I download all of my music locally, so who's mostly in my playlist I'd consider metal are, from order of most to least prevalent: Architects, Beartooth, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace, Saint Asonia, Bring me the Horizon, Black Veil Brides, Nothing More, motionless in white.

I'm sure I'm missing some!

Agreed! More people could likely realize this.

None of that. Just reflection and time!

Well, if it's music and it exists, I'll listen to it! I definitely have certain categories I listen to more so than others, but I generally like all music. I'd say my top genres are metal/heavy metal and rap. I was a drummer for many years though, so maybe that influenced that!

In a way, I really don't feel I need to. I'm fully aware and understanding that more bad times are certainly to come, for me and people around me. But I truly can't think of anything that could possibly happen that would be as bad as what I've already gone through. As naive as that may come off as, I really do think I've gone through the worst parts of my life already, and although I'm certain I'll experience grief in my future - I don't think it will compare and I think I'm already prepared to cope with that. Until then and always, I'll just keep it pushing!

hmm. Definitely not my recipe - but the best soup I've ever had was at a restaurant somewhere in Saint Lucia. Callaloo soup! It's like coconut milk, callaloo leaves and some type of seafood meat (Think i had crab and scallops in it).

I've mostly grown up with dogs, but both. Both is good :)

For me, I think it's just a distinction I've made in my mind. The world is not bad, it is wonderful and beautiful, but the people on it are bad. Specific people consistently too will always be there to ruin it and progressively destroy it around those who simply wish to live peacefully. Its not that I've no care in the world or ignore issues as they pertain to me policitally, but I do everything in my power to push things towards what I believe is right, and I separate and acknowledge the things I cannot do anything about. We as people can only do so much and if you do anything towards what you truly believe in? I think thats better than most. In the interim, it's about putting those things to the side and living in the present moment, saving the introspection and political concerns for another time.

It was really more of a gradual change, that only this year truly have I become to consciously appreciate and understand what it is I have. I'd say it happened after getting close with colleagues I work with at my not-so-new-anymore job, learning how much in common we really have and having some perspective brought on me by all the people I've met and spoken with through the years. Friends, romantics, and even the things I've learned from enemies and similar experiences.. All of that added together has made me the best version of myself I've ever been and I only strive to improve that further.

Glad to hear of your advancements as well :)

Something that I've started to look back on just a few years ago is being able to go to many places around the world as a child. My parents were almost always able to take a vacation for ~ 2 weeks a year. We'd almost always go a new place, I've been to several islands and across new countries. I've been on ultra long road trips and plane rides. As that started to die off, going through my life and all the way to now - totally moved out and adulting on my own like everyone else - I really start to appreciate those memories. And i have so very many pictures of those memeries and of the places ive been able to see.

Anyway, to the important question: pineapple complements specifically a sweeter sauce. I'm into it!

Everything is awesome!

In love with your font!
