A beginning
Good morning, i hope everyone is doing great.
i think i have hit rock bottom mentally, I struggle to wake up every morning, I don’t enjoy most of my hobbies. And although such phases usually do come and go by their own will, this time i want to come up with a system to better manage it and control it, such system should be built on short and long term goals, but tbh i am not at all comfortable with having long term goals ( maybe this should be my first long term goal), for today i will just begin by things i would like to change about my day:
i would like to assert life
i would like to stop binge eating
i would like to get back into reading
i would like to get back into practicing the piano
I would love to have some hope
I should be proud of my interests and what i do
note: i have been talking to listeners here, and when they mentioned such goals i would always say i have tried them and it didn’t work, but having thought about it i found out that I actually hadn’t committed to it enough i would just move around it and think that i have tried while I didn’t really, so i am trying to get into some real commitment to improvement, and such commitment needs your support thank you.
Hi @honestSky,
I think it is great that you have set goals for yourself! It is important to start with small goals at a time and build up overtime. I know there are times where it can be tough to commit, but I believe in you and I know you can do it!

@Desmynn6789 hi desmynn
thank you for the encouragement, yes i think small goals will be my priority for now
Today was great, i was feeling alright, i did my studying and i managed to read and practice the piano and i avoided the urge to binge eat, i will try and stick to these habits for a week or so before adding anything new,thanks for the support.
@honestSky1988 you are welcome. If you need more support, you can request me, and I will help motivate you to achieve your goals! I also think it is excellent that you have already started reaching some of your goals! I’m proud of you, and I hope you keep it up

i appreciate that desmynn thank you, it’s mainly sticking to the routine and the positive outlook that I struggle with, i find them sometimes to be without value and then this drives a whole cloud of negativity over things
Hello again, i haven’t done much productive the past couple of days, i struggled with my studying and a bit of negativity. However i have written another short story, now they are 9 in total i am going for 12, all are still first drafts and i think my writing is very immature but i am trying to stick to it so I won’t just keep writing a dream that I don’t work toward, the plan is to go for 12 then begin rewriting where i would focus mainly on their structure, hope i won’t destroy them anytime soon and actually seek publication this time but i hope first and foremost that they are decent, on the same note, what’s your favorite collection of short stories?
