@thetangles Thanks! My healthy weight for my height is 180 tops so I’m trying to get there sometime mid summer. But I’d like to get to 160 sometime this year. I’ll keep at it ^^ Lots of work though.

Rainstorms: What helps you fall asleep?

I listen to youtube videos i’ve already watched usually. These are usually comedy or tech review videos. Heavily edited and cut. That’s actually how i spend way too much of my time: rewatching these videos. 

Though sometimes i’ll put on a vinyl and head to bed. My player turns off automatically when it reaches the end of a side. I like listening to Side D of the Your Name. soundtrack, Side A of Mayday Parade’s A Lesson in Romantics, also any side of Symphonic Fantasies.

Soup: Comfort food?

Honeybee: Name something positive you have done for yourself or someone else in the last two weeks.

Hmmm....I’m very bad at this question - but yesterday I was able to project more confidence than I felt at a job interview, which translated into actual confidence not long after, leading to a very good interview (in part because the recruiter and my interviewer were so personable).

I see what you did there! XDDragons: What makes you feel powerful, what breathes life into you?

Ooh… This is so much harder to answer than I would have expected. I suppose sometimes small/silly things like convincing somebody to do something my way, and having my method of doing X, Y, or Z turn out well — that can feel pretty powerful. (Beyond just “what should we have for dinner?” scenarios. e.g. Being allowed to take the lead on a work project to which you feel you have a lot to contribute or whatnot.) I feel like that kind of thing is rarer than one would think (at least in my world).

Um… beyond that, I guess there’s also the rare occasion when I feel like I’ve had a long-term positive impact on somebody (or somebodies) else. That’s a pretty good/powerful feeling. Even just making somebody smile can be great, especially if they’re going through a hard time, but to me, the feeling tends to be about as fleeting/small (or as big/lasting) as the impact it seems to have. So “briefly making somebody smile” vs. “helping somebody find a good job” is lakes vs. oceans.

Felines: Something that makes you feel better after a hard day?

Literally my roommates’ cats. They’ve decided they (really, really) like me, and will often beg for cuddles (while purring like tanks), which always makes me feel both loved and relaxed.
