Mob Psycho 100 Vid: Kindness

I finally got around to finishing Season 2 of the anime Mob Psycho 100 and it was great. The show's combination of dark humour and life affirming sweetness took a little while to get used to, and is hard to get across in a review, but I feel like this vid does a pretty good job at capturing the second: Kindness. Contains moderate anime violence.

The chorus is a pretty good encapsulation of one of the main themes of the show: "You're not a monster, just a human, and you made a few mistakes. It's alright."

Another main theme is the difficulty, but vital importance, of not seeing yourself as better than other people just because you have some advantage over them, but instead having compassion and respect for everyone. We're all just human.

I AM STRONG LIKE IRON

I've been feeling weirdly good lately???

Still within expected operating parameters, but consistently on the better end of the scale, for like two weeks. I expect it'll dip back down eventually, but I haven't felt this good for this long in about six months, so whatever kicked me down a notch at the end of last year has hopefully worn off? Maybe??? I'm not used to having optimistic thoughts about my health, even mild ones like "maybe I'm no sicker than I was last year". *hopes I'm not jinxing myself*

Since this is such a cheery development, I decided to make this an unlocked post. Under the cut is some dry medical speculation of the sort I usually lock, but nothing generally distressing asides from talking about food and food intolerances.
