What's Bothering You?

I’ve been a bit down lately and still am bothered by a few things that have been troubling me for a few months at least. Can’t really talk about it though. I’m feeling conflicted about how I feel on one of the things.

So far I haven’t been triggered by the mention of valentine’s day much, but tomorrow I have to go grocery shopping (today there was a change in plans) and I’m dreading it partly because of all the valentine stuff. I never liked the “holiday” but the last few years around this time has been really difficult because of something that has been hurting me.

I feel bad I haven’t finished a drawing yet and been able to give something in return to everyone that has given me a drawing. I think I might be in a sort of art block while also my focus being away from art hasn’t helped either. I really feel bad since I’m still incredibly grateful and touched by the thought and kindness behind each of them. If there is an art portion to the upcoming events, I’m worried about participating as silly as that sounds since I should be prioritizing the first drawing I started after Christmas. I do think though if there is an art portion, it might help push me back into the art mode, if I participate 🤔.

Overall, I’ve been okay and not bad; doing better enough to post again a bit and a bit better in some ways being back here.
 
Is it an official summon? There's still a chance you could get lucky and not have to go. They don't always need everyone. I got a letter twice I think and they never needed me both times.
I don't think so actually. The letter just says I have to fill out the questionnaire online before a certain date. I hope I get lucky like you did! It seems like I get a letter every year and it's annoying 😑
 
I feel weird for saying this, but I feel kinda bad for 2 term presidents. If you get reelected, it'll be your last ever presidential term because of the whole "2 term policy" thing. Because of this rule, presidents such as Clinton, Dubya, and Obama can't run for anymore terms. 1 term presidents still have a chance of running for reelection (unless if they don't want to). And just to clarify, I don't condone any of the bad things any of these presidents have done during their terms in office.

As of writing this post, Joe Biden is the only living 1 term president: Trump won a 2nd non-consecutive term and Jimmy Carter died. He was running for reelection in the 2024 election, but he ended up dropping out of the race in July. I highly doubt if Joe Biden will ever run for reelection again, and it'll be a miracle if he lives to see the next presidential election (he'll be 86 in 2028).

Tbf, if there were no term limits, I think politics would be more crazy and heated than they already are. But yeah, there is a chance that one person could sit in office for a really long time if there were no term limits. While some may celebrate that, others wouldn't. Depends on your personal views and who keeps sitting in the chair. I think a lack of term limits for president would split the nation. I don't know if that is a bad or good thing. Maybe it is just how things naturally would go when you go from term limits to none. Idk. I don't want to see more craziness and heat than we already see. And I think fraud would be more likely with no limits.
 
Been having a lot of on-and-off anxiety that I am pretty sure is tied to a physical issue, and I'm currently wishing that I could fast-forward time so that I could hurry up and get to my appointment on Monday in hopes that I can figure out what's wrong. My anxiety very suddenly shot up at the very start of the year, same time as I started feeling physically worse, and I want so badly to feel better so that I can get back to my usual activities.
 
I’m feeling conflicted about things I think it’s best not to bring up here. It’s just hard to change your opinion on things when you’ve been negatively affected by that thing.

It’s conflicting because I feel like some people see me differently because of it. I feel like a good person in some ways, but there’s a side of me that I’m forced to keep inside.
