What Makes You Feel Better?
What is one thing that never fails to make you feel better? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
wouldn't call it feeling better but alone time mostly helps in restoring my sanity :) for a little while at least xD
what about you?
@Optimisticempath
I get sensory overload a lot lately, so I have to squirrel away quiet time for myself in order to cope with the rest of the week.
I also feel better after reading the Bible, making tracts, reading, self-led learning, and more <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 🤔🤔🤔 sleep. Yaaaaay! Sleep ❤
@Tinywhisper11
I need more of that XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Normally listening to my favorite music helps me feel better. Hanging out with friends as well helps with loneliness and brings joy
Coffee & cake with a friend.
@cal1860
What if it's coffee cake???
No, coffee cake does not contain coffee. The name comes from the fact that it's typically served with coffee, but it doesn't actually contain coffee. Most coffee cake recipes use all-purpose flour, which doesn't contain caffeine.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Probably video games or getting to explore somewhere new
@Torean
Which games??
@jesusredeemedme2425
Probably most games. 😜 My favorite series' are Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, and Assassin's Creed. But I can definitely get into some platformers, or games you play with friends like Call of Duty, Smash Bros, Mariokart. I'd honestly be happy to spend up to half of every day gaming, but it's way less than that in reality.
@Torean
Invite me over when you play Smash or Mario Kart XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Heck yeah. 😁😁😁 Who do you like to play as in Smash? For me it's in this order: Ness, Joker, Lucas, Corrin, Meta Knight
@Torean
Yoshi, Kirby (then I can be ANYONE!!!), Pikachu... Sometimes Fox too. (Yeah, I go old-school!!!! lol) <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Heheh, they're still good characters after all this time. Yoshi just doesn't feel the same anymore though, because 95% of the time, Id rather be throwing eggs, not becoming one. Fox changed a lot too. I like him more now overall, but he was way deadlier before.
@Torean
Doesn't he throw eggs???
Where was Fox even from? What game?
@jesusredeemedme2425
I'm talking about like from the first smash game up to ultimate. I can't aim the eggs anymore without accidentally turning into an egg and rolling on the later games. 😝
@Torean
I don't even know the rules. I just mash all the buttons and hope it works... And accidentally launch myself off the cliff. I can practically lose all my lives without anyone touching me XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Lol, happens to the best of us at times
@Torean
I started playing when I was 10 or younger. STILL don't know the controls XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Lol, 🤣 ok, I get you, but still, it makes sense given how complex the controls are. They're still a heck of a lot less complicated than, say, mortal Kombat. I still don't know how anyone likes playing those games so much.
@Torean
Couldn't play Mortal Combat with trauma now... Would totally trigger me. :(
@jesusredeemedme2425
Aww , it's ok, I would never make you. ❤️ You're not missing much anyway. The only thing I really like about Mortal Kombat is that Reptile does Hung Gar, the exact martial art that I was trained in as a kid. So he became my favorite character.
@Torean
Awww thank you <3 I wish more people knew about, and adapted to, my issues and triggers like that <3
I’ve seen videos of the latest MK and they are BRUTAL :(
So you can beat people up?? O.O
@jesusredeemedme2425
No prob, it sucks being triggered and not being taken seriously or not knowing how to bring it up.
MK is brutal, but honestly, that was their big selling point originally, and now a lot of things are brutal. I wonder how long it'll stay popular.
And yeah, I can probably beat a lot of people up. 🤭 I don't remember a lot of specifics from kung fu in the grand scheme, but I have weirdly good reflexes from it. Also, I fight tricky and know how to read people's movements. Now I just gotta worry about people who can beat me up with their muscles alone. I remember getting into a play drunken brawl with my friend and despite doing a bunch of soft-hit combos on him and dodging around, he got one good hit in and knocked me across the backyard. I was laughing when I stood up. The next day, it hurt so bad that I couldn't even shower properly.
@Torean
Yeah… I have a trigger where I get the fight or flight response with a certain sound a fan makes. It’s dumb but it’s real…
I wonder if a lot of people just bought MK for the sheer novelty and shock value of it.
So you are part cat with the reflexes lol
Yeah, maybe working on avoiding blows hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
What sound is that? Not a ceiling fan I hope, those are hard to avoid.
You're probably right about MK. Not some of my friends. They still play tournaments starting with the first ones and ending with the latest ones. 😂 I do not win in those. I can win at smash bros still though.
Heheh, part cat huh? It's kinda like that. 😁 Fun fact, the style I learned is the "crane style.". I guess the story is that some ancient kung fu master was trying to do work on his rice paddies and a crane wouldn't get out of the way. He tried to make it move with his *** or whatever tool he had, and the crane kept gracefully dodging and countering it, so he got inspired. 😝 Pretty cool story even if it's not true.
@Torean
No, it’s the sound of a box fan on medium/high. It’s related to being at my dad’s house… It’s either I heard it while being sick and missing my mom… Or something happened. My dad died last year so I will never know… :(
You would definitely beat me at Smash. Lol! But not at Mario Kart on N64… hehe
Is that where the inspo for Kung Fu Panda came from???? Lol
….I’m afraid to ask what word got censored O.O
@jesusredeemedme2425
I gotcha. Maybe it's more fun to not remember something unpleasant like that, and hopefully it wasn't anything too bad anyway.
Heh, I can win at Mariokart wii. On the 64 one, I'm only good at the battle mode.
Heh, the word that got censored is a certain farming tool for loosening earth and cultivating... But is spelled the same as a slang word, and I shouldn't be surprised that happened. 😅😂
@Torean
One would hope…
I never figured out how to play Wii. I’m super old school at video games lol
Yeah I get why it got censored now XD
@jesusredeemedme2425
Nothing wrong with being old school in terms of video games. They're usually bigger and prettier now, but that doesn't mean that they're better or more fun necessarily. I can't tell you how much I just want to sit down and play some Actraiser or Streets of Rage 2 right now. 😅 Those games are over 30 years old.
@Torean
I wanna play Donkey Kong 64, Crash Bandicoot, and Croc <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Donkey Kong 64 sounds fun. Ive never played croc, what's that like?
Diet Dr. Pepper!
Being alone in nature, away from the city, people and cars helps me to clear my head and relax.
Solitude and my pets.
@jesusredeemedme2425
There are 2 ways, and I go so extreme on them like there is no in-between:
It's either I go to the nearest convenience store and buy every snack I could think of till I'm broke-
And binge eat them all night with my comfort show on (my wallet is grateful that I don't usually do so... but still-)
Or I go into my room, close the door, and do many work-out routines till I'm knocked out.
Both are helpful if I'm like going through a tough time and want to get my mind of things. The former is more on "make me happy" spectrum, and the latter provides me a lot of relief and wash-out stress.
@Kaleidoscope11
I like those <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 sitting in my room alone and listen to music on full volume so I can hear no one
