LostinTranslation's One Line a Day Thread ❤

LostinTranslation90 April 4th, 2023

❤ Starting date: Tuesday 4/4/2023

❤ I'm OK with responses, I think! Might be subject to change?

I'm not sure why but I feel kind of embarrassed to be posting on here, I'm always afraid I'll look back and be embarrassed or something?

It's going to rain today so I'm very excited for that! I was outside and it got really cloudy and I heard thunder so I am so ready for it. I had no motivation to do any homework earlier but now I really want to finish up my homework for one of my classes and get an exam done for another class and then I can enjoy the rain. I might watch a movie later, I think that would be nice ❤

I'm kind of sad that I haven't really done anything creative since spring break. I was so happy and unburdened by classes, I had all these ideas and I got really into making charms and stuff, and I think classes are just stealing my soul again. I really don't like business and why I even went into it is a very long complicated story (This field is just not for me but it's too late for me to change and honestly I don't think its really even up to me), and I'm trying my best to hold on to my dream of going back to college and going into the degree I want but it feels like it's getting harder and harder. I still don't want to give up on it though. It's got to be possible, it's just that sometimes it feels so far away and so hard to achieve.

Take care and stay safe everyone ❤

Homework took up way more time than I thought it would and it didn't rain very much at all :( disappointing. but my kitty was asleep on the chair in my room and was all cuddled up in a blanket ❤ he was just so cozy and fast asleep, it's what he deserves ❤❤❤

I'm kind of down right now cause i have work and class tomorrow, and i really don't want to go to class...instructors this semester just do not seem to want us to pass their classes and I'm really not sure why. I'm kind of disheartened too because there's a volunteer activity going on after my class where people are going to walk dogs at a local animal shelter and I thought it would be really fun and a good way to meet people but i won't be able to go :( i think it might be different if i was living on my own but unfortunately i am not. my parents said i could volunteer at another animal shelter in the summer so I'm just hoping they hold to that and allow me to when summer comes around. oh man but i have summer classes. i feel like i tell myself this every semester but i really hope i can actually make an effort to enjoy summer instead of letting work and class take up all my time.

I think tomorrow I might call and schedule a counseling appointment at my college. it would be good to talk to them about my degree and stress and about getting an ADHD evaluation, I think, among other stuff. i'll do my best 👍

and spring is my favorite season so having just remembered that it's now April and springtime, i've got to try to make an effort to enjoy it. i don't know what i can do though? (does anyone have any ideas for things they like to do in spring/summer?)

I'm going to go get cozy and maybe watch a movie a little bit before i have to go to sleep.

I hope all of you have a wonderful day/night and good dreams ❤ take care of yourselves

I like to make giant bubbles in the spring! A slight breeze on a spring day and giant bubbles will surely turn a good day into a great one, not just for you, but for all who see you make them ! 🫧🫧🫧

@LostinTranslation90 thanks for joining in! I usually think looking back at writing does feel a bit odd but helps sooo much with things we forget. So I'm trying to also write about better things as well. It feels nice that way to have somethings to look back to.

I really like that! It sounds really nice to have a collection of good memories to look back on ❤ Take care!

What a day. Yikes. I'm relieved it's over. It started off really good, but right now I'm just glad to have survived relatively unscathed. I want this semester over with and I want to actually start living my life again. Like I literally can't even find my student ID, I had to report it as lost, and my hands keep shaking really badly when i start writing on paper and I have no idea why.

Anyway why does my cat have to be so cute?????? He's just got these big shiny eyes and this tiny pink nose and little white feet with pink beans. And i love when he gives kisses ❤ He always looks like he's smiling when he's sleeping

Also I did it!! I did schedule a counseling intake appointment today!! I really really hope this will help but I'm feeling pretty optimistic!

And I think I might do something nice for myself and order Redwall from the bookstore. I don't really know a whole lot about it, someone in a youtube comment i saw a little while ago mentioned it and i looked into it, and today I read through the whole sample available and it just seems so cute?? They are just little creatures and (tw for mild food talk) the food descriptions sound so good?? And i think it would be nice to have something to read again!

And there was a new episode of my TV show on today, always nice to look forward to!

Take care everyone ❤ Have a good day/night, and good dreams!

LostinTranslation90 OP April 6th, 2023

Today has been a pretty good day! I painted my nails and I went for a walk outside. I found some rocks that I really want to paint! And I bought Redwall for myself! It should be arriving in a few weeks ❤ It's arriving on a Monday though (not gonna lie I do wish that in the future I can have a job that interests me and that I might even enjoy or get excited about so Mondays are no longer Mondays. I think it's possible, I really do, I know it's gotta be)

And today was so beautiful and sunny, and all the trees and flowers are starting to bloom, there are a few flowers and dandelions already out! And there are some tiny purple flowers at the edge of the woods that are blooming ❤ I really want to plant something again this year, but I'm kind of hesitating because I know my dad will make fun of me and I'll be so discouraged if nothing happens again this year (although, of course I made mistakes, but I do feel that a lot of the trouble from last year was not actually caused by me, and it's a long story, but I do believe that if it had been up to me it might have gone a lot better.)

But every year I learn something new. And last year I was so close to success. I did get four tomatoes from the tomato plants I grew myself last year. 🍅 I'll succeed someday, I know I will, I haven't learned all of this from scratch for nothing

Every day the urge to leave everything behind and travel hundreds of miles away to go live on a farm grows stronger, I'm telling you (today was a good day so this isn't out of dissatisfaction! It's just that I want my farm)

I really do want to get into doll making - there's a lady I watch on youtube that makes dolls, like actual dragons and mythical creatures, and I really want to do what she does! I think it would be so cool to make a bunch of creatures from Subnautica because that's one of my favorite games. I think that might be a little ambitious, though, so I have some other ideas that might be easier to start with but that I still am excited about making! ❤

I hope you all are doing well, having a great day/night, and that any struggles you're going through pass quickly and easily ❤ Take care of yourselves!!

LostinTranslation90 OP April 8th, 2023

Well, today didn't go exactly how I imagined, but it wasn't bad. I spent some time outside and I made some bread today. And I had good dreams last night, which I always love having ❤ I'm very glad I'm not dreaming about homework or anything like that. I'd really miss it if I stopped having really good, fantastical dreams.

LostinTranslation90 OP April 9th, 2023

Someone stop me before i order one of those super expensive but unbelievably beautiful fantasy fairytale dresses

Oh darn! I missed a couple of days!

Today I decided to spend the day taking care of myself instead of struggling with homework all day. This was the best choice I've made in a long time. I got a lot done that I just kept putting off, I actually read a couple of chapters in one of my favorite books, I went outside, I did a lot of healthy stuff for myself - It wasn't so much self-care as in face masks and stuff, although I love doing those things, it was more self-care as in, what do I need to do for myself, what do I need to do beyond the bare minimum to take care of myself (exercise, laundry, getting vitamin D, etc.). I'm not sure if that makes sense? I still did some homework just to stay on top of it, but I was really careful in that I chose one specific class to work on that I knew I could get done, and when I finished the assignment, I was done, I didn't try to start anything else.

But it's spring, like fully spring now, like it was 70 degrees F outside today. So I'm excited! But it's already the 11th of April! And I'm kind of freaking out because this is my favorite season and I don't want to waste it! I don't want to spend entire days on school, I really need to be more mindful about setting a time for homework and a time for everything else. Like, "okay, I'll work on school from (time) to (time) and then spend the rest of the day doing xyz." And if I'm not finished, that's just too bad, it's not about grades anymore it's about 💐🌼❤✨me✨❤🌼💐 /j

But I went on a walk and there are these tiny little white flowers with yellow centers that have popped up next to the tiny purple ones and they're so cute! ❤❤❤ And today was an absolutely gorgeous day out! This was a good day. I'm glad to have taken it kind of slow and just focused on what I needed to do for myself.

Take care all of you! Have a great day, or a good night, and good dreams!

Thank you for sharing! I just want to encourage you, it’s never too late for change. Especially if you know now what you do/don’t want to do. I got my undergrad degree about 5 years ago in a field I wasn’t interested in, tried to make it work with various jobs but that all fell through. Now applying for grad school for a different field and I am SO excited about it. For whatever reason life took me on this winding path to get me where I was supposed to go, but I have no regrets. Be brave and go for your dream!

@GP2695 Thank you so, so, so much for sharing this - this means so much to me. This is so encouraging to read! Sometimes, at least in my college, it feels like I'm the only one who has ever been in this situation, or that I'm chasing an illusion, and it gets hard to hold onto the hope that I'll go back and get into my dream field - so seeing this really means a lot to me. I really hope you get into your grad school and that it works out really really well for you! Take care! 😊

🌻 🍓⭐

At some point this spring/summer, I really want to drive to the beach town (city?) a little over half an hour away. I tell myself I'll go every year, and so far I haven't, but I really want to go on a nice day. There's a long sidewalk against the channel, and the grass is always so green and people are always walking their dogs, and it leads right to the beach. I always want to just walk along that sidewalk and take in the view. I really want to volunteer at the animal shelter, too!

Also my book is here! ❤❤❤ I'm excited because so far my impression is that they're just tiny mouse knights and I just love that so much

Take care everyone!!! ❤
