In Which I recall some older days, and mental tiredness due to a game I am ambivalent about

Good morning, friend! I wish you, of course, a wonderful Tuesday. How are you? And how have you been? How is the weather? Here it has been not as hot as in late march, I think we are indeed approaching the height of Fall and the gates of Winter, but also, not as coherent as it can be, in the beautiful greys of June and July. As for me, I am... Okay? I did have a messy couple of months, when I think about it, as I described to my dietitian yesterday. I think some therapy could do me good? I certainly miss it. I of course can't return now due to the lack of funds, but it is not as urgent, either, given I am stable as long as I have my medicine for mental regulation of the humors. Right now I am just tired, guess a reason to write today's post, I was not planning to write as much in the beginning of today. I am mentally exhausted. It is how I feel after every match of Victoria 3, which is a game that it is haed for me to say if I actually love it, or just play compulsively. Defini...

In which we have an extra post to have some erudite music!

And again happy Friday guys!!! A great afternoon to you all!!
And here I am again! So fast, right?? Hope I'm not being overwhelming, but I just wanted to have a separate post to share one of my favorite erudite compositions with you guys, continuing the music Friday! It's just a quick post, but oh dear this piece by Gabriel FaurĂ© (1845-1924), present on the soundtack of Sid Meier's Civilization V, is one of my favorite pieces ever! Civ V is wonderful and Gabriel FaurĂ© is wonderful too, also I heard it's been 8 years since this game, that is my favorite, was released, so it just makes sense!!!! I'm gonna share first the version of the game composition, because this interpretation is my favorite, but I could only find it so far on youtube:
And here it's the version for Spotify, which is not orchestral, but still wonderful:

Here's a painting of Gabriel talking about it, he has some pretty iconic facial hair, as we can see!

This piece has a huge and strong impact in my life, and I can't tell how much I love it, since the first time I heard it in 2011, while playing Civ. I never forgot of it and I never will forget, it will forever be a part of my life. My life is better because of Gabriel and this amazing composition, I just had to share this with you guys. It was a bad week, but as long as I can still listen to this, I will holding the conviction that my future is better and my mind will be calm and I'll be happy 100%. Hope you guys are fine, and see you guys next time! Which is probably tomorrow, cause tomorrow is post day, but anyway, see you guys next time!
And don't worry by how short this post is, I'll have more erudite pieces in the future here!!
