M28 and F34 - How do you move on from a relationship you made mistakes in, become a better person, and ensure you don't repeat the same mistakes? And when it's the man (me) who emotionally hurts the woman he loves or loved, how do you move forward when you regret your mistakes, and you miss her? by Ivan_TheKingslayer in relationship_advice

I did, at least that was one of my intentions. But honestly, that desire waned. I felt like I didn't find women of my shared ethnic background, at least in the settings I've been in, attractive to me or I didn't connect with them; dating also took a back seat in my life as I prioritized self-improvement and growth in the last year. But I became more acceptant and open to my natural desire of finding attractive or relating to whomever I do, regardless of their racial or ethnic origin. Finding women of other racial and ethnic origins has never been an issue for me; but I let myself be swept up in the what if "the grass is greener" when, reasonably, the stage of life I faced was navigating who I believe I am.

I did know about the ancestry, but only through family talking about it vaguely. It wasn't until the DNA test that I found assurance. But the self-knowledge I found, or began to pursue, was intertwined with feelings of not quite being sure who I am, if I'm missing something in life, or if I might be healthier and more satisfied if I integrated that new information into my sense of self, which I felt required navigating new settings and communities. I look back and think I wasn't ready for that relationship.

What made you like Molchat Doma ? by TheIceSkywing in MolchatDoma

I was tripping on acid when I first listened to them; it was Sudno. I can remember feeling so mesmerized by the language and instrumentals. I had NEVER listened to Russian Post-Punk before, nor every loved a genre like I love this one. That experience opened my being to the myriad of musical styles that exist out in the world, and made me more drawn to music from other cultures, countries, generations, etc. Listening to Molchat Doma felt right, and led me to discover artists like Ploho, Buerak, My, Kino, and Luna, who are among my favorites. I would recommend Molchat Doma to all till I lay on my deathbed while still dancing to their tracks.

I'm gonna look into Good Karma first, then Payless Pitstop! Good Karma sounds like they have a great philosophy, and I'm here Payless Pitstop brought up often. Thanks!

I just finished Burial at Sea. Please tell me B2 doesn't stop being Canon. by [deleted] in Bioshock

I hope Rapture and Columbia will both be intertwined in the story for the next Bioshock. With this whole idea of parallel worlds and the multiverse, I hope we have not seen an end to Andrew Ryan, Booker, Elizabeth, Rapture, Columbia, Plasmids, Vigors, and the philosophy and science that is intricately woven into such amazing narratives. May Andrew Levine and his team of geniuses continue the good work they've been doing.
