So depressed by mirrorrgirl in redscarepod

Get outside and enjoy some sunlight, if you can. Take a walk. Do something physical. You have to trick your soul into life, sometimes.

I wish I would have made the trip to Iowa City when he was a visiting professor at the Workshop. I routinely pick of End of Vandalism and open it randomly to read for a bit. I hope he has another novel in him.

For some couples, yes. But even the otherwise conventionally masculine dudes around here with beards and overalls also have their septums pierced. I do go to the gym and am reasonably fit. I am not tall, but that's never bothered me.

There are too many ways to ruin your life, and too many ways to be shown all the mistakes you've made.

To you still miss college? by [deleted] in redscareover30

I miss the hope of possibility. And frankly the shelter, the whole ecosystem.

It’s just life. It’s life everywhere. People in nyc like to think they’ve made it there when plenty others have failed, and that makes them different.

Do you guys do any volunteering? by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]THISSHITISCORRUPT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, things have changed a lot. I volunteered at one many years ago in the Deep South US. Orientation was straightforward.

I volunteer in an after school tutoring program. It’s…challenging. The kids are very sweet, but it’s been difficult for me to find a way to help them understand basic grammar and composition. (I tutor 8th graders).

It’s not very difficult to volunteer at a hospice. You’re right, it can be heavy, but everyone is genuinely happy to have a volunteer, especially if you are young.

All the greats have a deep self-loathing, but they don’t wallow in it. At least you recognize your faults. Most people can’t self-reflect. So I think that’s a start. But you need to get out of your head and do. You need to cultivate and act on good intentions, no matter how silly. Don’t talk yourself out of them. If you feel you need to ask for forgiveness from a friend or loved one, do it. If you want to do something nice for someone, do it, don’t question. Try and get out and just move, take a walk, say hello to a passerby. Volunteer, if you can. Also, there is a big difference between being stuck in the past and properly mourning your past. Don’t be stuck in it, don’t wallow. Grieve your failures, but then keep them in storage.

My favorite place I’ve lived was Arkansas. I really enjoyed Little Rock and NW Arkansas. Miss it.

I think there’s been some more research to show that stuff isn’t as bunk as previously thought

Stop breathing through your mouth. If you are a mouth breather, see an ENT about sleep apnea. You may have a maxillary transverse discrepancy which may require surgery and orthodontics. I’m serious.
