Landslide 🌧️


Song of the Day: “Landslide” – Fleetwood Mac 🎶

There are days when life doesn’t just knock the wind out of you—it sits on your chest, eats your lunch, and leaves without saying sorry.

Today was that day.

I woke up ready to face the usual chaos. Bills, budgets, adulting. I thought I had things spaced out just right—insurance company wasn’t supposed to pull funds until tomorrow. But I caught it. Right after making the car payment and settling up with a friend, I logged in to find a zero balance staring back at me. 🫠

Nothing.
No buffer.
No safety net.

Just digital tumbleweeds and the quiet sound of defeat.

I’ve tried everything to generate extra income—side gigs, selling collectibles, even half-joking thoughts of selling a kidney. (Just one. I'm not greedy.) But so far, nothing sticks. Everything I’ve done has either fizzled out, fallen flat, or felt like it was working until life said, “lol, nope.”

I can’t donate plasma. I need to get rid of that car in my driveway. And right now, the stress is pressing down on me like I’m at the bottom of the ocean with no air tank. 😮‍💨

That car in my driveway? Right now, it’s just a paperweight with wheels. A monument to expenses I can’t afford and freedom I can’t use.

Meanwhile, my body is tired. My mind is running marathons on a loop. And emotionally? I’m somewhere between "crying into a burrito" and "screaming into the void."

And yet...

Tobito saw the bank statement and fainted onto a pile of expired protein bars—an accurate reflection of my current, protein-less finances. The Refried Avenger tried to sell a motivational poster that just says, “At Least You Tried” with a burnt edge aesthetic. 🔥🥲

They’re trying. I’m trying. We’re all just trying.

Today, it feels like I’m standing in the middle of a landslide. Everything I worked so hard to build is shifting beneath me. But maybe that’s the lesson. Maybe when the mountain moves, it’s not to bury us—it’s to make us climb.

Storms don’t just destroy—they reshape the land. ⛰️

So I’ll wake up tomorrow, lace up my beat-up sneakers, and keep climbing. One broken piece at a time.

🛡️ Side Quest: The Push-Up Pact — Level 3

Image
The day’s work has weighed on you like a stubborn shadow. Back day at the gym left your shoulders tight, your arms heavy, your mind buzzing with fatigue. And yet…you almost—almost—skipped the Pact. But hesitation isn’t rewarded here. Palms meet the floor, cold and unforgiving. Fingers splay as if to anchor yourself to reality. Core tightens; breath deepens. The first push drags you down, every muscle protesting. The tile beneath your palms is hard, unyielding, and the faint echo of your own heartbeat fills your ears. Second push. Your shoulders scream, your arms tremble. Sweat beads along your brow, slides into your eyes, stings—but you push through. Third push. Fourth. By the fifth, rhythm arrives like a quiet ally: shoulders align, core braced, every movement deliberate. Breath steady, body moving as one. The burn intensifies, sweet and sharp. It courses through your chest, down your arms, into every fiber of your being. Each push is a coin pressed into the vault of persi...
