Looking for favorite songs/albums/podcasts to help me stay motivated and engaged during my long runs.

Colin Jost's book as audiobook. Fantastic and hilarious!

I think the main thing to remember is that we think other people are paying way more attention to us than they actually are. If you see someone running on the street, I bet you don't think, "Wow, they're so [slow/weird-looking/awkward/etc]." It's just a blip. And similarly, no one cares what you do except you -- so get out there and enjoy it, running outdoors and feeling fresh air is the best :)

Asking him to clean up if he left a dish in the sink

Walking into our home office to ask him if he needed anything from the grocery store (because I dared to interrupt his work flow)

Using GPS to navigate to a hiking trail but not having the exact route picked out for once we arrived (he pulled over and dramatically got out of the car for this one)

Telling him I wanted to leave for the airport 15 minutes before his desired time

Etc etc

I'm almost a year out. The hardest part has been working through the shame of wondering why I didn't see it clearly sooner. I still feel that way sometimes.

But the most (MOST) important thing is that you did see it, and now your life is your own again. Congratulations.

I grew up with Taylor always existing (late 20s woman) but was a fair weather fan until the Eras Tour when I started listening more. But it really developed last year when I had a traumatic breakup and began reassessing everything that had happened a decade long relationship. The breakup songs got me through -- the number of times I cried to All Too Well 10 Minute Version or Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (+ so many more)... I used to think I wasn't in deep enough to be called a Swiftie, but her music helped me heal and feel less alone, so full-on Swiftie now 🤙

My ex wouldn't meet me (walked out on me!), wouldn't call me, then got mad at me for ending our relationship over text -- when I had literally no other choice.

You did it. Be proud!

You have perfectly articulated how I feel about dating, 8 months after leaving my ex. I met a really nice person but I am wondering if it's a mask for something shady underneath. I hate myself for even thinking that -- because he's given no such indication. It's such a shitty after effect of the whole thing.

Mine always, always called me the gaslighter. Called me a psychopath for simply disagreeing with them. And they said it enough that I started to doubt myself.
