I’m ok Tommy, thanks! I seem to be a bit fatter, so I’m going to have to back off on the snacking. 😂 I guess I’m stress-eating. My extended family isn’t doing well. They’re feuding, but I’m staying as far away from that as possible. I uninstalled Messenger and do not regret it. 👍🏼 I am stressed out enough as it is. I wish I could resolve my chronic pain. That and muscle weakness are what’s affecting me most, so pretty much the norm around here. I’m worried about others. How’s things for you?
I guess I have to say once, although I’ve experienced other strong feelings that people often misread as being “in love”. I’ve never been safe in a relationship, so this is not an easy question.How do you define “falling in love?”
One thing that differentiates you from other people??
I don’t know that I’m particularly unique. The thing that stands out to me the most, I guess, is that I’m not materialistic and I never pursue men even if I think they’re attractive, which doesn’t happen often. I have no interest in rings or proposals. I’m not the old-fashioned domestic type, even though I cook and clean, etc. I consider cleaning up after ones self the base standard of adulthood, regardless of gender. I exist in a pretty constant state of altruism. If somebody needs food, I’ll give them nearly everything in my pantry and live on whatever’s left until I have grocery money again. And I’ll cook it all for them if necessary. I can’t cope with the thought of others feeling as hopeless as I have, so I try to help, within reason. Or maybe I’m unreasonable about it sometimes. I’m more self-aware than I used to be. I analyze everything and try to be better than I was before, even if that process is delayed at times. Sometimes very delayed, which is regrettable. But I’m always under construction. I don’t want to ever stop learning and growing as a person, but I don’t want it to be painful either. I am slow to trust, but affectionate and loyal to those who respect me. I’m an empath and find that I care way more about some people than they care about me, but it’s a harmless, protective kind of care. I’m frequently misunderstood.
The one thing I can think of is that everyone is sort of in the same boat right now, at least to an extent. There is a silent understanding, and it is seemingly worldwide.
I keep a few very specific things inside. I am open and shamelessly honest about the rest. Some people think I share way too much, but I believe in transparency in spite of being an introvert.
Which male celebrity do you wish was your brother?
Sean Astin or Lin-Manuel Miranda
How much could you not leave your house at all? #StayAtASK
I prefer to be able to leave, but if I have to shelter in place, I will be ok. I’ve lived through plenty of bad times when I was so sick I couldn’t leave my bedroom for weeks and even months at one point. It’s awful, but I survived. I will survive this too.I’m extremely worried about loved ones who work essential jobs and my doctors+their staff. My family is also feuding right now, so stress is very high. As long as everyone makes it out of this alive, we’ll get through it.I’m going to allow personal questions today (Friday). Rules: do not ask me to talk about exes/divorce, do not ask for details about abuse/trauma, and don’t ask gross sexual questions.Other than that, AMAA (ask me almost anything).
I posted a need for electrolyte drinks (I have hypokalemic periodic paralysis) and some of my online friends sent quite a few (!) cases from Amazon. I really appreciate their kindness. ♥️
