Love my kids, love my wife. Feel useful at work. Getting rdy for the final stretch of my undergrad. Life is a grind atm and I don't have a lot of free time, but I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

My family. I feel really good that I can trust and rely on my parents, that I can talk to my brother, that I have my grandma close and still healthy. It's a privilege to be related to these people, to be honest.

Playing X4, despite the crashes.

But to be really honest, giving drawing lessons to 9-11yo kids. Something I never considered doing in my life, but damn does it make me feel good, though the kids' progress (or lack thereof) often leaves me wondering if I'm actually being any good

That sounds like rewarding work. I feel like even if they're not progressing that fast, just having a positive role model in their life is probably really meaningful

Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.

This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.

As a never nude I commend your bravery and I hope you enjoy it to the full extent of the law

I don't wanna reveal too much personal info but things have been going so well for me for a while now! So I'd say this current one ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I'd say the past two years have been the happiest ones of my entire life

Had a friend like that in 09 who went for a motorcycle ride and died. Left a wife and newborn behind.

Ride the happiness, not motorcycles. And if you do, don't crash. #1 rule: don't crash.

My condolences to your friend and those affected. Motorcycles (along with helicopters) honestly freak me out which is why I'd avoid riding on either
