Dealing With a Lot Today…
Stuff I can’t share. Can you guys please give me some love, make me think about something else, make me laugh, give me post ideas, idk? Just… whatever. I just need to… not think. Thanks!

I’m adding a taglist to start, but this post is open to absolutely everyone! <3
I like to go outside and just feel the sun on my face, it helps reconnect me to the wonders of nature and forget the world for a moment.
My thought of the month for myself is to remember this and say it out loud:
someone else’s doubts in you are not your truth!
It has helped me quite a lot lately!
Sending virtual hugs!
You're awesome! Love each one of your posts and our conversations! I feel like life especially right now is so hard for lots of people but you matter and make people happy
❤️❤️❤️
Awwww thank you! <3
Tell me something interesting to distract me? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Sorry didn't see this till now but my therapist is having me do one thing that puts me out of my comfort zone each week and I made a list of stuff I want to do but am to nervous too. I am looking into modding a handheld. I'm looking at a New 3DS or thinking I might get a Psp 3000 instead but idk. I'm thinking about learning some of my favorite songs and focusing less on song writing for awhile because I've been feeling burnt out recently. I'm working on some character designs and short stories. I'm also planning on helping my food bank at church tomorrow.
❤️❤️❤️
Ooh I love that! <3
Modding a handheld?
Yeah, maybe take a break for awhile.
Helping others will definitely help you a lot <3
Yeah I'm not sure exactly which handheld I want but I want to be able to play old retro games on the go and at work and stuff so I'm not just scrolling on my phone for 30 minutes every day lol.
@jesusredeemedme2425 well. Not a lot in terms of valuable content, but here is a completely pointless life-update: i started to work on a blouse. I got my pattern and I cut the pieces out. Had to make drastic compromise with the sleeves as it was a genuinely just pure leftover material I got years ago. I cut the pieces yesterday and it's going suspiciously well. Too well. I'm just waiting for the moment I realise what did i screw up this time, but will keep you updated 😂
I'm also having stone knees today for some reason. Like. 5 days off work thanks to the holidays and I move like a cartoon character. Was rushing to catch the bus in the morning and thought about running a bit to catch it but I decided against it and risk taking the L as it felt like if I try to run I will just end up pancaked on the pavement lol
Also, someone is coughing in the bus and someone else smell horribly. Thoughts and prayers for me, this will be a long ride. But I'm also sitting quite comfortably and absolutely not feeling like getting off and waiting for the next bus. Cheers to lazyness I guess 😅
Ooh! Do you know how to embroider?? I want to try that. <3
I always wait for that moment too hehe
Stone knees??
Put a mask on. It’ll help with both lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 only cross stitch if it helps, but I always wanted to learn how to do the full embroidery type
Yesss, it's basically when you feel like your mobility is limited, like harder time bending knees and walking. Like my legs are heavy. And today that mobility nope was in my knees mostly for absolutely no reason other than probably days of bedrot 😁
I don't have a mask, my immune system has to cope. But at least the smell is better now 😅
Tell me about cross stitch! I might wanna try that too <3 Any other ideas for offline activities??? <3
You must exercise lol
Lollll I wear masks for every other reason besides being sick lol. (And that too!)
@jesusredeemedme2425 gonna be right back with you, need to unboard the bus and drag my golem legs home 😁
Lolll no worries! I’ll be in and out myself. <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 yep I should I'm just lazy. Like words can not express properly how lazy I am. But after all, I'm a cat. If I have an option to lounge around I will 😂
Here we only mask if we are sick and waiting at the doc, otherwise it's collective immunity training lol. Noone masks here besides rare circumstances. Especially avoiding it since my allergy turned to asthma because of the masks, at least that was my first asthma attack trigger.
As for the cross stitch, it's not hard. I am doing it since I was like 6ish. Started with simple pictures, but now that I'm an adult, I prefer to make things that have a use. Like sure it's pretty to stitch up a pic, but if that's all it can be used for, i only embroider it if it's to be given to someone as a gift to not clutter our home. That's why I prefer long and big projects, like pillow cases and right now I'm making a tablecloth for my grandma. Thisone is autumn themed with some leaves, but she already has a Christmas one with these red berry thingies. But it's fun and calming, especially if you put some audiobook in the background to keep you from side tracking. But also, you need to be careful as it strains the eyes to not have long sessions or if you do, count with them not being daily. More like you embroider for 3 hours on Monday then not feel ready for a few days. But if you want to start, definitely choose something small and simple
I'm also not using this multiple strand threads, but rather a Perle cotton one, that aren't such a pain to work with. But that also means less shades available, at least here. So whenever I see a pattern with multiple shades of a similar colour, I just go nah. This colours/sign are this one, these 2 signs are dark green etc, since I have a lot of Perle threads at home. Like. A lot. And I refuse to buy new ones. I told myself I'll only replace run out one or I will get one specific color I have no close match for. So well. My cross stitch has some unique flavour of greed 😁
Meow!
Masks help with my anxiety.
How does cross stitch work?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Glad they work for you 😊
Cross stitch is just basically making a picture out of X-es. Found this very cool explanation for patterns
They’re just Xs??? That’s easy…
@jesusredeemedme2425 yessss, cross-stitch is basically just Xing. This is how it looks
That’s so pretty! <3
I can only kinda see the Xs tho lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 yesss, this is a specific type of embroidery where the X is the point 😊
@jesusredeemedme2425 it's basically like oldschool pixel art. If you look closely you only see X, but once you look a bit further you can see the entire picture
I love that <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 wanna try it too or are you considering a different embroidery style?
I have no idea how any of this works, sooooo… lol
I thought it was just straight stitches.
@jesusredeemedme2425
Kiara we're looking out for you <3 I hope you feel better soon but know you can fall apart with us and we'll always help you get back up again
Thank you! Tell me something interesting to distract me? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
How about some totally random facts 🫢
Sea otters hold hands when they sleep. They do this so they don't drift apart from each other in the ocean currents. A group of resting otters is adorably called a raft.
You can hear a blue whale's heartbeat from over two miles away. Their hearts weigh about 400 pounds (the size of a bumper car) and beat very slowly when they dive, sometimes only twice a minute.
Bananas are berries, but strawberries aren't. In botany, a true berry has seeds on the inside and develops from a single flower with one ovary. Because strawberries have their seeds on the outside, they are classified as "aggregate fruits."
Awww sea otters are adorable <3
1. How do Artists greet each other..... Yellow :D
2. I photograph my pimples, is zit art?
3. Why is six afraid of seven? Because seven eight nine!
4. Knock Knock
Who's there?
Nobel.
Nobel who?
Nobel so I knock knocked.
😳🥺
Oh boy. XD
@jesusredeemedme2425 big fan of cheese today 🥸
Lolll
What kind of cheese do you like??
And what kind of cheese can you NOT stand??
@jesusredeemedme2425 I haven't really been adventurous cheesy wise. I guess I don't like mature cheddars, too strong for me, more a mildy gal.
Baybel edam, red leicester, philadelphia cream cheese, dairylea. I just stick to cheddar lol.
Do you prefer the serious or the silly posts?
Depends on my mood really.
@jesusredeemedme2425 Me too, sometimes I want to give the brain a few hours off 😌
How does one do that lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 I say to it, take a hike, then I game, watch junk shows and it naps :)
I wish mine worked like that
@jesusredeemedme2425 You'll find the perfect distraction for you, mindless bliss
It’s not that… My stress is near-constant. I wish I could say more but it’s personal. But it would make sense if you knew.
@jesusredeemedme2425 You don't have to say anything it's your business.
I'm not sure if releasing it into a private journal would help manage the stress. I get that some things are ongoing but at least I can write and say Arghhh today this is driving me crazy...
it's not much but it's something :)
I keep forgetting…
@jesusredeemedme2425 Tsk tut, no more jokes for you, until you do your homework lady! 🔏
I’ve been working on my art, does that count? Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Of course, Mz artistic flair 😎
Hehe. I’m teaching myself color theory <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Here a random assortment of fluffy animals memes to hopefully make your day better 
Awww <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Love you 🤍
Have you heard the song Miyazaki by Paris Paloma? the official lyric video today was made by fans– lots and lots of drawings and paintings of each lyric all in one big beautiful video. the kind of thing to check out when you need a reminder of the beauty of humanity
Bahaghari on utube is a teacher who gave their students lots of creativity promps, the results are shared in the form of utube shorts (here) some of those kids are ridiculously talented, love to see it
Love you too! <3
I’m not using my computer atm, but remind me later? <3
What are your favorite kinds of art? <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
human-made 😭 ai art made me much less picky and critical. but uh, i love sketches with pencils, no colour. I like that you can capture beauty without colour– i dont know why, i just do xD wbu?
I like photorealism <3 And sketches <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 photorealism always blows my mind. Like, wow
And, like, how?????
@jesusredeemedme2425
Right? Crazy work. Cant believe it, sometimes- a human did that? A human, with a human body and a human mind did that? I know we hv done cooler stuff like gone to space, but this is what shocks me xD
Right??? And then you watch them painting individual hairs… WITH A HAIR. How???? Why??? I wouldn’t have the patience lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 my art sir made one in front of us in class in the time we talk to draw some ugly palm trees 😭 i was like "i just saw you do that but i dont believe it"
@unassumingEyes (theres a "today" in there. Idk what its doing there. I had no intentions to write "today", it makes no sense to be there, just– pretend it isnt 😭)
You TOTALLY meant to write it. Subconsciously. ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 Ooohhh look.... 👀
Bahahaha true. He reminds me of some character from the 90s/00s for some reason. Lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Ohhh look, now he's dressed in disguise! 🤣
Where are you even finding these XD
@jesusredeemedme2425

@trueconfidant123

@trueconfidant123
Happy to oblige 😂😂😂💚
@jesusredeemedme2425
Do you like pizza? If so what kind? Also what's your weirdest take on pizza that you think would get the most head turns?
I love sausage with lots of red sauce <3
According to @Amanda84, it’s pineapple on pizza (which she LOVES!!!!!! Hehe). But I like BBQ chicken and BBQ sauce on pizza <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Interesting, I haven't tried it with BBQ sauce yet but I might now lol
I love bacon and beef! green peppers and onions are pretty good too
And I think pineapple just sounds wrong on pizza but I know others love it and that's great less pineapple for me! ;)
It’s SO good! That little kick or tang and spice is *chef’s kiss* <3
@jesusredeemedme2425
Always here for you 💛
Aww thank you <3
