Easily Frustrated and Possible Story Update/New Post in the future · 10:50pm Jan 28th, 2018
I honestly do not know why, but these past few months I've been getting easily frustrated at things, more so than I usually do. Little things here and there I see, maybe it's a new story that's posted, something that someone says to another, maybe it's a picture that's posted.
It frustrates and angers me.
It's those little things that just hit me wrong and I latch onto it like a tick, when usually it never phases me much and I just ignore it in favor of doing something actually productive with my time. But instead? I've been getting easily frustrated at such stupid little things.
Is it because it's a new year and I need time to settle into it? Has the emotional fortress I've built up finally begun to crumble under the weight of it all?
I'm not sure.
Aside from that.
I'm toying around with the idea to update a very old story of mine, one a lot of people loved and honestly, it's aged fairly well despite being... close to three years old now, but I'm not 100% on it. Looking back on it, it was a damn good idea, but... I dunno, I'm thinking about a possible reboot for it... might discuss it in a future blog, I dunno.
As for the next part... another new story? Well, lucky day, it seems I'm just cranking them out lately, eh?
Honestly, I have a lot of stories I could publish, like... dozens with finished first chapters or just chapters that are still in a WIP phase but I could finish if I wanted to and then throw em out.
But this one is one that I was inspired to write after watching a Let's Play by Jacksepticeye. The gameplay alone was amazing, the story it told was sad but interesting, and the graphics were a nice throwback to older games. So I ended up getting a story idea revolving around it... aside from that, I got other stories I could post.
But now that I've posted these new ones, Without You and A Volatile Mixture, my focus is being split up even further so it'll be difficult to actually update other shit.
There's a question for anyone who reads my shit and got this far.
What story of mine do you think requires an update? There're a few but... I wanna hear what you guys think.
Sorry about your frustration. It sucks to feel that way I know
. I hope you feel better soon.
I haven't read too much of your stuff yet, but from what I have I'd love to see A Volatile Mixture updated soon. ^_^
What A Life: The Life of Dai.

Hey, if your getting hung up on frustration, there's a trick my family has to help with that.
Devote a day to going on a walk in the woods. Bring your phone, a journal and pen, a lighter, and the clothes on your back.
Spend about 4-6 hours in the woods, and don't think about anything besides how beautiful the forest is. Actively try to erase all other thoughts as your walking through.
When a thought just won't go away, write it down. At the end of your walk, take all the thoughts you wrote down and burn them.
Really, just dig a small hole, an toss the paper in.
It's suppose to represent you losing the bad, and it leaving the good. (Although, just watching the fire helps me personally.)
And yea, I know it sounds wierd, but it's a family tradition when life gets you down. I would be honored to have you partake in a little slice of life from Podunk, Kentucky.
(Also, write another point for A Volatile Mixture)

Do what this guy says! That's an awesome idea.

Same here friend, same here. I hope that stops, because it's as annoying as it is aggravating to me
And I'll get right on that, hehe.

Man, it has been awhile since I updated that, whew.

Whew... man, I might try that, hehe, it's certainly an interesting way of handling things. Thanks for the suggestion
(Also stick around till the 31st, you'll get your update

Solid idea. I just think that it would thrive better with a reboot.

That's what I was thinking.

I won't lie when I say I've thought about rebooting it, if only to give it a new fresh look, my style has changed a lot the past 3-4 years, heh, might put up a strawpoll for it maybe.

Hey, with Skies Unknown coming out soon (hopefully), it would be a good time to get it out.

Ooooh, shoot me a link when you do.
True true... we'll see, I suppose, hehe

If life's getting you down I'd also recommend spending time with friends/family if you can.
I was like that before they said I had diabetes
I have ever been easily angered or frustrated, except when I'm tired. Try to eat better, cut down on caffeine, and hold a normal sleep schedule, I say at 2:34 AM. Jokes aside, try to identify the cause of your mood shifts. It will be better than treating the frustration, and cheaper than a class.

There you go ;)
That walk in the woods idea sounds lovely!
Take it easy out there, Dust. Don't try to build fortresses in your mind, your worries are like a raging river - even the strongest fortress is eventually eroded by its never-ending flow.
Instead, just ride along with the rapids, accept and acknowledge your worries, don't try to dam them up. Just let them flow through you and harmlessly out of you.

I'll try and do that, Clops, thanks for the comment
