No Matter What I Do, I Will Always Be My Mother's Second Child.

Focusing on self improvement so I can treat my future wife right.

- Exercising to open jars and build a home for us.

- Eating right so I can be here, for her, longer.

- Learning to cook and clean to take the worries from her shoulders.

- Collecting hobbies so she'll never have to be bored with me.

- Painting so one day there will be canvases with her all over the walls

- Loving myself so I won't burden her with a self loathing narcissist.

- Teaching myself patience because I know I'll have to wait to find you.

I may not know you yet, my dear, but I promise that I've loved you always. 💕

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

y'all missing the whole point of stardew valley. it's supposed to be slow paced. you're a farmer. crops do now grow instantly and you wont be making millions in a season. enjoy the fucking game, take your fucking time. take days off to just forage and talk to people. aren't yall tired of the grind from real life??? do you want to experience burnout in a farming game too??????
