Someday I’ll focus long enough to accomplish something with my life, like publishing a book or finding true love. Until then, I’m just a dreamer.

@HDunn_Writer I don’t need any convincing. Three of my biggest supporters thru my struggles are all Catholics. (And I’d probably count you as a distant 4th since you’re always so kind when I start to spiral on this platform). I’m not ready to convert just yet but it’s tempting

@PenseeCorner Catholics won’t make you feel bad. We’ll give you wine and let you sit in silence.

Struggling with mental health my entire adult life has meant disappointing everyone around me. It’s wanting desperately to meet the needs of others but being unable to. It’s wanting desperately for others to meet your needs but they’re unwilling to because you’re a burden.

Elena Cot (Now guiding on Reactivity)
We’re about to see entire generations forced to 'start over' multiple times. As AI is slowly detaching identity from jobs, status, or the stable paths people built their meaning around, the future may belong less to people who 'made it' once and more to people who can reinvent themselves without losing who they are. Terrifying, because certainty disappears. Beautiful, because people may finally stop being trapped inside one version of themselves for life.

Can a 29-year-old start all over again?

@HDunn_Writer I’m discovering in hindsight I should have never even entered into such a relationship in the first place. I came into this world broken and never figured out the fix. People said Jesus would fix me but Christians just made me feel worse

@HDunn_Writer I was until I committed to marriage counseling. I didn’t think I could handle both concurrently so I quit selfishly trying to help myself to focus on salvaging a marriage. But that strategy backfired so I’ll probably try to do both now

@authormegbecker Women who thinks it’s revolting on the other hand… Who married men who would love to receive AND give on a regular basis… Not dangerous. Or addicting I hate myself

Do the people who start a post with “Unpopular opinion” do any research to find out if their opinion is indeed unpopular or do they just want us to believe they’re an edgy contrarian? I can’t count how many of these opinions I give zero f***s about

Any other men feel completely worthless in this world that requires men to know how to operate power tools and shoot guns and be super strong AND sensitive and have a brain that doesn’t tell you all the time what a loser you are. Just me?

@AnthonyLaFauci Careless Whisper by Wham! I can’t sing worth s**t but when George starts in “tonight the music seems so loud…” and ends with that super high “but now who’s gonna dance with me.” I am all in and practically injure myself on that high note

What is one part of a song that you have to sing whenever you hear it, no matter how terrible you sound doing it?

@deidrejowen My dad would do this Every. Effing. Time. “He’s alive!” I would hear any morning I dared sleep past 7. I’m convinced he shamed me into becoming an early riser the rest of my life no matter when I got to bed. My lifetime lack of sleep means I’ll be dead before 60. Thanks dad!

When I was a teenager, on the mornings I slept in my gran would greet me with “well, look who deigned to grace us with her presence!” Teens need more sleep than adults, and most don’t get enough. As a parent, I refuse to shame my exhausted teen for a rejuvenating sleep!

@SDDonovan I haven’t written it yet, but I had this crazy dream as an 8 year old that I still remember in vivid detail. One night something outside reminded me of that dream and I thought to myself: I wonder if anybody else has had the same dream. Boom! Story idea.

@HDunn_Writer I agree. I think people like to label themselves with pride because it’s come to mean “I’m such a unique person” or “look what I’ve accomplished despite my condition”. It’s annoying AF and insulting to people who really have these conditions

I’ve really grown to dislike the word “neurodivergent.” I think some of you just enjoy the label.

@SoundOFF13 Do you want the actual score or can I just make one up. What sport are we talking about. BTW-I’m a former Iowan exiled in Missouri, so I’m really no help

@NatashaCL7 I married somebody who assured me she’d be all in when we said I do and then I had to beg for affection on my honeymoon and pretty much in the 30 years since, including a 7-year drought because my mental health turned her off. Most everything is off limits. I hate myself.

This isn’t rocket science but, if you like having sex you should marry someone who enjoys it as much as you do. Men marry prudes and expect them to suddenly become enthusiastic in the bedroom. I hate to break it to you, but it usually doesn’t work that way.

I would rather be friends with someone I disagree with politically who never talks about politics than someone I agree with who can never shut the fuck up about politics.
