I have a friend who describes this stuff as “crack in a jar”

I literally just make that stuff whenever I have nothing else available and eat it straight.

I was feeling like shit last month. I decided a few months ago to stop taking my anti-depressants thinking it would be best to change my thinking patterns, and while it did work for a bit, last month I felt like crap seemingly out of nowhere initially, but then that spiraled into feeling unappreciated by people.

Not gonna delve into them, but you think some really dark thoughts when you feel alone and as though you mean nothing to people. I sent an old friend from my hometown a message in the latter half of the month before, and didn’t get a response, so I simply sent a message asking if we were still friends, thinking it wouldn’t be worth bothering. I hadn’t talked to this guy in ages, why would he say yes after all this radio silence I’ve been giving?

But no, this guy responded immediately, hyped up to hear from me again, saying of course we were still friends. It’s been slow working things up again, but that just comes with schedule conflicts and not living in the same city, but that was an instant mood changer after nearly two weeks of it being in freefall.

Helped me start putting more focus on giving myself accurate self-assessment. Been writing down times I felt appreciated by others for reference for when I feel like that again so I can nip those thoughts in the bud next time.

If you let mayonnaise or peanut butter sit on it a bit, it should remove adhesives unless it’s stupid old. It’s worked for me with everything up until it comes to removing adhesive that’s been sitting around since 1985 or whatever.

Sharing your music in a fedi community, only to get downvotes on it.

Like genuinely, if you’re the type of person to downvote other people sharing music they like, you’re just a jackass. I’ll never understand the logic people have doing that instead of just ignoring what they don’t like.

Frustrates me even when it’s just a single person doing it.

Been reconnecting with things I like more as of late as part of rebuilding my personal identity.

Forgot how much I love Fox Stevenson. Found out he released a new album few months ago, and it is amazing, very easily a contender for my album of the year.

Sunk Cost Fallacy is so fucking good, please give it a listen: https://foxstevenson.bandcamp.com/album/sunk-cost-fallacy
