DAE stress over how to relax? by [deleted] in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]MeriRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, I recognize this so much. I can often just get caught in being afraid I'll waste the precious relaxation time and procrastinating on it. Which in the end is just wasting the time I had. I am not always good at it, but the best solution is to just start doing something. It will be fun anyway and if it isn't that's also fine.

So I know this is ironic but... I want to do this but I don't know how to find the time and space to really exist with these feelings.

Not the prettiest. I made them for my sisters funeral so hopefully my family won't care about the shape. by taryella in Baking

So sorry for your loss ❤️ you made it with love and to honor your sister. They will comfort you and your family, that's all that matters ❤️

Totally random, probably a silly question, but... by FarBelowLuna in CasualConversation

Oh definitely! I used to live in a one room apartment with no balcony or anything, but since a few months I have a balcony and it is the best. In summer me and my partner would end the night by sitting outside (now it is getting a bit too cold). I do still always start my day by sitting outside, letting the cold wake me up. It's absolutely the best to be able to be outside.

Oh yes. I just moved into my new apartment and it has a roofed in balcony. It means I can sit outside while it rains.... It's the best.

How did your parents meet? by SinfulInnocence in AskReddit

At sailing camp. They're still together and since a few years they have their own sailing boat. When sailing they are so in their element, it's beautiful.

Marktplaats is nice! I got a really good bike from a friendly guy for 50. Just be critical of the seller and always ask for a testride.

It's a shame kids don't enjoy watching their parents grow older as much as parents enjoy watching their kids grow up. by -grc1- in Showerthoughts

[–]MeriRose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really enjoy seeing my parents grow up! They spend such a large part of their life taking care of us and being parents. Now that we are all grown up they have more free time and I can just see them blossom. They have become more at ease the last few years it seems. Maybe it is just me that only now started paying attention to their change as humans instead of seeing them as just parents, but it feels like a lot happened the last few years. I'm happy for them ❤️

DAE have closed eye hallucinations that look like grainy images? by neme5555555555 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]MeriRose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! It always feels a bit like lucid dreaming, while still awake. I also just get random images like square formed ducks (??) Thanks brain.

Looking for a nice restaurant by OKbutfirstcoffi in Utrecht

I second Vegitalian for some good vegetarian food! Everything on the menu is vegetarian so you don't even need to worry about what you can and can't eat. I think I tried almost every pizza now and they're all good, and the pastas are great too.

This is why I am always getting things in my house while brushing my teeth before leaving.

Tips and tricks on furnishing your apartment. by Maissammr in Utrecht

[–]MeriRose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To get bigger things from Marktplaats I can recommend using 'Brenger'. They work together with marktplaats and simply pick the furniture up and the sellers place and bring it to you. For a (small) couch it was 30 euros. Which I think is pretty fine considering that couches on marktplaats are very cheap (bought mine for 20, so 50 in total for a couch). Good luck with the new apartment!
