[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

[21308]

Ugh I'm bored. I basically had to be in bed all day because back stuff.

[Akayaofthemoon]

Oh I'm sorry :( back stuff is never good

[21308]

Yeah, it's just one more item in the cycle of crap I've been going through. I've decided that once my back heals I'm going for a run no matter what. Even if it's under 10 degrees outside, sitting in my room all the time has done nothing to help my depression.

@21308

Fresh air and sun light will do you some good. I know what it is like to just be in your room all the time and I have felt so much better just getting out and about. Even if it is just sitting outside for a bit.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Yeah. Although sadly there still isn't a whole lot of sunlight to speak about where I am. I definitely need some though, and being outdoors is sure to help me too. These past couple of weeks have just been really tough on me. I really want to fight my way out of this but I've found it hard not to get discouraged. It's hard because I'm always thinking about how I'm this old and I've still accomplished this little with my life, and the degree I need is probably going to take longer to get than I originally expected.

@21308

You are doing your best and at least working towards your dreams. I am older than you and have accomplished much less. I know what you are feeling. I beat myself up about it sometimes but you just need to look at all the things you have done. Try to see how amazing it is that you have come this far and don't worry so much as to where you are going. Take it one day at a time for awhile. Tell yourself what you are going to do that day and work to do everything on that list for yourself. Write down five things you are thankful for each day. Just fill your life with as many positives as you can and you will see a difference with the combo of all that and going out more.

I promise it gets better.

You are amazing. You are not old. You have the world ahead of you. You have worked hard and done more than you realize. Give yourself a break because you are being more harsh on yourself than you deserve. I do the same thing to myself so I understand but sometimes you need someone to tell you that you are wonderful. That someone is proud of you.

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon I don't know about you being older than me but thanks. I have been through some difficult experiences but I have so little to show for it. I guess you could say that the losses I've been through have made me stronger but I really, really don't feel very strong right now. I really appreciate the encouragement and I'll try to listen to it, it means a whole lot that you want to make me feel better and I think you're a great friend. I'll take your advice about planning out what I'm going to do for a day too, hopefully that will be easier once I'm not in so much pain.

Okay, so I've a question that has been my main reason for not posting. . . how do we go about this Larimar thing? Also, I'll try to post a bit more, and I'm still shaky on reggie's current positioning, and whether or not me and Haruki should finish the collab. After so long, i've kinda lost interest in playing it out and would rather show it through Reggie's mood.

[Akayaofthemoon]

@Raijinslayer

I am open to continuing with Larimar to the town or if splitting is easier for you than that would be fun as well.

I would love to see more of Reggie again but whatever you had planned with Haruki needs to be discussed with them of course ^_^

[Loony]

I feel like I should lie down and cry.

No reason in particular.

But damn I'm too tired to embarrass myself more with this shit.

How's everyone?

[21308]

@Loony Don't feel bad Loon, I know as well as anyone right now that there isn't always a reason for it.

I have a thing due for my online class tonight. I'm going to spend the next couple of hours reading the "lectures" and then shamelessly cheat by using the textbook :P. I guess it isn't really cheating though, you'd kind of have to expect every exam to be open-book when your only contact with students is online.

[Loony]

@21308 I just liked because I

Don't know how to words right now.

[21308]

@Loony -hugs- It's okay small loon you don't have to use words if you don't want.

[Saarebas]

Hey guys I should have a post up tomorrow, Ihave been busy with my online/real classes the past few days to sit down and write up a post

[21308]

@Saarebas That's cool Saare, things aren't about to move super fast anyway.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Raijinslayer

I am open to continuing with Larimar to the town or if splitting is easier for you than that would be fun as well.

@Akayaofthemoon

I had been thinking of Candice's reaction to the corrupted gem heading towards the town (she would definitely try to get to town and help out)...XD

[21308]

@Akayaofthemoon Hey Akaya me and Loony have agreed to do a titanpad when it's time to do the Gypsum post, would you be willing to join in and control the gem monster?

[Akayaofthemoon]

@21308

It would have to be tomorrow but yes, I can control the gem monster for you guys ^-^

[Raijinslayer]

@AkayaofthemoonI think splitting would be easier at the moment(and make more sense now that things have calmed a little), so if you could do that next time you post as well as the monster, it'd be awesome.
