Those 7 years weren’t easy but they were so worth it
My sleep is better, I’m saving so much money (well… in theory lol), and my CPTSD is easier to deal with

Couldn’t agree more
That doesn’t mean it’s easy to NOT let that trauma turn me into a bitter monster. In fact for a time during the thick of it, I was. Which was also the time when I was struggling BAD with addiction (7 years sober now, it’s the longest I’ve ever been sober). It’s a stretch of time where I deeply regret the person I was.
I’d say the biggest thing that helps me win and be a better person is framing who I am now in a specific way in my mind. If I let all that trauma turn me into a bitter monster, than that means that the monsters that defined the first 24 years of my life continue to have power over me. So basically I go “Fuck you! You won’t turn me into a fucking monster! I’m going be the kind of person none of y’all ever were to me! I’m gonna be kind! I’m gonna be helpful! I’m gonna be the kind of person people are happy and PROUD to know! I’m gonna leave a POSITIVE impact on the lives of people I interact with!”
My sister has the same outlook as me, which brings me joy. She also had awful trauma continue into her 20s.
My brother, not so much though. At least my niece and nephew have my sister and I to interact with often (mostly my sister, my brother doesn’t talk to me very often for reasons I’m not gonna go into) so they’re becoming the kind of people that we’d love for them to be. Being the candle in the dark for them gives them a guiding light so that they have some good to look to.

There’s literally a running joke where I work called the “Union Shit”. You run to the bathroom to take a 15 - 20 minute shit between your breaks.
Whether or not you’re actually shitting or just shitposting is between you and those walls lol

The gif is made from a Low Buck Garage video where he’s working on his WW2 era 6x6 truck. The part he’s staring at is the hole where the axle slots through the tire and into the differential.
This clip is taken shortly after he attempts to put the rear axle back in and he discovers that the gears in the rear most differential are no longer aligned with the hole, he shortly after this clip describes the process for what it takes to get into the rear most differential and it’s an ordeal.
He does come up with a plan though.
If you’re into vehicle restoration videos he’s got a great channel. He’s also got a great sense of humor about the stuff he works on and the processes involved.

Kepler-452b was having a private conversation with Australia when the photographer snuck up and got the candid photo.
Unfortunately Kepler-452b was embarrassed by having the intimate moment interrupted and left in a hurry.
Though their conversation was pleasant, the photographer ruined the mood and numbers were not exchanged.

As long as you’re venting it sufficiently you should be good
My setup can change the air in my apartment about 6 times per hour
But mine also runs double duty during the summer time (lease says no AC so it get HOT during the summer) to help cool it down after dark.

Also having a 3D printer. They typically belch a lot of particulates into the air while printing not to mention depending on the kind of hot end you have it can basically be the equivalent of burning a nonstick pan every time you print.

The more I learn about local flora and fauna the more this hurts
I recently found a berry bush while on a trail of a kind of berry I hadn’t seen in years
It was bitter sweet
