Depression is such a fickle beast. I can relate to the idea of knowing that I'll feel slightly better after connecting with someone, but just not having the energy to do it at the time. While the self-awareness is good, it's not helpful when we don't find ourselves able to act. I'm not sure if this helps, but I've found it useful sometimes to have a set plan with Brandon. Of course, there are times when both of our mental health states aren't great, and it's more challenging. But sometimes he's able to remind me that I need to reach out to others, or he's able to help me facilitate that. It's easier said than done, but sometimes having someone else tell me that my goal for the day is to reach out to a friend helps me feel accountable and motivated. Either way, if it ever helps talking with Brandon and me, we're always here for a chat, or an online game or movie night.<br /><br />Despite all that, you should be proud of how much you've accomplished this year. We've really enjoyed the consistency of the Book of Destiny and admire your dedication in commiting to that! I'm sure others have appreciated listening and sharing that fun adventure with you too. <br /><br />That is also very impressive about the Daily Audio Bible and sticking with that even when you felt daunted about falling behind in the past. I'm glad that was able to provide you a little hope and peace during this challenging year. <br /><br />The fact that you and Hope provided such a loving and stable environment while fostering is no small feat. You should be very proud of yourself for everything you've accomplished this year. <br /><br />Best of luck with all your goals for this year! We'll look forward to the Book of Virtue especially. ☺️DiamondintheRoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097627723387960931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128353092081803609.post-8592264258460817272020-12-01T11:44:18.808-05:002020-12-01T11:44:18.808-05:00Well, at least Desmond is trying...Well, at least Desmond is trying...Worlds of GOALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706676735940205220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128353092081803609.post-60304182402815675942020-12-01T11:27:31.133-05:002020-12-01T11:27:31.133-05:00We laughed about the affinity for death part. ☺️We laughed about the affinity for death part. ☺️DiamondintheRoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097627723387960931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128353092081803609.post-47384928491742864252020-10-27T05:22:35.546-04:002020-10-27T05:22:35.546-04:00Oh no, I really don't know how to respond to t...Oh no, I really don't know how to respond to this without posting spoilers!Worlds of GOALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706676735940205220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2128353092081803609.post-50796304353609249822020-10-25T13:56:29.973-04:002020-10-25T13:56:29.973-04:00Brandon and I were both surprised by the ending!! ...Brandon and I were both surprised by the ending!!

Although, Hope and I were recently watching an episode of Doctor Who called "Tooth and Claw." In it, at one point, one of the characters has an item they believe is cursed:<br /><br />Character:Perhaps its legend is now coming true. It is said that whoever owns it must surely die.<br /><br />The Doctor: Well that’s true of anything it you wait long enough.<br /><br /><br />Sort of reminded me of Thompson's confirmation bias with his own curse.
