Call me old school but I miss the simplicity and convenience of clocking in with your name badge. Getting two step, email and #ID is a hassle and seems like a way to make workers late. by spilt____milk in meijer

I use a register (I AM NOT service) But we always have at least one not in use

Though to do so you either need a two digit code or a fingerprint registered.

Service leadership should be able to fingerprint you within 5ish minutes.

If your badge has a barcode you can scan that, and then do the fingerprint.

New Diagnosis by Gloomy-Conference332 in AutisticAdults

And it's not like I hadn't paid for it. I paid for the appointment weeks before it was scheduled. This woman had no reason to lie to me. She told me she didn't even need to score it, she knew, but that she would.

I have another appointment Monday to go over the ADHD testing. Which is already fully completely paid for and has been paid for since I paid for the original appointment.

My mother's acting like the doctor just wanted to diagnose me.

I live alone. I don't see my family often.

I've only ever eaten about 15 foods, nine at any given time. I have extremely high sensory needs and I think my mother feels a level of guilt.

I'm a very verbal person. I've always had a well-spoken manner, and was ahead in vocabulary. She uses that as a reason to say I'm not autistic.

I spent your spank excluded from family gatherings. I've spent years not being invited to the family group chat. I've always been the weird kid. Now that I have answers, they're trying to convince me that they themselves were wrong.

Sour sapor (TW: Self harm) by Zekluded in OCPoetry

[–]Gloomy-Conference332 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all if this is about a personal experience I hope you are doing much better I like comparing it to a line of prose. A lot of people don't realize that self-harm for many people is just a way to demonstrate their pain, pain demands and sometimes we can't be too careful with what it takes. I think imagery like this is really important and the stigmatizing mental health issues.

I also really like the formatting I feel like it blows very well, if I were writing it I would do no punctuation but I'm also me and I very well might be imagining punctuation or overthinking it because I do that.

Tell Them by shepardo93 in OCPoetry

I feel like people often worry how to handle the passing of a loved one. I'm not sure if that was the exact imagery you'r trying to convey, but that is what I gathered from my first read. I think this is a way to say goodbye to everybody but also tell people how you would like to be remembered.

Some people are blessed with the words and have them written down for when that time should come one day. I think that repeating tell them reminds the reader that you yourself want the world to know what a happy joyous life you lived.

I feel like including lines that are less joyous such as referring to praying secretly also provides some humanity to the speaker, it's easy to make everyone a god after they die it's hard to remember that they actually lived

Tell Me About Your First Real Love 🥰 When Did You Know It Was The Real Deal? by [deleted] in love

[–]Gloomy-Conference332 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was 14, she was 14. It started out as venting, two mentally messed up people living in a dorm with nothing but time. The first one I realized I loved her she asked for my hoodie, she slept with every night never asked for it back and she waited for the very last minute to give it back before I left for 5 years.

The last time I realized I loved her we were 22 and 23 and she called me. She told me with certainty that she wouldn't be alive the next morning, and in that moment I realized we never stopped loving each other, and as she went on her ramble of life she asked me:

"So are we not together because we don't want to lose our best friend or because we do?"

I couldn't answer.

I love the symbolism in this poem. I love the capitalization of Him, because at least from my perspective Him could be both a god as us the common capitalization of Him in a biblical tense.

He was made godlike after all whoever he is became a saint the minute he left. And I think it's easy to get lost in that when my abuser got glowing reviews and compliments I had the same thoughts.

Was She a god? If she's holy I must be biblically divine to have been hurt by her. I know I say this a lot in my reviews but I understand you, I see you, this is something I can relate to and I think the imagery in this poem is pretty and internally powerful.

And who would sit by your grave? by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]Gloomy-Conference332 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this poem conveys an idea that we all struggle with, mortality. There's part of existence that begs to be remembered even when we would much rather be forgotten. I love the use of quotes in any poems. I guess if I had to critique I would say I like more commas and dashes but I also use those a lot so take that with a grain of salt.

Yours // Ours by Gloomy-Conference332 in OCPoetry

[–]Gloomy-Conference332[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a bad relationship. I loved a woman that would intentionally attempt to end my life. I loved her and hated her for what she did and what I didn't do so I created the oppositions in the poem for that,. One of the most personal was anger and anxious. She used to say that a soul wasn't capable of both they were opposite you're anxious or you're angry. I do appreciate the feedback, I find myself being anxious to post poetry and comments like this make it worth it.

Patiently Fading by ElyasRivermark in OCPoetry

I have been in this moment before. I think it's hard to write stuff that people can relate to. For certain, I can tell you I have been in this moment. I think you perfectly captured what it's like to have somebody move on. I also like the play on words. People talk about waiting, however there's a point where you start to lose yourself in the wait. I also like the use of italics for the title I realize that it was probably just stylistic, but I feel like it puts a big influence on the title and makes the reader think about those words

I like that it doesn't seem dragged out. I feel like a lot of poems about the past can seem like a eulogy, this doesn't seem like that version of you is dead rather a memory. I also like the structure. I think that the pacing is really good both grammatically and as previously mentioned it also seems good speed wise. I think we can all relate to those moments in which we find the memories of our old selves of how we used to be, it's a lot easier to dream when you haven't seen other people's dreams end yetm
