As I was in the middle of learning British history, moving to the United States in the 5th grade made me miss learning early American history. So forgive me for knowing fuck all about the American Civil War. So you can't remember your passwords, spell, or know about one of the most important historical points in the country you live in. That's okay. Some of us are bad at math. HAHAHAHAHA 🤣

Want to thank everybody for the messages, of course. This is an excellent community of excellent people and your messages did honestly get through to me just that little bit. I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here, so bear with me: my heart got broken this week. Utterly ripped apart. A year of love and hope that I trusted to let into every inch of my heart was torn out without even a conversation. And I'm right where I was two years ago only this time with another horrific experience etched onto my life. But what it's taught me is that you have to have your first and foremost love coming from within. For the first twenty years of my life I've got all my love from others. Family, friends, women, I needed them to adore me because I had no adoration for myself. And at times like this when that love gets pulled away, in such a cruel fashion, you realise where you're going wrong. I'm gonna love myself, but I'm gonna earn it. I'm gonna sleep eight hours a day and write every single day and read every single day and I'm gonna eat healthy and exercise until I can't help but be proud of myself and love myself. And I'm gonna keep that love there with my own actions and anyone adding to it will just be a bonus. No-one will be able to take it away except myself. I'm gonna be kind and I'm gonna forgive myself and I'm gonna forgive life and forgive everyone who has hurt me. I'm gonna build a little tap of love inside myself so I don't need to draw from anyone else if I don't want to. I'd like to thank the Coldplay song "O" for helping me with all this. I'd like to thank everyone here and I'd especially like to thank the Scottish comedian Limmy for helping me laugh last night with this amazing piece of advice: People tell you to get help and they say they're all there for you, but sometimes that just doesn't fucking cut through. So I'll tell you what. If you feel like giving up, stick around. Stick around, to see what Simon Cowell's face looks like ten years from now. Cheers.One hundred days later, an update: I have indeed been sleeping eight hours a night. I've also been going for regular jogs that will tomorrow turn into the first training for a 5K run. Since this post, I've lost twenty-one pounds and am now at a healthy weight. I've bought some weights and a pull-up frame too, because I want to get stronger while I cut. I have also lived up to my promise of writing every day; I've finished loads of first drafts for new poems and short stories, as well as making notes for a telly show idea. And I've been reading every day, too - always one fiction and one-non fiction book at a time, which in the last hundred days has encompassed everything from football tactics and Nordic folklore to Alan Partridge and Hemingway. I know it's been one hundred days, by the way, because I've been learning Spanish and today got a little badge for practicing one hundred days in a row (necesito un amigo simpatico hablar espanol conmigo, por cierto). I got some nice clothes for Christmas, too. Oh, and I started learning the piano:

I’m glad Taylor was feeling 22, because nobody likes you when you’re 23.

I used to despise the placebo effect - you’re not going to dupe me into feeling better.
I only duped myself into feeling worse.

That new wildlife series on Channel 4 Secert Safrai is good but it can be really sad at times and nature can be so cruel. But those rangers who look out for the animals do such an excellent job. If I did that I would just get too attached to all of the animals, I wouldn't be able to help myself. But you can't afford to get too attached to them as they are wild animals after all. 🐒🦓🐆🦒🦉🦆🐫🐼🐾

Pornichet thankfully canned, Eagle Farm take note.
Edit: There is only one GOAT for me, sorry Tom Brady it isn't you.

I read online that in New Zealand a rare sea lion and her pup have taken up residence in a golf course and are crossing the road regularly to get to the beach. So the authorities have closed the road down so that the sea lion and her pup can use it safely while they're in the area. It's a nice story for a change instead of cruelty all of the time. However, sadly this species of sea lion is sadly endangered though. 🐳🐬🐋🦈🐟🐠🐡

I had a busy afternoon today as I've been sorting out my store room and having a bit of a clear out. I've still got a little bit more to do which I'll do another day when I'm not doing anything else. I had enough today so I didn't do anymore.

If you want to not say you quit on Facebook, always check the tone of post. Christophe Gallier just found out the hard way. Whoops.

I've gotten used to people calling me the equivalent of Mrs/lady/madam but I've never felt so old as this afternoon when a 13 year old asked me if I know what TikTok is

Let me guess, the Victorian lockdown protest group tonight is the same one who doesn't know the meaning of John Farnham's You're the voice? Pisses me off as I know someone who is at risk.
Edit: Canberra Cavs proving a point. ABL championship 2020/21*

I read on the BBC news pages earlier that in some parts of England they're going to bring back beavers which can only be a good thing. I know that they were reintroduced in some parts of the UK but this is a completely different project and I hope that it will be a big success. 🐾🐐🦓🐂🦁🐆🦊🐗🦒

I'm all for younger generations (mine included) bringing awareness to social injustice, minorities and the whole discourse about sex, gender and race, but it is a bit odd when you see people banging about it while they don't know how the basics of their own political system work Some of these people need a proper reality check, and I think the matters they wanna discuss will benefit from it as well

I'm all for translation, but having been told Argentina instead of Argentan on Facebook was snowed under made no sense.
Edit: Prix De France numbers: Boxed 9 8 2 4 Any of those 4 can win. Tough to pick.

I hate Saran Wrap. I hate Scotch Tape. I hate universal Right Handed Scissors.
You do not want to see me frustrated.
Oh yeah, and IKEA, fuck that.

Sometimes I wish that everyone loved animals like I do as the world would be a much better place. But sadly it doesn't work like that as there's too many people who just don't care. But I will never give up fighting for animals. 🦓🦒🦆🐧🦉🦏🐫🐬🦈
