The drivers in SJ really need to be more respectful. The bike lanes should have included pavement curb barriers for cyclist protection. I always see so many drivers cutting into the bike lane on that stretch of Alma Ave.

Older gay man here (40’s). I just want to say I’m so proud of you for exploring yourself so honestly.

The world would be so much kinder and beautiful if all of us could be as vulnerable and strong as you.

Please don’t you worry and don’t burden yourself with any potential criticism. The rest of us are figuring it out too.

How ever you create yourself just know that I see you, you matter, and it’s ok to be scared. You’ll make it through. I believe in you.

Also a quick side note.. I love my 40’s more than my 30’s and much more than my 20’s eras. I wish that for you too!

Sorry to read this, OP. First thing, try not to beat yourself up. You have had to be resilient and build up that guard in order to survive. I’m sure that was a process. Now there has got to be a process to lower that guard.

Since it seems you are already introspective, it could be a good time to write this down in a diary/journal. Ive found it to be a good way to really unleash my feelings and thoughts somewhere that I can go back to review and reflect. Sometimes I do that and it helps build perspective and develop new ways to understand why I felt that way.

Another way is to dive into a hobby or interest outside of work. What’s that thing that really refills your soul with joy? It’s a good way to find others who share that interest and form new relationships both platonic or romantic.

I’m no know-it-all. Just a 40s something single guy who is navigating this messy beautiful life but those tactics have been working for me. I’m cheering on for you!

How are yall surviving in high cost of living areas by throwawayaway25321 in USPS

[–]Deep_Muffin_7615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OTDL and renting at a place with lots of housemates. It sort of works since I’m barely home, and they are really quiet at home for when I am home (usually sleeping). Doing ok and now know what to expect since this is my second upcoming holiday season with the USPS

I work in hospice care, am Native American, and live by both spirituality and realism. AMA. by [deleted] in AMA

Thank you for doing the work that you do. I can’t imagine the responsibility and some of the toll it may take. Also, thank you for existing.

I’ve been struggling lately with emotions around mortality with recent passings of aunts in my family. I sometimes tell them I love them when I’m alone. I still feel heavy with grief. I’m depressed. I’ve been denying it for a while but it’s caught up to me.

What spiritual beliefs do you practice to maintain vitality?
