More sugar with some caffeine or more caffeine with some sugar?
Gut issues or less refreshing sleep?
More bathroom time or delayed sleep time?
Potential hyperglycemia or caffeine side effects?
Milk as something optional or milk as a mandatory add on?

| When it came to socializing, I'm just someone who just comes and goes. I'm not a true introvert, I'm just asocial. I don't have a real social drive; it's just boredom. And to me socializing is just one of the countless choices to choose from. My neighbors were the best people I socialize with as a c... |

| The old me would've finished off at least 2 long slugs of biscuits. :lol: Then it won't last an hour. And even spend an extra just to taste more. It won't care how much my gut would feel, nor ever slow down to appreciate the tastes. Especially when I'm stressed, bored, impatient, etc. Really, if it ... |

I had to keep reminding myself that it's only been barely 2 months since the change that I wanted to h... |

| In my case, it's mix and match relative to my current state. Turns out; the most consistent thing for me was the inability to ignore internal sensations; this includes emotions, feelings, thoughts and ideas -- not easy to let go or ignore. I've been fighting it for most of my life. The closest break... |

| Mind that this is me, my own social skills and experience; I don't think I need them and I don't mask. I have a social knack (it's one of my counter-aspie trait that I inherited. It's genetic and generational directly coming from my mother's maternal grandfather; so don't bother) :o They're NTs with... |

| Note that my own morality, my own views over humanity, their existence and survival is different. I'll make the cure. However -- it's conditional. If I were to hold humanity's life at the palm of my hands -- it won't be a charity. :lol: Since I'm not obligated to save them... I can just easily deny ... |

As long as I can fight it, I refuse to be 'destroyed'.
My life is currently going uphill.
From being in a slow and painful decay in futile effort to preserve it in a tiring endless battle with myself -- to being finally remade, for better and stronger, in a marathon length momentum. |
