  • Going to work out before it gets dark outside.
    I’m perfectly happy with my body, it’s taken me years to get to this point but now I don’t care what people think. I exercise because it makes me feel good, not because I want/need to be skinny.

    It’s hard to find workout tops and sports bras because I am so big chested, I’m not saying that to be weird, it just is what it is lol
    Someone is outside on their porch talking on the phone and laughing like a hyena. It is almost 3am. My windows are closed and I can still hear them.
    I have considered moving somewhere more urban, but this problem would probably be worse closer to the city.

    That's actually one thing I love about being so incredibly rural. I still have to block noise from really loud cars and things like that, but at least people aren't crazy-inconsiderate out in the middle of nowhere

    I'm in the city and it can be pretty bad. People playing loud music, people's TVs under my floor and I can hear it when I'm in bed, people coming and going to the club and drunk yelling or singing on the streets, talking about some girl they got drunk...

    People constantly drilling, cutting wood from morning to evening in their appartment, neighbors talking and laughing at you, the way you dress, if you don't say hi or talking back naughtily if you say hi. Definitely don't move to appartments.
    I never realized how hard sleeping alone would be. I’m crying myself to sleep.
    I think I’m going to do some solo traveling for the rest of the weekend because being alone in my house makes me feel awful.
    My early birthday/“un-birthday” celebration is in two weeks. My friends have really gone above and beyond for me this time so I’m excited for what they have planned. I hate surprises but they said I will love the gifts, and I’m excited for the party (picnic at the beach, and then bowling, arcade, and a party and drinks at a nightclub.) This is my last year in my 20s so I’m going out with a bang lol
    Why are there birds singing outside at 1:45am?? That’s kind of creepy and seems ominous

    It's so weird. I moved downtown about a year ago, and the streetlights are so bright that we have flocks of crows that fly and hunt at night.
    Colonies of hundreds churn like ocean currents, blackening the sky.
    The city hired a falconer. He walks the streets every night, and when he finds a big colony, the pretty falcon is sent up to scare them away. Not to hunt or hurt them.

    @AngelWitch Yeah we do have owls here, they definitely make weird noises lol
    I was just buying some kind of expensive jewelry (not actually expensive, but remember, I’m cheap lol) and the register wouldn’t read my card for some reason so I had to go to the ATM and withdraw cash. When I came back, the cashier had given me THREE 20% off discounts to make up for the problem with the register, so I only spent $50. Never doubt the power of empathy.

    I offered to buy her something as a thank you but she couldn’t accept it. There truly is still good in the world. It’s hard to find, but it’s there.
