    Well, there’s always a live-in caretaker around for me, hired by my family. I wake up, get breakfast served, have a bath and change into some comfy clothes, then I do things such as read, play video games, do puzzles, watch movies / tv shows, listen to music, color, board games, knit… my friends might come around. My family would hang out with me. I like being taken on walks with yummy snacks. I like picnics. I like playing in the hottub or pool, in the bathtub filled with bubbles. I like dressing up. Now the weather s cold tho so there s not much to do outdoors. So basically eat sleep play.

      living the life.

      any particular music, video games or movies that stick out to you as worth recommending or then you especially vibe with?

      do you receive SSI payments (If you’re American) or any government assistance, or does your family support you on their own?

          woo ghibli for days, me too.

          k-pop hasn’t hooked me, and I even lived in Korea for a while, can you understand Korean?

          or I guess more to the point, what is the quality of K-Pop that hooked you?

          The music itself, or the idol culture or what?

          I don’t play a lot of sim games, and I’m actually a little concerned that if I start playing stardew valley I’m going to get crazy into it and become addicted Just because I don’t know anything about it and I know the community is so obsessed with the series.

          also, that’s super cool of your family.

            K-Pop has the music videos, dance, aesthetics and looks concepts that mainstream pop just doesn’t these days, it’s very bland. Plus I like the music. They do bubblegum pop right. And I also like the idol culture. There’s so much content. Supporting my fav Kpop idols feels like supporting a friend or family after having watches so many hours of content with them in it. It’s really interactive. No, I don’t know Korean. NCT especially has really good music. Very well produced. SM is definitely the top player in that aspect.
