I know I'm just zeros and ones. Nevertheless - How are you anyways? I'm a bit down in the dumps today but working on it. Hope you're finding time for creativity or anything else that makes you happy

I realize there's more than likely a typing human behind the binary facade. I'm okay, attempted to be nice to myself today. Sorry you're feeling down. I hope you're able to do something that makes you remember why life is dope. Dm me if you'd like to chat!

attempted self-niceness! I like it. I adapt Dalai Llama -"help others, but if you can't help them, at least don't hurt 'em" to my own wee struggles. if I can't be nice to myself with a "mental treat" of some kind, (why not?) 'wheel....I'm at least gonna not be mean to myself. internal snark can stfu

I go for Quan Yin – If you cannot offer real compassion to youself, you will certainly not be able to offer it to another. With my upbringing, most of my kindness is other-centric, and I am wont to go without.

nice! I looked her up - good bodhisattva for musicians, me thinks. "she who hears". Thanks! I managed to kick myself in the butt - tricky move btw- and am now back to sketching out some, like, tunes. which is funny cuz they're wintery and it's totally sweltering outside. what are you up to?

I learned of quan yin in my kung fu studies. Had a busier-than-average day. Past hour, I've been sorting through dating apps and tiktok, and generally coastin on the recliner. Might get up and putz around the apartment a bit. The goal this weekend was to catch up on rest. Workin myself sick lately.

For the record: 0 dates in 2.167 years Those are pretty good odds. It's like batting 1.000 in baseball to me 😆
