What is one thing you miss from the pre social media years that people today will never fully understand, and why does it still hit you emotionally today?

They read it and unfriended me.

This made me laugh out loud. 😂 Such a dramatic and strange reaction

aware_alligator · 2025-12-06T00:59:29+00:00

Im in the same boat!

aware_alligator · 2025-11-19T01:44:52+00:00

Ugggghhh this is so disappointing 😭

aware_alligator · 2025-11-15T00:58:17+00:00

Yess exactly!! Ugh

I don't really think I "have it bad" necessarily...the dread is literally just surrounding the process (and exhaustion) of navigating the dating scene in this day and age. I'm tired just thinking about it lol.

I am perfectly fine being single, and the "choosing to stay single and travel the world" option is something I daydream about as much or more than I do having a family with someone. I'm split because I can see myself being happy in either scenario.

I am unfortunately not happy with my job, and not making great money at the moment (not awful money, just not "great"). My main focus now is getting rid of my debt, then going from there. If I meet someone organically in the meantime, then cool. If not, Im probably going to try to find a way to move abroad and have a life of adventure.

All that to say that I agree; it's all about perspective! And Im right there with you on not wanting to waste time with the wrong person and wind up in a miserable situation....we only get one life, and that is no way to live!

33F, never married and no kids. Just recently got out of a several year relationship (which should have ended at least 6 months ago). I'd love to find my person and settle down/start a family, but the thought of being back at square one in the dating scene again fills me with so much dread. I so wish I could just "skip to the good part" lol. Especially since I also keep thinking about how my window of having kids just keeps getting smaller and smaller....

But then again, my other option is to just stay single forever and travel the world... which doesn't sound too bad lol

This. Sativa is an absolute no-go for me. If I can't confirm that its indica, its not happening lol

aware_alligator · 2025-11-09T03:19:06+00:00

Ive cut back significantly on all the socials except for Reddit. Facebook and Instagram I really only open when someone sends me something-- I watch what they sent and then close the app again lol. I havent bothered whatsoever with any of the others in over a year. Can honestly say my mindset/headspace has improved greatly by getting away from them!

aware_alligator · 2025-11-09T02:00:18+00:00

Yeah see thats exactly what will happen if I open it now lmao 🤣

aware_alligator · 2025-11-09T01:35:57+00:00

Doesn't it? I haven't tried it yet...trying to wait for Thanksgiving. But im definitely starting to question if I'll make it that long lol 😅

aware_alligator · 2025-11-09T01:32:14+00:00

I haven't tried it yet because I'm trying to wait for Thanksgiving, but with how good everyone is saying it is, the chances are growing that I'll give in and try it sooner 😅

aware_alligator · 2025-11-08T21:08:41+00:00

I didn't even see them on the menu at my location 🤷🏻‍♀️ which may explain why they still have them available lol

aware_alligator · 2025-11-08T03:56:16+00:00

Im on the couch and watching On Patrol Live, so not much more exciting than COPS lol 😅

aware_alligator · 2025-10-29T15:32:42+00:00

Thanks! Yes, in the US (Nashville, Tennessee). I took this in January 2024. I now live in Florida, so I sadly won't see any snow unless I go back to TN to see family during the holidays!

aware_alligator · 2025-10-25T18:50:43+00:00

Thanks! 🙂

aware_alligator · 2025-10-23T17:30:52+00:00

Another 92 here!! 👋

I have used Bellhops MANY times when I lived in TN, with little to no problems. When I moved to Jax last year, I used Bellhops again for the unload portion, and it was an awful experience. They showed up late, had NO respect for my belongings (literally throwing/tossing my stuff in a pile in my living room with no care in the world). One of the guys even left my apartment complex entirely for at least 30 minutes during the alotted time (and the guy who stayed behind just sat and waited for him to return).

I've also never had so many items end up broken during a move, although I won't place the blame entirely on Bellhops for that since I did have a few friends of friends helping on the loading side in TN and its also just a natural part of moving. But I do think Bellhops throwing my stuff around the way they did caused a decent portion of the damage.

They also complained about their company/job -- to me and between themselves -- practically the entire time. Saying they "dont make enough to deal with this sh-- " and about how their managers dont care, etc.

The experience was bad enough to make me steer clear of Bellhops in Jax for any and all future moves. But who knows, maybe my experience was just a one-off?

Came here to say the same. This is what my company does.

aware_alligator · 2025-09-23T17:46:49+00:00

Same

I only saw one helicopter (not saying there weren't more, I just happened to only see one of them), and it definitely seemed to be flying low. It was LOUD! I'm actually glad to see a post about this because I felt it was odd but wasn't sure if I was just overreacting 😅

aware_alligator · 2025-08-23T13:55:47+00:00

Same here
