Life is an up and down journey.

I have no idea whatever comes my way will ever be right.

My younger-self assumed I knew everything. Then I would hit a downward spiral. My depression and anxiety would kick in. I tried to forget about my mental health crisis. Because I was told to always be optimistic in life. But it would be impossible. I never wanted to acknowledge, realize, and accept my flaws and weaknesses. Because of my huge ego too.

183) My Decluttering Business

7/15/2019

I started to sell used material goods through FaceBook Marketplace since last November.

I like to connect with my buyer as well. I try to satisfy my buyer on the purchased product.

"If you are dissatisfied, you can get return it with a full refund," I tell my buyer.

I began to declutter at this time too.

I learned how to declutter from watching Netflix documentary, Minimalism. And reading Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. And reading Greg McKeown's book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.

I continue to find more sources in decluttering. Because I like to keep learning.

My way of decluttering is choosing to either donate, sell, recycle, or junk items. 

Decluttering and selling gave me an idea to start on a business.

I offer two options to my client.

182) A Pretty Lady Visits Me

Aniecia takes a selfie as I drive
A friend from Texas visited me this past week.

Her name is Aniecia.

She's a sexy, attractive lady. And I was the first to call her as the X-Men superhero character, Storm. She does look like her.

​She recently started this new look.

"You're a hot chocolate. And I'm melting right away," I told her.

She laughed.

​I was told to never a chase a woman taller than me. And I was told to always go for a light-skin woman.

Back in my elementary school days, I was surrounded by mostly Filipinos. And back in my Sonoma State University days, I was surrounded by mostly Whites.

She is an Ethiopian mix standing at 5'7. While I'm only 5'5.

​I approached her 5 years ago in Vegas. And she was with a group of friends. She was turning 18 in two days at the time. She decided to round off her age. And tell me she was 18.

181) My Embarrassing First Dates

7/1/2019

I used to expect more from only a first date. I assumed it will be the best to remember if I ever have a deeper relationship with her. My young-self's mind was always dwelling in the past and overseeing the future.

My first so-called date was with Janine.

I assumed it was a date in my mind. I was jumping for joy when she said yes.

I was 16 years old at the time. This was a month after my sister passed away. I was grieving and mourning. I needed someone to comfort me. And I experimented it.

She was a year older than me. She picked me up from my house. I was awkward about it. Because she's driving. But I realized I don't have a drivers' license yet. We went together to see a romantic comedy movie, Alex and Emma.

I was overthinking during the so-called date. My anxiety kicked in. It was more of a meetup.
