What have you done recently that makes you stand back and proudly say, “I did that shit”?

    Last night I completed one homework assignment. Procrastinated throughout the day but in that 2 or 3 hours of hard focussing and minimal breaks I grinded it out

    I’m frankly in a phase of life where I am seeing with ever fresh clarity all the mistakes I’ve made that have led me to the rather solitary life I lead. And many days I’m just keeping my interactions with others to a minimum so that I don’t create any opportunities to feel shit about my interpersonal skills. But, and so, nonetheless, I manage to find self-pride in very little things.

    Like how this week I learned all these keyboard shortcuts to make my editing of a text document faster. Or today, some kid was lingering by the basketball court awkwardly — like heartbreakingly awkward in his own skin. I asked him if he wanted to shoot a few before I headed home and made him a deal that I wasn’t allowed to go home 'til he shot a 3-pointer. I let him have as many tries as he needed until he get one.

      Hey, I just want to suggest that you treat your past self as kindly as you treated the awkward kid. We all fuck up on things, it’s okay.

    Planted a small orange tree in the yard. Dug a big hole. Mixed topsoil and citrus fertilizer. Expect to see first fruit in 3-4 years.

    Mother’s Day gift for my wife.

      Setting time limits is smart. Now you’ve GOT to get married and have a kid within the next couple of years. Smart.

        Or you could do it inside out… get married then get a fruit tree, so they HAVE to stick around just to get to try the fruit. Trick is keeping it going for a few decades. That’s where fruit-tree LADDERING comes in. Plant a new one every few years. Wait till fruit. Rinse, repeat.

    I reunited my wife with her semi-estranged son on Mother’s Day. Feeling pretty damn great about how today turned out.

    I am mentally torturing my friends on minecraft with crafting tables. I have made christ the redeemer out of crafting tables. I have filled our base with crafting tables. I have built hundreds of crosses out of crafting tables. I am gods hand and he is telling me to craft.

    I made a house, crafted the bedrooms with the latest decors, put solar panel decorations on the roof and moved in a goth family. It was pretty heartwarming to see it all happen really, though I did delete their toilets shortly before saving.

      I’m in that track too! Soon, so very soon.

      It’s quite the logistics effort unless you can afford lots of help.

      We’re just doing it by hand, so it’s crazy most days, but we’re getting there.
