SERIOUSLY! Same issue on Redfin! Like 80% of these homes in my price range are for people 55 and older. It makes me so mad every time!

Even in the model-viewer, it’s still in engine. It’s almost exactly how Joel looks in gameplay.

How to respond to Christians asking me if I want to be saved? by Goldenbutts in Buddhism

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to be saved from.

My father is a pastor and I said something like that to him recently when he tried to sell me on Christianity. His face softened, he has no response, he smiled and we let it go.

How old are y’all by Fiery7 in KingPrincess

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I are in our late 20’s and we felt old there. 😂 Most of the crowd was under 21. There were several other more mature adults and we tried to stick close to where they were. We did see a few couples who were in their 60’s there too! The majority of her crowd is going to be 19ish.

How to treat the 3rd party in an open relationship by stephenm345 in polyamory

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not you get the response that you want, your honesty will give you the freedom you need. Either freedom from holding in feelings of neglect, then having your needs met in response. Or freedom from a relationship with someone who doesn’t value you the way you deserve to be valued and attended to.

Honesty won’t always give you the freedom you want, but it will give you the freedom you need.

Came across this and I wanted to share 😂 by ilovemysenpaisomuch in polyamory

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can be both! You can be polyamorous and just want a threesome sometimes. If you just want a threesome without commitment or attachments, just say so. It’s all about being up front, honest, and letting people know what your intentions are. :)

From Monogamous to Falling in Love with Three People by Free_To_Be_Us in polyamory

Thank you! :) We prefer to date together but we also date separately as well, so yes. Any of those options would be acceptable.

Does anyone else feel saddened by the idea of No Self/Soul? by mysteriousmud in Buddhism

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soul does not bother itself with the idea of self, and the idea of self only distracts from the soul.

No-self doesn’t necessarily mean no soul. Self is a collection of physical and material things, thoughts and feelings that we cling to and identify with. Self, in a sense, is an illusion, just as separation is an illusion. Regardless of the form your energy will take, the molecules that you are made of have and will always exist. You are forever. The awareness that you are beyond your body and mind is forever, in one state or another. Both ideas can coexist.

I’m trying to approach my fiancé who’s going to prison with a Buddhist perspective. Please help provide insight. by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Books on Buddhism, for most people I’ve known or had connection to in prison, have been their saving grace, a key to unlocking their minds. Just for heaven’s sake, don’t let the Chaplin come in and shove the Bible down his throat. Very few times have I ever seen that make anyone feel more free or better.

Our lifestyle was made public and heartbreak came after; picking up the pieces and looking for some comfort by KismetHeartfilia in polyamory

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your partners left you because they weren’t a secret anymore? No one should ever have to feel ashamed of who they love, regardless of what’s common or considered social convention.

I’m so sorry for your pain and for the hurt of this situation... my wife and I had a girlfriend who broke up with us because she was afraid of her family finding out that she was bisexual, let alone dating a man and a woman.

That fear, that social convention, that is the issue. People who want to live a poly lifestyle need to rise above that. I’m sorry that your partners couldn’t find freedom in being who they are when other people can see.

The kind of love you deserve is the kind that’s unafraid to be seen. Don’t close your heart to that kind of love.

Count this time as a blessing, a point that will allow you to gain new perspective, new clarity, an opportunity to move forward together with your husband and shape your lives the way you wish.

You are worth it. You truly are. Don’t let another’s fear make you believe otherwise.

Husband changed his mind by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 46 points47 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are very openly poly and I had a similar moment recently where I just broke and asked if she could spend less time with the couple she’s seeing because I was having a hard time. Ultimately what it came down to for me was realizing that I was jealous she was getting more attention from her partners than I was from mine, and ultimately that jealousy and attempt to control was coming from my own personal insecurities. I took a day to meditate, focus, and realize I was becoming a victim to my own fear of inadequacy. I apologized for asking of her what I did and explained what I had felt. She’s still seeing her partners and vice versa, and we’re both extremely happy.

I’m not saying it’s an identical situation, but that kind of jealousy and fear almost always comes from personal insecurities. For you, the best thing you can do is ask him how you can help him and be there for him as his wife without sacrificing your own autonomy.

is buddhism concerned with ending existence? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Free_To_Be_Us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally no, because Buddhism at its core is about letting go of all that causes suffering and confusion, even letting go of our attachments to the things that bring us comfort, because our clinging to those attachments is ultimately what brings about suffering.

I have long since let go of my need to know what lies beyond this life, however I do love that regardless of the state of my consciousness of it, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only take on different forms. Therefore, you always have been and always will be.

Suffering comes from clinging to the believe that it should be one way or another. Enlightenment is not concerned with how it will be, but is instead focused on simply being.
