mega thread How are you feeling?

[Treeglow Flicker 13,595]

Sweaty.                    

[Igloostellar Snow 1,243]

Now I feel even worse. Everything I do is just WRONG. My mother was taking pictures of me and kept telling me to smile and I was. She started yelling at me and telling me to stop smiling the way I was. She already yelled at me earlier today and I don't want to be here. I just want to go to school already. This is why I don't like summer break. I should be used to this by now but it hurts so much. I just want it all to end already.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're carrying a lot right now, and it's not fair that you're being treated like this. You deserve to feel safe and accepted, especially at home. It's okay to hurt, and it's okay to want an escape. Please know that we are all here for you, and you don’t have to face this alone. School is just around the corner, and I’m hoping it brings you the peace and space you need. Hang in there Sketch, you're stronger than you think.

I am SO sorry that you experienced that, lovely. Gosh... It must've hurt to feel so judged when you were just doing your best. Easy to make us feel like nothing we do is right and we're just inadequate. I'm sure your smile is lovely! Smiles are expressions of comfort, happiness and glee. So your smile will always be lovely, no matter what. To make someone smile on queue is just not fair. Lots of pony hugs your way, lovely. It's ok if you don't feel your best. You have friends here to listen who care.

Feeling... rainy.

Seen first signs of autumn today. Weather is stormy and leaves are getting yellower.

Well, it's time for Night in The Woods playlist ^•^

 

[Dreambiscuit 9,575]

A little tired, but in a comfortable worn-out sort of way. I’m taking a night away from painting so I can let the paint dry before resuming work on it. I’m spending my time fighting my laptop keyboard instead. It leaves out every second or third letter I type, so I have to constantly re-type and correct everything. It’s irritating but I’m too tired to care.

Oh wow, I didn’t expect to see this here! I remember playing Night In The Woods years ago. It had a nice little ambience.

The soundtrack is just as nice as I remember, and I also recall playing that RPG minigame. XD

It's nice to meet anyone, who appreciates this game ^з^ For me NITW is soundtrack of autumn and gives me strong Halloween vibe. Also this short and cozy game has some nice friendship lessons ^×^.

Likewise! It’s a nice and cozy little game. It feels like  autumn vibes, but the game came out in like the winter or spring of 2017, I think.
 

This and the “Over the Garden Wall” cartoon always give me autumn and Halloween vibes.
 

Speaking of which- it’s almost time for my annual rewatch of “Over the Garden Wall”!

Feeling pretty good actually, got a decent sleep for a change, and one more night of work to go.  Hope everyone else is doing okay, and that your day is going fairly well.

[Starlight Serenade 2,942]

Feeling unusually nervous. I've got more reading for my marketing course than I anticipated, and I have interviews lined up for the next two days.

I'm tired too @Dreambiscuit  The energy for Star Wars:  The Old Republic gaming took much out of me.  And I'm off the game so that a crafting mission can get finished  

[Usual Crypty 4,682]

I feel overexcited. 

The week was overwhelming emotion wise and my nervous system need some cooling down. Art is nice way to let the steam out. Maybe I should try yoga as well as gym isn't enough anymore. I'm glad that the weekend is ahead

Something wrong with that - take it to a repair shop maybe? I did once manage to buy a keyboard for an old laptop off eBay, 4 or 5 keys had just stopped working on the original.

That soiunds like my every room.

 

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 2,775]

I'm a little tired. I wanted to do some things today but I couldn't because I started listening to scary stories on YouTube and couldn't stop. The scary stories I listen to have interesting plots. I listened to them for 10 hours. I even got a headache but now it's gone. Scary stories are very interesting and sometimes it's hard to stop listening to them. But if you listen to a lot, it can ruin your mood. Now I don't feel bad but I don't feel good either.

[Bright Honor 2,654]

Feeling like I can’t win. It’s never enough.

Feeling I have fair energy to be here

Perhaps if you learn more and change the planning, you'll get the achievement.

Gaming can be the most exhausting pastime of all. I feel tired just thinking about it!

I've got a folding keyboard as a spare. but it's a pain. Better than nothing though. I lose 70% of everything I type now. getting worse by the day. I'll have it looked at next week. 

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 2,775]

Bad. I definitely need to go back to the city for a week and I don't want to go back. The holidays are over soon and I want to spend the rest of my time in the village, but I won't be able to do it. I'm upset.

[Solar Power 291]

Feeling kind of curious but also apprehensive I suppose. I'm about to start watching My Little Pony generation 3 for the first time and I don't know quite what to expect. I'm just hoping it's not terrible.

Maybe just a little frustrated 

When it comes to drawing It takes a lot of mental gymnastics so to speak to actually get started though even when I do I don't seem to stick to it for very long, I might attempt to draw a pony at best, I'm a bit unhappy with my current rate of practice being a few speratic scribbles per week especially since I've only seen minor improvements in my ability but not much improvement in consistency over a number of years.

I don't fully understand this friction I have with drawing, its a skill I want to develop but being bad at it and pushing though that is a struggle, and I often find myself seeking distraction from it in YouTube videos and such which definitely isn't helping.

Ooooo maaan, I understand you so much! There's couple trix to reduce the friction exist.

The fist advice is: stop trying your best! Simplify. Be swift. It's the case when quality is based on quantity.

The second: don't push yourself. You should have fun from the process! Otherwise you will end up procrastinating on Youtube.

The nice way to have a practice and double the fun is to join some challenges like this: https://mlpforums.com/topic/195464-huzzah-i-challenge-thee-crazy-pony

But remember, dirty daily doodles are better for practice than clean and perfect weekly paintings.

Feeling amped up with some energy, got grocery shopping.  

Hopes you'll get your folding keyboard fixed @Dreambiscuit

Feeling good after completing 5 miles outdoors earlier when the world was still asleep. It’s refreshing to walk and run, sometimes feeling like the only one around. Now, it's time to tackle a job assessment test and dive into multiple case studies for school.
