I rarely get notifications here. It says I have one unread message. Probably just going to sit there forever since I can't even open it. Another glitch, I suppose.
Brown Acid said:If you break your legs in a fall, you just lie there on the ground waiting for help. But help never shows up. People just walk right over you, making things worse until you eventually just become part of the pavement they trample on.
Or better yet: stop waiting for some savior who isn't coming and just deal with it yourself. Why is that such a hard concept? It’s less pathetic than whining, and it gets the job done faster.
Look, it doesn't always have to be this bleak. We aren't clowns; everyone hits rock bottom eventually. You can't stay in the green forever. Sometimes you take a hit, and you just have to find the lesson in the wreckage. enough with the setbacks... get back up already!
Drink raw eggs, quit smoking, skip the iced drinks, and keep the volume down (especially in loud spots). And obviously, watch out for the whole vocal apparatus, not just the vocal cords.
I won't lie, starting this thread wasn't easy for me either, but damn, sister, we aren't alone in this. I pictured my younger self living a completely different life at this age. Mostly, I saw myself as a mother, but nope: college, career, nonsense, distractions—just a bunch of trivialities that ended up feeling like weights around my neck. And now thirty is knocking on the door. You have to let it in, unfortunately.
If there’s any truth to the idea that women need to have their first child before thirty—especially for their own health—then I’m officially panicking. I hit thirty in a month (god, that sounds grim), and suddenly this supposed rule doesn't apply to me anymore. If it actually is true? I just hope it won't be too late later on...
redtinker2, don't sweat it... you've got plenty of free time now to figure out your next move. These breaks can be a blessing, believe me. And that "friend" did you a favor in the end. Maybe you'll be a bit more careful about who you trust from here on out... Work? A passport and a way across the border... work whenever you want... whatever kind you choose... A guy? What even is a guy? 👋
