Leveling Up
I did another V2!
That's exciting! You're leveling up!
Like a pokemon?
Yeah, like a pokemon
When I climb, I don't really care about trying to puzzle out the solution before I get on the wall. If I flash something, that means it was probably too easy for me. I feel the most accomplished when I finally top a climb that I was struggling on.
Like when I'm finally able to get through a climb that used to feel impossible just to do the first move
Or a climb that felt impossible to top
Or a climb that I saw so many people do with ease, but it took me many many failed tries over several weeks, until I finally found the beta that worked for me (the day before it got reset!)

Recovering workaholic
well, trying to recover at least.
What motivates you to work hard?
i was raised to believe that working and earning money is like the most important thing in life, so i've kind of always been a workaholic, and i'm actually really trying to stop being that way since it just leads me to burnout
I think the question implied that working hard is a good thing. It probably is, but that's not how my brain took it.
I had a meeting yesterday that I was absolutely dreading because I dread every meeting because meeting means talking to people about work. It ended up being perfectly fine, but I don't think I'll ever stop dreading meetings for anything really. Call it a meeting and I won't look forward it.
I was doing pretty well with working on my Teochew and focusing on myself and not doomscrolling too much, but then I went on a family vacation for a week, and I also started feeling a little anxious again about all the things I have to do, so I don't think I've really recovered from that yet.
With moving to a new apartment, and trying to register the space as a charity, and all the summer plans, and the endless amounts of things to do in WhatTCSay, well, there's just a lot of things to juggle right now. And I don't know how to juggle. I'm staring at a bunch of boxes in my living room and I really just want it to be cleared and organized and I want to have nice lamps in the room that I'm sitting in at night.
