@EllyOnTheGo One thing that's struck me as a bit weird is, it's easy to find stuff, online and off, about getting over relationships ending but relatively few about friendships which, arguably, can be just as difficult if not more so to get through.
I'm glad you've realised it's for the better, though! Onwards and upwards, hopefully π
@process heat their homes, obvs. Can't actually hear my home either unless I've left the TV on...
@ellesu thank you, Addie π
@process Just in time for the We're Not Even Allowed To Call It Christmas Anymore period!
@process I think they might be surprised just how many other people also don't get to realise their dreams, some of which are far more basic like not having to worry about where their next meal is coming from or how they can afford to hear their homes..
I've mentioned recently(ish) about a friendship breaking up in a pretty bad way, had a bit of an epiphany about it today which makes it a lot easier to deal with.
The way it ended, I didn't really understand it because it didn't gel with what I knew of the other person.
Today it struck me that, if I didn't really know them (which, the more I think about it, the truer it seems), then I didn't really lose what I thought I lost.
@process Tangentially (AI), I found this earlier today, which I thought was really good...

Ima teacher now, thatβs mostly what I post about here. But once upon a time I was the director of a womens clinic that did abortions. I feel SO strongly I often dont say anything. Like I cant show up as a clinic escort locally cause Im too volatile, I canβt be what clinics need in escorts, I cant be calm.
If YOU can be calm, non violent, not escalating, your local clinic NEEDS you to show up.
States have different orgs coordinating escorts. From my clinic days: you WILL make a difference.
@JV3MJD Always someone else's fault... π

@KarenSohne no idea - it's not my hand π
I mostly do nerdy stuff with computers and music
