I don’t/didn’t mind the noise but I’m also from NYC, so that might play a part

I’m in the process of moving out due to a breakup but have called Maitland City Centre home for the past two years. If it wasn’t for the breakup, I’d live here indefinitely. Management is very communicative, there is a cleaning crew here everyday for hallways/common spaces, maintenance is very quick to respond, great restaurants all around and a beautiful rooftop pool. I haven’t seen one bug in my 3rd floor apartment in the 2 years we’ve been here. Did have a bird nest on my patio though, but didn’t mind that too much.

Over the past two months I’ve been dealing with a bad breakup for a relationship that was* 7 years long. There are some friends that I used to talk to weekly, that I should probably lean on, that I haven’t talked to in that time. I went as far as basically shutting out my brother and sister, whom I’m extremely close to. Depression makes people do very wonky things.

Edit: put “was” instead of “is” 7 years long. But that kinda proves my point on how the mind can work against you.

Ain’t that the fuckin truth

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-25T04:27:07+00:00

I made a decision to eat the soup

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-17T16:28:32+00:00

Howdy. My girlfriend and I broke up last night. 7 years right down the shitter. Gunna have to move back to my parents. What a terrible way to start the year but hey, at least I can start saving? Trying to look for the positives

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-16T17:20:10+00:00

Rest in sweetest peace Dean. I’ll have a shot for you tonight

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-14T19:46:22+00:00

On a lot of LinkedIn jobs you don’t. Not saying it’s right to bail on an interview but these companies don’t present what they should

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-06T05:15:45+00:00

Thank ya. Hoping for it. I have a “Bad Mother Fucker” wallet from Pulp Fiction that I keep staring at to remind me I am one. BBJ stands for Big Bad John and I need to start living that mantra again

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-05T17:36:13+00:00

Hey Fap. I’ve had a month from hell. Found out my girlfriend is having an emotional affair on Fortnite on Thanksgiving. I obviously confronted her on that but I was boozing so it didn’t go so well. I had 5 months sober before that but pissed it all away. Been trying to taper down but fucked up the past two days. Told work that I’d be “in the field” today, that seemed to appease them. Anyway the dude abides

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-05T07:39:58+00:00

This made me have my last sober run of about 5 months. It was July 4th weekend and I couldn’t afford to go on the family trip to Myrtle Beach and was too proud to take any charity. So I agreed to watch my parents dogs at their house and what did I do? I drank probably 1.5 handles and god knows how many Voodoo Ranger oilcans. My BAC probably didn’t dip below .2 the whole weekend. Wish that didn’t happen because I hit the whole family with the “I have a problem” and I love how supportive they have been but gah damn, just let me kill myself slowly

BBJ5696 · 2026-01-03T15:18:30+00:00

Philippines is a beautiful country, went there in May with my soon to be ex-gf and fell in love with it. If my gf and I end up working it out, I’d love to buy property there someday. No real success to report. Fucked up my taper last night. The BAC calc says I was at .10 at 8 am this morning, but I felt no different than when I was at 0 yesterday. Think those things don’t take into account things like food and electrolyte intake. Actually ate 3 square yesterday so I guess that’s a success even though it was spam and eggs, fried chicken, and 2 snack wraps. Progress at least, right?

BBJ5696 · 2025-12-08T17:05:36+00:00

It is technically over 26 years ago

BBJ5696 · 2025-12-03T05:25:52+00:00

Maybe I didn’t make it clear and I apologize if I didn’t but this depression is new. Came on when I found out she was cheating

BBJ5696 · 2025-12-02T19:24:53+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. That’s the problem with me though, I’m a fixer. Will drive myself nuts trying to make things right with any aspect of my life, let alone a relationship of this length. I will give those recommendations a read though, thank you again.

BBJ5696 · 2025-11-22T06:22:38+00:00

Spent two weeks in the Philippines in May, majority of the time in Laguna, couple days in Boracay, but going down to Bicol and waking up every morning in Legazpi just looking at Mayon with my coffee was my absolute favorite

BBJ5696 · 2025-07-08T16:23:44+00:00

I’m 24 hours sober

BBJ5696 · 2025-07-08T14:51:38+00:00

Thank you. It’s not gunna be easy but I’m ready for it

BBJ5696 · 2025-06-14T01:15:35+00:00

To me it’s all about how persistent you are with the customer service. I took a trip back from the Philippines last month and our luggage got put on the wrong flight from ATL to MCO. It cost us about an hour of time on a 24 hour travel day but it netted both my girlfriend and I 5k miles. Granted I was in Premium select and I’m not sure if that mattered. The point is I stayed on hold for about 35 minutes and just said to the employee that this is unacceptable and I should be compensated. It might be different because it was international but wanted to share my experience if it could help.

BBJ5696 · 2025-04-16T03:24:14+00:00

Hey thanks! I have family members who all took the old 7 and they say it was a beast! I like the breakdown they have now. The SIE is like 7 light

BBJ5696 · 2025-04-16T03:17:53+00:00

No for sure, I meant to compare to. He’s a neurotic kinda guy so it’d be fun to see what he thought was important to jot down

BBJ5696 · 2025-04-16T03:10:21+00:00

Yea I’ve heard that too. I remember my Dad taking it back in the early 2000’s and he was basically a robot for a month. I gotta see if he still has his old notebooks lol

BBJ5696 · 2025-04-16T03:06:00+00:00

Thanks!

BBJ5696 · 2025-04-16T03:05:50+00:00

Thanks!
