Maybe we need a new thread too?
Just because of the length of this one?
Because we’ve gone stagnant. We need a fresh start <3
Stagnant? Nah... But maybe a fresh start could be good
We ran outta topics. Lol
Lol, we have several just from today. Sometimes it do feel like that though
We do?
Yeah, like... On this page and the previous one
There’s 66 pages hehe
Lol, indeed. I wouldn't know where to start before recent ones
Huh????
Before recent topics
Are we bored lol
I'm not. 😜 I just don't poke after replying.
I've been having a rough week. I feel like I'm getting burned out with life right now
Poke?
What’s going on? Tell me everything *settles in to listen* <3
How can I help? <3
Im just not really finding any joy in anything lately. I think I'm especially tired of being hot all the time...
Welcome to my world.
Idk how to smile much anymore…
Hang out in AC? Library.
Maybe you need to laugh at stuff?
I'm not sure, I'm not used to feeling this way. I just really don't feel like anything seems that appealing.
I can't. I mean, I'm at work. There's AC in the office... But it sucks. It's like 75 in here at all times. They never fix it. I've been here over 5 years, it never gets better.
I feel like I should be doing more. But I also need to do less. But I’m also stagnant. And bored. And lonely. And tired. Idk if I should be doing more, and what. Or should I be doing less? I’m so confused…
That's actually exactly how I feel. O_O my best guess is that I need a break from my routines. maybe it's the same for you? I decided to go out tonight for a while for dinner and driving around... And listened to some YouTube on my phone at work instead of doing all the extra Duolingo etc. I think it was a good choice for now
I just heard a song that said, “You don’t need a girlfriend, you just need a therapist” XD
That sounds about right. 😂 I feel like I could say that about a friend or two ..
My stepdad.
I don't think you've said much about him..
@Torean
What would you like to know?
He broke me...
How did he break you?... It sounds like a rough story...
He abused and neglected me.
That sounds horrible. Abused like how?
Neglect is a messed up feeling from a father figure...
Yelling, ignoring me, just everything.
I refused to call him Dad.
Good on you for refusing. Guys like that have no business being in any sort of father role
He messed me up.
I wish you had better, you deserved better. Then again you're definitely in good company now.
How so?
A lot of us had dads that were bad in our own ways. Mine just acted disappointed, neglected me, built an entire town to get away with me... Some other peychological things too that weren't cool.
AI just asked me:
Pineapple pizza: Culinary crime scene?
Lolllll
It absolutely is. But know what is actually good on pizza? Grilled peach slices.
Why????
They're sweet, and it works really well with the pizza I had. It has bacon, jalapeno honey, gorgonzola cheese, and pesto. Actually, honey works really well on pizza in general, in my opinion
@Torean
Never thought to try those combos...
Heheh, it's fun to find interesting stuff that works 😁 of course I can't take the credit for that one, but it's definitely good
Try BBQ sauce on canned corn.
I have. It's, like, ok. It does make the canned corn better.
I grew up on that stuff.
I didn't get to. 😂 I'm sure I would've liked it as a kid though. Did you grow up with canned peaches and cottage cheese? That's one that I still like
Ew why???? Who invented cottage cheese? Why? Why does it look and feel like that??? XD
Lol, what you just said is low-key how I feel about bleu cheese. Which I admittedly don't exactly dislike either 😂
How do you feel about the band P.O.D.? I grew up with them a little, but I kinda lost track since they're technically a Christian band. I have to admit though, they really have done some of the coolest songs.
Never heard their stuff that I’m aware of, so I don’t have much of an opinion lol
Their name stands for "Payable On Death". I highly recommend them, they're the real deal, both as a band and what I believe real Christians should be. Their songs are like more of a real perspective than worship, I feel like it's an amazing rock band for anyone who sees what goes on in the world and wants better for us all. I'm not just collecting songs I like as I check them out, I actually like the idea of listening to their full albums on my own time.
You should listen to "Youth of the Nation" by them.
Name sounds depressing lol
That sounds familiar…
Does it? It kinda makes me feel guilty. If it comes to being a good person, I just don't have the best track record... 😅 Though I know the name is about more than that.
It should, that was a big song for a while. I'm a big fan of a lot of their more recent stuff too.
Why guilty?? No guilty :(
Hard to get away from guilt. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever stop being out of control...
How so?
I have tendencies. 😅 I mean, maybe a little hedonistic... Maybe a little angry on others. I think I find that most of it comes from a place of deep seated resent.
Idk what hedonistic means…
Uh, kinda like wanton pleasure-seeking.
Oh ok
Sometimes I feel so icky on the inside, sometimes I just feel mad that people made me feel that way... I wish I had access to kink communities when I was technically too young for them. The reason being is that I might have found real support. All I grew up with is Catholic guilt... And I was so used to bullies keeping me around as a "friend" they could kick around, that I became an easy target for girls just wanting to use me. Nowadays I'm a mess, and I just want to be myself without me or anyone else having to hurt or feel bad.
I’m crying rn :’(
What's wrong? ð«¤
Doing too much… Overwhelmed
Ok, deep breaths? Deep breaths. What's got you overwhelmed so much?
Doing EVERYTHING. It’s my day off… and I don’t get a day off :’(
Ok... Well, when can you stop doing everything? You deserve some time for you!
@Torean
I finally stopped. Laundry and dishes are done. I'm finally resting... Haven't read much today. Yet...
Maybe you should read for enjoyment. No goals today. Give yourself the flexibility to switch gears.
Heh. I just spent an hour or two moving furniture in our room, back and forth. Room looks AMAZING now, much better and more usable, but my back is KILLING me now lol
Whyyyyy? You were just in tears about doing so much
Didn’t have a choice. But it’s a good tired. Room makes me happier now :)
I HAVE A DRAWER FOR MY BOOKS NOW!!!! <3 <3 <3
Ok, I'll accept all of that except for not having a choice. 😁 I'm glad you have a book drawer!
I’m so happy about my book drawer hehe
Hehe, glad. 😁. But, would you rather have a book drawer than a book shelf?
Debatable…
I’ve always wanted a bookshelf (been over a decade maybe since I had one), but I like that I can hide away my books so it’s less visual clutter. Also, I can’t see most of the titles with how I stacked them, so I won’t keep seeing the same books over and over and get bored with seeing the same titles, and come to resent the books. (Welcome to my weird brain. Lol)
It's your weird brain that makes the most sense to me. 😁. Everything that you just said made a lot of sense. I could see pros/cons with both
Yeah? Do tell hehe
Eh, same stuff you said
Oh. Lol
I've got those drawers taken up with movies and games though
cough nerd cough
Yep 😊
It gets better, right?
Yes. But whatcha mean?
Life.
Yes and no. 😅
Maybe this room reno is the start of something good <3
I think it really could be. Any other ideas for it?
I cut my nails tonight. I’m also getting my hair cut Tuesday. Not like trimmed. Like, I’m cutting off like a foot. <3 (Which is gonna confuse EVERYONE at work… And get a lot of unwanted and painful comments about “You shouldn’t have cut your hair!” which I got last time…)
If you need the change, run with it! Forget what they say. 😁 Also read about the reading nook part, that's awesome too.
Their words affect me so much. Like they’re in charge of my hair…
Thank you! I LOVE that chair now hehe
Don't let them effect you so much. Especially if you can wear it with confidence. Own the change. ❤️
I’ve cut it that drastically before. I rocked it ;) I just hated the comments and the hating lol
It sounds like they just want to be like that. If it's actual hate from them, then I'd say be yourself anyway, because it sounds like it turned out awesome
It’s cooler in the summer. Long hair is like a blanket.
Seriously. I need to get mine cut again for that reason. My hair grows so thick its unreal.
Lol, you’re fluffy like a sheepdog?
I shed like a husky lol
Lol I'm not far from it. 😅
I suddenly feel invisible again…
What happened?
Idk, just happened for no reason, just sitting in my reading chair.
Maybe invisibility could be a gift sometimes. I mean, it's a stretch, but sometimes it makes it easier to reflect on what's going on around you.
I just wanted to add an optimism though, I don't want you to feel unseen
Men are weird.
Yes? But what are you referring to?
Just the random stuff you overhear when guys either don’t know a girl is in the room or don’t care lol
Lol, what was it? Sounds interesting already. 😂
Something along the lines of showing off how much they could lift casually lol
Heheh, sounds about right. 😂
Check my last two posts under general.
Thanks for responding <3
I feel like I'm an experiment. Or like, we all are.
