That moment when you have to make the coffee before you've had the coffee. All of us coffee lovers know this feeling very well.

My upstairs neighbors are so loud
Having my upstairs neighbors above me is honestly a nightmare. They're the noisiest people I've ever seen in my life. It's a family with 2 kids and 2 big pit bulls. It's a complete nightmare. And right before they moved in up there, the floors were changed from carpet to wood.
 |
| Loud noises? Nope. |
The walls seem thin
So I can hear almost everything. And it's really stressful to go through. And some nights, they are noisy all the way up until like 10 at night. The kids are the worst. They just jump all around and stomp on the floors. It sounds like they're having a circus up there. The only peace I get is when they're asleep, or in the daytime when the kids are at school.
 |
| Let's all be quiet. |
They're not as loud on weekdays
But the weekends are a nightmare, because the kids are home and they just get so crazy on Friday and Saturday nights.
I tried banging on the wall last night, and they quieted down. But tonight, they've been super noisy again. Help me!

Soda, tea, or coffee? (which is my favorite?)
Which do I like better? Soda, tea, or coffee? Well, that's a very hard thing to answer. I can't really just pick one. I love them all in different ways. They are my 3 favorite drinks, after all. Every day I have all 3 of them.
 |
| Isn't caffeine amazing? |
I love having coffee right when I wake up in the morning. Then I transition to soda and tea. I usually drink diet soda and iced tea with no calorie sweetener. I used to drink a lot of sweet tea with sugar, but it was too sweet for me.
What about diet soda?
Same with diet soda, I usually drink it because it's not as sweet. Regular soda seems to be too sweet for me, usually.
 |
| Enjoying a soda is always nice. |
All caffeine is great
I love all these drinks, though; they're part of my daily ritual. I can't imagine my life without them. It really is hard to just pick one as a favorite. So until then, I'll just keep drinking them all. Here's to staying highly caffeinated!
Dealing with a lot of STRESS right now
I'm super stressed out right now. It's ok, I'll get through it, like I always do. I just hate feeling stressed out and overwhelmed. Life is just stressful. I wish things could be easy. I have someone in my life with whom I'm not getting along too well.
 |
| Stress is really hard to deal with. |
I just hate having so much to deal with. I want life to be easy. I need to find better ways to deal with stress. That would be amazing if I could figure it out.
Life should be good, not stressful
I just want to relax and enjoy life. I feel like that's not too much to ask. We all deserve to have a calm, easy life. Life shouldn't be stressful all the time. But sometimes things happen, one after the other, and it just stresses us out.
That's kind of just the way life is sometimes.
Too much stress isn't healthy
I've been super stressed out. Just trying to deal with it in healthy ways, but it's hard sometimes. I work too much, and I sometimes forget how to pace myself.
 |
| Getting stress under control is healthy. |
I need to remember to take more breaks. Working all the time isn't healthy. And too much stress isn't healthy.
Self-care is good
I'm trying to practice more self-care and limit things that stress me out. It's going ok so far, I'm making progress slowly.

Chime in
How do you deal with stress? What type of things do you do to relax?

Just realized I'm neurodivergent
I had heard the term "neurodivergent" before, but I didn't know exactly what it meant. Now I realize, I definitely am. I always knew I felt different in some ways, and after reading about what this term actually means, I realized it fits me perfectly.
 |
| Yep. |
Is there a stigma around this word?
I'm not really sure, but there shouldn't be. We are all different, and we should embrace that and be proud of who we are.
I'm glad I did more research and learned more about this.
Why are certain people internet trolls?
Why do some people troll? I wonder what they get out of it. Maybe they're just looking for attention. I think that's why they do it.

| Internet trolls are not fun to deal with |
I mean, why troll people, unless you just want attention? I don't see how they enjoy messing with people. Seems a little weird.
Why they do it
I guess trolls are sometimes jealous of others' successes. I think that's what it boils down to. The moral of the story is, don't be a troll!
Funny joke idea (you'll love this one)
I think a hilarious joke/prank idea would be to go into a convenience store to buy a soda. When you're checking out (assuming there is a line of people), hold your finger up and instantly go into an old man voice and say:
"Back in my day, a soda only cost a nickel!"
I think that would probably get a good laugh from the people standing around. I love thinking of random jokes and funny things like this. Happens all the time. Oh, and I really love drinking soda, by the way. It is such an amazing drink.
Why I love retro gaming
Here's why I love retro gaming. Or as some people like to call it, "old school gaming". It has a certain charm to it. There's just something about the 8-bit graphics, music, and all of that.
 |
| Gaming is the best |
I love settling in and playing a good NES, Genesis, or Atari game. I love all retro games; it doesn't matter which console they're from. 8-bit graphics are my favorite, but I also love Atari, 16-bit consoles, and so on.
 |
| Gaming is awesome. |
Retro gaming is amazing
I love new gaming too, but retro is my favorite. There are a lot of people who agree with me. The NES is definitely my favorite console, hands down. Classic gaming for the win. Remember playing Nintendo games back in the 80s?

| A good gaming session |
