My late great grandmother lived past 100 and was one of the women tortured during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. I never really got to know her as much because I was busy playing around with my cousins

Mine would be pancit luglug from the Philippines. My dad would always buy it for me after Sunday mass. It came wrapped in a banana leaf and news paper and tied shut with plastic straw.

I know this is overused and cliché but it gets better eventually. I had a very similar family situation and I knew that it wouldn’t get better until I move out so I essentially masked and became what they wanted me to be. I particularly have a narcissistic mom and she often projected onto me so I just had to perform to satisfy her delusions. Being two people at once is exhausting but you eventually compromise with yourself and bear with it until you can get into a situation to stop pretending.

There will always be a niche online community with your specific interests. The people you will meet online will stay as long as you make an effort to keep in touch. Even the low maintenance relationships are valuable. Maybe shoot a message to one of your old friends and see where that goes. Wouldn’t hurt to say hi every now and then.

Life is what you make it out to be, given whatever resources you have. Granted it’s not always going to be good and a lot of times it will hurt. Learning to accept that pain and sitting with it for a little helps a whole lot. There’s only so much that you can control. You can try to make your learning joyful again; try to reignite or find the passion in new knowledge. You can try and lessen your impact on the climate by eating less animal products and choosing plant-based options more.

Antidepressants aren’t meant to be a magic happy pill. Start with the small things. Maybe a good depression room cleaning and rearranging things around. A walk in the park. Less time on the screen. Sitting with your emotions. Venting and crying it out.

Yesterday, I would’ve agreed with and just wallowed with you but things got better today. You’re not alone. I believe that you can pick yourself up again one step at a time.

We’re making plantbased meatball subs and we’re probably gonna go enjoy some gas station slurpees. We used to drink but we chose not to spend money on alcohol anymore so that tradition is over.

I really gotta go make the Notion database to automate our shopping better. These are really good points!

If you're not very fond of repeating meals, you can try experimenting on new recipes that depend on the same base ingredients and vary on its toppings and flavorings. I remember I'd always have rice as a base and add different veggies and seasonings like soy sauce and chili flakes to make a quick fried rice. It takes time to develop your home cooking mainstays but if you do have some spare time, you can try figuring it out.

That's really cool! I unfortunately have iOS devices but I've been trying to figure out automation via Notion instead

For how many people do you cook for and what meals do you usually prepare in camp?
