Not quite, but you could always just buy a big enough yacht to sail straight toward happiness...

Sure thing.

Can I get a name change to vividskipper39 or maybe something else?

vividskipper39 works. Just reach out to Nice...🙂

Wait, aren't parrots just fancy cichlids?

It's cool and all, but then you realize those fish really belong out in the ocean somewhere...

Yeah, I'm not gonna be stingy over a couple of bucks...

Paul Bennett3 said:In my view, the most important thing is just showing up. I’m not really into that whole "win at all costs" hype... To me, it matters more to be among the top tier, somewhere between the middle and the top, or even just being decent, rather than obsessing over victory. I think a lot of frustration stems from that mindset alone...

Going to extremes is never the move in the long run. That constant need to be #1 usually masks deep frustrations—unless you can actually handle the fact that losing is part of the game. If you can do that, failure becomes fuel to keep pushing.
But once those setbacks start eating at you and the frustration takes over, you just end up becoming a worse version of yourself...

I mean, everyone’s different. For some people, swearing is just their whole vocabulary because they grew up without much, while others use it just to add emphasis... then there are those who are just plain unrefined.

And using sexual innuendo or being extra suggestive during a conversation can mean a million things. You really have to get to know someone first to figure out what they're actually getting at or if there's something deeper bothering them...

As long as you’ve got that one thing holding you together, it doesn't really matter what you do or what your hobbies are when you're apart—unless, you know, he's out there dealing drugs and you're strictly against that kind of lifestyle... just kidding...

Why didn't I make it work? Honestly, I just wasn't feeling it enough to keep going...

I used to be super obsessed with the whole idea of "reprogramming my subconscious" through affirmations, but I could never actually get myself to stick with it...
