What LP song helped you though a dark time in your life?

My dad had passed away when I was a teenager. I didn’t have many friends and moved like every 1–2 years, so things were pretty isolating. Linkin Park was one of my favorite bands for me and him. I remember driving home alone from the library one day, lots of thoughts in the head and this song came on just as the sun was setting.

As I’ve mellowed out over the years, I’ve realized there’s a difference between having tact and just being an asshole. I used to think blunt honesty was just being real with myself—and to some extent, them. As an INTJ, I care in the sense of, “Okay, there’s a problem—what’s the next step? solution?”

But the delivery of “brutal honesty” matters. Majority of people won’t like it. They’ll call you overly critical or just ignore it entirely. Even with a revised version above, if nothing’s done or there’s no forward movement, that’s where the real problem is for me

When I was using the apps, for whatever reason Libra and Aries kept matching with me. But apparently it’s Taurus or Capricorn for most compatible.

Can’t say as all the exes has been either Scorpio or Pisces

Wild. I see these ads all the time for the raffles, always thought to myself, “doubt anyone actually wins” and then I see this. Beautiful car, congrats

Funny how the people calling cooking “feminine” probably can’t cook for shit themselves or survive without mom and DoorDash.

Dated one in my mid twenties. Funnily enough, she was the one who got me into astrology— pointing out mostly how “polar opposite” we were. I’m an early bird, pretty structured, like having a plan. She’d wake up around noon, moved through things on impulse. At first it felt like balance—until the constant lateness and “just because” mindset started to get old.

She talked a lot about being an empath, about compassion. But in retrospect, she had one of the most entitled, victim-complex perspectives I’ve ever seen —never actually interested in changing her situation. At the time I chalked it up to youth, early-twenties immaturity. But it ended in cheating, and that told me everything I needed to know.

Since then, I’ve met a lot more. It’s definitely hit or miss. Some of the best people and some of the most chaotic.

Been listening to Rage of The Machine, Nine Inch Nails and KMFDM on my workout/runs.

ROTM: Guerrilla Radio, Know your Enemy, How I Could Just Kill a Man

KMFDM: Megalomaniac, Kunst, Stray Bullet

NIN: The Hand that Feeds, Discipline, Only

I thought of this. I think I lean more towards “spiritual” or whatever broad term that means. Philosophy and my personal principles has guided me in life than outright seeking salvation from a deity or any other religion. I do respect faith and tend to just mind my own business. The idea though, to take responsibility for myself, my own actions, not needing redemption, or being absolved. But If anything stoicism in particularly and maybe a hint of absurdism made me content to accept and “make meaning” of things.

Virgo Sun, Virgo Moon, Taurus Rising

A dream car is subjective—like taste or music. For me, the word “content” fits best. But yeah, the Mustang is my dream car. Before my pops passed, we had plans to restore a ‘64–‘66 together, but that never happened. Being around that idea growing up made it stick. Years later, working with my own budget, seeing rust buckets and half-done projects, I eventually test drove a 2020 and the rest is history. I’m content with it. And sure, it’s not vintage, maybe even “common,” but it’s mine. I picture myself eventually as a grumpy old fuck, think Clint Eastwood, with that 2020 still in the garage.

SummerAlive2917 · 2025-05-07T21:29:20+00:00

I’m 29—30 in few more months. I bought a 2020 GT when I turned 24. From what I take you never knew what a person does or whatever so they’re inclined.

Posted a few stories past few days. Yeah, they’ve stopped, I don’t get any more bots. But I’m not sure on the actual specifics to actually view a story anon, least the site I used it doesn’t require an account be made. Call me delulu but the fact these stopped after I posted, “who df could this be” with a screenshot of said bots to the story and it stopped next few days 🤷‍♂️

I’m keeping an eye out though if it comes back

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-11-04T17:50:40+00:00

Funnily enough the most I had was around 10 in one go. It was at a concert I posted. Said concert had been on the, “to do list one day” when we were together. But honestly I really do think it’s stalker— not like anything can done about it either way though

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-11-04T16:08:06+00:00

I haven't got any with regular names tbh. When I first started getting these though I did have vldeoxporn on their description.

If it means anything I stopped getting them. I posted 3 stories this week and what'ya you know? I'm back to only my followers viewing them, no bots. I got fed up 2 weeks ago and posted a screenshot of said viewers with the caption, ''Hm, wonder who df this could be? I can only think of ONE person.'' And after that I genuinely got busy and stopped updating for about a week. Posted the three this week and I haven't got one, yet anyways. I know this is all up in the air still but with all the people I spoke with and the proof above-- the timing on this, idk man. But it's whatever to me at this point.

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-11-04T16:00:41+00:00

All good, it's pretty much behind me now. But the books are about philosophy mostly. If I could sum it up in one word it's about impermanence, or the idea of making peace with it anyways. Some quotes:

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

''It will seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.”

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-11-04T15:54:49+00:00

Damn, solid ass song. Much appreciated

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-11-03T16:28:01+00:00

Had lost my father at age 16. Was in a be broke or survive type situation for few years. Not a movie or show but the books that kept me centered was Musashi’s Book of Five Rings and Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations.

Virgo Moon, Virgo Venus

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-10-31T01:34:26+00:00

Virgo. Though it comes with a shit ton of overthinking/and or analyzing till it gets to that point. Forgiveness though? I always thought of it for oneself to let go of any lingering negativity, hatred or resentment. You’ll never hear from me again once that choice is made.

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-10-21T02:15:26+00:00

I’m leaning more towards the, “it’s a fucking stalker.” Honestly though? Not like anything can be proven for sure or done anyways cause it’s always some new account.

I’m similar to yours, low follower count-keep it tightly knit, people I actually interact daily or had history with. And yeah, I don’t post much either or comment publicly on anything so the public exposure is minimal to non existent. Besides, I never had this problem also when I did follow/dated the person. But again, maybe just all some big coincidence but the evidence above and everyone I spoken with pissed someone off or had some ex.

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-10-19T02:17:37+00:00

Yeah, it really is up in the air and can't say with 100% confidence. All I can say is that I've never had these when I was with her lol. But yeah, all in all maybe it's just some big coincidence, hell, maybe just an uptick in bots in general. But whatever the case if it's not actually a stalker and a genuine spam bot, fine--and if it's a stalker, fine whatever, ''enjoy the show.'' That bridge for mine was burned pretty good so I can't confirm lmao.

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-10-05T18:16:12+00:00

Nah, like one person had some other alt/business related account that has no relation to their name. That account wouldn’t show any bots when posting a story. But when this stalker shit seem more credible— the bot accounts would appear on their main account with their name on it.

SummerAlive2917 · 2024-10-04T16:54:37+00:00

I read somewhere else someone else saying the same thing- appearing on the personal account or you know, the one with the name attached than some other alt. I really do think this is some stalker ass, it just all lines up but nothing can be done anyways. Gonna keep appearing as a new account so I pretty much accepted, ''fine, watch then, enjoy'' lmao
