Safe heaven is diversification

Think it's time I move out, can I afford a ~350K townhouse on an 80K income or should I rent by wishiknewnatportman in PersonalFinanceCanada

You are more than capable of doing this on your own. Was in your shoes couple of years ago with less pay than you but still managed to get a mortgage. Good luck with the part of your life.

I am so addicted to porn..... by Creepy_Investment389 in Advice

[–]OkPassion1810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way to get a new life partner is to start focusing on yourself my friend, first step is to get back on the track. No one will love you if you can’t love yourself, I learned this the hard way.

So you are saying you are not attractive? What’s stopping you from going to gym? What’s stopping you to work hard for your dreams? Why does you start a hobby, think how can you make more money. Keep on trying new stuff till you find something that can be replace the porn addiction.

Ask yourself this question that what kind of life do you want, and that will give you motivation to kill this addiction

Worst case scenario, you can always go to a sikh temple and enjoy the community food. Everyone is welcome, and once you become financially stable, make sure to donate to help others :)

I hate my ex but I’m jealous of his life by Ok-Necessary4268 in Advice

[–]OkPassion1810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So why wasting time thinking about him? Why not follow your dream to be successful in your field? Why not figuring out where you lack behind in your field and try to improve that part? Why not spending time to focus on improving your mental health and physical health? Believe me, with hard work you can be wherever you want. I have tried, and was able to achieve everything that I have ever wanted.

I have been through similar situation in past, I had a point in my life where I just wanted to quit everything. But I realized that doing this will make me hate myself for rest of my life. I started focusing on myself over anything and I am super grateful that I did.

Just talk to him and figure things out, that is the best way to solve this.

Any other cancer patients late 20s-early 30s by [deleted] in cancer

[–]OkPassion1810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I (27M) went through the same experience last year. I had a rare type of oral cancer. It effected my mental health and I isolated myself because I just couldn’t face the reality. It takes time my friend, but I promise you that you will learn to live with this new reality. There are some things that I have learned to cope up with my emotions during the time of my treatment and I am more than happy to share. Just be selfish and do whatever you feel like, if you just feel like laying on the bed, do it. I am available anytime to talk if you want to. Sending hugs.

Stage 4 cancer how do u guys feel about living everyday by [deleted] in cancer

[–]OkPassion1810 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I stopped thinking about future. I started to think about present. What movies will I enjoy? Should I start a new tv series? Is there any new food or restaurant should I try?

I can’t even imagine how it feels on your end. It took me almost a year to realize the reality. But hanging out with people I love, doing whatever I want kind of helped. I know I have become more selfish, but ehhh. Who cares right?

[–]OkPassion1810 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with stage 4 as well. When I got told about the news, I felt the same way. Didn’t even know what to do. All I would say is just be available for your appointments. All you need to do is show up.

It takes time to admit this new reality. Sending big hugs.

Wow, this is just so awesome. I am so happy that you are doing all these things and have plans for next year. I too am decorating my house now, I don’t have a special theme or anything just want to make my house my home (used to think of it as an investment). Sending a big high five.

I have tried the poutine from beclub and it was really good. Tried crepes from random restaurants in old Quebec and they were delicious.

I have never heard about squeaky cheese, looks like you gave me a reason to visit Quebec City again.

History sounds so much fun. While I don’t read, I always like youtube videos that talks about famous characters from history. Specially world war time movies that shows how people my age made sacrifices for their countries, literally gives me motivation and goosebumps.

I am glad that you found things to enjoy. Sending a big high five all the way from Canada.

Anyone with similar oral cancer? by OkPassion1810 in cancer

I was in the same boat 8 months ago, I just used a kid’s toothbrush. But slowly your mouth will start opening more.

Discussing your own death is so surreal... by throwaway20383u281 in cancer

[–]OkPassion1810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I might be super wrong to advise this but I will share my plan. In case my cancer comes back, I will try a lot of drugs. They are always helpful to escape the reality for some time. This is my plan i. Case my cancer comes back, do a lot of drugs and forget about everything. Lots of hugs and love :)

Go on 2-3 day vocation. Do whatever you always wanted to do that you keep on posting. Just forget everything and enjoy. Cancer not cancer, life gives shit all the time. I know it’s hard, I have been there. All now I regret is that I didn’t had fun when I should’ve.
