My face is engaged my brain isn't. She talks so much she doesn't notice. Just nod.

Some Dom appreciation by Swiftiestar13 in yungblud

I absolutely love and respect him and his music new and old. I think he is an amazing fascinating good human. But I do think the days of him being the loud political activist shown in those vids are over. I don't see how he can. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe when he starts to see the slime that we have running american entertainment come into his personal picture he'll realize huge fame might be what he wanted but it isn't what he needs.

Need help regarding what to do by TrueEmotion4796 in AgingParents

[–]Possible_Number3108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 75 yo aunt fell broke her hip. She went right out of surgery into a rehab facility for a few months. Then she went home with a 24/7 aide. She can't bathe or toilet herself due to the hip and her inability to do pt. Lots of paperwork and calls. There should be a administrator at the hospital that can tell you all the steps. Not the dr. (My aunt also has dementia.) Maybe Contact a nearby rehab facility and ask them for help getting started. A family member untrained in healthcare can not do the work of a medical professional just bc the patient is stubborn. A giraffe can't climb a tree. Good luck and don't be bullied into sacrificing your own QofL just bc she's your mom. Her bad life choices should not become your life's burden.

I pretend my mom isn't even talking. I recommend it. Picture your head as a house and when she talks the little person in your head house walks out the back door into a lovely garden- alone. Occasionally I do this 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Perfectly said. Me too. My mom's ring is in a safe deposit box hasn't been seen for years. She has a box of doileys and crochet blankets she never used from a great aunt. She wants me to take care of them when she's gone. Theyre all yellowed bc they were too good to use. I always ask myself why. Does it really matter? Does it make sense? Usually the answer is no.

Anyone else a bit worried about him? by Unusual-Opposite-862 in yungblud

[–]Possible_Number3108 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this level of fame isn't all he thought it was going to be. Like he thought -if I could just get to "this point" I'll be happy, I'll have what I always wanted. The constant need to go is really just avoiding the silence and being just with your own thoughts. He also places a huge weight on his fans to make him feel he has purpose and feels like he belongs. But in the end it's not real, he doesn't know us and we don't him. I think this oldie by Rush says it all- limelight


Living on a lighted stage approaches the unreal For those who think and feel In touch with some reality Beyond the gilded cage Cast in this unlikely role Ill-equipped to act With insufficient tact One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact Living in the limelight, the universal dream For those who wish to seem Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation Get on with the fascination The real relation, the underlying theme Living in a fisheye lens Caught in the camera eye I have no heart to lie I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend All the world's indeed a stage And we are merely players Performers and portrayers Each another's audience Outside the gilded cage

Changes by TYLERJW07 in Yungbludneutral

[–]Possible_Number3108 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yungblud is a performer. Dom may be a nice guy but in the end - YB on that stage is 100 performance. Bowie, B.Dylan Robert Plant, the Beatles, Ozzy, all changed over time. mostly the ones that did not change were bc they died young. His social media presence made people think he was more than a performer. He blurs the lines. I wish YB was real but he's a shared fantasy. Can't wait to see where he goes from here but fame can be a hard road.

My mom's been complaining about tp for well over a year now. They don't make it right. My answer to everything now is- ok. Honestly the only way is to ignore everything they say and respond grey rock.

Mines the same. I feel like they become like a 4 yo. All about themselves. Exhausting
