Keeping my head up

I know how to do positive thinking, and affirmations and use mantras but when someone or something is so acidic it suddenly means nothing. Normally, it’s only someone close that can penetrate your heart so easily.

So what next?

Close off all emotional channels? Avoid any emotional contact.

Or head into pure escapism with HellDivers 2?

Finally, the sequel is out and I’m already 12 hours in at level 8. I’m with a regular squad but will probably need to add more to my friends list as my game time is badly restricted due to homegrown complaints.

Currently, PS5 is offline in on-site storage but hoping to get back on in 10 days.

Moving fast

There does come a time when you need to make like a tree and “leaf”. Yeah I know, terrible old joke but pretty true for me right now.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. I want to go fast.”

Day 2 of 5 | PS4 Offline

For no specific reason, I’m taking a gaming vacation.

Well, actually, I’m still watching my regularly streamers especially as Star Wars Battlefront 2.  Most gamers are just streaming the multiplayer, I hear that the single player is just 8 hours.

Consequences schmonsequences, as long as I’m Rich!!!

Massive work-life conflict is on the rampage with me, even eating an Apple is complicated nowadays.  I really wish my actions would not have such deep long lasting impact all the time.  It’s like I can’t afford to make a single strategic error in work or play.

Holidays are hard work
Work is hard work
Love is hard work

Working long hours hardly makes me better it just gives me more alone time.

So in under 15 years, I’ll be retired…but what does that look like?

Too young to retire, too old to start again

Will I have to depend on someone to care for me physically and financially?
