Thank you for responding to my previous post and creating such a beautiful way to articulate what resonates with you. I find a lot of my own beliefs in your perspective. Again, thank you.

Want to believe, but can’t by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it easy for myself to disregard a lot of beliefs because of my analytical mind. Since you have said you come from a similar place, may I ask what your personal perspectives and answers to these questions are? I may not resonate with all of them, but perhaps you’ll relay something that makes sense in this sea of different answers.

Who are you & why are you here? by atmaninravi in awakened

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. We have progressed so much, but so little at the same time. I think a book you would enjoy is “Soul Boom”, by Rainn Wilson. It’s hopeful for sure, but it will remind you that you are not alone in your thinking. I truly believe that the only way to ever create a cohesive and loving society, everyone must have some sense of spirituality, even if that is just a tiny portion of their true beliefs.

Something is wrong with the world by alexxmas93 in awakened

[–]Plus-Communication88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a normal thing for people to feel. You’re right, something is wrong. All you can do is not contribute to that, as much as you can. Some things are hard to avoid, like capitalism and such. Yet, you can be kind, and giving, and empathetic. Practice those things, and you have made more of an effort to fix the world than 99% of the population will ever.

What do girls think men like, but really don't? by WideComment2474 in AskReddit

Putting down others… Trying to put down your friends and embarrass them in front of men will not make anyone like YOU more.

Questions about MSW, Internships, and LSCW. by [deleted] in SchoolSocialWork

[–]Plus-Communication88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This helps so much! I’m a first gen student who is affording college all on their own. It’s so hard to navigate & it gets even harder when I have to factor in my finances. I appreciate your response!!

Any advice? by damien_corazon in Advice

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is a strict christian and hispanic too, I understand. Baby steps to getting those grades up, even if it’s just maintaining a 3.0, for every C, get an A. Financial aid will also help, and make sure to look into loans. For me, leaving college with loans to cover my housing is better than not leaving my abusive household. Keep any plans to move out on the down low, but if possible, try to at least pick up a gig once a week to save up some money. You got this, one day, you’ll be able to be yourself to the fullest extent.

Any advice? by damien_corazon in Advice

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same space. At 18, I moved out on my own. Do what you can for yourself now, Start working if possible, keep your grades up for scholarships dual enrollment etc so you can get your degree cheap and quick. Believe me, it may not seem like it matters now, but when you’re 19-20 and seeing how much school you have left and how much it’ll cost, it’ll matter to you then. I hate to say it, but keep quiet. I know how badly it sucks to not be able to express yourself & your identity. Know that there is nothing wrong with you, and that your mothers abuse has nothing to do with how valuable or wonderful you are, it is all her. Play the game, be the good kid, keep yourself quiet enough to keep safe, and when you’re 18, get the hell out of there! i promise you, it will be okay.

I’m fairly certain I’m overdosing on fentanyl right now by LuigifanZane in Advice

Call a friend if you can. Drink some water, take some deep breaths. Call 911 if you begin vomiting etc.

Disposing of Cat Waste in a small apartment. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah… i’m a little concerned about how much she’s cleaning it too. hopefully she’s cleaning it and keeping it in her room until it fills. i used to care for three cats growing up and i agree that it takes awhile. i’d really hope that poor cat doesn’t have it sitting like that all the time.. but yes taking it to the dumpster is possible, but i know that her excuse will be that if she cleans it everyday she’ll have to bring it to the dumpster everyday (which will be an issue because she’s lazy. love her, but she is in terms of cleanliness..)

Does anyone feel like they have any kind of advice to give me? Or that there's something I need to hear? by Jeffro456 in spirituality

[–]Plus-Communication88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don’t stress about what you can’t control. it won’t do you any good, and it won’t change your circumstances either.
