i love rainy days — i find them so relaxing, they give me room to breathe, and thunderstorms are beautiful. honestly, i like rain more than sun at this point. a few months ago, a few friends and i went to the beach during a chilly, gray day. i got a few nice photos of the shore despite everything looking like the same color, haha.

i suppose i'm in the process of that. i haven't fully found myself yet.

one that's rooted in trust, communication, loyalty, and selflessness. granted i've endured my bout of unhealthy relationships, but those four pillars are integral to maintaining healthy connections, especially in a romantic context.

the beginning of my job when i was first hired in 2017, so probably from 2017-2020 were my favorite years. after the pandemic hit, things started to go downhill. i still appreciate my job and love the opportunity to write and edit things, which is why i never left, but now the company is struggling and i'm debating on jumping ship.

i don't normally leave reviews for items i've purchased online unless it's something i've ordered from a small business (like from etsy) to support them. i do, however, enjoy filling out surveys at the end of meals if i'm out at a restaurant — if the server has been great, i'll give them five stars across the board. any little bit helps.

i don't have a favorite director, but the LOTR trilogy is my favorite by far.

my roommate bought me an iced coffee this morning.

their strength in the face of adversity, their drive to continue moving forward, and their unconditional love for everyone in their life. it's truly inspiring.

i'll take the manifesto to be nice and wish them a good day, and i might look at it when i get home, but ultimately i'm probably going to shrug off the interaction and move on.

taylor tomlinson is one of my favorite comedians. i used to like bert kreischer and tom segura, but i keep getting the feeling that they're MAGA so i haven't watched anything of theirs recently. my ultimate favorite comedian is george carlin.

skyrim, hands down.

out of those three, i hope it's aliens. a zombie apocalypse would be terrible for me considering i cannot run to save my life and i need medication to survive. a nuclear apocalypse is definitely more realistic in today's age, and that would be equally as terrible because of the devastating impact it would have on not just humanity but the earth as a whole.

being neurodivergent is a pain in the butt most of the time, but i do appreciate the fact that my conditions gave me a natural desire to organize things and a ridiculous drive to succeed (not just professionally).

a snippet of a story i had started last year. i never got around to actually finishing it, oops.

does this count? 😂

the last screenshot i took was of my texts to my therapist because i spammed her with photos of my cats and her response made me happy, lmao.

i love memoirs, as well as fantasy fiction.

i like seeing the pet's personality before ultimately deciding, like how my roommate and i decided on neeko's name when she adopted her. other times, they come with the name from a previous family and it's too late to change it.

at least 15-20, i'd say. i've sent 10 in the past six weeks, including one today.

my roommate and i went to the park today for a few hours. i took a few nice pictures of the tree leaves and lake. :) i should do this more often.

i've always considered myself to be hypersensitive and attuned to the energies and overall vibes about a person. my intuition and gut feelings are pretty on point in that respect.

going to concerts or local shows and vibing to music with like-minded people.

i play on either my xbox (series x or whatever it's called) or nintendo switch. the only game i've been playing on the switch recently is animal crossing, but i've been contemplating on getting tomodachi life. in terms of new games, i usually buy it for xbox because it's hooked up to my bedroom TV and i prefer gaming there instead of in the living room. i also mostly play the switch on the small handheld screen instead of hooking it up to a TV. so for games like the witcher 3, skyrim, and maybe GTA 6 if i get it, i prefer seeing it in large, beautiful detail.

no, not at all. i'm touch-averse and any sort of physical contact makes me uncomfortable unless you're a person i'm actively dating. i rely on my words and actions to let people know i care.

fun fact: i have never seen star wars. like, any of the films or even any of the TV shows that followed. LOTR is my ultimate favorite trilogy. my ultimate favorite movies. i own the books but haven't read them in full yet, though.
