I'm 25!
Now, I have gone and done many mistakes, BUT, I am fairly confident on the choices that I am doing as of late. I'm the best version of me yet, you got no idea what is coming.
I love you sushis!

22 today… going la americano!

Felicidades fellow 12ther

Wtf I troed to post here twice yesterday and it didn't come thorugh wtf.
I'm still in time to claim my post here idgaf.

Hey everyone it's me, Recima, the famous boymoder from https://brainworm.surgery

I am now nineteen :3

(it's actually on the 3rd, not the 4th, idk what timezone this website uses)

>>13611
the first thing that came to mind when I woke up was posting in this thread
1 year has passed and now I finally watched every season of hidamari

>>15651
oh whoa how come i never noticed ur post here
world is such a small place… so cool :o

sage because it's not my birthday yet =w='''

>>13996
Oh, hey, it's that time of the year again. I don't know what happened in the meantime. I spent the day at work, which was unremarkable. People at work are fine, they're just not my kind of people. We're bringing in a new guy, so he hung around in the later hours. I'm too enthusiatic when talking about some of the things I've done, I'm afraid he might think I'm slightly manic.

When I came home my dad had bought some party snacks and made a cake. We ate and sung happy birthday and ate. That was really nice; my dad and brother and sister make for a nice family. I suppose I should cherish them.

I don't like talking about work. When I was a NEET, I told myself if I ever got a job, that I wouldn't let it take much of a central place in who I am. But I'm just shallow and uninteresting no matter what I seem to do anyway, at least a job holds some semblance of legitimacy. So what else am I supposed to do? You are what you do, after all.

I suppose I should be satisfied. I'm learning Japanese, and I'm *actually* learning Japanese. I can squeeze a few interesting projects at work, and I'm set up for a promotion in the near future. I have a few programming side-projects I've been working towards, that I actually care about. But in retrospect, it all feels like I'm just going through the motions. "Oh, time for doing flashcards; you've been keeping a good streak, it'd be a shame if you missed a day." "Oh, let's read some more of that visual novel; immersion is the essence of language learning." "Oh, entrance exams are coming; you don't want to fail again, better write that practice essay, or brush up on your chemistry, or whatever." "Oh, you don't want to waste the weekend away; better take some time to work on a side-project." It isn't like any of those are unenjoyable, or purposeless, but looking at it from a holistic point of view, the baseline feels so… nothing. If I'm not mechanically working away towards something, them I'm nothing, because you are what you do, but it all feels like an eternal everyday and I still have no idea of who I am anyway so what's the point.

I had forgotten I share a birthday with Yume Nikki. It'd be nice to wander around for a while, but I don't know if my enthusiasm is really there, and I really ought to sleep. Tomorrow is work, after all; but we'll see.

Looking at past me is bittersweet. I seemed a lot more directed, I suppose. I knew what I cared about, and I actually *cared*. Paradoxically, I meandered a lot, couldn't commit to anything, but I knew what I cared about; there was a sense of importance, a sense of belonging, something like that. Outwardly I seem to look better than ever, but I can't seem to care about any of it anymore, always keeping a cool distance. What an unremarkable day. Here's a nice UNDER17 song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdiYFgGI6_w

Born on JULY THE 4th

My one irl friend remembered my birthday and texted me which was very nice, but he's out of town so I'm just drinking alone tonight.

happy birthday sushi!!

Happy birthday sushi!
It's my birthday soon too!

Another year. It was alright, a lot of setbacks, but also small gains. The toughest battles are still ahead.

>>17016
Happy Birthday Sushi. It's my birthday now, too. All of my toughest battles are here, now. Almost finished my Associate's, and the last classes I have are tough. I hope I'll be able to beat these classes, graduate, and move on with my life.

Ayaya <3

Happy 20th bday to me!! Uh, did not post more after my last bday's post but hopefully I will after this one(?)

I made brownies and stuffs, they were really nice!! I might start posting the food I make on /kitchen/. Making desserts is really comfy, it's becoming my new favorite hobby. Ily sushis <3!!

A day late but this one has grown older!
I don't quite feel it though. I still feel like I am trying to wrestle with and make sense of life, it's overwhelming, but I do have some hopeful energy to get me through the days.

>>14597
Everyday is like my birthday!
Every way I've got to treasure the moment!

29 today. According to common wisdom, I have exactly one more year with functioning knees and the ability to hear high-pitched sounds. Gonna make the most of these things while I can by spending the whole year doing squats while listening to music made with dog whistles.

>>17060

We're the same age then (>>17059)

>>17060
hah, you're probably okay as long as you didn't spend your whole youth damaging those things. But… 30's is when most people start to develop chronic health issues that become part of your life.

Happy birthday!
Whew, this was a year that went by for sure. Can't say it was the best one but it was not bad either. I got to make friends with some of the wildest people out there doing things that seem completely impossible to me. Did you know that there are people out there restoring old computers by creating complete working replicas by hand? Absolutely rad!

For a mandatory word of advice: Let's continue to be bold and brave, do not succumb to the life others want you to live, go live your life instead, living others' dream lives isn't nearly as fun! But I would want to warn you against hurting others needlessly in the process.

The only thing I regret this year is not talking to sushirolls more, this format is rather intimidating but I know it is worth keeping at it and perfecting my posts.

PS: My Dear Grandma, thank you so much; I almost forgot about my own birthday if it wasn't for you being as awesome as you are and calling me!

27 today. Wanting to die since 13. Go me.

25 here! A year spent on doing next to nothing. It was very relaxed but very useless too, I feel. I'd define it as this: motionless and lethargic.
Started journaling again, wrote bitter words. I'll see if the following days will see my viewpoint improving.

My word of advice: don't do nothing. It's easy to spiral into wasteful idleness. Thought I was the kind of guy that'd enjoy it, but it's getting kind of grating towards the end.

My apologies for sadposting too much!

I totally forgot to post on my birthday and that is because I do not celebrate it. It is exactly one month since I am 24..

..wait, I will be 25 this year?

Hello I am posting this from 2024
Don't go to the future it's not worth it.
jk I am a day older today I hope you don't mind.
Happy bday to all the sushis in this thread.

>>18229
I mean a year older, I 'm also a bit tipsy, okay?

>>15651
Well, I'm 20 now

Let's see, I think over the past year I've had 3 exes, am currently dating someone for money who I've nicknamed "Flour", and am having an affair with three other people who I've all nicknamed "Flower". I'm currently rather depressed because I can't afford SRS (sexual reassignment surgery), but hopefully things turn around for the better soon. If you want to be friends with me or harass me, you can send a friend request on discord to "recima", or you can stop by https://brainworm.surgery where i may or may not be around. Anyways, I hope that all of you are doing better than me. Take care all <3

Birthday again today. Life's been shit for me lately but I'm trying to keep going.
Haven't been here for a while… hope you sushis are fine.
>>17061
wow I thought I was the only one who knew about this release. good shit.

It's like rain on your birthday….

>>16234
And here we are, yet again. I guess this should be where adulthood really begins. Younger me used to say I'd die at this age, but it doesn't seem that likely anymore. I figure I should be glad.

People at work remembered. They bought a cake and everything. It was really nice. I don't know what I should do about this, but it makes me feel really guilty, with how much they seem to esteem me versus how misplaced I always seem to feel. On the other hand, I've been working more than I ever thought I would, and yet I'm not unhappy about it. I wonder what this says about me.

My sister tried to bake me a cake, but somebody had left a bowl inside the oven and now it's a plastic mess. We'll see how much damage that has done tomorrow, but hopefully we get a working oven by the time her birthday comes around - that's just a few days away. I feel rather sorry for her.

I hopped onto a Discord call with a few friends and walked around Yume Nikki for a while. I didn't get to visit everywhere I wanted to, but it was nice anyway.

I don't know what else to write here. The year passed uneventfully - I seem to still be pretty much at the same place as yesteryear. That dreadful feeling that I've somehow lost my way, I missed something that ought to have been clear, still lurks around. I've became rather adept at keeping it at bay, but there's still the feeling I shouldn't be dismissing what might be telling something so bluntly.

But I shouldn't want to sound so ungrateful - today was a happy day. Hope all sushis have had a nice year so far :D

I'm 24 now. I don't visit here much anymore as I'm busy with other commitments, but I still think of this place from time to time. Cheers sushi.

All is lots

30 today. I injured my knee a couple months ago so I guess I wasn't wrong about that lol.

A week late, but I still wanted to post something here anyway.

Since the last post I made in this thread, it feels like my life is gearing up for major changes. Due to a large sum of debt being lifted from me, I have way more financial flexibility than I've ever had. For the first time, major purchases like home and transportation don't seem like a pipe dream. Even stuff like expensive hobby items are well within reach. It's a nice feeling, but I hope not to take this for granted.

In addition, my mental health has taken a turn for the better as well. I feel much more in sync with myself, more understanding, more forgiving. I'm learning more about myself, rather than judging and comparing to what I "should" be. This is also a nice feeling.

I didn't draw as much as I hoped to, but I'm willing to be patient here.

In all, I feel more hopeful and positive.

Happy birthday!

This year is one of those I am glad is getting over soon. I can't wait for the snow!

I do hope that the sushi board lives on, even if all of the scary rumours turn into reality. What rumours? Quite daring from somebody within the cake range.

Get caked~

(second pic related as I don't have to hide anything, my cakes are NOT burnt!)

my weirdest year yet…

And here we are again, it's always such a pleasure.

Made it another year. Am I better off for it? Eh, maybe. I don't feel much older, though maybe that's because most of my coworkers are older than me.

Well anyways, cheers to my past self, looking forward to next year.

4 years later i finally remembered to post in this thread!!!

It's that day today.

Well, it's my birthday now.
Feels like a regular day really, maybe one person salutes and that's it.

Here we are. Wish I hadn't made plans for this evening; I'd rather just eat cake and watch my shows alone like most other days.

>>21664
Haha, I will live your dreams tonight. Happy birthday!

>>21665
Have fun and happy birthday to you, too!

>>21664
Cake is a lie!

Another year passes. This has been the worst year of my life, if not 2019. I feel miserable most of the time, but enough about that. Mom bought a cake and croissants. That's nice. Not sure what I'll do today… probably nothing special? Hope I have the motivation to at least play a game or watch some kino.
