Back again with these threads! For all the new folks, this is a safe space to tell us about anything cool you have going on, anything you want to vent about, and everything in between.
Remember, you are loved
Things have been up and down for me. In a glum mood today. Been hanging out with someone new, and that's been nice, I'm just not sure if I really want to keep it up. Home life is....fine, I guess. Still living with my ex, they're gonna give things until the end of the year to see if their career picks up any, and if not, they'll move home. That said, they've been talking about that for years, so I'll believe it when I see it. They broke down and finally yelled at me for the first time a few nights ago, so I silently carved a pumpkin and then just stayed over with the person I've been seeing. As nice as the couch I live on is, it was nice to sleep in a bed for a night or two this past week.
Job front is slow moving, but I had a promising interview last Wednesday. Was supposed to hear back Thurday afternoon or Friday, but even with a followup email I sent, no reply. Fingers crossed I guess.
I deleted a few of my dating apps, still have a small amount installed. A Maoist actually hollered at me this morning and wants to take me to an arcade. Not sure I have the energy though. Other people are asking me for dates, but I'm just...not replying. I should go do that now so I don't leave them hanging.
On a brighter note, 9 day tour coming up in 2 weeks, so that's cool! Without giving away too much (y'all know my band anyways and have seen my face), I'll be going around the midwest. We've been doing well on selling merch the past few months, so that money should be sufficient to cover the tour. Also, we'll have a roadie for the first time!
I'll end it here I guess. Hope all my comrades are well, and I love you!
Got the "I'm not going to be in contact for while/let's cool it off" message, which always sucks. Thought we were doing well, but shit happens I guess. Relationships are complicated, especially when you don't see each other often.
Still looking for a job, kinda wondering aimlessly right now. Need to try get my driver's licence renewed (old one expired), might even have to take the test again as could've been a learners one. I can't remember. That's if I can even drive a car with all my spinal issues lol.
Really need a better job and a car so this kind of thing doesn't happen again lol. It was going so well when I saw them in person often. But I don't even know if I can drive for longer than 5 minutes with all the health issues, I last drove a car in 2019. Maybe I need to find a partner that likes to drive lol.
Also thanks for the offer to chat/commiserate, it's 2am right now over here, but might take it up later
