You guys... my parents just told me that I'm going to be taking a taekwondo test in a couple of weeks (to level up to 2nd degree black belt). The issues with this:
- I've kinda been hating taekwondo lately and I don't get a choice about doing this
- We've been going super inconsistently so I'm unprepared
- It's RIGHT AFTER A DAY LONG TAEKWONDO TOURNAMENT THAT I'M ALSO BEING FORCED TO GO TO. So that's a whole Saturday gone which is an issue because
- I have lots of homework for the fancy school program I'm doing. It's kinda like college classes; no work done in class, just lectures. Everything is homework
- I need to have $200 and a 2 page essay by this Saturday EVEN THOUGH I HAVE LIKE 8 HOURS OF HOMEWORK ALREADY
- I'm stressed. And tired. And I don't think my history teacher can grade things properly which is a problem
In short, this sucks and I'm super stressed

Hey it’s okay. We are here for you if you need anything. I am absolutely dead serious. Please PM if you need anything, to vent, advice, affirmation, or maybe help with some fancy class homework thinga-ma-jig. We can figure it out together. You’re not alone in this. We will carry this together. You got this.

I’m so sorry Morningtide. Being forced into things you don’t want is horrible. Keep breathing. We’re all here to listen to whatever you need to say, and we care. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep and food. You can’t get anything done if your physical needs aren’t met. Like Panda said, you got this.

Do y'all know those books that are just... melancholy? They feel like homesickness, like a memory, like an echo. They aren't sad, that's not what I'm saying. They just hit on a completely different level.
There's this yearning to them and a desperate sort of longing that you feel when you read them, especially as you finish them. Each book feels like a collection of Moments and you connect with them on an incredibly personal level.
I feel like these books would be different for everyone, but for me it's The Raven Cycle, The Scorpio Races, parts of Words of Radiance, Piranesi, and Ender's Shadow.
I recently saw a thing about liminal spaces and for some reason these books feel like liminal spaces. I don't have a clue why.
I just wondered if anyone could relate

Interesting. I think whenever I happen to pick up a Harry Potter book, I kind of get that weird feeling. They are connected to my past, since for a while I was pretty obsessed with the whole world of it and knew a lot of trivia and such. Now... I'm not the same person. That's something I'm coming to realize about myself now vs. how I was a few years ago. And so seeing the vaguely familiar words and sentences now just feels a little off.

I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday with my birthday gift cards! I got 3 books and put several on a list.
The first one I got was The Atlas Six, which I read last week and absolutely LOVED. It's very good dark academia.
The second was Piranesi, which I also read last week and adored. I don't even know how to describe this one but every single person should read it. It's wonderful.
The third was The Brothers Hawthorne, which is a companion to the Inheritance Games series, which was great. It just came out yesterday and I'm excited to read it!

I friggin love thunderstorms. They're the absolute best type of weather.
It's absolutely pouring here and there's some impressive thunder. It's amazing
