I get that. I only got one tattoo in the US. I got all of the other ones in Canada because I found artists there who charged by the hour instead of by the design. And they did a wondrous job for the simpler tattoos I wanted and even one complex one.
If you're getting a simpler design, I'd...
I also want to get tattoos based off other things I love and starting off with a simple one that shows off something you love is a brilliant idea. My first tattoo was a Lion King one. :P
I'm a bit biased because I already have five tattoos lol. But I've been wanting to save up for this back tattoo idea I came up with a few years ago. I want to see my first tattoo artist for it because his tattoo on my shoulder still looks like I got it done this year (I got it back in 2014)...
Halloween used to be my all-time favorite holiday, but a shitty ex kinda ruined it for me since his birthday is on Halloween. -.- It’s still easily my second favorite time of the year for aesthetics alone and the fun of cosplays being more acceptable in society for the time being. XD
Christmas...
Oof, yeah, my parents are the same way. They think you only go to doctors after you're sick or hurt. facepalm I suppose it's always possible my parents are worse off than they seem. They take a ton of supplements and just lean heavily on preventative methods. Which is funny when they acted like...
Hahaha, I'm only 25 and have more health problems than my parents, who are in their 50s. XD I got hit hard by two issues this year alone (it is 2020, after all).
Heh, it be like that sometimes. I'm pretty confident I have some form of arthritis in my body, but would need to get specific bloodwork done for it to be diagnosed. Quite a headache to try and figure out everything wrong with your body tbh.
Oh yeah, I took advantage of prime healthcare with the military earlier this year and figured out quite a few new problems with my body in the meantime. I’ll have that prime healthcare again soon and intend to get my lungs looked at more closely to see the extent of damage from my bouts with...
Yup, I had an online company build it for me, too. I intend to make this computer last for years to come. It's so worth it to save up the money for the more expensive options out there.
Exactly. Sadly, I'm back to barely making any money after the ankle surgery that got me off my active duty...
XD
I finally bought a gaming PC that I've wanted for nearly 9 years. I was making bank while activated in the National Guard this year and saved the money for it. My parents would weep if they knew how much it cost me. (a little over $2k lol).
Hahaha, my 50-year-old parents love to remind me that I should basically not be making any frivolous purchases until I'm in my 30s, if that. I got chided for deciding to get a $3 coffee instead of drinking the free coffee at a hotel that tasted like absolute shit.
I mean...military doctors are just absolute shit to be frank lol. I tried to establish a primary care manager on-base earlier this year because I've had pneumonia three times in my life already and I worry my lungs are damaged from it all (each case lasted at least a whole month). The idiot PCM...
Haha, yup. I feel that. I only finally starting seeing docs this year because I was briefly active duty for the National Guard in response to the pandemic in my state. Active duty means healthcare that basically covers everything. Buuut, I wasn't able to schedule the ankle surgery until after I...
Hahaha, I stayed in a hospital for a week to save my life and am waiting for my two health insurances to cover as much as they can before I heft the remaining bill. It was around $10k before I submitted the claims. :D
Not to mention the minor ankle surgery I needed two months ago, which was...
Exactly. I hate the mentality of "if I struggled, then you should as well so you can learn from it". Like, just tell me what you learned from your struggles and let's move on to where I get a better life from that knowledge you obtained in your youth. There is absolutely nothing keeping my...
Yeah, it's why I try not to complain too much about my situation since they've still been very supportive despite pushing for us to get out of the house. I think they worry if they "coddle" us by letting us stay any longer than college years that we'll be unprepared for real life when we do...
I wish my parents supported the notion of staying with them until I could financially support myself...they have the idea that since they struggled when they first moved out at a young age, then we all have to go through the same thing and learn from it. Like, the idea of "we had to deal with...
I personally still occasionally spend a weekend or so at home with my parents depending on the situation. I do have my own apartment and my guinea pigs aren't allowed at my parents' place, so I have to plan to drive back to my apartment each day I'm away to care for them or pay a pet sitter to...
Like the title itself says, this can be so difficult to keep up with. XD One of my little sisters seems to have no issue keeping up with her own journaling, which she says is really just her venting on paper lol. I feel that.
Anyways, since the holidays are rolling in now, I figured I'd write...
