Today will be a work from home day as I try to just push through to a 3-day weekend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Keep it up! I might have caught something as well, but so long there's something to look forward to, present struggles seem only temporary!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pretty good on my side, Madrid is very nice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Lots of rain everyday here. But it's cool so I like it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

It's going okish. I went to my friends engagement yesterday. other than that It's was a normal week going to internship mon-fri and going to college sat-sun. however there isn't much work at internship so it's good.

I made a new lemmy account to block every community that makes me upset, since so much seems too crazy to deal with, so im doing better as i prune what i see. I still have my main account to glace at, but i need a break from the world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Seems great, enjoy the laid back communities!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago

Flu time, unfortunately.

Nothing like running a fever for five days, but at least it finally broke.
