Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Haven't written a journal in a while, mainly because time hasn't been permitting it as of late. Real life is just kicking my butt with just one thing after another, as I try to balance my personal life, social life, and work life. When I say personal, it does not include social life because it is literally just me balancing what I eat, how I exercise, my personal hobbies (manga/books/etc), and my sleep. My social life is how I communicate with friends and family, usually including the lengths I go to for keeping myself present and active in those friendships. My work life is, well, my work life! What's funny is that I spoke with my mom today, and you know how moms do that thing where they will talk about you in the other room but just loud enough to make sure you hear there? She was talking about how she wished that I had a girlfriend and how awesome it would be for me to have kids and all sorts of stuff like that. I don't think the idea is bad, but she tries to corner me with those kinds of conversations with she gets the chance. On one hand I wouldn't mind it, but on the other hand I'm really enjoying life right now. I've had a taste of what life is like with a girlfriend, and I don't mind it, but it's not something that I will be actively seeking. If I get a bad girlfriend, I'll just end up miserable so why even bother seeking? To be honest, I hardly ever find a single woman who is at the same level of kindness and compassion that I am at, and when I do I really don't mind just being their friend. It's kind of how I roll, because I am that nice guy. I'm not that cliche nice guy who tries really hard and is stepped on, I'm that nice guy who doesn't try and doesn't get hurt because he's busy enjoying life on his own so much that he kind of doesn't care who gets the girl in the end. One day, God will throw someone at me who is a good match, or he won't, either way I'm loving my life. Maybe I have a mental disability where I enjoy things too much? If I do, I'm never taking medication for it.

Also, did leg day on the wrong day because I was working out with a couple friends trying to get them more active... Rest day is today, but dang am I still feeling it... My legs are absolutely DEAD right now and I'm going to be meeting with someone in Santa Clarita tomorrow, and I'll be there for around 8 hours. I am not going to enjoy getting out of my car and walking around after the drive..! I've also gotten my bicep curls up to 60lbs, which was my target weight, and I'm super happy. Incline curls with that weight is still a bit out of range, but I am working towards it. I have a minor wrist injury because of the weights, but I've got a compression sleeve on my wrist helping to keep me patched together. In other news my buddy who ran away is doing okay, but he's still a bit crazy because he continues to have no plan and my friend who got into a car accident is getting a settlement done and will be able to get a new car with 0% APR for 7 years because of the new coronavirus deals that are out right now! He is in a very good position and I'm super happy for him!
