Every Friday, just say whatever is in your mind in this post. It doesn’t need to be a question, and go on whatever tangent you want to go on.
We will still be enforcing our rules on gendered slurs, bigoted/disrespectful/hateful commentary, invalidation (if someone’s only contribution is telling others they are wrong), medical issues, and relationship advice. However the comments don’t need to be on a specific topic, and they don’t need to be open-ended questions.

Father wound never heals.
Is it just me or are there so many low-effort, flaky people nowadays? Getting friends to meet for lunch/coffee feels like pulling teeth. Dates go well for the first couple, then everything falls to me to plan and organise. Everyone flakes out at the last minute leaving me hanging. It’s much simpler and peaceful to just do things on my own.
Those planks and bodyweight exercises that I hate have paid off. I was staining my porch yesterday with a brush instead of a roller and many times I was on my knees or one arm holding me up as I stained a tricky tight spot on the stairs under the banisters. 48 and only a little soreness too. I’m happy with that.
the news is wild these days…
Do I get to be here if I now identify as a trans man if I had 20 years of experience of being a woman?

I’m flying in 18 days and am already so stressed about the airport situation. Our flight leaves at 4:40pm and we are planning to be there around 10 am. Which means we have to leave at 8 am because it takes two hours to get to the airport.
I applied for a job last week, had a short over-the-phone pre-interview questionnaire thing on…Tuesday(?) last week. I think it went really well, but I haven’t heard back from them yet. I tried calling them 3 days ago to ask if I’m moving on to the actual interview and haven’t gotten a response. Their phone system directory was weird and I could only leave a voicemail if I had a question that was unrelated to buying stuff. So, safe to say, I don’t think I got the job.
On the other hand, I moved my cannabis plants to new pots (empty sour cream cups) because they were getting too big for their egg carton. Considering this is the first successful plants I’ve **EVER** grown, I’m super proud. Like I couldn’t grow beans for a science class in high school.

Why does it seem like the worst people have the best self-esteem?
A couple of roses is all that’s needed to get me being an ace flirt
I don’t like the woman I am/have become over the past few years. I know it’s up to me to change. I don’t even know who I am anymore.
