Watch Building the Band too <3
Heh, true, I haven't forgotten
But haven’t done it ;)
Meh, slow process. 😜
I still gotta finish Abbott Elementary and Superstore
Never heard of them
You should see Abbott Elementary, it's really good
It sounds like it would be Rick and Morty style lol
Lol, it's not at all. Its live action, about a mostly black elementary school, and it's got a lot of humor with some mostly-light drama, and it focuses on the teachers. Superstore is a drama about what's basically supposed to be Walmart workers, but the store is called Cloud9. That show has a lot more raunchy humor, but it's still pretty wholesome too.
I prefer Anne With an E. Hehe
Have you watched The Wild Robot yet?
I haven't
BRO.
What's cool about it? I know nothing. 😅
It’s an animated movie with beautiful scenery <3
Heh, ok, definitely a plus
Struggling :(
Tor? I really need a hug… please…
hugssss I'm here, what's going on?
Things are better. Thank you <3 It’s a long story
Ok... Well I'm glad things are better! ☺️
Me too :)
You GOTTA watch the show if you don’t wanna be confused lol
Lol, you assume I have much time for it. 😅
If something’s important to you, you can make time lol
Its hard to in the evening. It might be a little better if I could watch it at work.
Can you watch videos there?
Occasionally, at the end of the day
Then watch Conor’s audition in BTB on YT. He’s cute hehe
Lol, k 😆
You disappeared from the group chat lol
Nah, I just can't reply to everything. I was overwhelmed a little. Still very tired today too... Weather changes and not enough sleep
I’m sorry… Overwhelmed by what?
Eh? No need to be sorry. 😁 I was doing a lot of messaging yesterday, and then there were multiple full-on discussions on our other room. That wasn't a problem though. I was having to explain things to a friend, and that was an all day headache with him.
Other room?
Was it the friend with the problem relationship?
No, a friend who has trouble understanding that all problems in this world don't come from liberals.
Funny that you mention that friend though, we hung out at the bar last night. The talk we were all going to have with him... His family beat us to it. His reaction was to call friends who were especially offended and apologize, then he had some kind of long discussion with her, and then he talked with his kids about their feelings about her. From what he tells me, everything went really well. There's a lot of details to that. He hasn't broken up with her and I'm a little skeptical, but I was straightforward about my concerns and let him know that my position is that I just want things to be good for everyone.
Idk anything about politics, so I don’t even know what liberals are. Lol
I’m glad things are at least somewhat better. Maybe?
Lol, I envy that... I've had to spend too much thought on politics. Liberals are Democrats, or the political left.
I hope that they are. I at least feel like my friend's reaction was a good one... I just hope she's not taking advantage of him
I don’t even know what that means either lol
Hopefully.
Ok, I really really envy you now. 😂 I wish I didn't have to think about any of it
No one says you have to. <3
Unfortunately I do. I couldn't avoid it if I tried, and there's so much hate going on... If I don't try to be an influence for unity and ending cycles of abuse, then I'd feel like part of the problem for the evil that keeps happening. That said, I'm exhausted of humanity...
What are you doing as a force for good?
Trying to discuss things like an adult mostly. I get into a forum or something, not too often, but just when I think it makes sense to weigh in. I might get sassy, but I don't go in like a keyboard warrior foaming at the mouth... I want to send messages that help against the divide between groups, or at least get people thinking about how all the hatred is hurting things. A lot of times it's better to leave it alone, but sometimes I see an opportunity to try.
Cool <3
Yeah..
Hm?
I dunno, just losing steam.
I went to a seafood buffet, went to the movies, and then I wrote a poem.
Awwww can I see? <3
Ahahaha... Maybe I'll share a different one soon. 😅 I'd like to show you, but there's no way to edit that one down. I feel like cups has been very gracious to allow me to post the kind of poems that I have.
I really want to write a beautiful one soon... I need to balance my craft more.
More emotional than anything?
More emotional? I don't know if my last one was emotional, so much as messed up and creepy. Kind of like horror, just graphic, and showing a dark side of humanity. It was inspired by the movie "Him" that I watched last night at the theater. It had vibes like that too, though it was pretty entertaining and funny too, outside of the largely incoherent creepiness and horror. I'm glad I watched it, but I dunno if I'd watch it again, and unsure if I'd really recommend it.
Please no horror. lol
Lol, I know, it's not for everyone. It straight up helps me sleep at night. That's the weird thing.
You ARE a strange one. Hehe jk
This coming from the girl who once found metal relaxing. :P
Lol, it's true though.
And metal can be relaxing. I find it a lot more relaxing than pop or country.
True.
I hate men. And love them. I don’t understand any of this. How can I wanna be with a man when they make my stomach clench in disgust???
I don't really have an eloquent answer. Have any guys ever been really good to you overall in terms of dating?
Yeah. One especially… I almost married him.
I think I’m at a place where… I’m ready for change. I can’t share it all here… But I feel more… idk. Can I feel clear while also feeling foggy? Less overwhelmed while being completely overwhelmed?
I’m ready, Tor. Idk what all I’m doing. I’m just… doing.
That does kinda make sense. That's good! ❤️ You're doing, and that's the part that matters. Its not always clear. Kinda like a story that reveals itself as you write it.
It’s a journey of lessening or removing things, people, even whole mindsets, from my life…
One is giving myself a bit of a break from the fast paced posting I’ve been doing. Another is clearing out all my notifications that have been weighing on me… I want to clear out my emails as well, and start reading through and clearing out the books that feel like they’re from a different life.
That makes sense, I've been having to reply less and let some things go too. Its been overwhelming lately. But about the books, why do they feel like they're from a different life?
They’re not me anymore. They’re adult fiction and nonfiction, but I’m into kids’ and YA fiction (especially historical fiction) now.
Ah, I see. That kinda makes sense. Just don't slog through too much on stuff you really don't wanna read
I plan to start them, then set them aside if I don’t absolutely love them.
He didn't seem that good in the end... But there were more good experiences though?
Very. He’s the one reason I have a spark of hope that life might still exist…
Love*
Hm, I didn't expect you to say that... I'm glad that there's still that positive spark though.
Why didn’t you expect it?
He caused you a lot of pain also... I just hadn't forgotten. But being able to see the positive aspect is a good thing
I’m too negative with you. And focused on me and not you.
That's not exactly a fault of yours though. Like, we're all here for support on some level, and I'm glad to be part of yours. Also, I don't usually share much... 😅 Maybe I should sometimes... I'm not always doing so well...
Share. <3
I called out today... I barely slept. Dog woke me up at like 3am... Also feel like I'm just taking care of sensitive people and those who don't pull their weight all day anyway. I needed a break...
Also, I'm just really starting to feel like evil always wins. I'm sure part of my insomnia is losing sleep over how brainless and toxic people are acting in current events. I've deleted a couple of people over it, because I just can't stand how much they want to point fingers...
I TOTALLY feel the first section.
Hey, deleting is good <3
Is it? I deleted a guy I used to go get sushi with every month...
I really have given up on him as a person with what he's posted though.
Dude… I had someone call me a sheep within the last few years and I had to block him.
Yeah, I don't blame you. People love to throw that word around when someone believes something that they don't. Its really toxic.
It’s weird because he seemed so nice otherwise.
Why did he call you that? Sometimes people just get super insensitive when they're fired up...
Idk even. It’s been years.
Well, you didn't deserve to be called that whatever the case
Right?
I just sneezed on my phone.
Oh no. I hate boogery screen. 😂
I'm worried. I sneezed hard the other day, and it felt like something ripped in my lower right abdomen. It hurts still, mostly if I cough or sneeze.
Would you PLEASE go to the doctor????
Its probably an abdominal muscle. I can't just skip out on work for appointments (or afford them) unless I really need them. It seems to be getting a little better, I just need to stop sneezing...
Bro.
I think I'll be ok, like, it has been getting better and I haven't gone septic. 😅
Don’t be a man.
Unfortunately I have to. 𫤠Too many people depend on me. It doesn't seem to be an emergency... I'm just a little afraid of sneezing now. Like, Ive always sneezed HARD. My body won't sneeze softly
Lol same XD
We should have someone taking care of us sometimes 😅 it gets exhausting
This. So much this. :(
Would we just get restless and start doing stuff anyway?
Yep. If I had a maid, I’d start organizing. Lol
Lol, I'd be ok letting go of dishwashing at least.
Guess what I did on and off all day XD
What's that?
Reread it. Lol
Lol organizing or dishes?
Dishes lol. We legit almost ran out. That’s how behind we got lol
Ugh, I need to do dishes and clean the guinea pig cage and walk the dog tonight. I've been slacking on all three. And I'm so exhausted that I feel borderline sick.
Why can I not stop overeating???
And I did a lot and did nothing at the same time lol
I overate AGAIN. Why?????
I’m very overwhelmed and overstimulated. And I’m home! Ugh
