pixeltree, i always see you saying these things. but why? what's the story, if you don't mind me asking :3
(you can also DM me in case you want to)
How is that a scary story? That’s how all decent people operate.
Oh no, god forbid you choose a little bit of meaningfull solitude over being connected everyday, all of the time
"who rests, rusts" and similar bullshit are prohibiting it xD
'Go home' is pretty much all I've ever wanted to do.
Me, yesterday.
Long-ish day at school, my girlfriend went to friends for karaoke. I had the option of either going with her, going to table tennis practise, or go play Magic at our LGS for FNM.
I chose option D: stay home, smoke weed, watch YouTube, and play video games. Really needed it.
As I get closer to 50 years old I begin to understand this. I still choose to go out most days but I start to see the appeal of just... Not.
I want to own a library adjacent a bakery that I run which also serves Frappachinos and is open between 6pm and 6 am (no other of either is open past 6pm in this area) but I can't do that for one really big reason: MONEY, and one smaller reason: realtors never call you back.
I also want to open the following manufacturing facilities: Cetyl Alcohol, Propionic Acid, and lastly Semiconductor grade silicone powder. Stills and vats are easy enough after the red tape, but quartz crushers, seperation cells, and furnaces are a bit harder to come by.
You've described paradise. I hope you're able to make this happen.
Edit: I read the first half of your comment and then responded. But I guess manufacturing is good, too.
And you'll be happy doing that
Not necessarily
Lol "chose anything you want."
On the plus side, you can get a pie and eat it all yourself.
This works with cake, too...uh... according to my friend, who told me.
Me, a kid who spent most of my time home alone: Why is this a scary story?
be me: loses 98 lbs.
"fuck yeah I feel great"
gets trendy haircut to make it look like I don't have thin hair
"fuck yeah I feel younger"
gets news glasses and clothes
"fuck yeah I LOOK great"
goes out to bar to see if I catch attention
gets attention
thinks: "fuck yeah, I'm in the game."
freezes
goes home
So yeah. I like home. Home is safe.
That’s a success story.
Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn. That happens outside the comfort zone. Uncomfortable emotions will come up and they will pass.
Succeeding on the first try shouldn’t be expected. Try again.
Safe spaces is not where you grow and learn
imagine pinning that up at your local school ...
that would cause a shitstorm for sure. and they'd be right.
I mean hey, congrats on the weight loss. Nothing wrong with looking good for yourself.
Thanks! Yeah. I wish I could say it was hard. But wegovy was easy. I'm weaning off of it too, and so far no weight has come back.
Modern medicine is a marvel. I'm starting semaglutide too and so far it's having a huge effect on my habits, but I haven't lost too much weight yet.
It takes a bit. I didn't really start losing weight until 1.7mg dose. I went up to 2.4mg originally but I lost 10 lbs in two weeks so they brought be back to 1.7 for a month or two before bumping me back to 2.4mg /week.
Now, weaning off of it, I'm at 2 weeks between 2.4g doses. Then it will be 3. If I still don't lose weight, then I win.
And it will be more glorious than you can imagine.
Oh to be able to choose
Do you guys feel like you're the same people you were when you were kids? I feel like there's a direct connection between me now and me as a teenager (over 20 years ago) but a break between me now and me as a pre-teen who wanted to go out and do things instead of sitting at a computer all day.
Bro I can't remember what I was doing this time last year
Hm... I have no way to measure. All I've wanted for as long as I can remember was to be mostly left alone to enjoy my computer.
I figure I'll grow out of it shortly after I retire.
I feel like that guy didnt have a group of wolves waiting for you to fuck up so they could tear you to bits.
Can confirm. Hell is other people. At least 75% of the people I live around.
That low? Goddamn you’re lucky
Can confirm.
That would not have scared child me. Child me would be delighted she wasn't been dragged to various things her mother wanted her to do.
Jokes on you, that's all I wanted to do as a kid anyway. Livin' the dream!
“Whatever you want within what you can afford.” And staying home alone is cheap.
My chances of unlawful arrest are less at home. Not zero….but less.
And I hate myself for that 😁
Hey hey hey. I'm sure there are much better reasons to hate yourself
True dat, friend ❤️
You can't hate yourself into self-acceptance.
Practice kindness.
"I am allowed to rest and chill, life is draining."
And at the same time you should consider making plans to do small things just to get out of the house. Planning them ahead will make them more concrete and if you want to you can always bail on them later.
Start with the smallest steps like going for a walk.
That's what I want to do most of the time.
me too thanks
Scary story? More like the happy ending my guy
