I’ve been watching Hajime no Ippo, on Netflix. I typically watch my animes in English if possible, but if they are only Japanese, I don’t mind it. I’m kind of bummed because after the first season of watching the entire show in English, the rest is in Japanese. My brain doesn’t like that. I really loved the show, but it’s hard for me to make the transition because now I don’t know whose voice is who’s, if I look away for like one second, I feel like I could miss a huge plot point. It makes me sad because I really love the show. So much so that I considered reading the manga. And I have never wanted to read a manga, ever. To be clear, this is not me bagging on the show or the culture.

As a former martial artist and one who wants to return to the sport, I find this show, inspiring, entertaining, and absolutely slept on. If you’re ever looking for something to watch where they just throw straight hands, this is it. Hajime no Ippo is up there with my favorite animes. Honestly 10/10 worth the watch. I know it’ll never happen, but I hope they do a continuation. I never thought I’d be so entertained about an anime where the guy is completely normal. For everything is completely normal. But I straight up love this fucking show.

I truly despise this disorder. I was doing so good for so long. And I basically relapsed. Recently, I was talking to a friend, my friend has herpes. As she was talking, she spit onto my lip. Within the next minute, I wiped off my lips of course and reapplied chapstick. I then spiraled and started to wonder. I started googling possibilities again. Even though everything I have found, from infectious disease experts to herpes, has said little to no risk, from people asking the same question or have been in the same scenario I still think it’s gonna happen to me.
I hate this disorder I hate how it paralyzes me when I’m afraid. Sometimes I really feel like my brain is broken.
