I am reminded of Cedar Hills now...I don't want to think of that place. I have all the journals from there. I didn't bother converting them to my blog here. Not everything needs to be digitally uploaded.

Also it is the fact that.. What? I would only be able to do 6 pages a day? That also means I would have to stay indoors for a long time because I wouldn't have room to do any errands. Doesn't make any sense to do.

Ye. I have time and space now, but I rather leave those slots for actual outings because the weather is finally good. Also I have things I actually have to do so starting another project while I am already compromised seems like a silly thing to do.

I have a thing I need to do... that I am very annoyed at because, it costs money and... I don't want to buy this thing.

But it is a necessary buy.

Not only that. I need to "schedule" an appointment with Behavioral Health. That will cost time and slots... of stupidity.

Other things... yes, I know I need to do.. I also wonder if I should add pictures of some of the issues I am struggling with to make it a more productive email. I think it is worth it just to make them sweat at the very least.

But like I said before, I am not doing well. Mentally I am fine, it is Physical.

Psychic.

Eh, sure. Psychic too maybe but this is just turbulent waters right now so I don't think this is particular to me. If I go around naked running in the streets like Lady Godiva, sure lock me up. But, I am not even wanting to do that.

According to the typical version of the story, Lady Godiva took pity on the people of Coventry, who were suffering grievously under her husband's oppressive taxation. Lady Godiva appealed again and again to her husband, who obstinately refused to lower the taxes.

Lol.. I guess that is expected of me, but I am not the orange man's wife.

Also... Ah, spirit is asking me not to admit to something. Lol.. Mm.. Yea I am just using some slots right now but I will actually need to do some things again. Just a break from reality, as all writing is.

6pm... Too late to do anything now. I need to close shop and prepare for tomorrow.

Having lovers of different elements taught me a lot. They have their different humiliation rituals and binds. I have done things like this before, obviously.

I don't think there is any call for anything like this right now. Not at all.

There is no shame nor penitence now.

I can't speak of always but, I am actually optimistic right now.

Mmm... I guess the battle now is maintaining this...

Poise

Well, thank you. Most likely.

I can't be scared of adversity either. Someone in my family also spoke of the power of faith. A fire and air sign both spoke of these. Why should I not believe in them?

I am actually getting more happy. I have a few things to look forward to. But I have to do my work. Jim Carrey even said for manifesting, you can't just think happy thoughts then go eat a sandwich.

Yea, they don't like that I mention them, but I am just saying the truth.

Ahhhhhh yes, people say "believing" is a lesser thing than "knowing" something. Meh, who cares right now. I am getting ready to go to bed. I want tomorrow to come. I need to do things.

Ah..... Well bruh, we're the same so you don't need to try me.

Knowledge is power, but it is also........... a liability.

It is getting colder so, it will be harder for me to actually do my TODO list, even if I stay indoors. I know what I can do though, so... Yea.. I will decide after this.
