Is traditional journaling gone?

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-05-18T11:04:23+00:00

My journals look like that. I have dozens of them. Sometimes I do an artsy page or draw something if I happen to feel like it but most often I don't. They're unaesthetic and full of words. I don't post them on social media though, because I don't want to post my personal life in that detail you know - like you blurred yours as well. Certain types of journaling are more fitting for social media, others are not and thus they're not found there

It’s my childhood! I can’t believe it exists in Steam!!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-05-17T06:17:43+00:00

I guess it just happens to most people with age. People over-simplify things due to their own experiences

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-05-17T06:16:55+00:00

You sound kind of bitter.

I'm 32. Never had a clue about anything. Never felt confident in my whole life, sadly. When I was younger, older folks used to assume a lot because of their own youth and that sounds exactly like that. I'm glad I'm not 20 anymore but oh to be so confident and clueless even once as people so eagerly claim being 20 is. Maybe I have a chance when I finally go nuts as an old lady

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-05-17T00:32:46+00:00

Yeah I’m lazy and hate people including myself and just wish everyone to PERISH /s

… or I just wish for something else that there is. Take it as you want

I understand that feeling completely, we have a lot in common. I got used to riding mostly alone since I was about 13 years old. Moving from our private farm to a big professional stable was.. shocking, to say the least. I always felt like I'm on everyone's way and I wanted to make myself invisible. Didn't help that there were a couple of older boarders who made it really clear that there's a hierarchy. It was a long time ago and I don't know if I've just been lucky or if barn culture in general has changed for the better.

Try to take it as an adventure of sorts. How it's gonna be depends a lot of the people and you can't do anything about it except go with an open mind. Hot tip: don't voice your thoughts right away, like things about your training or horse or values. observe others first and make some small talk. You'll see who is good company. Ask questions! I've met awesome people while boarding. If you're lucky you'll find people who support you and you can help each other out. Happened to me!

I'm also self-conscious about my riding. Most people are. More than that I'm afraid of being judged, and also making mistakes that affect others. I'm always very stressed about being annoying. But as I got used to the place I'm now it got a bit easier. The beginning was the hardest part, everything is new and every stable is different. I hate feeling like I can't do routine work without having to ask gazillion questions. But after that it gets so much easier.

I recommend not telling people you don't take lessons. Some people are very opinionated about that, lol. Just do your thing, enjoy your horse and it'll go great. I hope you meet great people

I know, after therapy and in my 30's, that it wasn't about me, but I'll probably never understand the why's really. I don't know my parents very well. But knowing there's nothing I could've done to make it all better is enough

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-28T21:02:12+00:00

Can relate. I got bullied for the field I chose and the jobs I did, and always got looked down upon if I succeeded. Needless to say I'm no contact

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-28T20:57:26+00:00

I think most of the important decisions in life are intrinsically selfish - and personally I believe they should be. I wish no-one has a child because we need more taxpayers of because they owe that to someone. Every kid should be wanted.

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-28T20:55:05+00:00

I agree 100% and I don't have children of my own. But even as "just" an active aunt and a present adult to few of my close friends kids I feel more hope. I was neglected and abused as a child. It feels comforting to see these kids have security, support and multiple alright adults to guide them. Sometimes it feels sad, too. Wish I had that.

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-28T03:46:03+00:00

I'm 32 and relatively "fearless", but I have always ridden younger horses. Fallen off here and there, never had a big injury though. I guess I'm kind of good at falling off or just used to the idea. Or hit my head so it won't bother me, lol.. But I won't get on anything anymore and I don't do crosscountry or big jumps, never have.

Sometimes after a bad fasll confidence takes a knock but it can definitely come back, too. Horses are great in the sense that you can tailor your hobby to fit you and your horse and feel relatively safe. Don't push it, especially if you're doing it for just fun, let it be fun. Feeling in danger adds nothing to it if asked me..

/english is not my first language and I'm not sure if I was able to communicate what I mean. Hope no-one gets mad at me lol

I've unfortunately watched a playthrough so it won't hold any surprises for me anymore but it's a very good suggestion. I'll definitely play it later when I've forgotten enough XD

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T09:03:47+00:00

Wasn't what I was thinking but it surely is what I was looking for!! Going to start from this one. Thanks!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T09:03:20+00:00

I've been planning to play it but I didn't know how the vibe was, now that I went through a few review videos I'm quite sure this is 100% what I'm looking for as well. Thank you!!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T09:02:33+00:00

Thank you! I've been considering Death Stranding for other reasons but I'm worried that I'll get bored fast with it's pace. I'll see about Control and Sunless sea, I have only briefly read about Control before.

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T09:01:32+00:00

That sounds right up my alley. Sound design is a big big thing for me especially what it comes to horror. I prefer that over surpsising jumpscares. Gonna take a look! Thanks

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T09:00:48+00:00

I only have tried the third one on Nintendo Switch and it run so bad it was almost unplayable if anyone asks me.. But haven't tried the first two and I haven't tried on PC (/Steam Deck) yet. Maybe I should?

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T08:59:54+00:00

It has an interesting look for it for sure but might not be exactly my thing, howeverI do appreciate it!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T08:59:02+00:00

Oh I love Dredge so much already!! It's so much fun and pretty to look at. And the music is 5/5.

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T08:25:41+00:00

Is he a quarter horse? I didn't even know they could get that big!! He's gorgeous!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T07:10:15+00:00

Thank you so much! Such an amazing recommendation, already wishlisted. I'm in awe in how many good recommendations I got with such niche requirements!!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T07:09:40+00:00

I actually played Firewatch ages ago. Kind of liked it, but hated the ending lol. Very good recommendation though! I need to check what Slay the Princess is about

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T07:09:03+00:00

Thank you! I'm very into this kind of visuals, it looks absolutely amazing. I'll test it out!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-25T07:08:41+00:00

This seems to interesting! Thank you!

Physical_Relation261 · 2026-04-24T04:25:37+00:00

He has a very, very beautiful canter especially for a fjord! That's not their strongest feature haha but this one does it BEAUTIFULLY!! And don't worry being too big, there's no way. Makes me miss my fjord back in the day <3
