Studying helps to better someone, has it not?
I'm working more and volunteering more often as well, haha~

Decided to do Laser eye surgery aka Lasik, it is expensive as hell but atleast I wont have to wear glasses for the rest of my life!

Lately I have been started making sure that I get the proper amount of sleep, due to my attitude and laziness whilst not having had a good sleep.

Well I went outside recently

I went outside today for the first time in a couple months and I went to get the mail and I talked to the mailman for two whole minutes!!! and then I went out to the mall with my imaginary friends who think I'm super cool and popular, I think I'm progressing at learning how to socialize like normal people in society, also lately I started exercising better because the walk to the mailbox was a good 15 feet or something and I started getting into better eating habits because I went from only eating pop tarts every meal and now I eat organic pop tarts!

SELF CARE.
showers, buying new shampoo, new care products. they make me feel so good and i have something other than stress on my mind for a little while.
everyone needs a little selfcare, and it seems bath products do lots for me

Cleaned the house today to get some of my OCD out of me .

Decided to stop making friends. Hypocrites and backstabbers, all of them.

Live in solitary is the best.

Eating a variety of foods instead of the same shit.

I've started getting rid of my "procrastinator" side bit by bit.

And by bit by bit, I mean really slowly. Like the speed of a snail, but progress is progress.

That doesn't seem like bettering yourself at all, rather the opposite.

My two cents:
Prolonged episodes of self-induced solitude just made me very unhappy long-term. Getting hurt by others is awful, but deciding to withdraw completely from having any sort of meaningful relationship was worse. It was a silent, creeping pain, a dangerous one because you start accepting it as part of your personality, because you start to cozy up to it.

You aren't special. People are just people. If you get hurt, remember: Some of them are awful, but most of them are just stupid (shoutout to Hanlon's Razor). This applies even more when you are still in your teens.
And oh well, people can be pretty great once you know how to deal with them.


Go out, meet some people. You need them. We all do. Don't shoot yourself in the leg by choosing to not trust anyone anymore. Trust is always a risk, but solitude is already a loss.

I don't think I elaborated enough. Apologies.

I don't plan on being alone forever. In fact my dream is to go meet people, have a family, all that good shit. But for right now, I want to be by myself.

Thanks for your concern.

fair enough. Taking a break can be a very good thing to do, no doubt about it. I hope you get it sorted out and best luck to you.
Have a good one

I decided to invest more time in the forums, and maybe contribute more in some form that way to the community. :oops:
I've been cleaning and keeping my room organized to reduce stress,
and mostly planning ahead for the future.
It helps relieve a lot of unnecessary from your shoulders.

I've finally delt with my confidence issues by just being upfront about everything. If I feel a certain way , I won't be afraid to express it , having an opinion is really important in the line of work I'm planning to go through :)

I've managed to force myself to work out properly and eat well over the past few months--nothing over-the-top, but enough to get me in something resembling proper shape. Since I got into it for real, I've lost upwards of three inches off my waist and I'm getting some actual definition everywhere, even in the abs.

I'm also managing to get even more gigs and shows on the go, and generally making myself a little more outgoing. Money's getting a lot better and I'm slowly inching towards some actual teaching work. Life's looking up and I love it. This fitness thing's only making me feel even better about myself too.

Not playing Love Live! SIF for a day was really the opposite of what I'd expected... I a lot of other things done and being that I'm on summer vacation right now my productivity has increased tenfold

I'm sure it doesn't seem like much, but I dyed my hair today, and I got back on my meds back in May, and I've lost about 20 + lbs so my confidence about my body has been going up (It's been so-so since I had my daughter) And since I just joined the osu game 4 days ago and I got my First A last night! I know it's only on Easy, but I've had steady progress the entire time! It's very reassuring.

Uhhh...

Well...

Well, I started learning Japanese, but that's not really recent. I'm about 9 months in.

So, yeah, that's it. :o
Shota
I am learning to work with my anger and sharp tongue.
I am trying to become less prideful
Learning to ignore what people say about me
Learning to fight depression and anxiety issues
Learning that even if I have to act like someone else, I am still me on the inside
Working on getting a job while trying to do better in my college classes
Going to start saving for a car, then work on getting a place of my own
Going to try and fix my view on myself, so I am not as hard on myself all the time.

Overall I am sick of seeing myself as something I am not, and what people want me to be.
I am going to better myself for me.


Any tips of any of the things on my list would be awesome. But, it would be best if you told me through message.

This month I've properly started up my food blog and aiming to make my theatre blog a little more active. I think I've finally decided which direction to go in :)

A tip for life: Write everything down, especially your goals for a certain time period. Write daily 'to do' lists, schedules and make them look pretty. It's a small thing to do, but the outcome is huge! :idea:

I'm trying to move away, that's a start.

Decided to put more effort and dedication into the piano.
Just went through my grade 8 exam and it felt great, so hopefully I'll get better since I wasn't really interested in it that much before.

i stopped being so attached to virtual items, which was to a point of being selfish and immature, and i now give them to friends and people that i like regardless of the item's value. items are not worth that much in comparison to real life interactions, i found out.
