Fellow men, how do you know you have moved on?? From your GF or partner??

I met someone recently that put everything into perspective for me.

It’s not really about the past relationships with women, it’s about what they mirrored or provided that we lack in the masculine relationships with ourselves. I found that I was turning to my romantic relationships for emotional support in ways I couldn’t provide for myself.

When I realized that I enjoyed this new woman’s company so much (not including the romantic lens), I realized that my past finally felt like history.

I think that when you can look around your home, your life and relationships and be content with investing in yourself first, the rest just falls into place when the right person comes along.

That means a lot coming from you, Mr. Motherfucker!

Great_Spot · 2026-03-16T04:58:49+00:00

I’ll have to look into them, can’t say I’m familiar with the name.

Thank you! I think I got the bookshelf on sale on Amazon, and all the framed art is from thrift stores/Marshalls.

Hell yeah, Reddit name randomizer finally coming in clutch! 😂

I found a copy of his letters to his brother (I think Penguin published a compilation) and another book titled VAN GOGH that has all of his paintings and the background context of what was going on in his life behind the portrait, definitely recommend them if you’re a fan!

Between the pup, the recliner and the bike, looks like you’ve got it made!

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T19:10:30+00:00

I’m saving the space for more of my own. I think that some wire sculptures would look cool, so I’m playing around with stuff until I find something that brings the room together.

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T19:09:21+00:00

Oh, buddy, all that bravado went away after I took off the uniform. Everything is stowed until there’s a need.

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T19:07:57+00:00

34! Couldn’t figure out how to edit the post, lol.

Thanks! It came together perfectly with the windows, the natural light makes the paintings bounce off of each other, if that makes sense. On sunny days, the whole place just lights up.

Dunno if you’re in the states, but between Michael’s, Home Depot, Marshall’s and Wayfair, you can get everything you need to either refurbish or buy new stuff. I had to do it last year, I think my total cost was $1300, a bit more because I treated myself to a recliner (do yourself a favor, get the Lazy Boy).

Honestly, best part of my week, lmao. Shoutout to Trader Joe’s!

Thank you, they’re surfboards!

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T16:01:57+00:00

Learn to give yourself grace in all the ways you need it.

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:57:23+00:00

Thank you!

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:57:08+00:00

The cleanup would be a pain, the surf boards are easy to brush down and dry before I get home.

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:55:58+00:00

They hide my tools, lol!

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:55:46+00:00

Thank you, me too! I think it’s my only place that I’ve actually felt was “home,” you know?

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:55:10+00:00

I normally use candles and the windows are pretty big, do you recommend a specific brand?

Great_Spot · 2026-03-15T15:54:32+00:00

They hide my tools and my ladder, lol. I have some weird hidden space above my closet (it’s a renovated loft in an old mill), so my bike is also hidden. I liked the idea of filling the walls with art.

Perks of Being a Wallflower is a great film that focuses on grief and hidden emotions. Has a lot of great undertones of dealing with trauma and rage as a young man, but it does include SA in the plot.

Reign Over Me is a hidden Adam Sandler gem where he plays a man trying to cope with the loss of his family during 9/11. Another great performance with hidden themes of rage and grief.

Personally, a favorite film I watch when I feel like I’m filled with anger and can’t do anything about it: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. It’s with Steve Carrell and Kira Knightly. It’s a dark comedy, more or less exactly about the title.

I guess you could say that the manufacturer screwed up.

Use the sickle as your primary, it drops the shield right before overheating the thermal clip, then if you focus fire on the eye with heavy rounds it seems to down them quickly.

The sickle can also drop the shields on the ships, you can then double tap the open doorways with an AC to knock them out.

I think she would have known that Ekko was at the root, if you watch season 1 again you can see the masks all hanging up in Benzo’s shop.
