I want to do a big show outside the Midwest and have a table. Prefer to take train or drive over flying (I’m fine flying but airports and catching flights gives me anxiety) any suggestions? My growth comes from cons. I have genuine interactions. Time to get out of the Midwest.

I was unable to get my adderal for about 3 weeks. Finally able to get it today. The headache I’ve had non stop disappeared 20 minutes later. I got so much done today. I feel like a drug addict. I haven’t been taking them a year and it’s changed my life for the better. How did I function before?

I made a hype video to watch every morning and night before bed. It has metal music, anime scenes, memes, comedians, movie scenes, and pro wrestling moments. The rule was it can only go in if it always hits. Any guesses on what went in? What would you put in yours?

Sharing this randomly. Happy to take on students..
