. How are you doing?
The week has just ended. Life is going by too quickly.
2. What has been going well for you? What has been challenging?
My mind and past experiences is my own enemy.
3. What is on your "plate" this week?
Trying to work on this list that I made.
4. If you could have dinner with anyone from the past, who would you choose and why?
Robin Williams. He is a real person if that makes any sense.
tw: misogyny, violence
1. I'm doing okayish!
2. Work going well. Challenge: Frustrated by two of the younger people in my continuing ed class. Interested to know if anyone has opinions on this. I raised the question of how to depict malice (and its causes) in fiction (the character in question is an incel who eventually shoots up a building; a classmate took issue with the lack of an inciting incident other than repeated rejection except by "low status" prospects). Obviously, not everyone who gets rejected or bullied turns to violence. They're usually radicalized by an online group. For the same reason, they're usually fairly young. But the character in this instance was 40. To me, it was appropriate to ask: what if the character just has ASPD? Is that a copout? It exists. To which other students in the group either said "yes, it is a copout" or conflated ASPD with other mental illnesses and accused me of binary thinking. What I would like to know is this: were these 25 year olds being obtuse, or do I need to reexamine my unconscious biases towards the violently insane? Thank you for any honest feedback! It is much appreciated. :)

everything now is all getting to be called trauma.....has been growing and growing.....even people wanting attention by using word lots........just have to over look so much

3. What is on your "plate" this week? Dentist apt. volunteering
4. If you could have dinner with anyone from the past, who would you choose and why? My Opa, because I love and miss him
I loved that little bunny graphic! Omg. I often think about things I have to do as looong lists and they get daunting... This is a great way to adjust my perspective.
1. How are you doing?
I'm well! It's been a long while since I've been on 7cups, but I needed to come back for a while.
2. What has been going well for you? What has been challenging?
Going well: I've been with my family, and my birthday is next week! I'm happy about it. I'm finally recovering from a hard couple of months.
Challenges: Well, I've had a hard couple of months. I am also wrestling with a job I need to complete that is taking a lot of mental energy I don't ever feel like I have...
3. What is on your "plate" this week?
Oh, it sure feels like a lot! Laundry, registering my car (getting a subsequent smog), birthday plans for a friend, birthday plans for MYSELF, a big week at work, cleaning the house, and other things... But I'll try to portion out my platefuls one day at a time!
4. If you could have dinner with anyone from the past, who would you choose and why?
If I could have a translator or somehow speak Italian, Leonardo da Vinci. I just don't know if he'd be very talkative, haha.
