Thunder, lightening, the sound of rain on my window.
Love a nice storm, so relaxing in a way
Sunlight, food, my handsome partner, orgasms, music from my past, sleep, my cat, socializing while playing videogames, the knowledge that I'm improving my physical state, angry validation from other queers, peace and quiet, masturbation, porn, drugs, knowledge in general, good anime, the long healthy grass I can see from my window, drinking cool clean fresh water, the filthiest queer poly cnc abo smut i can find, the degoogle tech movement, the anti-facist movement in paris, luigi followers, star trek, ice cream, gw2, making music, carbonated beverages, getting better at things, seeing pictures of myself in threesomes, looking forwards to good things :) in the future, being lusted after, being loved, feeling love for others, trying to find my people, learning about myself, meditation, the fediverse and being able to speak relatively freely again, living in a liberal area, knowledge that I live in a liberal area and don't have to fear as much, cozy outfits, cuddling, piracy, helping make technology that I believe is ethically good, seeing people that also want to do good in the world and have a spine about it,
Yeah that's all I've got for now.. basically it circles around setting the good things in life, no matter how small, and also appreciating the few objectively nice things I do have in life, like a loving partner and my functioning senses.
I'm glad you have so much going on to appreciate, sounds like you've got it made in the shade!

Getting together with my friends online a couple times a week to play R.E.P.O.. I've been going through a rough patch with my fiance recently and being able to get out of my head and sneak around haunted houses has been really helpful
You gotta play hard to work hard, and work hard to play hard. Life is about balance. If you take loans out from your future, you still have to repay them. Always invest in yourself. I'm in a similar place as you, though not relationship wise, and I find the more I'm able to let go and carelessly lean into my actual interests, the better I feel. Weird how that works huh lol

The closest friend i made since moving abroad alone 2 years ago, changed their mind and they are not moving out of the city. Also, two of my favorite bands put out killer new albums that fit the eternal combo of coffee+tobacco really well
What is life without good friends and music? I'm glad you have both of things bringing you joy right now.
β¦ not much.
My romantic life is painful and turbulent at best. My job is collapsing because of the tariffs. I owe too much on my car to keep it if I lose my job and it needs a new clutch anyways, which is about $3000 that I donβt have for the cheap one. Family is distant, cold, and unsupportive. My government is doing its best to make life (as a trans person) as painful as possible. Best friend died last year, my only other friend has just kinda fallen off the face of the earth. My hobbies are frustrating and unfulfilling. I have vivid nightmares nightly. My body is deteriorating to the point of near disability. I eat the same shitty $5 chicken sandwhich every day. Insurance wonβt cover therapy and suicide seems more and more likely by the day.
My coffee was warm this morning though so, I guess Iβve got that going for me today.
Damn, that's all so very heavy. Honestly, I wish I had prefaced this post in some way, because the truth of the matter is that not everyone is feeling happiness these days. I'm really sorry, especially for the persecution trans people are experiencing, y'all unequivocally do not deserve any of that. I hope things improve, and that you're able to find peace, safety, and meaningful happiness in your life, you deserve it β€οΈ
Partner and kitties. When they (kitties) aren't screaming at me while I'm on the phone for work while wfh. So fucking rude. That's sarcasm. No one seems able to infer it anymore.
Cats are brats but too cute so they can get away with whatever
Seeing Jason probably
Nice!
I'm a month away from completing my union electrician apprenticeship. It's been a lot of work, and there is plenty more to come. But after five years of working towards something, it'll be nice to reach a big milestone.
Well done, that's a hell of an accomplishment that will set you up for life, world will always need sparkies

Iβm very happy to be a land owner. Just a few months ago I bought some land and now live in an RV on the land. Tomorrow we drive about 7 hours round trip and get the last of our stuff from storage. So happy to not pay that rent anymore.
We have fresh air, beautiful views, and tons of space to work on projects, free electric from solar, and soon free water from rain. I canβt wait to start our garden soon, then it will be free groceries.
Damn. Amazing. Are you in the States? What's your latitude/geography like? Do you have a water source, as well as electricity?

Living the absolute dream, that sounds like an amazing new venture and I wish you well in all of your future projects
The fact that this all is going to end sooner or later.
Ya, sometimes life can feel so overwhelming and I long for death, not in like a suicidal way, but just like the absence of the stress of everything
This instant? PBS Kids.
Love pbs, whatcha got going?
I have no idea. Something called "Milo"?
It's just nice to be able to put something on that's innocent and childlike. There isn't much like that around.
It's gentle.
That's a fantastic idea, I'm stealing this
My cat has been extra cuddly lately. Earlier she slept in my arms using one as a pillow.

I'm really struggling but actually doing extremely well, all things considered. We've had a hostile takeover so even if I keep my job, it really feels like it's going to shit. My garage was broken into and my bikes nicked or damaged - that really sucks bug moreso because is my main hobby, exercise and coping mechanism :(
I'm hoping I can order a new mountain bike with a gearbox, so that'll be really exciting - but it's ages away at best.
The reality is my family love me and I'm successful, so in real terms, things are good - but I really need to work on my imposter syndrome and inner accuser!
That does sound stressful, and I'd be pissed if anyone fucked with my garage, that is a sacred space! Sounds like you've got your priorities in order though, keep on rockin!
