Jun is struggling to get by day to day, relying on drugs to deal with the demons of war still haunting her. After robbing the wrong people, Jun finds she needs the help of others whether she likes it or not.

I like that this is set in a fictional universe but still portrays the horrible treatment of veterans in a realistic and sympathetic way. The art style is cool and unique; gritty but cute in all the right places. If I had a complaint, it would be the ending came on too fast for me after spending so much time with Jun but we can’t spend forever watching her help the people around her but I still really enjoyed it. Granted, it’s more about the characters than PTSD itself but it’s still a good story. 3.7 out of 5.

That’s it.

Seriously, I don’t have an excuse. I didn’t want to skip a workout but I didn’t want to be on the treadmill either. It wasn’t that I didn’t feel motivated or sore or overtired. I just looked at the thing and went:

Not every day is going to be perfect when you’re trying to get fit and lose weight. And it’s not like I ate poorly today or ate too much. I still keep my calories low and went for an extra walk on my lunch break (to get something to eat but I picked the bagel place further away for the extra movement). I refuse to feel guilty for taking it easy since my mental health is just as important as my physical health. If I wanna blow off the treadmill to do a workout where I can write at the same time because I enjoy it, then I’m gonna do it.
