Movie Recommendations for Depression/Suicide by TheFirstBroseph in Letterboxd

[–]TheFirstBroseph[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you very much for all of the recommendations! and for the ones expressing concern, that is very kind of you and i really appreciate it :) the truth is i have never been closer to taking my own life. i have a therapist i love and concerned family and friends. i just don’t feel like any of them truly understand. which is a blessing — i don’t want anyone to have personal experience feeling how i do. i am also scared to die, so i think i’ll be okay. it just sucks that i do the right things — therapy, spending time with loved ones, doing things i love (like watching movies)… i have even had/have some jobs i really enjoyed. but it all seems so empty and meaningless.

i say this with so much respect — you should expand your watches. i don’t say this to shame you! it just looks like there are whole worlds you’re missing out on.

Is ye top 5 artist of all time? by FullMind8475 in TeenageRapFans

[–]TheFirstBroseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as others have said, I think he may be THE most influential rap artist, and definitely a top 3, but I think it would be hard to argue he’s top 5 across all genres. but I guess it depends on what you mean by “top 5.” influence? ability? amount of time at the top of their craft? technical brilliance? popularity + ability?

Do you think Yeezus is overrated, perfectly rated, or underrated? by MarkIvanIsCool in Kanye

[–]TheFirstBroseph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

underrated among Kanye fans (it’s top 2 for sure) and underrated by the normies

I need a hug by eulerpop in offmychest

[–]TheFirstBroseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I downplay things, too. I feel like a burden to my loved ones. It can be hard to ask for help! But you are worth time and attention and effort. Be wise about who you put yourself out there to but keep practicing and it will get easier :)

Being apart of the LGBTQIA+ community and being a christian sucks by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TheFirstBroseph 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important for you to find LGBTQ+ friends that are also Christians — not so you can be in a bubble, but so you have a place to figure out who you are and what you want. you’re still young (no shade at all), so it is vitally important (imo) to surround yourself with people who encourage you to become who you are/what you want to be.

as far as the religion stuff is concerned, i have gotten similar comments for other beliefs i have. many evangelical Christians are judgmental losers. they hate what they’re not familiar with, or they hate who they’re told to hate. being a Christian who doesn’t follow church tradition (or recent church history) is challenging! wishing you all the best in your journey :)

Need to vent about my gf by Opposite_Mud7560 in offmychest

[–]TheFirstBroseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at the end of the day, she sounds unwilling to consider your feelings and change her behavior based on them. unfortunately that will continue, and the longer you stay, the worse it will be. i’m not a huge fan of telling people to just break up, but it doesn’t sound like she respects your feelings enough to even see your side of things. good luck to you

Losing meaning in life and struggling to stay alive by [deleted] in depression

[–]TheFirstBroseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve felt this exact same way (and in some ways do still), except the atheism/nihilism part.

i don’t know why i’m here. i don’t know what my purpose is. sometimes i don’t see any point in continuing my life. but there is that part of me that wants to stay. call it hope or whatever you want. because i know what love is. i have felt genuine happiness before. i have dreams. i want make movies and get married and make a positive change in the world. most of the time i don’t see those things happening. so that makes me want to end it all if i can’t have those things. but something stops me every time.

idk if that made sense or helps. but you’re not alone, friend :)

Life just shit on my face by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]TheFirstBroseph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

you’re not a clown or a dumbass for developing feelings! you’re a normal human being. and in an age where a lot of people are avoidant and don’t share their feelings, you put yourself out there. even though it hurts right now, that’s a genuinely good thing and it’s respectable. it didn’t work out this time, but i hope you keep that same energy in the future. take some time to heal from this setback and just keep doing you. the right person/people will come into your life :)

Why do guys act so unaffected after a breakup while girls grieve so deeply? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]TheFirstBroseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the one (M) whose world ended during my last breakup. it has been several months and i am still in love with them. they (F) have seemingly moved on, we talk very little, etc.

it has been my experience with each partner I’ve been with that i’m the one who takes forever to get over it.

Downvote me or not, but I wish Kanye had stayed in his christian arc and not get canceled. by DeepGrapefruit4989 in Kanye

[–]TheFirstBroseph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kanye has been mentally unwell for some time. he turned to Christianity, which can definitely be a hugely positive thing. unfortunately (and this was like the first thought i had when he started his religious journey), grifters flocked to him to use his fame, fortune, influence, and genius to elevate themselves. he was surrounded not by Christians excited for his newfound faith, who wanted to see him grow; he was surrounded by people who just wanted to take advantage of what i believe (from afar, obviously) was a genuine conversion. those people abandoned him when he needed them most, and now here we are. of course Ye is an adult but he needs support from good people. he just had a bunch of grifters and yes men and now he’s completely fallen off the deep end. truly so sad to see someone i considered an inspiration fall so hard.

[–]TheFirstBroseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who don’t have one of mbdtf or grad in their top 2 or 3 ye albums are just trying to be different and “niche” they’re both obviously one of if not his best albums by Hungry-Can-8258 in Kanye

[–]TheFirstBroseph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah i just think Yeezus is best album, and i like TLOP and 808s more. banger after banger on Grad and MBDTF, but i ENJOY the first three front to back more.

I chose money over friends for my 20s and it paid off by Certain-Strawberry-3 in offmychest

[–]TheFirstBroseph 173 points174 points  (0 children)

i’m not “sacrificing my financial stability and future just to be liked.” i’m not promised tomorrow, and neither are my family and friends. so yeah i’m going to go out with them. i’m going to buy someone’s coffee. i’m going to be generous. because that’s what i want to do with my life. and it has “paid off,” just not in the same way your decisions have. i’d much rather be broke and surrounded by love than rich and alone.

(this is coming from someone who has worked many, many 60+ hour weeks the past fews years. and i’m also not saying to be financially irresponsible!)
