HI THERE

I am Sam, an Aussie, recovered (as much as I can be I guess, more living with) from mental illnesses. And since they are not life consuming anymore, this is less of a recovery blog and more of a general positivity, health, funny posts, and social...

SNL did that™

Okay, yes. Yes. YES.

This has come back with a SPICY bite

[samlikeswinter]

Back again!

I have been getting piercings lately since I am taking a break (for financial reasons) from BJJ.

I have a pair of lobe piercings, a helix on one ear, and a snug and forward helix on the other ear!

Does anyone know an online shop that is trusty and sells 14k Gold earrings for these piercings? I have sensitive skin and need good metals :)

I don’t know if my followers are still active, I have been inactive for a couple of years really!

Letting you guys know I am happy, engaged, paused university at the moment so I can look for full time work and trying hard to become more physically fit and healthy!

I’m not overweight at the moment, I am the heaviest I have ever been though haha. 72kg at 160cm tall, still somewhat healthy but had some problem with over eating over the past year. I only aim to be in the range of 62-65kg, mostly for competition. I was that weight little over a year ago but uni screwed with my motivation and health.

Without uni at the moment, and very little work, I have most of the day to exercise and eat well. Constantly trying to figure out how to be healthy and productive!

Hello!

How is everyone doing? :) 

[samlikeswinter]

My “Summer holiday” was only 3 weeks out of my 3.5 months off from uni because of a Summer scholarship and now a Summer Maths course and then BACK to the scholarship and then the first semester will be starting.

Hate and love being busy.

[samlikeswinter]

Loving some of my maths lectures, but this one stands out as pretty damn funny.

The lecturer describing a method that “may be illegal” (in maths) “don’t do this in front of mathematicians” “If you do it quick enough no one will notice” “to be done secretly.” Included some of these quotes in my notes.

Top notch lecture 12/10.

Let’s encourage #SelfImprovement ✨💕👏

Forgiveness is not saying “what you did to me was okay”

It’s saying “I’m not going to let what you did to me ruin my happiness forever”

[here-be-fangirls]

highly intelligent children are still children, children who look older than they are are still children, children who act older than they are are still children, children who want to be older than they are are still children, children who have been through a lot are still children

and all children should be treated in a respectful way that acknowledges their personhood, but that doesn’t mean treating them as though they are adults.

hmmm

begging won’t save you

In addition to my update :D

[samlikeswinter]

Haven’t been online in a long time.

It’s the short mid semester holiday at uni now and I have some free time so here is an UPDATE!

This year I:

Am still with the same boyfriend as last year, still growing together.

Have started my degree in mechanical engineering, failed a couple of subjects but still love it and am just figuring out how best to study and what work load works for me.

Am working the same 2 jobs I was last year, not as many shifts because uni.

Still super into BJJ (Brazalian Jiu Jitsu) and about to get my second strip (delayed a bit because uni but next grading is soon!).

Got a $2000 scholarship to go into starting to learn to fly gliders (sail planes)!!! It is crazy and awesome!

Not everything is perfect but I am positive and enjoying life :D

Also, randomly got my drone licence for free this year! Including an Aeronautical Radio Operators Certificate :D.

I am always crazy busy between uni, work, BJJ, flying and my boyfriend so I don’t have much time for the internet but here I am haha.

I hope all my mental health friends on here are doing okay and improving at whatever pace, I think about you guys still.

Things You Forgot You Used To Do

[cyrilslady]

I mean I certainly remember getting yelled at for not going back to turn off the computer once it was finally done shutting down.

Why haven’t I seen those “mainstream feminist” websites promoting this? Since, you know, they’re about “all women”

The NFL has made it official that they will now recognize same sex couples on their kiss cam so that everybody can celebrate love

The NFL showcased its first same-sex couple in a kiss cam last year. And in an ad for Love Has No Labels, a campaign created in partnership with the Ad Council and R/GA, it announced its efforts to zoom in on a greater variety of people.

WATCH THE AD
