Claiming my B-day post 🐱
Got a new PC monitor, been using an old ancient (not even widescreen) one for 6 months+ since my old one broke down and couldn't afford to replace it. Never got used to the screen real estate claustrophobia. Can finally breathe and have two windows open side by side again.

It's not my birthday, sorry, I just wanted to comment.
>>9533I'm a few birthdays short of my 30s now. It's rapidly approaching at a rate of one year per year and i'm terrified of being too old for certain things that I want to do but haven't done. I'd like to blame this anxiety on a culture that fetishizes youth, but perhaps I need to find my own strength to persevere.
I don't want to fall into that same pit of despair and self-loathing that I feel I only just clawed my way clear of. I'd been stuck there for 15 years, I don't wanna go back.
I hope you had a nice birthday anyway. Maybe you got to do something nice with a friend.

At last it's my turn for this thread! Not doing anything fun or special, but I did get a call from my sister and later on I'm gonna go buy myself a nice takeout dinner and probably way too many drinks.
>>9533>>9537I'm in the same aging boat as you guys. It's a big source of stress to be honest, but dwelling on it won't help any. I probably don't have my life as together as I should at this age, but all I and anyone else can do is their best. I do really believe that saying about only being as old as you feel.

No.13094
>>13090Thanks, sushi. It was quite nice, I finished an anime and finished a great mod for one of my favorite video games too. This mod really gave me an appetite to dive further into mods. I also discovered a good looking game that I will emulate soon. Still missing my cat though, even though she is dead since a year and a half now.
To be honest I don't really see how you can make friends here, through the contact thread, or what?
No.13095
>>13094Yeah that and the game threads and other things! I've made 4 friends on sushi so far that I chat with almost everyday (and have been for most of this year).
I also think of sushimin as a friend even without talking together personally, but they're still my friend at heart!!

No.16234
>>13996Oh, hey, it's that time of the year again. I don't know what happened in the meantime. I spent the day at work, which was unremarkable. People at work are fine, they're just not my kind of people. We're bringing in a new guy, so he hung around in the later hours. I'm too enthusiatic when talking about some of the things I've done, I'm afraid he might think I'm slightly manic.
When I came home my dad had bought some party snacks and made a cake. We ate and sung happy birthday and ate. That was really nice; my dad and brother and sister make for a nice family. I suppose I should cherish them.
I don't like talking about work. When I was a NEET, I told myself if I ever got a job, that I wouldn't let it take much of a central place in who I am. But I'm just shallow and uninteresting no matter what I seem to do anyway, at least a job holds some semblance of legitimacy. So what else am I supposed to do? You are what you do, after all.
I suppose I should be satisfied. I'm learning Japanese, and I'm *actually* learning Japanese. I can squeeze a few interesting projects at work, and I'm set up for a promotion in the near future. I have a few programming side-projects I've been working towards, that I actually care about. But in retrospect, it all feels like I'm just going through the motions. "Oh, time for doing flashcards; you've been keeping a good streak, it'd be a shame if you missed a day." "Oh, let's read some more of that visual novel; immersion is the essence of language learning." "Oh, entrance exams are coming; you don't want to fail again, better write that practice essay, or brush up on your chemistry, or whatever." "Oh, you don't want to waste the weekend away; better take some time to work on a side-project." It isn't like any of those are unenjoyable, or purposeless, but looking at it from a holistic point of view, the baseline feels so… nothing. If I'm not mechanically working away towards something, them I'm nothing, because you are what you do, but it all feels like an eternal everyday and I still have no idea of who I am anyway so what's the point.
I had forgotten I share a birthday with Yume Nikki. It'd be nice to wander around for a while, but I don't know if my enthusiasm is really there, and I really ought to sleep. Tomorrow is work, after all; but we'll see.
Looking at past me is bittersweet. I seemed a lot more directed, I suppose. I knew what I cared about, and I actually *cared*. Paradoxically, I meandered a lot, couldn't commit to anything, but I knew what I cared about; there was a sense of importance, a sense of belonging, something like that. Outwardly I seem to look better than ever, but I can't seem to care about any of it anymore, always keeping a cool distance. What an unremarkable day. Here's a nice UNDER17 song:

Let's see, I think over the past year I've had 3 exes, am currently dating someone for money who I've nicknamed "Flour", and am having an affair with three other people who I've all nicknamed "Flower". I'm currently rather depressed because I can't afford SRS (sexual reassignment surgery), but hopefully things turn around for the better soon. If you want to be friends with me or harass me, you can send a friend request on discord to "recima", or you can stop by

No.18917
>>16234And here we are, yet again. I guess this should be where adulthood really begins. Younger me used to say I'd die at this age, but it doesn't seem that likely anymore. I figure I should be glad.
People at work remembered. They bought a cake and everything. It was really nice. I don't know what I should do about this, but it makes me feel really guilty, with how much they seem to esteem me versus how misplaced I always seem to feel. On the other hand, I've been working more than I ever thought I would, and yet I'm not unhappy about it. I wonder what this says about me.
My sister tried to bake me a cake, but somebody had left a bowl inside the oven and now it's a plastic mess. We'll see how much damage that has done tomorrow, but hopefully we get a working oven by the time her birthday comes around - that's just a few days away. I feel rather sorry for her.
I hopped onto a Discord call with a few friends and walked around Yume Nikki for a while. I didn't get to visit everywhere I wanted to, but it was nice anyway.
I don't know what else to write here. The year passed uneventfully - I seem to still be pretty much at the same place as yesteryear. That dreadful feeling that I've somehow lost my way, I missed something that ought to have been clear, still lurks around. I've became rather adept at keeping it at bay, but there's still the feeling I shouldn't be dismissing what might be telling something so bluntly.
But I shouldn't want to sound so ungrateful - today was a happy day. Hope all sushis have had a nice year so far :D

A week late, but I still wanted to post something here anyway.
Since the last post I made in this thread, it feels like my life is gearing up for major changes. Due to a large sum of debt being lifted from me, I have way more financial flexibility than I've ever had. For the first time, major purchases like home and transportation don't seem like a pipe dream. Even stuff like expensive hobby items are well within reach. It's a nice feeling, but I hope not to take this for granted.
In addition, my mental health has taken a turn for the better as well. I feel much more in sync with myself, more understanding, more forgiving. I'm learning more about myself, rather than judging and comparing to what I "should" be. This is also a nice feeling.
I didn't draw as much as I hoped to, but I'm willing to be patient here.
In all, I feel more hopeful and positive.
