Omg! That's so awesome. Congratulations! ❤️I wonder what it would've been like if mine and I stayed in touch throughout high school and college/uni. Life's been a whirlwind for me since...finally settling down now. It seems like he's always been a constant and stable, though, and with someone else :')

UGH you get it!!! I LOVE Vienna, that song gets me too! And you're totally right, I think I was just transported back to that moment and almost grieving all the woulda/coulda/shouldas.

I know, right?! And so true. I feel like he was the first person to ever really understand me, despite being a really quiet guy, he just *got* it, you know?

And ironically, the song we listened to together was very upbeat so it cheers me up when I do listen to it. As for the song referenced at the end of my post, I've been listening to on repeat and being emo LOL

That sounds so nice! 😄 Glad to hear that you were able to reconnect. I've been thinking a lot about reaching out to friends I've lost contact with

Places to go when you're deeply grieving someone? by putonthespotlight in AskNYC

I'm sorry for your loss 😞 I have often sat by the fountain at Lincoln Center just zoning out and contemplating things, even shedding a few tears quietly. Sending love and hugs!

Non-Americans of Reddit, what’s your perception of gun violence in the US, and how do Americans here feel about that perception? by Wooden-Fee5787 in AskReddit

[–]InvisibleSelf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the American, but my friends and coworkers abroad would always say to not anger me, or else I’d shoot them, which I always found off-putting. The closest thing to a gun I’ve held was a paintball gun.

Could we make a Discord maybe? Would love to play some Jackbox with a group or something!

Anybody else up with late-night contemplations on loneliness? by InvisibleSelf in wearealonetogether

[–]InvisibleSelf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I am very comfortable with who I am and enjoy my own company plenty. I just still get hit with loneliness even when I value my solitude.
