I'm struck by how this portrait captured the precise emotions and request you shared in the headline - a perfect mix of heartbreak and apathy asking the universe for kindness - I hope one day very soon you can feel the compassion for yourself that I immediately felt upon seeing this portrait.
Invisibilia is one of my favorite podcasts that helps me to look at the world with wonder, new perspectives, and great empathy. This episode is about people who have had to start all over after devastating losses and how they got through or didn't. In the episode, a writing expert evaluated how writing changes when one is working through a depression:
> if you're having trouble coping, it's no good to just have a story, about what had happened to you that you keep repeating over and over again to yourself and everyone else. You have to step outside at some point and actively construct a new story. There had to be some moment, somehow, where you saw what happened to you as if you were the author writing about it, not the character living it.
>Taking the pieces that exist and rearranging them in some new way that puts the ghosts in the background, that matches the facts and lets you find a new place to stand in the world that you are actually living in.
Hey man I totally know what it's like.. I was in a similar place and lost all motivation.
I had to realise that there is no rational way to think your way out of your problems. Too much thinking is not going to help.
Have you ever tried meditating before? The Headspace app is great for beginners and might help..
Honestly, the way I understand it isn't that "God has a set plan and we all have to do exactly what he says". And if you commit suicide, then God "didn't care" No, it's more like, the universe is going to give you stuff, and if you go for it, you'll receive it. If you don't, then you won't.
Seriously though, life doesn't really owe us anything. We all suffer. My dad died at 49 of brain cancer, I was 20 years old, my littlest brother was 1. How is that fair? My dad was a really good guy! And yet there are people who do drugs up until the ripe old age of 90. Personally, I think that's bullshit.
I was pretty pissed off about the whole thing for years. Honestly, I think the thing that completely changed my perspective on my life was the book, "A Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankyl. You should read it. Reading good books is the one thing that pulled me out of having suicidal intentions. Friends didn't do it, family didn't do it, work made life worse. But somehow good books saved me. Idk, maybe you'll find a different way to make life better than what it currently is. I sincerely wish you luck, and that you can find peace.
Relax, sweet. I'm just going to assume you are female because of the username. That's actually good because females are more likely to listen to advice whereas men are a bit more stubborn and like to fix things themselves.
What you should try doing is looking at your world in a different perspective. I highly recommend you dedicate some meditation time in your schedule. Take some alone time in your room, you can dim the lights or whatever makes you comfortable. Perhaps put on some white noise or some kind of sounscape that makes you comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend visiting mynoise for a ton of sound generators that many students use to relax. (PM me if you'd like to get a patron account to be able to use the premium generators, you can use mine).
Sit on the floor, bed, whatever. Just get in a comfortable upright position and extend your arms and rest them on your knees as if you're making "completed circuit" with your body. Your energy will be able to flow all through your body.
There is an easy way to meditate. I would highly suggest the wim hof breathing method. There is a short tutorial here. It is important to clear your mind of everything. Just focus on the present moment and concentrate on feeling the energy from your breaths circulating from the outside world into your lung. You'll feel a tingling energy throughout your body. After a bit of this method you will feel a surge of euphoria and calmness. This next part isn't mandatory but it's great to do this anyways. After completing the routine you take a very deep breath through the belly and do as many pushups as you can without taking in air. Stop once you have to inhale. You will feel very much at peace.
Good luck :) PM if you need help or someone to talk to. Don't hesitate. :)
How about something like Habitica? Maybe having an external way to track your habits will help you see making progress all the way through, rather than having to wait for the end.
With respect to fitness, can you afford class passes or a gym membership? I find I’m way more likely to actually go if, say, I have 20 yoga classes I have to use up in the next three months. Once I get into a routine I’m a bit better, but to start off with, the motivation of “do this or your money has been wasted” is enough of a kick in the pants to get me started (and then I inevitably fall off the wagon, but that’s life. I just try to get back on as best I can and cut myself some slack).
It was given to me by a friend who didn't fit into it/didn't feel comfortable in it, so I don't know where it originally came from, BUT this amazon listing looks PRETTY close in cut (different color)
Honestly I've tried most of the expensive stuff Sephora has to offer and CVS was actually the solution - my favorite right now is Sun Bum! https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Bum-Revitalizing-Conditioner-Protection/dp/B00TUJW9L0
It can definitely weigh your hair down so just put it at the ends, a few spritz and then rub it in and done, looks just as good if you air dry vs blow dry.
Of course :) I think a lot of us hear the bad louder than the good when it comes to how we look. My hair is like the opposite of yours, it's very fine and I don't have much of it. It's also naturally curly, but I straighten it. It's also bright red atm. I get such shitty comments about it but fuck them, I like it! I style it in a way that keeps it looking a little thicker, and I'm happy. You clearly love your hair (as do many people, probably with a lot of envy) so if you're called plain, you should just ignore it. Do what you like. And if you do want some tinted lip balm, this stuff is the shit and comes in a ton of flavors/colors.
Case is 12 bucks on Amazon and I'd say it's quality is worth more!

Check out Meetup.com and see if there are any events in your area that interest you. Try taking a course that catches your fancy at a local college / university. Both activities bring together people who have similar interests and/or beliefs as yours, which is helpful to bond over / talk about. Also, you are cute! Lovely long hair
If you wear it to a wedding, I suggest using fabric tape on the dress so It’ll close higher and you won’t be showing any cleavage.
I use this tape and it works so well! One tiny piece will keep the cleavage covered all night.

Like you both, I deal badly with depression and anxiety too in which it feels like it never gets any easier. It’s one of these things that can effect you badly one day in which you might go days after feeling great, or have a string of bad days before hitting a good day. Whilst there’s all sorts of good advise out there in which I’m personally still seeking that one good thing that could potentially cure everything.. I suggest anyone reading this gets a copy of this book that taught me a lot of things regarding anxiety that I never knew. Hang in there folks, it’ll be ok ♥️
I found the same one on Amazon. Not entirely sure I ordered it it's been in my closet for years. It's like an enigma.

I use magnetic liner and lashes! I never could figure out traditional glue, so I opted for this one instead. If you get it, I hope it works well for you! :D https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084Z6T5FW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Send her the Celo Green song. You know the one. Good luck out there dating. Wtf is a "manly man" anyways? Does he bake? Does he decoupage? Does he collect rocks? Does he burn churches to make black metal videos? A man who identifies as a man is a masculine man. End of. Don't let that comment get you down. P.S- love your hair.
It's always nice to find another human who has suffered from religious trauma. Easily the most difficult and beautiful thing I've experienced; ever.
Your live today 11-Jan-2022, helped me smile. You're a good soul. You deserve whatever level of happiness your heart needs. You can control that.
If you haven't read it yet, or have...read it again. Two book series by Author Eckart Tolle. Message me a PO box and I'll send you copies if you'd like. The books are: "A New Earth" and "The Power of Now". I recommend them on Audible as the author reads them. You get a better sense of the meaning of the word he originally wrote.
That’s what I’m talking about as example of Oxford heels
Yup! Have a look at this website!
Every time you refresh it, it'll generate a fake face. These aren't real pictures of humans, these are never-before seen, made up on the spot by the AI.
Hey, it's ok to be friendly and outgoing. That doesn't make you an attention whore!
Your friends are your friends because they like you. You are a likeable person, and you have a choice to share yourself with them or not. Do you want to withhold what your friends like from them?
And if you want to make some new friends, you might look into joining some meetups or groups that you've never thought of before. Meetup.com has some great choices for so many things! I don't know if it's everywhere, but there's a good chance that there is SOMETHING like this in your area that could help you connect with other people.
You can do this! Get out there and share yourself with the people you already know like you with a quick "Hey, let's catch up" and one meeting with a new group. I bet just these two things in the next two weeks would have you feeling much better!
Aww! You're a cutie! Look, online dating is rigged. It's not a realistic system, and sets most men up for failure. I'm a lady, and I absolutely think online dating is not fair to guys. Get off of it. I can only tolerate it for about a month, and then I take a long break. I will tell you I have met far better partners IRL than online and it's better for my self-esteem too.
I don't know where you live, but when I got divorced I joined meetup.com. I met real friends there, and expanded my social circle doing cool and interesting things with cool and interesting new people. I did speed dating, which was a ton of fun, and all the dudes got in for free because there were always more women than men! My city also had a reddit socials board and local reddit meetup as well that was really well attended. If your area has one, I highly recommend going!
My main point is stop measuring yourself with the unrealistic standards of online dating. Get out and make real friends and expand your interests. It will build up your confidence, make you a great conversationalist, and you will be even more attractive than you already are! And the chances of you meeting another cutie out there who will see you as a person and not a profile are huge!
Good luck!!
Honestly bro, I wish you the best of luck. I would not hesitate to be your friend if you're open to that, even if it is just online.
Maybe some of these will help you or point you somewhere:
- A gym membership can provide you with a shower and place to change and spend your time getting stronger :}
- Maybe try a public library if you want a computer skill, try https://www.theodinproject.com/
(I'm taking a shot in the wild and assume you've ever been interested in coding)
- Idk what I can help with other than offering you spending free time chatting with you :}
☺️ aww. My friend just got her cats a catnip banana and they’re loving it. Maybe a lil house warming gift for the kitty.
They come in a bunch of shapes too, she say the love the banana but the rainbow is also popular.
You look cute. 😘
I don't see the balding issue, but if you do I suggest GNC Women's Ultra NourishHair on Amazon If you feel like your hair is thinning out or unhealthy. I just started it a month or so ago and I'm starting to see results. My some of my hair is coming in thicker, and thicker hair means stronger roots and less likely to fall out. It was recommend to me on Facebook in a fashion group I follow.
You’re so cute and those frames really suit you!
My partner uses an anti-fog spray when he wears a mask with his glasses. It’s usually good for 2-3 hours then he has to reapply.

You might to want to look at monitor stands that you can adjust. At least that way you can stand up which will help posture.

But you just need to find a way to fit in exercise into your day or you'll end up being another office slob lol.
I recommend a rather internationally unknown book. Addicted to Love, by Dutch writer Jan Geurtz.
It’s not a fix-all solution, but it helped me find a bit more energy from within.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meditation.elevenminute If you have problem finishing books then I would recommend meditation apps like these to meditate...
Meditation is just a position of concentration.
To meditate sit in one place like a chair, ground anywhere not too soft like bed it has to be somewhat hard surface. Make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and just concentrate on your breathing...
That's it, thats meditation. Seems easy but it's not 15-30 minutes feels like eternity. Experienced yogic can meditate for days... meditation helps you concentrate and focus and teaches you the importance of time.
Now the books and apps just tell you different ways on how to do it, but the essence and steps are just what I have mentioned above...
Haha yeah I was pretty bad at first too, but then I worked through this book which really helped:
https://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Draw-30-Days/dp/0738212415
Highly recommended for anyone else looking to get into drawing...
Sure! this one has caffeine to help de-puff too.
I mean, I'm sure it would look cute shorter too, I just like it a little shaggy!
Most women dig a unique stylish look and yours is cool brother. Also most people do not have life figured out, so its ok to feel the way you do. All you can do is perhaps pick one of the books on finding meaning & direction and hopefully you will find what you're looking for. Any book by Brian Tracy, Anthony Robbins or a book like Models by Mark Manson have helped me thru the journey. Meanwhile I hope you have a great time and keep that smile going man ����
Some of the quotes are from The Fifth Mountain: A Novel Paulo Coelho. I read that book multiple times. Also I would recommend 7 habits.
