What made YOU happy recently?

today i found a really nice vegetarian/asian restaurant and also got enough hair ties to last me a whole 3 days!


(i'm constantly losing ties. i probably lost five already and i just got them out of the packaging)

 

Pokemon jokes on random local news station

 

Tiny pupper snores

 

i had a very important and powerful realization earlier.

i am not my mother.

Spoiler: backstage

i am not the person thinking everything will just work out.
i am not the person with 0% self-awareness
i am actually working on this shit

the people who keep "helpfully reminding" me about how the things i want to do are difficult and require a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck even though i know all this shit already and am already working with it are not talking to me. they see what my mother is like and act as if i were the same.

but i'm not.

 

friend who works for a dog walker uber-type company sends me many pics of pups!

 

oh man a girl i knew from swimming (i do not... know how to explain my exact relationship to her without explaining competitive swimming culture in general lmao) is in Rio right now and she qualified for the 100 back semifinals and!!! thats so cool!!!

I spent today with a friend, had fancy ramen, and bought new work shoes to replace my current disasters.

Someone on Reddit sent me a really nice message on my secret mental health alt. I don't know them, they don't know me. Sometimes the internet is good.

My brain is doing that chill 'it's going to be okay in time' thing again, which, hey, it's temporary, I know that, but it's really nice.

 

I've felt very at peace this evening.
very....centered and
calm
vague happiness, just kinda there
