    I’ve felt myself descending into a pit lately where I’m easily discouraged, frustrated, impatient, and unhappy with my situation. I’m going to start exercising gratitude, like actually exercising it so it grows, by making a list of five things every morning that I’m thankful for. With detail. Why I’m thankful, how it helps me or makes me better.

    That is a great attitude

    some of my friends have a gratitude list via email in the morning.

    I just saw an article about the newest live-action Dumbo trailer and all I did was see a screencap of a CGI Dumbo with clown makeup and he looked so sad and I came this close to crying.

    I *kitten* hate that movie, it wrecks me. There's no chance in hell I will be able to watch it

    I've never actually watched it does he die in the end or something

    No I don't think so...

    But I believe in the real grimms fairy-tales, a lot of these characters really do die

    First significant snowfall of the season and it appears everyone forgot how to drive again.

    Every damn year

    Right!!
    Every year...every first significant snow fall.

    Had some a-hole turn out in front of me, crossing 3 lanes at once tonight—in the dark—with no warning on a road with 70 km (~45 mph) speed limit...
    ...thought "I may die now"

    And for the record, I'm the a-hole who still doesn't have my winter tires on...had a few touchy moments on my drive home, sliding and loss of traction is an awful feeling.

    Due to space Thanksgiving dinner will be at my ex's.
    I will be cooking the meal alone.
    What was I thinking?
    15 people, this is the year everyone decided to come to OK, geez.
    I'm trying to convince myself that I've got this, I used to do it alone surely I can still manage it.
    IDK.

    if youre around people who expect u to be funny or cool all the *kitten* time youre not even living your just doing performance art

    If you even notice they want you to funny or cool than you are willingly performing.....

    i dont know what your on about, but i see friends prop themselves up and the people around them acting like an audience and it seems pretty common, like the people who make u laugh are pretty sad

    and its worse for guys because women say they want to hear how guys feel but then they treat them like suckers if they cop to being sad or hurt emotionally

    that’s on my mind rn

    🙈🙊🙉... Omg, they doo?

    Are you cooking at your home or his? I would only do it if I had multiple burners and double convection ovens. Maybe even a grill/smoker too.

    It's going to be great. 🙌

    I'll be cooking at his house, used to be my house too so I'm comfortable there.
    Nice 6 burner gas cooktop, 2 big ovens,
    all the conveniences and I'll need them, lol.

    A lot of comedians live dark lives. They willingly perform, but it takes its toll. Its the same with regular people.....if you are expected to be "on" all the time....yeah, it takes its toll. My point was, the less you can notice the expectations of others, the lighter your load.

    Very true.

    And Robin Williams....he made so many people laugh and feel joy. Yet he battled a lot in his own mind and ended up taking his life. :heartbreak:
