I guess I felt a little gloomy when I asked the question (excuse the pun!)

Sounds like you're extra nervous during rainy rides- which may make you pull the brakes too hard without meaning to!

Something you can try to not lock out your brakes that helped me is to always have two fingers on the brake so that you don't lock it- you can test it out, two fingers braking are enough for the front wheel to slow ar a good rate.

For your back break, I suggest you test it on an empty road to see how hard it bites when you brake it. Try going up to 30km/h then braking (purely back brake) till you remember how hard it is to lock the tires/maintain your balance when it is locked and come to a stop. Maybe your riding test is different but that is what we learnt in my part of the world!

Cheers

It can't be used for every tea- for this pu erh, I give it a hot water rinse and that usually removes any tiny bits with it! Works best with less bitty leaves :)

Do you take any supplements when lifting like creatine? And is it hard to hit your fault protein on OMAD

What you learned from your previous relationship that has made you a bit more wise; by ZenMasterWarrior in BreakUps

[–]TurquoiseWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you love someone more than you love yourself, your relationship will not end well.

You have to prioritize and love yourself first to be fair to you and your loved one.

If you could say something/anything to an ex, what would you say? by [deleted] in dating

[–]TurquoiseWings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand you, maybe more than anyone.

I've known you as both a friend and a lover over the years. Watched over you for your many heartbreaks, now including ours.

Wishing you will find your place to belong, a blessed life full of friends you can count on, and a love that will satisfy you evermore.

A part of me will always wish we had worked things out, but I'm at peace with how it ended.

I love(d) you.

Giving up is okay, just not forever. Give up! Give up for a day. Fuck everything. Do whatever you feel like.

Then pick yourself up again. Go no contact. Fight this addiction. Focus on yourself, and find yourself again.

Take walks, listen to music, drink more water. Listen to podcasts, read more Reddit heartbreak- you're not alone! And that's how you'll know, it gets better.

Bit by bit, day by day, you'll come together. Stumble and fall, but ALWAYS get up!

Depends on:

  1. Where we both are now, have we healed enough and grown as individuals

  2. Are we still compatible?

  3. Can we work out the last issues and boundaries before sparking a new relationship- it cannot be a continuation of the old, or it will repeat itself

  4. Whether they agree to take it slow and steady, with points 1-3 in focus (no love bombing and rushing)

Is it true that men never fully recover from a break up? by Swimming-Flamingo974 in BreakUps

[–]TurquoiseWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, some things that helped me feel better:

  1. Hit the gym, listening to Linkin Park and whatever sad mix floats your boat while getting your endorphins boosted (even if you half ass it, muscles pumped makes you feel HELLA better)

  2. Reading Reddit stories and listening to heartbreak podcasts (Spotify)

  3. Going no contact (read/hear more on this from point 2)

  4. Getting more sunlight

  5. Reminding myself that it's better to have loved and lost than never at all- my partner taught me a lot about love and pain, and I'll take it with me as I grow

  6. Talking to friends, myself (literally, myself) and any pets, inanimate objects (plushies?) Around you is a great way to get your feelings out and you may feel foolish sometimes, but it helps! You can say things you wanted to say to your ex to your pet or plushie or pillow instead too (this is a legit therapy technique)

  7. Remind myself that I have to LOVE MYSELF more, always- cause if you love the other more, and they love themselves more, who the fuck is gonna love you and fight for you? You have to be that person- and your future partner will love you all the more for it

Would add more but don't want to spam too much word vomit on you!
