I also dropped out very early. Struggled with that disappointment for a long time. Moved in with my SO’s parents and lived with them for years!

We moved out and got a rental when I was 25. I’m 29 now and working on my career in banking. Started exercising the last couple years and have been keeping up with it consistently. I feel like it was only in the last few years that I felt I was making progress but really needed some optimism to keep going. You just never know what’s going to change your life around. Try to improve yourself in any way you can and sometimes that can help you change your trajectory

50 times? I’m at about 500 with my current favorite song and with every play I fear the day that it won’t make me feel anything 😭

Siri has had attitude lately.

My SO asked her to start a timer and she wasn’t listening so he said, “Wow” and she responded in a very sarcastic tone, “Wow, wow, wow…” 🙄

I used to kinda enjoy using Siri but in the past year or two she got really bad. She raises the volume of music when I ask her to lower it and occasionally she will not stop playing when I ask her to stop

I was on the right track but no way I would’ve guessed it!

Absolutely! It doesn’t matter how small you start.

I work a desk job and told myself I needed to exercise otherwise I would continue having back/health problems. I started with a 1-2 minute workout every day just so I could get in the habit. And if I didn’t feel like doing even that, I would at least do a few push ups or squats. Once I got used to taking that time every day I saw myself taking 5 minutes. Then 10, 20, 30… Now I commit to a 75-90 minute workout about 5 times a week. And I never thought it would get to that point but I started to enjoy it and look forward to that time every day!

I could’ve sworn I heard of a Hannah Montana-type show/character years before the show came out…

And then the guilt when they ask how (blank) is coming along…

I wish! My job is too fragmented that it makes it hard to get in a flow

Me when I have to make calls at work 😭

lol I’m the same way. It’s my comfort object. If I leave the house without it I can feel my mouth get dry and throat close up immediately

Monterey Jack cheese or pepper jack.

I’ve always heard that but also been told to wait for some time after eating before brushing to not hurt your enamel? Not sure how true that is

I just started Dave the Diver on the switch and I’m hooked!

Yes, same thing would happen to me! It was a risk trying to stretch it out because if it works the pain would go away but if it didn’t pop, then the pain would be worse than when I started. Sorry you’re still going through it. My doctor recommended NSAIDs for the pain but they didn’t help me too much. Eventually the problem went away and I luckily haven’t had it come back

I used to have costochondritis which was an inflammation of the cartilage in my sternum. It would feel like a pressure on my chest that wouldn’t be relieved until I bent backwards to stretch and “pop” my chest. So occasionally friends and family would see me stretching and wonder wtf I was doing

Those Music updates were a long time coming!

Sounds similar to deja reve which is when you feel like you’ve previously dreamt what is currently happening

My pattern is I’ll find something new that I want and I’ll order it, but before it arrives I’ll research absolutely everything about it—specs, reviews, unboxing videos—that I’ll squeeze every drop of joy out of the purchase before I even have it…
