Respawning (again)

[StarRuby]

Whelp, it's been years but I'm back. 

 

I did a lot of things that I am proud of in the time that I am proud of - I was a competitive amateur Overwatch player who got interviewed by a major streamer! I got back into Dungeons and Dragons! I battled my way out of a hoarded house with the help of friends, family, and a lot of elbow grease - 

 

And I gained sixty pounds. Up to my personal highest of 280 lbs. A place I swore I would never get. 

 

But life happens. I stopped exercising. I stopped cooking. I started binge eating again. I struggled. Hard. But then I remembered that I have a community here. There are people who can support me in an online space, and I can pull myself out of this hole. I'm currently fighting for help from a disability case and now I have a wake up call to take care of not only my mental health, but my physical health as well. I'm staring down the barrel of becoming type 2 diabetic; my family has heart problem and I refuse to have a heart attack before I am forty.

 

I can't do it alone, but I refuse to give up. 

 

I remembered that The Rebellion existed, and I'm ready to give it another go. 

 

Third time's the charm, right?

Yes it is. And also the fourth, fifth, sixth, and nine hundred and thirty third times. 

Are we too foolish to stop trying, or too wise? And does it matter? It's time for another round.

There's a phrase that comes to mind: get knocked down seven times, stand up eight. I love it and I'm here for it. 

 

Also, your gif made my day!
