Admittedly, some of us may not have the best relationship with our parents. Some of us may have even gone no contact. Others may look back and see how their relationship with their parents has improved since they moved out.

Whatever your experience, it is completely valid. You probably also realize that it is outside of your control the way your parents show up in your life - just as it was outside of your control when you were a child. That's completely okay. Your boundaries are in your control, though. How you respond to their behavior is in your control. Your expectations are in your control.

You know what you went (or what you go) through. No one can tell you otherwise. It's okay to stick to what you know and move through your life accordingly.

The starting point

Good day, folks! First, this is a progress update post and second, productivity feels hecking weird when you’ve been mostly a procrastinator your whole life . . . Anyhow, I am having a lot of…

IN A FEW WORDS

Sometimes the hardest person to correct is yourself. There is no shame in being wrong. We are human and we make mistakes. The shame is in choosing to stay on the wrong path. Make that change, as difficult as you think it is. Take that first step; get back on track!

Oh, what a wonderful world it would be if black people in the hood actually thought that way. If... they didn't have a victim complex, didn't have a defeatist attitude, practiced self-accountability, didn't settle for the easy way out, thought outside the box, didn't make excuses, didn't idolize thugs, pimps, gangsters, and thieves, didn't live with their hands out for government support, possessed resiliency, didn't so easily become products and redistributors of abuse and trauma, didn't need leaders, asked questions, loved education, didn't fall for useless expired tropes like "brotherhood" and "sisterhood." GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK Didn't equate being "hood" with being "black," spoke with proper grammar, conducted themselves accordingly in public, embraced the free market instead of asking for higher wages, didn't automatically accept the traditions and lifestyles of their elders, reproduced children only when matured with other financially established prominent adults, made having kids with just one partner a standard and not a goal... adopted healthier lifestyles, wasn't afraid to be different or disrupt the status quo didn't attempt to blanket themselves with spirituality to avoid self-evaluation and responsibility, didn't act as a monolith for religious and political affiliation, sought psychological help over spiritual healing, didn't seek acceptance, and last but not least... didn't glamorize living in the fucking ghetto and instead made a short goal of leaving it. ...that would be a spectacular world. - Gio

This was a good weekend, and a sorely needed one. We went to a state legislative forum on Saturday to let the Republicans know we were angry about the evisceration of collective bargaining (and the Democrats know we appreciated their efforts to delay), and hundreds of other people who were angry about the same things were also there, which was weirdly empowering. I actually wrote and posted something, which has been a struggle lately, and I played a new computer game for the first time since last March (The Stanley Parable) and started another (Bioshock Infinite). (New here means that I haven’t played them before, not that they didn’t come out years ago.)

After a week that featured two close-to-breakdown evenings, it’s good to feel a sense of calm. Don’t know that it will last - the world still sucks - but I’ll take it while I can get it.

Also, I have a backlog of stuff I’ve been meaning to post about and failing to get around to, and I’d like to resolve that. So, mostly for my own accountability, here’s my plan for posting stuff this week:

Monday: Thoughts on The Stanley Parable (and maybe Bioshock Infinite so far)

Tuesday: Session summary for last weekend’s gaming session

Wednesday: Notes and pics from building Clio’s new computer

Thursday: Books I read over winter break (like I said, some of these have been pending for a while)

Friday: Speedy redux - how Speedy became best friends with a robot, and then everybody died

Don’t Be Fooled Into Thinking That You’re Not ‘Good Enough’ to Date

So, I was finally honest with my therapist about wanting a significant other - a fact that I have been fighting against and trying to run from ever since I first realized it was a desire. The thought alone caused me distress since I don't feel like I'm good enough or that I will be abandoned - (two issues I am working on in therapy) - and also because I have never dated before, mainly because of the two reasons above and because it was never a focus of mine.

Fighting against the desire also caused me great distress. Trying to push down a true desire of mine and not pursue it has really taken a toll on me. Then, there's also the thought of me never allowing myself to date and regretting it for the rest of my life. So much here to unpack, but the first thing that will have to go is the self-doubt.

Of course, no relationship is perfect and it takes time for most individuals to find a suitable partner. Even though I know that, I still have great anxiety surrounding allowing myself to date. However, I am continuing to work on myself and trying to get myself to a point where I will allow it to happen.
