Hey dipshit the reason you don’t feel very attached to your gender norms is because you’re trans. Have fun living on hard mode lol. Also don’t accept drugs from that stranger in the parking lot because finding out their ulterior motives while high isn’t worth the free drugs…
His brother just died, the kid is currently at mom’s place, this is the first day in over a month he’s had a free moment between working overtime and going to his kid’s soccer games. Give the guy a break he goes back to work tomorrow because boss said “When my brother died it didn’t stop me from working if you aren’t here you’re fired”
For me, bouldering has helped a lot. If you already have chronic pain definitely talk with a doctor or physical therapist first though. If you aren’t paying attention to your body it’s also very easy for climbing to fuck you up more. It’s a great combo of core and back strength though that can really help with a lot of things
Sweden, to go back to game dev school
If everything goes well some time around august give or take I’ll be leaving the US
2025 is going to be very difficult for me but it’s hopefully transitory into better stuff. My entire social circle collapsed this year so I’m taking the opportunity to move to Sweden and hopefully go back to school. Don’t have to worry so much about leaving my friends and loved ones behind if I don’t have very many left lol
I think I’ve talked with my sibling twice in the last three years. They’ve gone off the deep end with right wing stuff and I just don’t have the capacity for it. It’s difficult to cut ties but sometimes it’s the way to go
My roommate and I used to date and I’m still in love with them. We’re making it work well but everything is messy
I went through a lot of therapy to get past my fear of telling people I love them and getting broken up with shortly after, the day I was going to tell my now roommate I love them they broke up with me out of nowhere. We didn’t even date that long and the breakup was nearly a year ago and it still hurts. I don’t have many regrets in life but not telling them sooner is one of them
I had lower surgery shortly after they broke up with me. I was so excited to have someone there for me emotionally and physically after surgery. Now I have nobody and I’m scared to have sex. I don’t know how to work past this and therapy hasn’t been helping
I just want to be able to connect with someone without the crushing weight of trust issues around every corner. I miss being with my roommate so much, one of the happiest and most exciting relationships I’ve ever had
Most everyone I know would pronounce them the same. The Pacific northwest hates pronouncing the letter ‘t’, either turning it into a ‘d’ sound, slurring past it, or at the end of words dropping it entirely
I’d also like to chip in that alcoholism is sneaky. Be careful with drinking
I’m not really sure what you mean by this but also your numbers aren’t even accurate to what I was saying?
What is the blurred part supposed to say? Why is it blurred?
I did what I was “supposed to” until about 3.5 years into college. Then I dropped out, bumbled around trying to find meaning in what jobs I managed to sporadically have, and spent time in my marriage. In my early 30s now, newly divorced, realized I fell into doing what I was supposed to again, and I’m done with it
I’m moving to another country, I’m liquidating retirement to pay for college. In some ways it feels like I’ve lost so much but in other ways it feels like I get a second shot at the life I want and this time I’m a lot wiser
I consider $100k to be minimum wage in Seattle. It was just enough to not be constantly money stressed as long as I was living modestly. I could see doctors, invest in hobbies, have choices in food, build savings/retirement. Could not eat out every day, buy a house any time soon, or impulse buy particularly expensive stuff. Any time I made less than $100k here I felt like I was always two steps behind, at about that salary my life stopped focusing on scraping by. I make more now and I feel like I’m actually thriving here. Still quite a difference in what I’d consider to be middle class though like there’s no way I can get a house here and I’d for sure be much worse off if I had kids
I get really excited about new furniture partly because I have odd taste that’s hard to find good stuff for
