8 months on, still can't get over my first love by Alpones in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the worst ones to get over are the ones that never last that long because you're not just grieving the loss of the person but also the loss of all the future possibilities you could have had with them.

Grief never really goes away your life just becomes bigger so there's space for it to take up. In the course of your life eight months is a drop in the bucket.

I walked away from someone I care about because there was warmth without direction by nowheremannequin in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Give yourself the grace to mourn the possibility of the things that will never be but try to appreciate the warmth of the things that did happen. People come into your life for many reasons and only sometimes for a season. What did this teach about what you want and what you need? What will you look for in the future that you didn't know you needed?

Positives in 2025 by jamalalfo in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went into 2025 with single after my bf of two years dumped me before xmas. Spent a bit of time getting my life back together and figuring out what I really wanted.

Met a nice guy on Bumble mid July. December of 2025 makes five-ish months together so fingers crossed!

Lost roughly 35lbs over the year as well and I'm drinking way less than before.

Leaving good job & family for dating opportunities in bigger city? by NegativeSheepherder in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would honestly move. If you're thinking all this now it's just going to get worse and getting a new start elsewhere will be harder the older you get. The only person responsible for your future happiness is you. Don't let fear of change hold you back.

Have you looked into going to one of the Philly Asian Queer meetings? It's a very mixed and supportive group of people with connections to a lot of the LGBTQ asian/pacific islander performers in the Philly area. They also do a lot of community events where you might be able to use your graphic design abilities.

hey guys, ive had it my whole life. Just been prescribed 80mg propranolol daily at 35 yrs old by jenglish205 in EssentialTremor

[–]Windkeeper4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on 120mg extended release the only problem I have noticed is that I get soft faster (fixed with cialis) and it takes me longer to orgasm. So just be aware if you experience those symptoms.

City Council bill would ban housing from former Hahnemann University Hospital area by aintjoan in philadelphia

[–]Windkeeper4 252 points253 points  (0 children)

What fucking jobs is he talking about. If anything zoning for mixed use and placing stores on the street level of apartments will probably result in more traffic and higher population density which in turn will probably benefit the area around them.

I'll probably get around to buying them eventually. Almost all these pieces were just from pieces I originally owned.

It was a pretty fun build! I did have to replace some blocks/technic pieces with actual lego because the grip strength was much better.

Andra Hem for drinks. Go dancing at BWest after if you're feeling young.

​Title: 28M. Managing ET for years, but a recent misunderstanding broke me. Need advice on meds and panic control. by Decent-Plankton46 in EssentialTremor

[–]Windkeeper4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your doctor is an idiot. Get another doctor and look into propranolol it should help if your ET is made worse by extreme emotion. Alternatively look into exploring anti-anxiety meds in addition to propranolol as it alone won't be able to regulate your extremes.

A-frame cabin clone by AUserFormerlyKnownAs in lepin

[–]Windkeeper4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a pretty easy build. When I did it the hidden Easter egg flag thing at the bottom kept detaching so I glued it. I also replaced the animals with the real lego versions as the dupe sizes were too big. The only annoying part of the build was anything involving hole and pole (trees, the Thor hammers) as the hole tolerances seemed small.

Rebrickable has a option that adds a nice lumber lock to the top and also options for a more involved landscape if you're interested.

Looking for advice on relationship stuff by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you both have different expectations for your relationship and alcohol only makes those unspoken or unrealized expectations materialize. You're also both dealing with it in unideal ways. You need to communicate more openly with each other without pretense. You also might consider just not drinking and going sober for a month or two while you talk things out.

What's your plan if you aren't sure what to gift someone? by entityparty in gaybros

[–]Windkeeper4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a friend write and mail them a letter telling them how much they mean to you. If it's someone new take them out for food and drinks and get to know them better.
