How am I going to take care of myself or my son? Road blocks, mental issues, dispute with my ex, mother's judgements

Some how.
I want to be able to make things happen.
I need to be hopeful.
There's a strong sense of saying I want to make it work, and then f*** it all.

My life has been a living nightmare since 2006. Almost 13 years have passed. Why haven't things gotten better? Why am I still socially isolated and creatively underdeveloped?

Past midnight, no chance of rain, a blackout, and a new pair of glasses...


I never seen so many stars for quite some time... It's been several months since I've seen the night sky without the light pollution, my eyesight and most of all the annoying rainy clouds obscuring it.

Tasty as the 'red date milk' was I am self-blaming for having been short-sighted enough to not see a microwave their and wind up consuming irradiated milk since who knows how long..

After a tense pre-dawn, post-midnight discussion with my younger brother I was 'energized' enough to apply to several job openings online; recently I purchased a pretzel from a place which I applied to and now think it's fine. The home maintenance course I am taking ends in early-ish March and I am assuming that it takes ~2-3 weeks to hear back from a possible employer. Hear back--be called in for a job interview, not counting being employed on the spot.

Here

https://torana.dhamma.org/the-centre/getting-here/

is the place someone was told me where ~2 week meditation retreats are done, not to far from Toronto. I am thankful for how busing arrangements to their can be made and for how both my parents seem okay with me doing this. Applying can be done online but their is a indeterminately lengthy 'waitlist'. If I am working by the time, I am told that I am no longer on the wait-list I can merely decline to go..if I am not working (going to try to not factor 'reporting' to social assistance for a while), things float my boat but it only floats my boat if I take steps to thoroughly understand how busing arrangements from being picked up somewhere in Toronto go.

The heftiness of being absent from home for ~2 weeks..being absent from home for ~2 weeks b/c of something I am looking forward to. :? ..I really hope everyone (in my family) can understand a 'possibly don't e-mail or call me for 2 weeks' stance.


meditation is great for many reasons. i am chairing a mtg on meditation tonight. i'll name some of the benefits. improved immune function, larger hippocampus (the memory center of your brain), lower blood pressure, better sleep. and, on a personal note, i get insights ranging from the mundane how to organize my day to the profound why i am the way i am. i am also more likely to accomplish what I set out to do if i meditate before i start.


There is a reason for why persons who meditate in an 'alternative lifestyle' setting like religious monastics are not beyond setting up principles related to celibacy. Sex ('drive') is 'the great de-railer' even to meditation.

i used to have a high sex drive. i don't recall it derailing much of anything.


and lest you think there's a big gender factor, i asked my husband. sex drive never derailed anything for him either. sex is part of a fulfilling life. balance is possible and, i daresay, likely.

Still upset about having accidentally deleted artwork which I like.

It happened b/c I had 'doubles' and thought that if I deleted one it wouldn't effect the presence of the other.

Wait, was this on a physical drive or a storage service?

A customer told me today not to report a certain type of incident because it was obviously bothering them that they couldn't confirm it with their network services provider, "Only report things that we can confirm".

(My initial thought was: "Want to confirm it? Then start recording some network traffic and stop relying on piss poor firewalls written by monkeys with logging that at best - works!")

Needless to say, i died a little and had a brief moment of just standing up and walking home to do something more fullfiling like going out into the woods and abandoning society forever...

Neutron Stars.

Seriously, thet are mind-boggling:

Quote:
Their surface is so smooth that a mirror is a mountain range in comparison, and so dense and hard that a diamond is like the vacuum of outer space in comparison. The surface gravity is so strong that it very visibly bends light, and any matter will get crushed into it so hard that even its constituent particles will break and fuse into neutrons. The whole star has a mass of 1.4 to 2.2 solar masses compressed into a ball of radius around ten kilometers, and can rotate even at over a thousand revolutions per second. Because of this incomprehensibly rapid rotation speed, the star is actually a spheroid instead of a pure sphere, regardless of its density: That's how fast it rotates. And when the rotation slows down over time due to loss of energy, an unstoppable force (gravity) will act on an immovable object (the surface of the star)... When the rotation speed has slowed down enough, the surface will give way and the entire star will restructure as a slightly less elongated spheroid... an event that's so immensely powerful that it emits an incredible amount of energy to outer space as a big flash.

Finally got around to cleaning up the stains on the part of the rug around my cat's litter box.

I thought by the time she reached 13, I would be a lot further along in life, but alas here we are in 2019, and I'm still in the same position. Virginity is still intact, no dating life to even speak of, career is non-existent, still live with parental units. The one saving grace is that I have somewhat of a social life due to my volunteer work, but even that is just limited to just communication on what needs to be done; outside of that, I'm just listening to conversations that half the time I can't even input on due to no relatable experience as a result of not having stepped out as I should have done ages ago.

Who says magic isn't real? I've been doing my own money spells using green candles lately and I just found out that my mom is giving me $50. :lol:

My next-door neighbors new nobs. A door nob can change the look of an entire door. Amazing.

That, between my manager (who I'm pretty close with as he's also on the spectrum) being out of work with a neck injury for the past few months and the day program I've been attending for several years closing down forever come March 15th, I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.

Destroyed my "life" a long time ago

After structural engineering, it felt like going from 100 to zero

But it was more like from 9 to 8

Dichotomous thinking

Counselors encourage dichotomous thinking

"A major loss", aikido

"Horrible" one hour bowel movement

"Sorry" someone had the nerve to tell me that "go back to your country"



All that's left of "life":

Homophobia
Dogs
Drug dealers
Grudges
Brain damage, depression, anxiety, autism
:cry: Structural engineering :cry:


:mrgreen: Aikido
One friend :mrgreen: could lose them at any time


"Most people" are entitled lil dipshits. Today saw Amy Lee b***h. Dog and phone. She acts like it is up to her to say something is "cool" :roll:


Do not say "what" to me, b***h :!: Say " excuse me"


Saw my sister at trader Joe's. She did not appear to have seen me


There are an infinite number of things that I have to avoid and ignore, because they will damage my worthless corpse


There are a few things that might "help" . Or nothing


:mrgreen:


Attitude

Beliefs

Assumptions

Connotation

Denotation

Financial reparations


:roll:


Group home

Nathan Sutherland

Double standards

I'm divergent sure, but... looking at everyone else around here, I'm not the same kind of divergent. Which begs the question, what sort of divergence is this?

...but then I've already said the same thing several dozen times. Not sure what else to talk about.
