I'm doing good. Accomplish male. Like Mlanie would say.

I shower five times a day, I brush fifteen times a day, and I shit fifteen times a day. I never wash my face for a cleanse. In fact, the shower takes hours of my day, every day, to clean. It is difficult to shower regularly without washing your face. Your skin is like a piece of glass. If you don't care for yourself, where do you find an outlet for your feelings? If you're constantly making excuses for not being strong, if you're constantly trying to hide what you're capable of, or if you're always worrying about the feelings you get when you're not strong, it can get very difficult to continue to live your life. For me, I don't go to a social place, because my friends know it isn't productive. I go to work, I come home, and I drink coffee. The idea of going to work or coming home and drinking coffee is one of my oldest desires that I've had since I was ten years old. The fact that I haven't made that decision makes me weak. The idea of going to work is so exhausting. To me, the only way that people can truly learn to trust themselves is to experience life fully for themselves, and I try to help others by saying, "Stop acting up." I have tried to educate myself on how to use my positive energy and to live through my own pain and fear, without judgment or shame. When you get comfortable, you're able to create a more compassionate and loving community than you are right now, and you're able to be more creative. But your community won't be created by the actions of you. If you're trying to improve, learn to be more accepting, open to dialogue, and to experience the world from your perspective, stop being so sensitive. Try to find the joy and beauty in everyone in the room, and be open to learning more about their lives. Don't be afraid to have doubts. Even if they're not there yet, when you're in the room, you're able to express those doubts, and get closer to the person who really matters. Once you can't hear what you're saying, it's easier to hear what they're saying. Let others talk. If someone else doesn't want to listen to you, you can be the one to listen and help them learn to speak from your heart.

No, but I live in a pretty humid environment.

Also, what is the point of this thread? Scotty, how about add sex to that list, huh?

---

I do all of that stuff but I don't sleep much. I work nights and have so much trouble sleeping that I take supplements to make me drowsy. Otherwise I'd be up late drawing, painting, recording audio/video, coding or playing games.

i was told my ass tastes good???

I wake up, lay in bed for a solid hour because I don't see a reason to keep going because waking up is already a massive disappointment and a terrible start to my day and I pick up the food lying around and eat whatever isn't too grimy and moldy. I wash it down with stale water. I practice hygiene but only so I don't get hygiene related health problems that may require getting medical attention. This would mean going outside, which I never do. Naturally this also means I don't feel the sun on my flesh or water in my lungs as I drown because I can't swim. When I wash up on shore, I'm entangled with the bicycle I was trying to ride. I can't ride a bicycle so I drove it into many trees and off a cliff and into the sea. But as we already covered, I can't swim. I desperately try to save the bike but it can't swim. That's when I realize it's actually someone's pibble. I was trying to ride a pibble like a bike, which explains muchly.

Why would you call my post a joke?

And no, it's not because I'm upset over losing a job, it's because I don't have my head wrapped around why this is happening to me. I'm just mad, as I've been for years now, about what happened, mostly about how hard it was for someone who has so many children to take care of me. I've struggled with how to make sure they don't see me with other people because I don't know that I can do that without them worrying about coming home to see me, and I'm constantly trying to think of ways to give them an alternative role model.

But then, maybe the most disturbing part is that I've tried to convince myself that maybe I'm wrong about myself, and maybe I'm not one of the people who needs love and support and it's time I made some changes, but somehow I always feel like I can't even open up about my past.
