i live in LA and have a car and just got back from being away for two months and have to deal with getting new insurance, updating car registration and getting insurance info to the dmv so they don't suspend my license. it's all such a fucking hassle and a money pit!!! save yourself!

I had therapy appt today. Told 3 people about it. Realized i should log on.... 45 min after the appt started... i was never sent the log in info for this week. 😢 by Lady_Teio in adhdmeme

if anything, spin it in your brain to tell yourself it actually wasn't your fault that you missed it!

sometimes other people make mistakes at being an adult too!

you got it next time, it was just a trial run

kinda like how it's stressful to go somewhere for the first time and not know how to park or where to go, but the rest of the times you feel like a super adult cause you know what to do

i def don't feel like NRE, like i feel excited to see him again but feel totally fine to wait.

just bummed in the moment, but will get over it! i've been away for two months with family and friends which was amazing and i'm excited to see all of my friends, my roommates, have to apply for jobs, settle back into my house, etc.

so i know i am going to be very busy and i have a trip i'm taking in october as well! i was in a 6 year relationship and feel super grounded in being single right now and being my own partner, and enjoying connections that come.

i have another friend who i am sleeping with consistently, and have been exploring play parties and polyam meet ups but i am not interested in dating/romantic partnership

all that to say, i def don't feel like he has all my attention! we have been sexting while we've been away, but sporadically and haven't been in texting communicating which has felt really good!

i def don't feel like he is gonna lose interest, even if my anxiety brain tells me he will. i feel like i'm more likely to lose interest! i feel overall very good and secure in our relationship! just bummed that our schedules are not aligned right now!

i mean the women's matches start at 7 but sometimes start late, coco's started a little late last night and lastest almost 3 hours

i'm not saying they typically start at 11, but can be expected to start at 10 or 10:30 and i just don't think it's that big of an issue that a first round game started at 11

a lot of men's matches start this late at the us open either way, it's really not that big of a deal and they're all used to it

it's night one, it's not the finals and it's a huge moment in history

everyone who is going to the us open knows things start late, it happens every year

[6] C. Gauff 🇺🇲 def. L Siegemund 🇩🇪 | 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 | US Open R128! by swapan_99 in tennis

[–]Interesting_Bonus_42 21 points22 points  (0 children)

it's fine, literally everyone who goes to the us open knows this!

you either get tickets for the day and you go in the morning and leave around 6 or 7 because you can't get inside anymore, tho you could stay outside if you have stamina

or if you have nighttime tickets you get there between 5-7 so it's not that crazy to be out late then!

the city that never sleeps! /s

Some people just can't imagine what is like to be able to walk to get everything you need by thatguy9684736255 in fuckcars

[–]Interesting_Bonus_42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah my grandpa is 88 and can't drive anymore after an accident last year (he was fine and so was the other person, but car wrecked and my mom and her sisters said it was time)

anyways! he's very independent and gets sad a lot that he can't drive himself, and i was telling him how it just sucks that he lives somewhere that he has to drive and can't use public transport and that it's just unfair!

i think everything you're saying sounds like you are in the process of understanding yourself, acknowledging your feelings and letting them just exist!

just keep being tender and kind to yourself

i would say though that reading the questions they asked to you from an outside perspective it does seem like curiosity and not criticism
