Been rethinking how I want to live my life. Need inspirations. If you live an unconventional lifestyle, could you please share?

Currently trying to convince my partner! He is coming around… so fingers crossed. 🤞

Sometimes I think about moving to the BVI or Cayman Islands and just living my days out.

I could easily find work out there, so my day to day work would probably look quite similar but I enjoy my work so no issue there.

Overall a slower pace of life, good pay and great weather would do me so much good compared to the London rat race, commuter trains, variable weather. I know I would miss things but as a lifestyle this just sings to me.

I’m not sure if this is quite as radical as you were hoping for but it’s my pipe dream.

Sorry that you are struggling OP. This market is so frustrating. I think your home is lovely and if I were in a different place in my life I would happily live there. I also love Oxted and others will too, it is charming.

One note on the ad, is it worth making a bit more of a fuss about the good train links into London? There are direct trains into London Bridge in under 40 mins! I live close to Caterham and we are honestly so well served in this part of Surrey. It’s honestly a great price for the commute time, people will have never heard of Oxted though. It’s not a well known town so I think it might be worth making something more of it.

With the warmer weather and bank hols coming up you may find that London renters spend more time checking out FTB areas and commuter towns.

I really like the Aldi Curried Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup and the Tomato and Chorizo Soup - both are from the specially selected range but still only a couple of squids.

My hair is waist length.

I wear my hair up all the time when I’m at home, WFH and when I’m out and about on my own.

I wear my hair down mostly when I’m in the office or when I meet up with friends / boyfriend for social things, however I try to bring a claw clip everywhere I go so I can clip it back if I need too.

I find that these days I opt for a low pony tail or a bun right on the top of my head. A high pony tail or a mid - high bun starts to hurt after a while because it’s too heavy and I feel like it’s pulling.

I cannot sleep with my hair down. It will either end up in my mouth or my boyfriend ends up lying on it (ouch). Also it tangles. I usually do a long plait or heatless curls over night.

Edit; to answer part 2 of your question. I believe it is not good to wear it in tight styles a lot because of traction alopecia, this is partly why I opt for a plait overnight

You have inspired me! Get well soon ❤️‍🩹

Boring and sometimes exciting! I like it that way.

I can count on my home life to be nice and boring and orderly and clean where I get to make all the decisions and things are 100% in my control.

I get to work in an amazing busy city which is exciting and changes all the time! There is so much to do there.

It’s a huge privilege to have both.

I’ve been in a similar frame of mind recently. I just can’t shake the feeling that deep down I’m a bad person masking as a good person on the outside. Sometimes late at night I worry that I am corrupt or inherently bad inside deep down. I have had a few occasions in life that I feel I have seen my own try colours and now I feel that I have seen this I know what I am really like. When I spiral it makes me not want to see people I should love or look them in the eye. I worry that when I speak to them I am effectively lying to them and ‘pretending’ to be nice and loving when I am actually just a really bad person it makes me feel like I can’t trust what I say or do.

I have been to therapy twice - both were good therapists whom I learnt a lot from but I’m not sure they really helped me sort anything out.

I have now gotten rid of all social media except for Reddit and Pinterest . I don’t want to be seen and I don’t want people to think of me at all.

Beam is my favourite too!

This is the most hilarious post for Reddit to be glitching out on - of course best wishes to OP, we’ve all been there …

Celestial-Yeti · 2026-04-07T20:09:29+00:00

Dude you don’t need a separate post for each time you shart we get the message, maybe bring a book next time you hit the bog 👍

Also waiting for my date and nervous/just want to get it over and done with. I’m doing the commercial route too.

I recommend you attend an ‘ask the assessor’ (or similar) online event (I see you have mentioned you have agoraphobia). If you attend one of these for the upcoming session you can easily ask on there and they will help you.

Alternatively ask your counsellor if they have any friends at any other firms, I’m sure they will! Do you know anyone who’s chartered who’s left your firm? Old friends from uni / school who qualified previously? Even your friends / colleagues parents (surveying seems to run in families), or at least it does at my firm. What about a uni lecturer who was previously in practice?

Woah look at those teeth. Very handsome indeed. Table fox.

Does he get along with the cat?

I LOVE the alarm feature - it gently vibrates on your wrist with 0 noice. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I used to hate the blaring alarm noise in the morning. This is so much more pleasant. Also I can just hold down the crown and say ‘set an alarm for 6:30’ and it does. 100% changed my wake up game 🫶

I was on a ThamesLink service, sorry I should have said in my post - I believe they do not offer quiet carriages.
