I Discovered the Best Way to Relieve Stress

Today I realized something that will change my life for the better.

 

Stress is a horrible thing. Do you know what makes it worse? Waiting. Waiting on whatever is making you stressed will only get worse in the long run. Never make it wait. It'll damage you mentally, physically, and even emotionally. I've been stressed for a long time, since I was a young child. I come from a financially challenged family, so I've had to learn some things the painful way. But today, I have decided to end one part of my large list of stress causes, and it has made me feel so much lighter.

 

So I advise to anyone who will ever read this post, please do not let stress sit. The pain grows every single day.

I'm safe

I forgot that last month I planned to post the I'm safe and healthy! Covid-19 has not attacked any of my family, as far as we know. School in public has closed down, but it's still up online. It won't help my mental health, though. Last month I was so depressed that I got close to harming myself... This isn't doing well with my anxiety and depression.

Well, I'll do my best to check in just in case there is someone who reads my blog, which I doubt. ;u;

Minecraft -- Building

I honestly prefer to make the “box” look. You can make it look good without spending hundreds of hours doing a difficult look that may look absolutely awful the creator’s opinion. I can’t stand trying to make detailed houses, because I like simple but elegant. Wood? I like to match the most similar looking wood together. Adding windows, maybe different block-type walls, makes it a bit more interesting. (I can never add metal. I can’t stand it. It actually hurts my eyes.)

I’m a perfectionist, though. I can’t do the, again in my opinion, “disorganized” look some people prefer. I will go insane if I try to do that, because I will ultimately destroy it completely and start over how I prefer. Some of the designs interests me, but the roofs(?)? They make me cringe because both, or more, sides almost never look the same. That’s why I choose to do a few layers of slabs and/or stairs. I mentally and emotionally can’t stand it. This game is about personal creativity. I plan to make a better looking type of builds, but I just can’t do some designs people like because of my perfectionism. Perfectionism doesn’t mean perfect to everyone else’s eyes. It means it looks perfect in their own eyes. Me? I don’t care what others think of my creativity. (Unless, y'know, it’s art irl…)

I like to have these simple details:
- A “box” look. Not everyone likes the “I have way too much time on my hands” look.
- Four to five block tall outside walls. Width depends on my mood.
- Windows. Windows everywhere. (Although if the spaces in between each window cluster don’t match, I will add more space in the main structure.)
- Double doors.
- If I have the time and right mood, make a slab and/or stair roof.

 Overall, my perfectionism with the main structure gives so much space that I have absolutely no clue how to use it. That’s why I try to make it as small as my poor self can allow. If there isn’t enough space on the main floor, I simply add another.

In drawing, most people like my style of doing things. Some even try their hand at my style, which makes me feel so honored!

Little Teapot but it's a Duckling instead

This is what happens when it's quiet, you leave me alone, and don't give me anything to do. And I'm so tired I can't really think right. Please send sleep to this tired Bird...

I'm a little duckling, short and stout
Here are my wings, here is my beak
If I get all steamed up, hear me quack
Leave me alone and let me swim
