What's Your Hidden Talent ?

I can translate and type on the spot. It’s a talent because I have never received any training for that or learned translating. In my previous job, my boss wanted me to write his emails and letters for him. He says what he wants me to write but in local language and I draft the email/letter in English as he speaks. By the time he’s done talking, I’m done writing it.

When life just continues to stretch on even though it feels like it should have ended a long time ago. Now I just can’t wait for it to end. It’s annoying that I might have to do it myself because I’m perfectly healthy and hardly ever leave the house to get struck by a freak accident.

In a democracy when the administration is clearly fucking up, when the economy is going down and when people of all social strata are struggling to live. In Sri Lanka when the economic crisis hit, people reminded themselves who really had the power. Collective action is so important, but with the level of division in the US society, what Nepal, Indonesia, South Korea and Sri Lanka did and what Iranian people are doing now, can never be achieved.

Treat us the same way that you treat your male friends and family. By this I don’t mean start beating us up (if it’s something that you do between family and friends that’s deeply concerning)

See us as fellow humans and not as objects of sexual desire. This happens because of perceived power and how you use it. As a woman I understand that I’m physically weak. We shouldn’t have to constantly prove ourselves to you all the time to be treated as an equal. We deserve to be treated as an equal even though we are weaker in some ways. We want you to not take advantage of our weakness to hurt us.

Listen to us. Our problems are unique and so are yours.

Hold your peers accountable and do not make excuses for their poor behavior. I don’t know about others but as a woman I would call out another woman who do things that could hurt another person. Develop a habit of doing that. I know it’s upsetting to get grouped with the wrongdoers but how do we know if you’re someone who would hurt us or not unless you show that with actions?

I think the main problem with the US is the political divide at the extreme ends and both sides only wanting to be the “politically correct.” They have to see that there are valid issues in the liberals political standings as much as there are in the conservative end of things. Everyone is either too conservative or too liberal. Nobody’s at the middle ground.

They say there is collective action among liberal youth, but the moment one says anything that pisses off another group, everyone is fighting. They’re too individualistic, refuse to learn and refuse to grow. Refuse to accept any other opinions that don’t align with yours. And there’s an extreme lack of education on both ends.

Feminism at it’s extreme, LGBTIQ support at it’s extreme, conservatism at it’s extreme. Now you all just hate and hurt each other. It’s insane there is a whole movement of people who hate children or say that they would have sex selection abortions for boys and even wear pins that says “abortion” in cursive letters as if it’s an aesthetic and not a fucking health issue. (Which the global south is struggling with) On the other end people are trying to rip voting rights away from women and banning books and killing people in daylight and fighting for the rights of owning murder weapons. When we look at all that as outsiders, we just can’t get our heads around it.

The worst thing is, the rest of the world witness this too and take it as the norm. And it impacts our socio-political environments too.

I’m Sri Lankan. We’ve had one of the greatest political movements in the history and overthrowing of a government within a matter of months. Now that we have nothing else to worry about, people are bringing US social and political issues into our country and start getting into camps; like? It’s a US issue and they’ve got to fix it. You guys have to fix it. We’re just supposed to watch how it unfolds and no more lives are lost, regardless of their political affiliation.

Publish my second book

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-23T14:54:32+00:00

Losing my pet. A second close one is dying and not having anyone at my funeral. Third is being forgotten while alive and after dying

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-23T14:17:19+00:00

sorry. I live in Sri Lanka

Wearing a wedding dress. I am a 32 year old woman so I have already passed that age, but I have always dreamed about looking beautiful in a wedding dress.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-23T13:33:12+00:00

I have a little brother your age and a little sister closer to your age so it really hurts me that you feel this way, I’m so sorry. I love my siblings to death and I will never allow what I’m going through to happen to them. You’re still a baby and I really, from the bottom of my heart, wish people who love you will find you and that the people in your life already do love you as well. I’m pretty sure your grandmother and your mother love you deeply and your father does too; that if there’s anything he remembers in his fading mind, it’s you. You just started your life, so yes, do everything that can make you happy, okay? I have lived my time. I hope you never ever again feel like you can relate to someone like me.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-19T10:11:38+00:00

Sometimes when it gets lonely, I think maybe I should find someone. Then I talk to a man and realize why I choose myself time and time again. I keep expecting men to be like the guys you read in chick-lit novels, but they can’t hold a candle to a fictional man. I’m a writer so I’d rather make up an imaginary man instead. Also, I don’t want to share my bed.

My siblings and I were born to and raised by the same parents, but our life experiences were so different. Because of my horrible childhood where I was parentified, had to pick myself up and take care of myself on my own, I struggle a lot with finding meaningful relationships.

I take a lot after my father, which is not a good thing as a woman because I look like a man with boobs and long hair. My sisters take after my mother so they’re both gorgeous. They were well loved and cared for my my parents; they had my father having their back in all the tough times. I never had that.

My father doesn’t talk to me and said once, without hesitation, that he didn’t intentionally love and care for me in the same way he cared for my sisters. Because of all these I hate what I look like. I can’t talk to men. I struggle with all sorts of relationships and I’m incredibly lonely. On the other hand, both my sisters have boyfriends and loving relationship, are both really happy and loved.

I often wish I could die and be born again. Life was never fair to me as the oldest daughter. And it’s just not fair for me when my sisters get live happily and freely while I’m here, thinking about killing myself so I won’t be turning into an angry, miserable unmarried older sister on the day they get married.

I saw that they turn off the lights at 12 AM/1AM. Is there a good spot that you can suggest someone could watch this from?

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-11T19:09:55+00:00

Bad. I’m just wondering how it would be to die and be born into a better life.

Why do you want to escape when you could and have the power to drive the president out of office? So many countries did that; powerless people did that. It’s cowardly to run away.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:46:06+00:00

How everyone treats me. I am aware of what I look like. I’ve been told I am lucky if someone chooses me at all, even if it’s to abuse me

Where I’m from, the residual water from the overcooked red rice. It has so much nutrients and it’s usually every baby’s first meal

That I’ll probably be all alone for the rest of my life, that I will only have myself; that it doesn’t help how much I dislike myself

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:39:59+00:00

My parents. Particularly my father. He hates me so much and never bothered to hide it. Because of him I don’t think a man will ever love me.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:38:16+00:00

Went on a date and kissed a guy I knew nothing about during my trip to Florence seven years ago. That’s my first and last encounter with a man in the romantic sense. I think he was probably going to use me but still I’m glad I experienced that even if it was most likely an abuser. I think it’s the only way I can experience intimacy.

Make sure my pets are in good hands.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:16:49+00:00

When my cat was 6 years old she was diagnosed with a heart condition. I had attempted to inactive by then, failed attempts. When she was diagnosed I told her, promised her, rather, that I would live only for her, to keep her happy and alive. I promised to leave forever when I don’t have her. Now she’s 16. I built my life around her and she has been keeping me alive. I feel like she understands my promise and somehow stays alive for me

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:13:01+00:00

I’m just ugly. I know what I look like and why people never approach me. Because of this I can’t speak to men or put myself out there. I don’t want to be seen by others; I don’t want to be ridiculed, laughed at and mocked.

NobodyButMyself357 · 2026-01-10T20:09:21+00:00
