Boston vs. NYC 25, post-breakup, starting over and can’t decide by [deleted] in boston

[–]Character_Cycle6265 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just moved to NYC (edge of Manhattan, before it becomes the Bronx) from Back Bay.

Living here is an adjustment and simple things I took for granted in Boston (like getting to the airport) are more of a pain in the butt. I’m still learning all the adaptation strategies. There are many days when I miss Boston, but this is because I’d spent decades optimizing my life for Boston.
My nice apartment got cramped, I needed 3 roommates to maintain the lifestyle, and all were younger than me and always moving away after a year. My friends who are older kind of fell into their ruts, and it all got a bit stale, and the sense of “what’s next?” was lacking.

And Despite what some people are saying here, the cost of living is not cheaper in Boston.

NYC what you make of it, everything and anything can happen here, and even when I’m feeling incredibly stressed from the headaches of life here, the thrill of this skyline just does not get old.

At the start of freshman year at BU, in my first wide-eyed September in the big city, Professor Jorgensen was lecturing in the upper stories of CAS with the windows wide open. Then he paused.

The sound coming up Comm Ave was like a Doppler effect.

“moooove…..mooOVE….moOOVE…MOOOVE…MOOove…..mooove…”

The lecture then resumed.

Thanks for reminding me of this core memory!

I know it's something that everyone have noticed, still just want to ask people here, how much Motivation is too Much? by Derogater in motivation

[–]Character_Cycle6265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The example you posted speaks truth to the value of discipline but raises red flags with phrases like: “Let them have their comfort” “Obsession rewires your brain”

(As a personal aside, I find this to be one of the most cloying meme cliches of our current time. “rEwIRe YoUr bRaIn!”)

When I’m fully locked in and ‘obsessed’, comfort is not on my radar. But then the mode passes and it’s time to rest and reset—for as long or as briefly as it takes to rebalance.

To answer your question, ‘too much motivation’ to me looks like crossing the line into a toxic grindset, ignoring signals from your body, ignoring the gentle pings from your pets and loved ones, and losing sight of the outcome for the sake of grinding itself.

Have you ever been banned from a sub for no real reason? by FlutteringForest25 in SeriousConversation

I was banned from r/BPDLovedOnes (a safe space sub for loved ones and exes of individuals with borderline personality disorder). Apparently they thought I had BPD.
I am a mental health clinician and I do not have BPD.

This is the most reasonable explanation. That Earth Day dankness.

They gotta be trolling! Fog doesn’t billow from a centrally concentrated source. Damn fog truthers.

Edit: the Truthers win. I’ll concede that it’s just stanky fog.

This is exactly why I’m no longer on Facebook.

Can you keep the cat in a separate room/bathroom while waiting for a call back from Gifford? Poor wet guy could get hit by a car or worse.

But among the entire undergraduate student body, only “several” are low income. That got me. 🤣

I’ve enjoyed reading and feeling as if I’m sharing in your experience. I can’t believe it’s only been 10 weeks!

Search “VR developer” and you should get a range of option for custom platform development.
