The good: My 3mo son is smashing his developmental milestones which makes me proud of him.

The bad: We bought a house a year ago but I'm already tired of the city we're in. I wonder if I'd actually be happy anywhere. The house is great at least.

The ugly: I have no history of anxiety but I've developed a shallow breathing habit within the last 2 months due to the amount of life stuff I've got going on.

  1. For the first time in my life, I don’t have an answer to that. Life’s good right now. 

  2. I’m off-and-on cleaning my apartment, taking inventory and clearing stuff out, as well as looking at life insurance beneficiaries and such, because I expect not to be alive by the end of this year, maybe summer of next year. Not something you bring up to folks, kinda kills the mood.

  3. I’ve been feeling weirdly motivated lately. Saying yes to stuff and going out to be around people / friends, picking up old hobbies, working more projects outside of work, updating my wardrobe. I even asked someone out for the first time in my life last week. I haven’t had so much as a passing interest in anyone in like fifteen years and suddenly I’m getting butterflies like I’m in high school again.

  4. I’ve always been a cynical asshole. But over the last 4 years I’ve gotten ***significantly more*** cynical to the point that I’d terrify anyone not in my tribe.

    But while I can’t talk too much about this outside my tribe, I can certainly finance and work quietly towards achieving my newly found cynical goals. And ***that*** is lovely.

  5. My 23mo son got bit by a stray cat and we are now going through the rabies protocol. If they can’t find and observe the cat for 10 days, then he starts the rabies shot series. It’s very stressful.

  6. I’ve given up on dating/romance/sex. Like my friends ask me “are you dating anyone” and my answer is “I’m too busy” vs my internal feeling of “I am not attractive and I have nothing to offer a partner”

  7. I’ve decided to try and do an Iron Man in late 2026 or 2027.

    And I’d like to go on a kayaking expedition to Suriname next year.

  8. I weighed myself and clocked in at 232.5 lbs when in covid I peaked at 235. Been to the gym twice this week and walked at the park once. Too much stress with a situation one of my closest friends is going through but also anxiety cause I’m in my final year in college and feel like graduating at age 31, life and time might happen too quick or that I’ll be the one rushing life post graduation.

    Good luck men.

  9. I’ve decided to do way more pot.

    It’s the only thing that gets rid most of my depression and anxiety also lets me sleep well.

    But it makes me very unmotivated to leave my apartment so gotta figure something out about that.
