^ I would love to go travel to Watership Down as well! Speaking of the book, have you read the sequel, Tales from Watership Down? Or have you watched the movie or either one of the TV series (I think there's a cartoon and a Netflix animated show)?

I haven't read the sequel book yet, but I did buy the book sometime ago. I just need to get around to reading it eventually. :P

Do you like Sesame Street?

I haven't watched that show.

Kenshi Yonezu - Lemon (English Lyrics)

[Intro]
How I wish it were only a dream
Even now I still dream of you
I brush the dust off from old memories
Like returning home to retrieve a forgotten item

[Verse 1]
In the end it was you who taught me that
Some happinesses can't be reclaimed
My dark, hidden past I dared not speak of
Without you, they would have remained forever dark

[Pre-Chorus]
I know there is no way I could ever hurt
More than I do now

[Chorus]
Even the sadness from that day, еven the pain from that day
I loved it all, togеther with you
The bitter scent of lemons remains embedded in my heart
Can't make my way home 'til the rain lets up
Even now you remain my light

[Verse 2]
In the darkness I traced the outlines of your back
I remember it's contour so clearly
Every time I encounter something that's all too overwhelming
It's the tears that won't stop overflowing

[Pre-Chorus]
What were you doing, what were you watching
Your face in profile, with a look I'd never seen

[Chorus]
If you are out there somewhere now
Lost in the same tears, the same loneliness as I
Please won't you just erase me from your memory
This I pray for from the bottom of my heart
Even now you remain my light

[Bridge]
More than I knew
I was in love with you
Since then I can't breathe easy
It seems so unreal
How you were always by my side back then
But I will never forget
That is the certain truth

[Chorus]
Even the sadness from that day, even the pain from that day
I loved it all, together with you
The bitter scent of lemons remains embedded in my heart
Can't make my way home 'til the rain lets up
Like a piece of sliced fruit
Even now you remain my light

I'm thinking about the bake sale that I have to help manage tomorrow at my college club. Hopefully we raise a lot of money for our club, we even posted a pretty big poster with a pretty pink colored border on the bulletin board in the cafeteria last week! It's bound to attract many paying customers! :P

I set pretty high standards and expectations for myself, usually trying to set the bar high for my goals. I'm luckily not as obsessed with it as I used to, up to the point where I'd rather just retreat in my shell and start collapsing when the going gets very rough and I don't meet the expectation that I set. These days, striving for high achievement (and perfect, if possible, school GPA) is what I still do, but I definitely will not overdo myself and take care of my mental health. It should be a priority taken seriously for everyone. Number one priority, even!

I’ve always been exactly the same way and have only recently started realizing how perfectionism has harmed me. It’s good that you’re finding a better balance for yourself at a younger age!

Yeah... Mo-o-o had experienced the lowest point of that strain for perfectionism, and that was in the beginning of 10th grade where my academic grades had pretty much crashed for that year. Just wasn't trying, and was absent a lot. Mo-o-o was definitely biting a lot mo-o-ore than he could chew, but yet was too stubborn at first to lay back and take things easier. Big mistake. But luckily, it was also the same year that Mo-o-o had joined the Gang of Five and had already made quite amazing, loving Mu-u-ud Bro-o-others that helped support me during those times. <3 <3

I've vowed since then to try and prioritize my mental health first, even when Mo-o-o wants to strive for the highest far reaches of the stars. Well, to be fair, Mo-o-o still tends to do-o-o that, but at least the fishy is mo-o-ore self aware of his limits and when to take it easy.

I hope yo-o-ou can also find it in yourself to sometimes take a step back and take it easy mo-o-ore as well, Mu-u-u-ud Bro-o-other!!! :smile

It's such a big relief when you let go such feelings of perfectionism, realizing that it is okay to make mistakes, and it is in those mistakes that you can learn and grow as an individual from them. Plus, it's nice to share those mistakes to hopefully let others learn from them and not have to learn the hard way themselves!

Thank yo-o-o-ou for the additional scenes of the future Mr. Stick chapters, Sneak! :chompysmile

Plus, that Chapter 1 ending is bit sp-o-o-oky... Mr. Stick clone?!?!
Okay well... after looking for a second longer, doesn't appear to be another stick figure person. Wonder what that is. :thinking

And dang, those future rooms are mo-o-ore complex fo-o-or sure! That other community needs all the luck and encouragement that they can get! :idea
