What are some things that are going well in your life?

Tbh the only thing I have going for me at the moment is that Within Temptation is releasing new music.

Like a few months back I was able to go to the gym with my friend and stuff and was just starting to make progress on my get toned goal, but then my family's financial situation got worse so that's not an option. I feel like December to May was like a high point in my life; I was getting pretty far on my goals and then lots of set backs happened and I'm only just getting back into running; keeps wewe healthy but doesn't give wewe abs which is my goal for aesthetic purposes. So basically I'm extremely uchungu, chungu because I have the drive and I know I can achieve my goal, I just don't have the equipment to do it right now. I also don't have money to cut and dye my hair how I like it anymore. :/ I mean it doesn't look bad, but I no longer fit my own aesthetic.

I guess one thing that's still going good is the whole goth getup. I can still dress the way that makes me feel badass. I'm better at talking to people too. I was trusted enough at work to train a couple of new hires, so that's reassuring.

Gonna try to orodha zaidi positives because that's what ya gotta do lol;

- Singing. It's just a hobby and something I do for fun but I'm proud to say that my opera and screamo are both getting better lol.

- uandishi too. I've been good about getting at least one chapter of my fic done a siku and/or getting at least 100 words typed in my original. Today I met my 500 word a siku goal. Trying to up that to 1000.

HELLO ALL it's 3:15am and I don't have time for this and my first lecture of the new semester is tomorrow BUT gonna use this conveniently-timed swali for a life update:

Previously hadn't been on fanpop for months coz went through a bad patch both in terms of mental and physical health. Absolute hell of a semester from February to June.

Hopped on a plane the siku after exams finished for a family holiday that's been a long time coming - went to an auntie's wedding in Greece, then hired a car and drove across Italy, France and into the UK.

Have spent two weeks in a regional UK town as part of a chuo kikuu, chuo kikuu cha exchange. Has only been orientation and intro week stuff so far but absolutely fuckin loving it - have been having the best time of my life. Was scared coz I knew no one here but have found the most amazing people from all over world (Belgium, Costa Rica, Ecuador, India, Nigeria, Austria, France, Norway). And have often met them in the context of uni-run events that are themselves amazing - like the variety is such that I went from sewing classes to introductory weightlifting lol. Also archery, HP nights, a fuckton of pub chemsha bongo and clubbing on campus coz THE STUDENT UNION BUILDING HAS THEIR OWN VENUE FOR IT. Seriously, I got Lost at uni the other siku and accidently found myself in a nightclub.

But mostly the people. The people have been absolutely incredible. They say travel "broadens your mind" but they ain't actually bullshitting. This is unlike anything I could even begin to imagine back home.

Might be a bit zaidi sobered up when the actual work starts (lol as in tomorrow, rip) but right now I'm on a constant wingu nine.

Sorry for not replying to anyone for like 6 months au even popping on fanpop for a tiny bit, but was really in a terrible place. Still upendo wewe guys and have missed talking to many of wewe <3 Hope all is well on your end as well!

Well, I set up an appointment with Goodwill for this Thursday all on my own, and I felt pretty good about it. I normally don't do those types of things, because it involved talking to them kwa phone. And unless it's someone I'm really close to, I only text. But, yeah, I called them and managed to get it all set up. Yay!

AND I finally got my guitar, gitaa fixed. Soon, I'll start learning how to play it without sounding awful. And I'm also preparing to sell some old PlayStation games (both PS1 & 2), but I have no way of knowing if they even work yet. Once I do that, maybe ya'll would be interested in buying some? I've got plenty of cases to put them in, I'm just looking for people who're interested. I'm honestly tired of lugging them around, knowing I can't even play half of them. I'm also selling movies, too, if ya'll want ion on that.

And, I'm currently debating on who I should go as for Halloween: Nick Wilde au Sailor Saturn?

Decisions, decisions.....

I've moved into college and pretty much have everything under control - at least a lot zaidi compared to most of the freshmen. I managed to get into the band really well and that of which keeps me exercised. Quickly picked up biking again after YEARS of never touching a bike and my roommates are all absolutely wonderful. I upendo them and want to protect them XD

Im having a great time. Tomorrow is the last siku off before classes starts but I think Im ready.

Also my relationship is still solid so thats also wonderful.

And Im also really glad I have less time to be online? It kinda makes me feel alive and like a real person and like Im actually improving in my life and its great.

My life has been pretty much uphill outside of kinda missing my boyfriend. Not extremely until I hear him and realize how happy hearing his voice makes me XD I cant wait to come nyumbani for Christmas.

Things are actually a bit rocky for me right now tbh, I dont really talk about it but my life has been in a state of chaos since May and I've never really had the opportunity to find my footing au anything like that. It's been pretty hard because I'm not the type of person who deals with stress well at all and I've had a lot of it.

That being alisema though I'm doing really well all things considered. I'm only 60%-80% a mess instead of 100% a mess and also dead and dying from it. That's honestly a lot better than what I would expect from myself. So, that's progress.

I'm also doing pretty well financially but that also relates back to the things making me stressed

idk.... ig nothing rn. i mean my crush plans r not working so nothing is going well

I have a wonderful and healthy daughter. I have a good husband who supports me, and I have a job that lets me be a mom. I'm honestly doing really well right now and I'm happy

I'm still alive and healthy.
I was recently in a car crash with a big dirt mover truck. Crumpled my car because the truck driver wasn't paying attention and crashed right into me at a red light. I'm without my car that i loved so much, stuck at nyumbani and quite shaken still. But I'm alive. And I guess that is good.

The other siku my partner took me out to town for a siku of chakula stops. It was really nice and the one highlight among the weeks of shit.
