How are you today?

Threatening us? @Insertnamehere



I wish I had more time to cook, sadly, I have to go out to get lunch. It is also very apparent that good cooking can be a bit expensive too. Inflation is pretty obvious although everyone wants to pretend there isn't inflation.

As to the subject of mood swings. I can only speak from experiences I've had and I am also an idiot so take what I say with a grain of salt. If I sit and think on about things in detail many times I can trace my feelings back to a thought or a reaction (which is really...thoughts) to something. I find that when I worry or am anxious about something the thoughts are almost always negative. So yes, there is some truth to the being mindful about thoughts, but it is difficult to do and keep a check on that all the time.

Also some truth to the saying "an idle mind is the devil's workshop," and really that is just another way of saying that you're more than likely to experience depression and anxiety when you're bored. So, that means you should put more time towards doing things you like, maybe it is your writing, trying a new hobby, taking a day trip, etc...

Remember our previous conversations and I'm not trying to kiss your ass or anything, but remember, there's nothing wrong with how you are, you're an intelligent, creative and a good looking guy. Anyone who says otherwise is probably jealous and an asshole. No one should be jealous of your successes. Learning to love yourself, completely, is something that can be challenging, hell I haven't really ever "accepted" myself, so if it were easy to do I would have taken the advice I'm giving.
