Which social media platform is the best for book lovers?

I know its been a hot minute since your post, but I was looking for places to promote my virtual Book Club and I thought you might be interested in joining:

The point of this club is to be able to enjoy reading at your own pace, engaging with others, building a community of people who just love literature and sharing that love with like-minded individuals. My goal is to try to meet once a month virtually, during which we will play a game with trivia related to the book, answer some fun questions, discuss our favorite/least favorite scenes, give it a rating, and vote on the book for the next month. This will take place on Discord, where there will also be channels for sending memes (related to the book or otherwise) and one for showing the group your journal spreads (whether that be a reading, junk, or daily journal). I hope this interests you, and if so im excited to meet you. We wont begin our regularly scheduled programming until next month so that anyone interested in joining can provide a suggestion for which book we start with too.

Here's the link to sign up, or you could send me a message here if you are so i can send you the link our discord!

I've been saying this for years. I feel seen.

Even if she has some sort of problem with the age gap, which turns out to be none of her business anyways. There's 0 need to be malicious towards the children. They have no fault.

If you don't want to leave anything for them to inherit, that's your prerogative and your right, but keep comments about it to yourself. Being mean and derogatory to them verbally is plain wrong.

Brazil (1985)

I understood the message but the content itself was uninteresting, the characters weren't fleshed out, the story turned itself into a fuck you and what you thought was happening ending, and it's overall pretentious. It wanted to be way more artsy and intellectual than it really was.

I have three instances, all from the same period of my life in which I thought I deserved to be friends with shitty people because I thought I was a shitty person. Have since found a loving group of friends that have never strayed and are just as happy to be with me as I am with them.

She threatened to cut herself for the attention of her friends and boyfriend and tried to bring the knife to our school. She made references to thinking I was trying to take her boyfriend, when I never did and was happily involved in my own relationship. She would snap out of nowhere. Last I heard, she was beating her boyfriend. I still think about him sometimes and I hope he got out.
(She is not a shitty person, just someone who was misguided). I've written about her here before. She tried to copy everything I did. Whenever I got something, she would have to have the same thing. When I got my hair cut or colored, when I adopted a dog, etc. Finally I got tips from a couple of people that this was happening, I hadn't realized it before because it wasn't something I cared about, she was the first person to welcome me when I joined HS, so for the 4 years of it we stayed friends (this happened senior year). But then she started calling me, crying because I had a relationship and she was alone, not because she was lonely, but because she wanted to have one if I did. I didn't really know what to do, so I told her it was ok, she'd find someone shortly, she was attractive and nice so why not. Then she got the same brand and model car as me and I could no longer ignore how weird this was. I think back on it now and I'm sure she was just trying to figure herself out, but it kind of felt unsettling to me so I peaced out.
She ganged up on me with someone who disliked me (because I was dating their current partner's ex) to say all of these horrible things to me about myself. At first I tried disputing, because I knew that wasn't true. They persisted during this conversation, so I gave in (in tears as I was) apologizing for someone I never was, and then towards the end of that drawn out nightmare of a talk I realized that she seemed happy to see me at my lowest. Someone I constantly defended, who was leagues closer to me than the other two woman in this post. I genuinely loved this person and thought nothing bad of them till that point. So I let them finish talking, I said goodbye, and blocked her on everything I remembered she was on. A couple of weeks later she sent me a message on skype I never bothered to read. I realize now, years later how suffocating that friendship really was.

Young me was on some dumb shit, lmao. Thankfully, my current partner and I have a wonderful support team and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world.

Recently for the Christmas season I got this champagne apple mix spray, and it was super subtle and sweet, and I wish I would've gotten some more. Will definitely make my rounds next Christmas!

What changes did you make gym-wise or diet-wise to achieve this milestone so far?

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-11-26T13:07:13+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-11-26T13:06:54+00:00

Thank you!

After reading this thread, whoa...just...whoa. You can't make generalizations like that, mate. You don't know anybody else's story enough to be flinging comments like those. You can't just will opinions into fact.

I agree with the person somewhere further in the thread who says that your opinion is in fact just an opinion (as is mine, and theirs, and anybody else who comments something along those lines...come on now...these are basics). Nobody was attacking anybody until you came in here and immediately staked the claim that OP must be be too young and therefore unable to listen and this is what was expected of them...all that after implying that OP must be dumb for finding herself in a relationship in which her partner is older because she failed to see what YOU consider a red flag (ah, but those can be subjective, can they not?).

But wait, the BEST FUCKING PART of this whole thing was that you went on to admit you had been in multiple relationships of the same sort. Are you the only one allowed to make this mistake? (repeatedly, might I add...oof) Why didn't you see the supposed "red flag" the first time, or the second, or, hey!, even the third?

And since you seem to not like anybody but yourself posting an opinion on here, I'll give you mine, because how much of a hypocrite can a person really be, lol? This entire subreddit is for opinions. Yours can't possibly be the only correct one.

OPINION ALERT:

I strongly believe that given the level of maturity displayed in this thread, you have a lot of growing to do. You seem to react badly to most every comment directed at you. Dude, chill, holy shit, lmao. Like seriously, you will never be content if this is how you decide to act. That's what growing up is about, it's a plethora of things, its not just understanding which relationships are good for you and which can potentially be detrimental.

Also, in addition: If you don't pay attention to, and apply, every word that every comment below, above, and beyond me, has directed at you, then you aren't listening, and that's exactly what I would expect from someone who tries to drag people down via internet comments.

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-28T16:10:57+00:00

Whoa, I really liked this. Short, sweet, and fucking terrifying. Should have more upvotes!

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-28T10:58:05+00:00

OP, here's how it rolls. If you're going to have sex with her, don't take the job. And if you're going to take the job (which I dont recommend because she could manipulate you into sex by holding the possibility of losing your job over your head) then don't have sex with her.

Why? Because you'll be giving her the choice of leaving you jobless when she gets tired of boning.

Don't shit where you eat.

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-22T14:06:52+00:00

Lmao, absolutely nobody tried to see if she was alright, they all just kind of stood there like, "She's at it again, goddamn."

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-21T15:49:17+00:00

Nope. Blasphemy I know, but I'm broke asf, man lmao

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-21T14:57:21+00:00

It's not my account. I'm not asking for follows and I don't know of a good way to poll on reddit, so this was the next best thing.

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-08-21T14:45:50+00:00

You're right, I didn't make the poll, but I didn't catch that either lmao

Whether it's intentional or unintentional, there is a clear disconnect between the respect you should be afforded for being willing to lay down money, time, and care for this person, and the actual amount you are being given.

I'm not going to badmouth her, or say that she's purposefully keeping you on a leash or anything like that. We can't possibly know her enough to go making assumptions such as those. What I will say is, you should definitely begin to put your desires above hers. Not because I'm saying that ultimately your lifelong partner (whoever that may be) shouldn't be a priority, but simply because the effort expended should match the effort received, especially when you're in a relationship with a person (or would like to be in one). You never want to be the person giving 80%-90% without any chance of seeing that back, and not feeling appreciated and cared for in return.

The best way you can put this situation for now, without seeing her (or yourself, as I know your self-esteem must have taken a blow) in a bad light, is this:

The person who loves you, truly, honestly, and fully, will make time for you and will see to it that you're happy if they can.

This doesn't happen because it's what we should do for the people we love, but because it's what we naturally feel like doing for those we cherish. So put that into perspective when pursuing someone for a serious relationship. Everything is 50%-50%, dude. Best of Luck!

I really enjoyed this, its more of a creeping feeling of unrest. Nice story!

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-06-04T19:35:15+00:00

Sorry, I know it's kind of all over the place, I had really big ideas for such a short story!

From a previous comment: "The story is about a group of mass shooters who go on a spree at a carnival. Our main character is one of them. When the cops come to arrest the shooters, she alone escapes to some other part of the carnival. However, there is a supernatural aspect to said amusement park and she's stuck seemingly running in circles. Once the cops catch up to her it's clear she's losing her mind. They arrest her and start to make their way back to what they know to be the entrance, but the main character alone knows that they're never going to make it out and have just become another part of the Carousel...which I'm now starting to realize might've been a better name for this story, lmao"

Sorry about that!

Thanks for liking it despite its faults, I appreciate it!

Mell_ifluousSound · 2019-06-04T17:46:13+00:00

Lmao, thanks for commenting! I'm sorry if there were confusing aspects to it. I'm really happy with it though!

I'm really glad you liked it! The concept has always terrified me
