The 2am thread

Things that are good right now:
- I met a very good and sweet guy on Tinder and we're going to meet up for a date next week. He lives in Cincinnati, which is a bit of a drive but I'm doing anything important that day anyway so it's all good. This'll be my first time going on a date with someone that I met online, or with a guy, or actually with anyone at all for about the last couple of years, so I'm excited to finally get back out there.
- I went to the gym six times last week, which is honestly more than I really wanted to in the first place, but at least my friend is forcing me to be consistent and keeping me company every day. It's only been a couple months since I started going regularly, but it's made a super noticeable difference already.
- I played badminton at a local park with my friend and his girlfriend today and we were all very bad at it, but I was somehow the least bad despite being the only person there who hadn't ever played before??? Since when did I get adequate at sports???


Things that are bad right now:
- Before we went to the gym today my friend dragged me along to do some errands with him and the errand involved standing around in the alleyway of an unfamiliar neighborhood for about 20 minutes while listening to some of his distant friends make jokes where most of the punchlines were either about gay people or restrooms at target, and I could have maybe said something but instead I just stood there and prayed for death.
- I've been super not feeling it at all in general these last few days, but on the other hand, having to leave the house and do something productive every day has been doing wonders for helping me break out of these depressive spirals before they ever really start.


So things are pretty good for the most part actually. I'm doing good.
