mental health,
Mar. 28th, 2024 09:38 pmEarlier today I was exploring the internet, as once does, and was linked to this fascinating comment on Reddit about No Zero Days. CW for mental health stuff, of course, but it was really nice to read a comment by someone who's clearly not a professional but who has good stuff to share.
( Cut for MH stuff )
ANYWAYS, bearing that last thought in mind, I....signed up for intro to swing dancing! :D :D :D I have never taken a single dance class, I am not a dancer, but I think this is going to be so much fun. Just a great way to get out of the house, do something active (releasing endorphins! GIMME!!), something fun, and something with other people. Even if these other people are to not become my BFFs or anything like that, they'll still be acquaintances for about a month and maybe even longer! Who knows!
I'm so deeply excited about it. ;o;
I also signed up to do volunteer work on Earth Day! \o/ My company supports its employees doing volunteer work and I like volunteering! It makes me happy doing some good sometimes. ;3; So I might be signing up for more volunteer opportunities in the near future. :D
In other news, I got really, really into Baldur's Gate 3, was playing like six hours a night (unheard of for me!) and then got really, really anxious about it and had to set it aside for a little while. This is how you know I'm a mess. XD; Honestly, I suspect it was because I was getting on Reddit and reading people ~hot takes~ and it got in my head; I need to not do that! But I was also getting overwhelmed by how open it is and how welcome mistakes are, because they lead the story in different directions! So many different directions. It makes it a little hard to look up help. And idk, it was just a lot. I'll definitely come back to it when I'm in a better mental state. For now, I'm gonna try to focus on games with simpler mechanics, I think!
Also! I saw an ad for this CLAMP and Netflix collab to adapt Grimm's fairy tales. I'm kind of interested in watching this! If it has ridiculous CLAMP dramatics and homoerotic tension, that's all I really need. I encourage the plots to be incoherent as hell.
And with that, I leave you guys with a picture of my most beautiful little girl, Chicken Nugget (we call her Nugget). ♥ ♥ ♥
