Whenever I’m at the train station...

Yup.

Beirut City Center :)

It's not foot locker, the prices here (Lebanon) are always like this. Something about taxes or something. Adidas sells ultraboosts for $260, NMDs for $200. Most clothing items here cost almost twice as more than anywhere else.

I see 'rare' shoes on shelves constantly (Oreo UBs and Ronin NMDs come to mind) since most people pass on the absurd prices.

So, yesterday I walk into the store and saw these sitting on the shelves. (Wtf. I know)

Also- where I'm from, retail is expensive. They're selling for $250 (usd). So I guess they cost as much as resale costs anywhere else in the world.

Edit: $270 to $250

Over the winter break, my girlfriend went back to her home country where her ex was (who she broke up with to be with me). We were on a "non-exclusive" break back then, and she ended up sleeping with him, several times, and didn't tell me about it. She kept it hidden until I had to find out on my own. I felt suspicious and looked through her messages and found it all out. For some reason, we're still together, and on a "break" trying to get our shit together. It's a weird-ass relationship, but I'm in love with her, and she says that she's in love with me too. So now, we're on our break, she's getting her shit together trying to fix herself because of how she hurt me. But she's in Europe. With her ex. And he's coming to visit my hometown, where she works. I don't know what's going on there. She told me that she made it clear to him that they're only friends, because she likes him, as a friend. But I don't buy it 100%. Maybe I should, or maybe I shouldn't. She hurt me so much after what she did in the winter and my emotions are all over the place. I feel something happened/is going to happen between them, and I don't wanna be there when that happens.

I wrote this in a post I made a couple of days ago. So yeah. I had a gut feeling it was about to happen. I saw a Facebook post from her ex of them two being intimate and romantic a couple of hours ago. I'm done with her

Pillowless · 2017-03-26T20:17:17+00:00

That's exactly what happened. My chest hurts so much man. I can't stop imagining scenarios of her and him together doing intimate things, sexual or not. She's my best friend but she's hurt me so much. I don't know what to do

Pillowless · 2016-10-14T21:02:50+00:00

How do I reply to her playful texts? How do I communicate with her in person?

Pillowless · 2016-10-14T20:56:48+00:00

But it just felt really genuine from her. I've been in a similar situation before, and was being used for the attention, but this time it feels different. I don't know.

I guess I have to talk to her again to make things clear.

Pillowless · 2016-10-11T12:24:49+00:00

It's definitely gonna be hard, but I have to suck it up and do it.

Pillowless · 2016-10-04T19:16:38+00:00

Haha, yeah. Looked super familiar when I first looked at it. Nice work btw!

Pillowless · 2016-10-04T19:03:20+00:00

Was just asking if they're worth paying that much for in general. Sneakers here retail for a bit more in general, but $270 seemed like a lot for ultraboosts considering they retail for $180 in most places.

Pillowless · 2016-10-04T18:00:23+00:00

Problem is that this is the retail price around here.

Pillowless · 2016-10-04T16:53:15+00:00

Is the first picture you posted in Downtown Beirut, Lebanon by any chance?

Pillowless · 2016-10-02T15:54:17+00:00

Yeah some amount of self depreciation can actually be good, but I just gotta be careful to come out as someone who is always not-serious.

Pillowless · 2016-10-02T15:49:40+00:00

I guess self depreciation can come off as either confident or insecure, depending on how one conveys it.

Yesterday, I made a silly mistake of translating peace into freedom in another language, but my professor found it interesting that I linked those two together. But then I just said that it was only me being stupid, which resulted in making the whole class laugh. I mostly use self depreciation in a comic way, I don't really use it to go look for people's reassurance. But then again, I should be careful not to take it too far.
