How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Just wrote one of the hardest things I've ever had to write about. I am exhausted but proud that I did it.

I made the decision last year to include real, emotional things in my fiction rather than just fantastical things. I always do this with my ideal audience in mind - what would grab their attention, pull them along, comfort or inspire them. It's not just about me.
 
😃 Truly delighted to see this Mike, I’m so glad you are doing great! :)*hug*hug

@nicktheundoer - Just wanted to say thank you for your sweet comment on my recent post in here, I am so happy the words I said brought comfort/anything positive at all for you, they were all straight from my heart :);) Hope you and everyone else here are well and for anyone who isn’t feeling good/happy today I hope you will be feeling better soon because you are strong, awesome, amazing and you deserve to feel as good, happy, peaceful and many other positive things as you can, always! :);)*hug*grouphug2

Oh great, you were still able to do that. I was like, "Every time I turn on my PS, I see MAC0 online and he never logs off lol". Speaking of Xbox, I heard Starfield is going to be 30fps. Can't stand 30 on Jedi Survivor no matter how much I try to "like" it since it's the most stable mode. Hope you have fun with those new games you got. I got FFXVI on PS last month but have not even tried it yet. I've been back to playing Elden Ring again.

On topic, my mom was asking about this particular music artist about his songs and other stuff, when I was about to go to bed that later turned into "trip down memory lane" when I started to play those music that I love when I was in HS/college. It was fun and nostalgic, to say the least, and I ended up sleeping a bit later than I hoped for.
Not buying Starfield myself not point its on game pass so will play it that way lol

Theres also spider-man coming which looks great

I'm still undecided when it comes to Starfield as I bought and played Jedi Survivor and no matter how much I tried to be "lenient" and give 30 fps a pass because it's really a great game (a big step up from JFO), the lower refresh rate when using an oled makes it look worse than playing it on a usual 4k tv. It just makes me nauseous at times. Oh, it makes me reminded about your post that you'd maybe wanting to buy a new tv, did you end up getting one? Yeah, Spider-Man 2 is one of those games that I'm really looking forward to, this year. I've finally finished the first game earlier this year. Not done with Miles Morales though lol.

Aha, I have found an advantage to my slow brain, fading eyesight and outdated tech! I have a 1080HD LCD TV that's about 20 years old, so 30fps will be just fine for me. Am looking forward to trying this Starfield when it comes out on Game Pass, though I'd prefer it to be Fallout 5, not sure I'll still be able to see the screen when that comes out 🤔

Having a difficult week with some suicidal ideations. I think, no that can't be me struggling but it is. My oldest son who makes inappropriate comments said a few rude things to me and it hurt, he thinks it's funny but he can't pull it off. But I feel like an outsider at work and lonely at home so there's no place for me in this world I sometimes feel.

I'm sure Starfield on a 30fps will still look and run great on a 1080p lcd tv. Glad you are looking forward to that. :)

Oh man, do I ever know this feeling. I think a lot of people must feel like outsiders at work. I know I mentioned it to someone years ago and she said "But you always seem happy and sociable" so she didn't have a clue. I've had a bunch of people tell me they don't socialize with people from work, either deliberately or because they're not invited. So please don't feel alone in this.

As for your son, I hope you told him it's rude and hurt your feelings. Maybe let him know that you realize his intention was not to hurt you, but the fact is that he did.

i'm sorry that you feel a bit suicidal again, i hope it passes soon. as for your son's comments tell him right out that it hurts and try not making these comments again. it is your home and you should feel comfortable there
