Good morning, my friend, reader of this post! I wish you the best! Hope your 12th was wonderful, or at least better than mine. I mean, my birthday was alright, but I had some issues happening in it. It started with social anxiety due to being with family for a bit, can't feel 100% comfortable around them, and I'll tell you why soon enough. Then I had conflicts with a friend, unfortunately, I mean... I got very much in mental distress worrying our friendship was over, due to my behavior. Well... then an Instagram argument. Then I went to a pizza place with mom and aunt and uncle and my cousins to celebrate my 24th. It was reasonably well, until they made some political comments that made me very upset. Mom is very much a socialist, and so is my aunt and uncle, and I am just the opposite of a socialist, I'm a paleolibertarian, with many conservative values, or at least that has respect for some of those. It's fun because I'm never truly on board with most conservatives in some issues, like, the argument I had in Instagram yesterday was because I saw this post by a conservative print that lamented the fact men do not engage in wars anymore. I think it's in very poor taste to want men to be "masculine" again chanting nostalgically about the times they killed themselves more often in the battlefield, I thought their quote was so in poor taste I had to say something, and then the guy came at me calling me weak and pathetic, I being THE problem in today's "society" according to him, my kind, if there is such thing. Fortunately a sensible conservative fellow came to support my side of things. I wasn't going to engage in such fruitless conversation in a freaking instagram comment, but she did. I had to say to her I appreciated her very welcomed voluntary gesture, and now we are following each other on Instagram, maybe we'll be friends, maybe we won't chat anymore, I don't even know if she's a conservative, I don't even know if I'm actually one either, but well, she valued my "critical thinking", and I believe I did some of that, it was very nice in the end. Funny how small things can make or break some moments. The pizza time would've been enjoyable if it wasn't for the unwanted political remark. The Instagram incident would've been unpleasant, hasn't she come to add to an otherwise barren dialogue started by a keyboard warrior, and yes, there are plenty of keyboard warriors on the conservative, libertarian, whatever side, all sides have those trolls, those alarmist folk. It wasn't a bad day, I'd say, also because Spike cheered me up on his endless stream! He has been live for 9 days straight, his whole routine he has been sharing with us, his community of online friends and supporters. Me and other 90 or something guys had a nice online conversation at his fireplace, fun how internet works, like, Spike was all alone in his house deck, but we were there with him online, chatting with him. Such a lovely moment, one that wouldn't have happened, haven't I had a bad moment. That being said, I think somethings come solely to cause harm, and I'd rather they not happened in the first place, such as my awful time in High School, that was good for nothing, one moment I had to survive instead of live carefree and happy, I barely came out of it, somehow. May seem like a teenager hyperbole, but it was hell for me, those years. My point is, well, at least I had a good time with Spike and his community, I possibly made a friend on Instagram, maybe like-minded. Fortunately, also, I believe my friendship with my dear friend is okay, it was just a not so great moment, caused by me praising him maybe a bit too much. I don't know... I have such an admiration for his intellect and his creative mind. But well...
I know at this point the post is a bit too long by my standards, but I'd love to add a picture from my Best of Instagram moments, let's jump to it, shall we? And maybe I can tell you something exciting.
Picture taken at the garden of my grandma, at mid 2015 I believe, either mid 2015, or around April-May. Lovely Big Ben, haven't seen this one in a while, then again, I don't go to the office of grandpa that often anymore, at his last moments, he did not go there either, couldn't move too well out of bed, unfortunately. But I was born and raised in that room at this house that was his office. In fact, I was basically born and raised at that lovely residence, but anyway, this is story for another time, because you guys know how I feel about posts that get too long.
Most of my birthday money will go to my possible iPad, so I can start my digital drawing journey properly, but I bought a lovely backpack with some of the money I got, the seller worked a discount for me because it was my birthday, which is so much appreciated. It's gonna take sometime to arrive, but it should be a lovely addition to my life. At the moment I have a boring plain backpack, I was in need of something with more personality and cheerfulness.
Well, this post is super big! And kinda personal, don't know if I'll actively promote it, but well, I'm just glad to be here. Happy Saturday, dear friend, and have a jolly good time this new week of August! I hope I may write here again in it (the new week of August), maybe will write more than one post, I hope for inspiration and desire for writing! Either way, cheers!
