looking for pen pal
heyy, im looking for a friend to chat:)
im 24f from Germany, currently a bit stuck in life and a bit lonely.
I love caring for my indoor plants, and listening to music (mostly indie/hiphop/pop), im starting to do yoga and try to go jogging form time to time.
feel free to reach out if you wanna chat
@raymond1203 startin a fresh thread... btw solved the keyboard issue haha it works again:)
*** yeah dude fixing the keyboard counts as a win! good work
@raymond1203 yeah im glad it works again, i should get a laptop but they are expensive.... i think someday ill buy a used one, but for now the tablet wrks just fine. Well yes i finished tutoring, but its alredy evening here too, he still have some time difference:)
i actually need to get a keyboard and mouse for my new tv lol that’s weird to me but i just got a prompt to attach a keyboard and mouse to access some things.
this is def the time of year to make electronics purchases like that. today is cyber monday lol it’s black friday but online. supposed to be crazy good sales but i dont see anything that great. everything is super expensive now. i went to the pharmacy for shampoo/conditioner/body lotion/face lotion/hand lotion and i spent like $75. i try not to worry about the price of things. either i get it or i dont. it doesn’t help me to worry about that kinda stuff. i used to worry A LOT lol but it is soooo draining. i’m very lucky that i don’t have to pay attention to it thaaaat much lol but still those are really high prices.
@raymond1203 wow thats really expensive, i think if id buy the cheap stuff of all that i could get away with like 10 maybe 15 €... but only with the cheap options lol. its weird to need a keyboard for a tv, never seen that haha. but it can be practical sometimes, i find typing on a tv annoying when serching something on netflix or something. my day was fine, just gettin ready for today now:) hope you have an okay day at work today
heyyy how ya feeling today? i feel asleep too too early lol but waking up surrounded by the kittens has been amazing lol i’m back to work today 😭😭😭 pto always goes by too fast lol
is today a busy day for you??
@raymond1203 heyy not its actually not a buisy day at all today.
Falling asleep early is great i think. you get lots of sleep and (hopefully) have no trouble waking up early (i really hate that), normally i cant get asleep really early, even if i have to get up early. and waking up with kittens sounds obviously like the best thing ever:) just fineshed a little run. nothing special really, but i didnt go for a while so im glad i did it. also i think i discovered new music: metal. never heard that much before lol but i needed motivating music. last time i was jogging it went really bad, i had no motivation and was frustrated, so i asked a friend that likes metal litteraly for music reccomendations that scream at you agressively hahahah. its good music tho lol.
heyyy friend! i’m walking home from work and wanted to say hi and i hope ya had a good day
🙂
@raymond1203 heyy sorry i didnt answer sooner, had an okay day yesterday, sounds like you had a good day too (hope so) at work being productive! its true what you say you gotta stay active working or something. i think cuase im not really doing that my manteal health went down a bit in general, so its true... but ill get better eventually. i have the wohle afternoon with tutoring again, hows your day? i guess youre working?
NOW my day is beginning lol i just woke up and put on music and gave the kittens a couple treats. spade let me pick him up and hold him like a baby 🥰🥰🥰
i def miss working early mornings. waking up before the sun and getting stuff done made me feel so productive. but i found a new routine and it’s working for me.
i hope you had a great day today
what happened yesterday…are you feeling ok?
✌️😎
@raymond1203 heyy nothing really happened, sorry if i made it sound like it just an average day lol. im okay, had tutoring which was good.
I hate getting up early lol. like really hate. i get that mornings are nice and all and its nice to be productive early but i just cant get up lol. but good for you lol. How are you today? working fom 1-10 is pretty late isnt it?
btw spotify wrapped is out have you seen ? whats you top song?
heyyy. i just got home from work. i am off tomorrow 💪😎 lol
i want to start decorating tomorrow but let’s see if i will be lazy instead haha overall my day was good. nothing worth complaing about lol pretty chill day
hbu how’s your day going? got anything planned?
@raymond1203 hey i just got ready for the day. i dont thnki youd know anyone of my top artists/ songs, giant rooks is my top artist, i reccomended them to you before but they are not THAT famous expecially outside germany (although thy tour worldwide)
chill day sounded good, so youre gonna decorate today huh? i think youll be glad if you get it over haha. my brothers birthday is at this weekend, hes preparing for his party. I have to bake a cake for him and have to decide (and mybe even start baking) today, but still have no idea on what to do lol. we bake eachother a cake everytime and we both are relatively good bakers so is has to be something nice... ahhh but i dont now i alwys have troble dciding what to do. gonna go to pinterest and gest some inspo now
omg i am so indecisive with a lot of things. that is so cute that you and your brother had a tradition like that. i have been baking a lot this year. i’m not very good at it. i’m a basic bi.tch 😂 just stuff out of a box lol it started as something to do to occupy my free time and my mind bc i overthink with too much free time. it’s been fun 🙂
what are some cake ideas you have?
do you want to make his favorite cake…or try something new and different?? i’m just trying to offer questions that might help with deciding. i hope im not being too intrusive or anything.
wow you have a good point. i will feel better when the house is decorated. i honestly did not think of that lol
@raymond1203 wow youre early. Baking is very good to keep yourselve occupied! ecen if its just simle stuff. We usually try to do something different every time and i dont think he really has a fevorite cake. Buttttt... i already have decided what im gonna do lol, was fast this time, thanks to pinterest. im gonna do a red velvet cake, wanted do try it for some time, but i thought it was a little ramdom until i saw a recepie for like cookies with meringue(?) that look like a chritsmas hat. so its like a chrismas-hat themed cake haha i dont know if its the same in the us but tomorrow is st. nicholas day and the christmas hat is typical for him so it fits good. gonna head to the supermarket soon to get the ingedients soon
i might seriously steal your red velvet ideal hahaha i’m sorry bud it’s a great idea lol maybe i’ll do cupcakes that look like santa idk but i really really like that idea
maybe ill do some red velvet santa’s and some vanilla snowmen cupcakes. i haven’t done cupcakes yet and i just got new pans lol
@raymond1203 omg i loveeee the idea of the cupcakes, thats honestly even better then a cake as a christmas hat.the christmas days are similar here but we have st. nicolas as a smaller day extra. its mostly just for little kids. the ingredients are similar to the ones for a normal cake, aslmst never use the pre made cake mixes so just flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, baking powder etc... plus food dye for the red velvet now ofc. hard to find good food dye honestly, i need a lot of read and had to buy two packages of 4 colours nor which are relatively expensive but wwhaterver. i just have 6 tubes of food coloring which im prorbably never gonna use. never had red velvet cake so far so i hope it turns out good:)
Tomorrow my brother is at vacational school im gonna bake it then, but i have only time till afternonn cause i planned part 2 of a harry potter marathon with two friends haha
hp marathon with friends is a reallly fun time. it’s been a few years since i watched any but i used to loooove hp movies around xmas time lol your cake sounds way better than my fake box bullc.rap lol
i am so tired today 😭 lol
hows ur day going??
heyyy…i hope you’re doing ok. hope you had a good week.
✌️🙂
@raymond1203 heyy replying here, other post got very full.
Happy new year first of all, hope cou got well into the new year. I looked up the parade you were talking about , had no idea they do something like thaat for new years. It kinda looks exactly like karnival here and in other countries. idk if theres karnival in the us but here there also parades in many cities with big "cars" with peple partying onit, everyone is dressed as somethingmostly funny and there are many carnical clubs that also take it very seriously and prepare for it the whole year, so i guess it kind of similar maybe? you could look up carnical parade e.g. in cologne if youre interested. Its definetly a bit weird too but its tradition and people really enjoy it.
Did you make new years resolutions for the next year, or dont you like that?
hope you are doing good, did you go back to work already or do you go there tomorrow? here totay is free and life starts again at the 2nd january haha
heyyy happy new year!! i am home relaxing lol my holidays were nice. spent time with the family lol kids got me sick. i am back to work but my schedule is light. more days off. actually i think they are getting ready to fire me. it’s been weighing on me a lot recently but i feel like there’s rly nothing i can do. it feels pretty set in stone. def has me feeling like a failure.
but i can stress it too much. just gotta get out there and find a new job. i know it won’t be as good or pay as good but ill be fine either way. sometimes this stuff happens i guess.
karnival sounds exactly like what the mummers do. there are many parades today but the mummers are a philly thing lol i’m def gonna look that up. it sounds awesome.
@raymond1203 hmmm sorry to hear that, i hope youre wrong... but either way you will find something new and go on, oventhough it could be hard first.
have fun at the parade, must be funt to watch:)
ill go and clean up my messy room and maybee get tarted in life again lolll. weather is great actually today since a longer time of *** weahte, i could go for a run but i have a little bit of a cold so idk
thank you. yes it is very upsetting. i feel like a failure again. i think im going to speak to a professional. it’s hard controlling my emotions.
i did not go to the parade. i watched on tv for a little. i have been home worried sick about work. we’ll see how it goes tomorrow bc im off again today. i will try to get outside and go to a store.
how are you feeling?? our weather was surprisingly great also. it felt like spring for a couple days
@raymond1203 ahhh that sucks worriying and having nothing to do is the worst. feel hugged.
idk. felt good lately but also have been compleately ignoring life which is not good. wasnt produkctive at all with preceeding with uni or something. My parents ignored it over the holidays too but my dad just said we will really have to talk... so itll be bad and ill have no excuse and also no clear solution.... so i guess i can wait with you till it goes down. i hate it. i hate that i got myselve like that. and i have no excuse. you can fail etc, it happens, but just not getting your life (a career, education) togetehr is just NOT an option and i still chose to do it lol
i know how ya feel. it’s very very stressful. it’s the basic stuff i struggle with and i could never understand why.
it sounds like you have an amazing family. i’m sure no matter what your dad willl love you and support you
my dad is an addict so we don’t talk anymore
you absolutely got this homie! don’t feel sad don’t beat yourself up. you’re amazing being who you naturally are. just do whatever makes you happy.
im gonna sleep for a little more. what’s with the weird creepers in our chat lol
@raymond1203 you absolutely got this homie!
hope its okay im still dumping my "stress" on you when you have real problems and worries. i understand if you don wanna read it from time to time or dont have the capacity for understanding words.
"don’t feel sad don’t beat yourself up. you’re amazing being who you naturally are. just do whatever makes you happy." idk. ik youre trying to encourage me and just being nice, but i feel like i HAVE to beat myself up. cause if i dont and just do what i want eacht day, ill ingore life forever and lay in bed scrolling on ***. but i also know just feeling bad wont help me too much too so idk. i dont hav a productive way to deal with myself lol. and i hate it. it could be so easy if id be more motivated and productive from small on. but well here i am doing noting.
trying to kick myself outta this depression but i am
stststststruggling lol gonna put on some music and go for a walk. fingers crossed i start to feel better soon.
i think i found a therapist to talk to threw my insurance but im nervous as f/uck to make the appointment
it is allllways ok to “dump your stress” onto me. that’s exactly what i am here for. i say that but i still feel guilty for doing it hahaha
you are right. you have to be hard on yourself a bit. it’s very hard finding the healthy amount lol i am extremely hard on myself. it is what helped me quit drinking and get my life together. but now it is causing me problems.
what are some ideas you have for productive ways to deal with yourself??
if there’s anything i can do to help motivate i’m right here homie!!
no matter how difficult it is you seem extremely smart and i believe you will find your way 🙂🙂
@raymond1203 ohh its great you found a therapist! i get that youre nervous, but like, you can also be nervous in a good way, the therapist could really help you and make you feel way better! so its kinda exciting, althoug i know it its work.
Did the walk help? i alway find it helpful get the mind a bit clearer, bonus points if youre walking in the woods.
honestly i didnt find really good ways to deal with me, i had some ideas but alway couldntbring myself to do it cause i was to insecure and dindt know exactly how... woke up soo tired today but im just starting so maybe itll get better, i think i got a cold on nye or something. when it started yesterday i first thought ill have a second day of hangover lolll
@Keineahnung123 heyy how are you? Just checking in, hoping youre fine
hey friend. i’m doing ok. we got snow today! i think it’ll be around 3-6 inches so nothing terrible just annoying to walk to work in lol how are you. how is your new year??
is it ok with you if i start a new chat for us? i keep losing the messages lol
Yes ofc. We had snow yesterday too:) neu year ist okay yet, cant really say anything yet
