I'm sitting in front of my computer. Sitting at my desk is better than my previous depression where I was laying in bed way too much. I just fought that feeling. I played my sim this morning which helped me feel better. Taking care of her was kinda like taking care of myself. I went swimming and to the library today with my mental health skill builder. I rented 3 DVDs but don't know when I'll have the attention span to actually watch and immerse myself in them. Today is a kinda fucked up anniversary of the last time I saw someone from college I fell in love with, but the love was one-sided and unrequited so it broke my heart. I was reminded of him by a prompt in my finch app, but I'm honestly glad to just get these thoughts out instead of them just existing in my head.

@rebelkatt That sounds good. Mine just came back from hers and she asked me if it was better to be super strong or super fast. I chose super strong and it increased her resilience.
