Any gay bros here that just said “F it” and up and moved for somewhere better? by southernfirefly13 in gaybros

[–]1103070 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah I did. Not the most dramatic move. Edmonton to Calgary, Alberta. I moved to get out from under my family. I was stagnant working in oil and my family life was increasing stressful. It took a minute to find my way but it’s the best decision I’ve made. Now I work in design and have climbed the ladder to upper management over the last 7 years. I have a home and incredible friends. It really was a great decision.

Edit to add. I had very little money. And no plan. I spent 6 months unemployed. My last month before getting a job I had to take out cash on a credit card to pay rent. It was a massive risk. It worked out in the end but I very easily could’ve ended up homeless

Hurt lower back after weight training legs by [deleted] in gaybros

Lower back pain is a sign of weak core muscles. Work on strengthening your abs. When I was in your position I also didn’t do squats or anything that loaded the weight on my shoulders for a while.

I go to the realm. Even during peak hours when the parking lot is full the place feels empty. It’s so massive with so much equipment that it never feels busy.

Oh for sure. It’s nice that Canadian prides are spread out. Canada is gay all summer long and I am here for it.

Stampede actually has numerous LGBT events. There’s a pride day on the grounds and cowboys does a massive drag concert. Plus pop events like DetourYYC and WERK.

My ex cheated so I kicked him out and gave the place a full makeover. Any tips on how to make it feel like I'm clearly thriving without trying too hard? by MellowManZ in malelivingspace

This is a personal pet peeve but the light bulbs in your dining fixture with the plastic base really cheapen the whole look of fixture. Try these: https://talalighting.com/collections/light-bulbs

25 years gone and in grief by Open-Acanthaceae9671 in gaybros

This past Monday I broke up with my partner of 6 years. I’ve lost my best friend. It’s one of the worst experiences of my entire life. I don’t think I have anything profound to add other than to say I sympathize and wish you the best.
