      Every time I go on vacation I always think that I’d be having a better time at home, mostly because it would be so much cheaper.

    This used to be me. Vacation is a skill, developed over time! Don’t listen to other people, learn what you like to do and do it, And no shame!

    If you need to spend 2 weeks sleeping in a coffin under ur house, with chips & shows, u do u babe.

      You can usually take paid time off for whatever reason.

      Maybe not in the US, apparently employee rights are non-existent there

    “Mosquitoes the size of horseflies” I think those were just crane flies, which are harmless lol

      if I knew somebody with a hookup I probably would tbh

      used to do delta-8 but i’ve pretty much quit because I started having bad trips/panic attacks basically every time i ate a gummy.

      am open to trying other stuff like shrooms, dmt, or acid but I have no connections and no knowledge of how to make those kind of connections.

    The sad thing about having to live with your parents in this economy, is that I can’t possibly take a proper vacation day. If I did, my mom would most certainly use it to get me to do some extra chores. Even if I went to a hotel, half of the time would be spent unpacking and the other half repacking.

    I’ve had bad mental health breaks but this is still a good outcome overall.

    Imagine being in poor mental state and still having to work, I’d take the break any day.

    I was excited for my birthday because I was gonna finally take the time to finish cleaning/rearranging my bedroom, since I gutted the room and then got sidetracked for two weeks.

    Woke up today with some of the worst back pain I’ve ever had. I think I must’ve strained a muscle or something in my sleep, but it hurts to move.

    While it’s easy for me to say, in this case you contributed to your stress levels. I’m not a buddhist but I found a lot of the teachings helpful, combined with an audiobook from Derren Brown called ‘Happy’… in this situation the best move would be to assess what can be changed (activity, location) and what cannot be changed (the weather, if the fish are biting, mosquitos).

    It’s a bit of a grim idea to come to terms with, but acceptance that many aspects of life happen to us with no control is oddly freeing. Anyway I’ll fuck off now with my advice. You might hate it and I can’t control that!

    Why would you go anywhere with a cold? That’s gonna certainly be more miserable than staying home with a child, which is also miserable but at least in air conditioning
