Hello! Happy July!!
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
Foggy, I guess~ Because I'm feeling uncertain and lonely, like being in a foggy mountain alone, unable to see what's beyond...
2) How do you feel about what
@Hydrangea03
Congrats on the grades! Hope you make it to Japan
Thank you so much!! And yeah i really hope so too!!
Take care, hope you have a lovely week~ ^^
@BraveAdventurer
@Hydrangea03
Heya Hydrangea !
Im sorry to hear youre feeling uncertain and lonely, it sounds like the unexpected situation definitely didnt help with that. Its good though that your grades improved, well done on that! I hope returning online will help lift the fog. I also definitely hope you can get back to writing, and get back up more generally speaking. I like to think that when hitting rock bottom, it can only get better.
Yay for that regional science competition! Its nice that you participated and made it to the top 15, its great! Was the book you read good?
Mushroom pasta sounds so yummy! It may shock you but I dont think Ive ever had mushroom pasta haha I think Ill have to cook some sometime!
I hope you can get back to traveling to Japan soon enough! I take it that youve already been there several times?
Thanks for checking in! Take care!
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement! ^^
Yes I definitely recommend cooking it! I usually eat it with carbonara or truffle sauce, hehe
Ive been to Japan twice before, and I miss going there - in fact, should be there right now; but I had to cancel my trip due to the pandemic, of course 
Thanks again!! Take good care~
@LinearWaves
@Hydrangea03
Truffle sauce sounds tasty !
I hope you can reschedule your trip soon enough ! Take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
Cloudy and rainy, cloudy because im okay and rainy because I'm so sluggish today.
2) How do you feel about whats happened for you during these first 6 months of 2020? (victories, struggles, strengths, improvements, things learnt, anything you want to talk about!)
Ive been slowly learning french, I've also been re training my dog because he thinks he own the place now. We moved and I gave him some slack and now he's being a butt. I had to re adjust to people after quarantine but I'm good now. I've lost at least 15 pounds from walking lost I'm proud of myself for that, but now I'm at a standstill and that sucks. I was 280 pounds and didn't look like i now I'm 250 and hoping to get to 190. I've always been bigger my whole life but I let myself go after awhile and I'm trying to get back on track.
3) What has been the highlight of your week so far?
Honestly, me and my husband were intimate but my favorite part about that is the cuddles after it just feels way better than normal cuddles. It really helped because I was overthinking us but that was because we haven't had alone time in awhile so this weekend is all ours. 
4) Where would you like to travel most and why?
Honestly everywhere: the uk, germany, ireland, italy, spain, portugal, japan, china. I just want to see the world in general.
@itidc
Hey there !
Good luck with the dog training !!
Congrats on the weight loss/walking, keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll see the results soon.
I'm happy to hear that you'll have some time with your husband. It's great that you take time to reconnect with each other !
Take care <3
@Slizzy564
Thank you so much!
@itidc
sounds good. Congrats on the weight loss. Walking is amazing! Good luck with the travels
@BraveAdventurer
Thank you so much, I know I'm for sure going to Portugal sometime and I can't wait! 
@itidc
Hey there !
I hope your personal weather can get better soon, or well, when i trains we can take an umbrella, or just dance in the rain !
Good luck with learning French, its not the easiest language but youve got this! Is your husband fluent in French to help you with that? And good luck as well for re-training your dog and for keeping up the amazing work regarding your weight loss! I believe in you!
Im really glad to hear that this helped to reassure you, its nice to hear youll have some more alone time together this weekend!
Yay for discovering the world!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
Hi, thank you so much! I personally love the rain but it makes me sluggish. Thank you I'm slowly learning and yes he's fluent in French, English and Portugese! I hope I can one day, you take care as well.
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
I would say my mood is a nice 70 degree day with sunshine and a slight chance of getting cloudy. I am feeling calm today but my mood can change.
2) How do you feel about whats happened for you during these first 6 months of 2020? (victories, struggles, strengths, improvements, things learnt, anything you want to talk about!)
Regarding COVID, I would say I have had a decent first 6 months of 2020. I started off the year well, then I went downhill. But I picked myself up and I am ready to finish off the year with love and happiness.
3) What has been the highlight of your week so far?
Playing tennis every day has been the highlight of my week.
4) Where would you like to travel most and why?
I really want to visit Switzerland. I love the scenery, mountains, and waterfalls. There is also a lot of hiking to do and I love to be outdoors.
@Ecargrace
yes Switzerland is gorgeous!!
@Ecargrace
Hey there !
That definitely sounds like a nice mood, I hope it stayed !
I love how positive and fierce you are, covid definitely threw us off balance so now we have to get back to it full force to finish off well the year!
How nice that you got to play tens every day of the week, is it a sport youve been practicing for a long time?
Switzerland looks amazing! I was close to Switzerland last weekend and the scenery with the mountains with still a bit a snow at their top, the super green fields, that really was amazing! I hope you can travel there soon!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
Sunny and bright with pop up thunderstorms
2) How do you feel about whats happened for you during these first 6 months of 2020? (victories, struggles, strengths, improvements, things learnt, anything you want to talk about!)
Ugh, so much learning. So much struggle. But also a growing and stretching. Honestly, still processing some events that took place in my city tonight
3) What has been the highlight of your week so far?
working with the horses. And a breakthrough in counseling
4) Where would you like to travel most and why?
Europe! I've been but I want to go again. I love thr cultures so much
@BraveAdventurer
Hey there!
Yay for a sunny and bright weather, I hope those thunderstorms can stop though!
It sounds really nice that you
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
Bright, mild, sun out but behind clouds, light breeze
2) How do you feel about what
@1morday
Hey there ! That sounds like a pleasant weather, I hope the clouds can let the sun shine !
Im sorry to hear things got bad after such a long time back in January… Its a really good thing though that you addressed the issues and have been getting support, putting boundaries so things can be safer for you. The world has definitely been weird the past few months and uncovered pretty bad stuff, best not to think of it!
I really like how youre staying careful with your own keys for safety, I get you though that it can get boring… I hope you can get yourself a nice meal one of these days, and hopefully go to that fireflies place a day when you can sleep in the next day.
I hope you get to travel to Japan or Thailand someday, as well as Spain and England when things get better, thanks for sharing and for checking in, take care!
@LinearWaves
1) How would you describe your mood in a weather-forecast way and why this weather?
Partly cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms. This is because I am neither happy or sad, I am inbetween. And thunderstorms represents anxiety.
2) How do you feel about what
@positiveTurtles
Hey there !
Im sorry to hear about the anxiety youre feeling, I hope your mood can shift to the happier side.
Its a good thing that you learned not to take life for granted, its sad that it had to be learned through this pandemic but its definitely something we usually forget but that is really important.
Yay for getting that package! Its such a good idea that you got yourself this gift, especially as its full of self-care! We definitely deserve gifts every now and then, not only on special occasions!
I hope you can go to Canada again, it sounds like such a beautiful country to explore with all the wild areas!
Thanks for checking in, take care!
Hey beautiful people! Hope you're doing ok ❤
1- I can describe it as a cloudy day because I'm not that sad like if it was a rainy day with storms but I wasn't happy enough (I highly recommend to listen to Rain on Me by Gaga and Ariana, the message in the song fits good when we are in rainy mood)
2- These six moths have been difficult to me because I had some problems in my life that I couldn't deal with because I'm really sensitive and I find it really hard to solve my problems. You all know we've been in quarantine (I'm from Argentina so we're still battling this pandemic) so it made worse. I've been really depressed at the point of self harm myself for the first time. So things are still hard. But at the same time I'm having a great moment as uni student, things are going great and I think is the only thing that makes me feel alive.
3- I'd love to go to London it's my dream. I love the accent (I'm good at it) and the British culture.
@Gagaintheroom
Hey there ! Its good to hear youre not feeling that sad, although I hope some sun an shine through the clouds! Rain On Me is a great song!
Im sorry to hear that the past 6 months have been tough on you due to problems you couldnt solve, it can be really hard to solve problems and being sensitive can definitely make it harder, plus the whole quarantine, I get you on that… (have things slowly reopened in your area though? I had heard that the quarantine was pretty strong even before the whole pandemic really started in Argentina) Im really sorry that it all made you feel depressed and drove you to turn to self-harm, are you still struggling with that now? If you need help brainstorming coping mechanisms to help you fight self-harm, dont hesitate!
The British accent definitely sounds cool! I hope you can go there sometime, its such a cool city!
Thanks for checking in and sharing, take care!
