Hello!

Hello!

Any advice for staying committed to learning a skill?

Stormy Reader,

What advice will be most effective depends somewhat on what skill you are attempting to master, but the basics are fairly consistent.

One, set goals for yourself. Two, set aside specific times to work on it. Three, do not let perfect become the enemy of good.

There are people who simply give up, because how can they compare to the masters?

It is a foolish notion, for how long did it take them to become masters?

Talk to others who have the skill you seek, ask advice, ask to see what they can do. Find yourself a teacher if you can, or peers who seek the same skill.

Then, remind yourself why you are doing it, why this is a skill you seek. Move forward with time.

Reflective,

Really? The Sad Monk?

Yes, this would be one difference, while they are certainly visually appealing, I can not imagine forming a long term relationship with them.

Also, while I can not say with certainty that the Monk is celibate, if they are aromantic I'll eat my coat.

Besides, Sky-dono would be horribly disappointed.

I'm surprised your insurance won't cover it. I couldn't get it covered in prison, but I couldn't get anything covered in prison. Not that I would have spoken to the prison counselor anyway.

Edgeworth-Dono did not go so far as to attempt to make therapy a condition of my employment, knowing that would be too far, he did make a point of pointing out the insurance we got as prosecutors did cover some therapists. Not the one I ended up speaking to, who I may or may not keep, but some.

Athena.... should not act as my therapist. her attempting to was the largest reason I started, actually. Before that, I was unwilling to even entertain the idea. The girl has too much to unpack herself, to laden her with my burdens would be a grave misstep.

I do not know that I have found the right one, however. I may yet drop them all together.

(Gonna start a new post so the other one doesn’t get too long)

Well of course I call him dad, I can’t exactly call him “mom” now can I? Not cause he’s a man, but because my mom is… well… I don’t want to call anyone else mom other than my biological mom.

And if you give me a minute, I can get Dad over here to meet you! Just hang tight…

What in the blazes-

…Who are you? Are you really me from another reality? You arent as good-looking as I, but I suppose that’s to be expected from alternative realities.

You two look practically the same.

Nonsense.

I'm Simon Blackquill, and that is what I have been told, you overgrown skunk. Such a hideous visage, how ever did you manage to find a partner looking like that?

*as far as anyone looking can tell, they are, in fact, the same person, looking equivalent.*

Regardless, you have managed it, and cultivated a strong enough bond with the man's daughter that she refers to you not as her fathers partner, nor your first name, but as 'dad'. commendable, if a tad confusing.

Did you not find your....experiences in the past making a relationship different? or are your circumstances different then my own?

Baffled,

Well, firstly, I don't know that it's your business.

Secondly, biceps, obviously.

What is your ideal date?

Reader,

There is no such thing, for it would require that I be in a good place for a relationship, and I am certainly not. Even if I were, very few people have ever been interesting in that way. I am not, as they say, looking.

Were that to change, I suppose...I suppose going to eat at a good noodle place. Bucky's is out of the question, if I took a date there I'd never hear the end of it. Another reason there's no ideal date, as he runs the best noodle shop.

After that, we would go out into the mountains, or perhaps volunteer at the raptor rescue. They love Taka there, she stayed with them briefly as my execution date drew near, and they admired her greatly. She was less fond of them, however.

If there were a theater showing old samurai films, I would consider that, as well.

Hm. Doesn't sound bad, now I've listed some things.

Perhaps it's not....impossible.

-Simon Blackquill

Are you religious?

Well, maybe a little?

When I was a little boy Nana would take me to church with her. Pap pap came too, if he wasn't on duty.

I'm not always at church now, but I always make time to go on Easter, and when i can manage it, I go to the Christmas service with Nana. Its tough getting the time off, but I always try!
