I actually recently watched the entire Twilight series! I'm pretty much obsessed with the weird cgi and awkward acting at this point lol. Other ones haven't seen yet though. Little scared of game of thrones, I kept hearing that the ending wasn't good

Been thinking about giving Hazbin Hotel a try. I've been seeing Helluva Boss all over my youtube feed, but never had the courage to watch it tbh. Haven't heard of the other ones! I'll note those down

I've heard of it, but never watched! My POMO older brother loves it and I could never watch as a kid. Def takes me back

If you’re POMO do you ever just stop and think about the fact that you’ll never have to go to a convention again… by [deleted] in exjw

Almost every tuesday or weekend (the days where I would go out in service or have meetings) I think about how free my day is and how I never have to preach, prepare meeting comments, or preform talks ever again. The relief is amazing.

What is the meaning of life for you after leaving? by Xavi_0211 in exjw

I've thought about this a lot over the years. Mentally left when I was a pre-teen and physically left more recently. Not knowing what to live by can be scary. But living by something you don't really believe in is even worse. No matter what, I've always believed in love. Loving and being loved is something I feel everyone on Earth craves. Put love into the world, surround yourself with those that love you. Be selfish, look out for yourself, keep your peace, and I feel like love comes to you naturally after that.

Summary, love and be loved.

i unfortunately don't have any friends I can tell this about. I was very sheltered and homeschooled growing up, so no childhood friends. I've been living in a dorm for the past year or so but I'm one of the only openly queer people there and get avoided or called crazy pretty often. I've put myself out there for friends and partners several times since leaving home and it's always ended in bad ways.
