I decided to try to stream on Twitch again tonight, but I feel it was a bit of a mistake or... just not the right time of the day.

One viewer who used to frequent my streams in the past came back for a bit. I made the mistake of treating him too friendly and sort of just talked to him normally, but as I was doing this, I found out I didn't actually really like him and found his way of life and existence pretty repulsive.

I kind of compared it to eating some sort of junk food you liked as a kid, and it just like messing your system up really badly. I sort of blocked him unapologetically. Obviously we've grown into two very different people and no longer are compatible for a lack of a better word.

Though, I feel like... I learned something new now. When I was a streamer in the past, I used to be overly people pleasing, but because of my life experiences and everything, I found myself unable to handle bullshit like that anymore. I don't feel bad even.

Maybe I am not meant to go back into streaming again, ( or maybe it is just a bad time right now, who knows ) but I feel like, whether I decide to stream or not again, I think I won't approach things the same way anymore.

I am... actually.. glad? Like, fuck, good for me. I don't think my 20 year old self would've imagined this for me. I do consider myself pretty open-minded, but I also don't want to be contaminated with things I know I just don't vibe with, you know?

I used to be even sort of hesitant to block people who were blatantly sort of trolling or fucking with me. Now I don't care.

zero tolerance policy in place for Kayla

I need to stop eating this really bad instant rice too, it is like giving me weird gas.

I mean I also drank an energy drink which is sugar, and I ate a whole family sized lasagna by myself.

It is a new day now, and yes that gas really affected me when I woke up. It was weird because I was getting a charlie horse in my leg while having to figure out how to release gas to avoid my guts from exploding, it was too much at once.

I also am getting all these messages and phone calls. I am actually way back online. By "online" I mean like my brain, mindset, and mood are all aligned finally and I feel like I can be ultimately productive, none of that bare minium bullshit, which I am happy about.

I mean yea, I still have things I am struggling with, but I feel like the juggernaut now.

7 placements of Capricorn, bruh. It is very much a burden because think of and actual goat, if you shock them too badly they just like stiffen up and fall to the ground and have to lay there for a few minutes.

Goats actually have a genetic condition where if their nervous system are startled too violently, their muscles freeze up and they "faint" though they don't lose consciousness

but when it works, it feels great actually... It is just the build up of momentum is very hard so, that is why I really treasure and enjoy when it does go in that direction, as everyone does I am sure.

Mountains ain't got shit on me.

Anyway, I got a lot of stuff to do, but it is like my TODOs are on autopilot right now, just getting naturally done. It is great.

My mom also replied to me, I won't reply to her but it is ok. At least she is alive and perhaps doing ok. That is good.
