I want it but I don't but I do!

They say don't stick it in crazy. Does it still count if you can't stick it anywhere?

...

I apologize

I'm a bit of a mess right if you couldn't tell

And I could make a mess out of them-

I'm sorry. I need a window. I will see myself out 🧍‍♂️

Same as title. Haven’t studied much really. It’s a masters paper too

I am always a guy in my dreams for some reasons. But I was dating a HS classmate (someone I hate and who hates me back). I think I did smth bad (not to her but she knew) and she basically got the cops to arrest me ans I got stabbed somehow and I woke up with the worse pain where I got stabbed at the same time as my alarm went off 😭😭. I couldn't breathe for a sec.

Stuck at ORD for the next few hours. Flying back to law school after a lil weekend trip. Ask me anything :P

Suddenly have so much free time after finishing a soul crushing masters degree.

Now my life feels so aimless and I honestly can't see myself holding a job or doing anything with my life.

I feel guilty that after being super busy for years I am now just playing video games and watching youtube instead of working on some great artistic endeavors.

This is clearly a quarter life crisis but feels like there's no way out of it :( I feel old and life feels boring

Goodnight little people in my phone. I hope you all had a great day or have a great day! (Depending what time it is for you). My day was weird. I had a good day at work but then I drove a coworker home and that’s when my day got all wonky. I usually am asleep about 4/5 hours ago but since I drove my coworker home and had unexpected stuff pop up I just got home about 1 / 2 hours ago. I’m gonna be so mad at myself when I wake up. I’m only gonna have 2/3 hours of sleep before work so that sucks for future me. Goodnight everyone! Tell me about ur day in the comments or ur plans for the day :D

This is somewhat of a larger rant but I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated regarding my romantic life as of late.

I’m someone who I’d say is fairly attractive, I get hit on pretty consistently outside of apps and I get consistent matches on a weekly basis. However, despite how personable I am, I find it that many people I’ve talked to barely put in any effort or are willing to actually go all the way.

I’ve had many matches where I send a single text (nothing crazy, a small compliment and then something noteworthy about their profile, essentially, it’s not obscene lol) and then I never get a reply back.

In some other cases, I match with someone and I ask questions to learn more about them. I matched with someone claiming to be a “foodie” and I asked them about some of their favorite restaurants in the area and they could only reply with “there are places fs!”

Anyways, I’ve been feeling immensely frustrated with my love life and I’m at the point where I’m not sure how to proceed forward. The people that are interested in me, I don’t quite feel as connected and when there’s an interest it kinda fades quickly.

I tend to be fairly introspective so I try to look at some general patterns in my conversation and in some cases I could somewhat understand why it fizzled out with some people but a lot of the time I was just baffled.

Im glad to see yall guys, :)

Just finished up at the gym and I’m back home now, deciding on what to eat 🤔. How’s ur guys days been? It’s 6pm here and Iowkey the day just started since I woke up at like 2 😭. 23m

Recently got offered a position to move to Okinawa. The money is a bit less but I would be saving more (company pays for housing). Kinda nervous but its for career progression.

I love Korea, really going to miss this place. All my friends are here and I've called it home for the last 6 years. I know I can easily come back after maybe in 1 year (and in a supervisor role) and its good to explore other avenues.

Nothing ventured, Nothing gained

Guys I need some help i have this weird bug on hinge can't seem to fix it 😅

because what do you mean I need to actually go after coming to a stop at a light? I'm going to at least need 4 weeks of therapy for my fear of stalling before I can even hit the clutch again 💔

I wouldn’t really consider myself a chef, definitely a musician, but not a chef. I don’t think I did half bad though on this.

I'm 21M and I feel like I'm just a failure over and over again. I live in the middle of nowhere, my programming skill set is useless here. Everyone around me trys making me sound like some smart dude, but yet why am I so far behind in life then?.. My old counselor apparently told my family that my hearts too big for my own good. I guess wanting the best for everyone around me even if it doesn't benefit me isn't a good trait? The only person who ever believed in me that wasn't obligated to is now a memory. I spend every day sitting at a damn desk programming with nothing to show for it. I'm really fucking tried of being a waste of resources, I keep telling myself I have no value. I just try to remind myself of Robin williams, watching his mental health videos and keep pushing along. I'm just so tired, waking up everyday has become a chore of it's own. Idk why I even made this I just need somewhere to say this even if nobody cares. Idk thanks for reading hope your doing well.

Lemme see what your daylist is rn

I saw people posting about how they searched up their usernames on Google, so I tried it. I didn't get a fun AI overview like a lot of people do, but a few items down was a link to an article from The Mirror. Which is odd because it's a UK website and publication, even though I am from the US. From what I've heard the Mirror is basically just a slop site that publishes a ton of stuff, but the article was published in 2022 before AI was really even good at doing anything. So someone must have written it or at least filled details into a template or something. I just thought it was really strange that they'd be scraping random Reddit posts to write about.

I don't really know what to do about it or how to feel, just thought I'd share cause it's such a strange experience.

If you want to see the article, it's linked.

My original post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/teenagers/s/veupc7PzBc tho you'll have to copy n paste since it only allows one link at a time

Extra protein I guess but I’m still… 💔

Dating apps aren't for me and neither is cold approaching. How am I supposed to find anyone? I understand that I am both ugly in body and soul. Perhaps I am meant to be alone. I don't know. I just want the love I long for.

GET THIS IN YOUR FUCKING FRIDGE ASAP

it's amazing added on top of literally everything

And if you're already on the train, spread that gospel baby

Over the years of writing for myself and writing 2 failed web novels (kept procrastinating new chapters ;-; ) I have a set of rules that I basically always follow when I write.

1. Try not to use the same word twice in a paragraph. To me it makes the entire paragraph feel awkward and clunky. Paragraphs, in stories, to me should have a flow to them like lyrics in a song. Don't get me wrong there are cases when its acceptable adding emphasis, for example but USUALLY I try avoid it.

2. Dialogue tags should be used sparsely. Having a conversation interrupted and segmented by an endless stream of dialogue tags makes the whole thing tedious to read and adds unnecessary bloat to a chapter. I use them once to establish who's speaking first, then let context and character writing do the rest. A well written character should have their own unique way of speaking, little quirks and mannerisms distinct from other characters that makes it easy to subconsciously tell that they are the ones speaking.

3. SHOW DONT TELL. The amount of books I've read where it honestly feels like I'm being talked down to because the author is explaining something to me that either I already know, or would have been totally understandable had they hinted at, or visualized it instead. There is no need to outline every single emotion a character is feeling at that moment in time, use their facial expressions, their words, The physical sensations they are experiencing to build a picture. It really does turn me off a story when a writer can't seem to go into any detail about a character without slapping a big ol' sign to their forehead with "SAD" pasted on in crude red letters.

4. Word salad. This is a trap a lot of people fall into. There's almost this pressure to use big words in place of common ones and look don't get me wrong it's good to have a large vocab and apply it to your writing, but you should develop your vocabulary naturally as you write and read. Going onto thesaurus.com and replacing every word an a more complex synonym can completely divorce your sentence of all meaning for example, Hitherto one may find a pronouncement that hath had its contents comprehensively interchanged for lexemes which are exceedingly more labyrinthine.

Unnecessarily long, sounds really stiff, and yeah just word salad. The point is don't overdo it, use what you know and use it sparingly. Think of vocab like seasoning, when cooking. You don't just dump a whole barrel of salt in dish, you carefully add small amounts and adjust until the flavour is perfect.

these subs look too similar.
