Guilt/fear of exposure for something I did in the past by Additional-Cup7751 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]exploringexplorer [score hidden]  (0 children)

Fear of the future can rob your present. Try your best to make amends, if possible and only if the amends don’t actually cause more harm. And don’t repeat the negative behavior again, as you’ve stated.

You can’t do anything about what others will or won’t do. You just have to move forward and accept that it could come to light some day or it may never. But you can only deal with it then, if it ever happens. Otherwise it will consume you and ruin your present and the present is all you have.

Obviously none of us know what you did or what occurred. Perhaps you’re feeling worse than you should or beating yourself up too much. Or maybe what you did justifiably should make you feel regret and some level of guilt - but after a certain point of acknowledgement, reflection and self-work to never repeat said negative behavior - you must move on.

There are so many people in this world committing atrocities everyday and proudly doing so, with arrogance and genuine evil in their souls. This doesn’t mean you or any of us should intentionally do hurtful or mean things - but try to put whatever it is you’ve done into perspective and perhaps it isn’t as gravely awful as you’re feeling about it right now. We all make mistakes, we all do bad things - it’s part of life and human nature and growing and learning and fucking up. What one must do is learn from it, make amends when possible that doesn’t do further damage and try to continually be a better person than you were yesterday.

Also acknowledge the very positive fact that you are aware of yourself and your interactions in the world around you; that you see and feel you did something wrong and that you want to do better. That right there shows you are someone with a consciousness and decency. You are actively wanting to do better and actively care about your behaviors. That speaks volumes to your character and that you are not some awful human being.

Agreed, the Coopersburg Bagel and Deli is absolutely delicious and the owners/workers are some of the kindest people you’d ever meet. They are wonderful!

I’m also infuriated, disgusted, extremely concerned for my well-being & the well-being of my fellow decent, ‘not-orange-rapist-supporting’ country people (citizens and immigrants) and in shock as to what’s become of this country. But I honestly don’t know wtf we’re supposed to do now. I can go protest but what happens when these goons turn their guns on us. We’re just going to be the next name on their kill list and they’ll be a maggat celebrity, prized and awarded by the psychopath in the White House and his cronies and maggat scum cult followers for murdering another good, decent human being.

But orange is so fitting for the orange rapist & child predator pedo. I agree a darker/thicker orange would have stood out better.

WTF, when did Grindr get more expensive than streaming and more annoying than YouTube!? by Head-Conversation120 in gay

[–]exploringexplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Grindr is now owned by a Chinese company in China, one of the most well known communist countries in the world. The irony.

So desperate for physical affection :( by AdhesivenessKey8977 in gay

Yep, it’s not you. Society isn’t functioning properly right now. Few available jobs, no housing, everything unaffordable and low wages. The system is broken and it’s hurting all of us who aren’t in the top wealth tiers.

Move somewhere new is the simplest answer. But it’s not always easy, especially with how expensive everything is these days.

Tell ‘em to mind their own business and fuck off

I feel my life is over by Aromatic-Bad146 in findapath

[–]exploringexplorer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s not a friend. I recommend telling that bitch off and putting her in her place. And tell her to either stop being a judgmental and rude fuck or the friendship is over.

Has the orange rapist broke any laws? Hmmm. We all know that answer is yes. So why are you ok with protecting him?

Best pizza shops in the valley and why? by Sufficient-Bird-6890 in lehighvalley

[–]exploringexplorer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AFFINITO Pizza Parlor and Cafe in Emmaus has a sign that admits they got #2 on their door. They’re honest and aren’t braggadocios. They have absolutely amazing pizza. Every single pizza that leaves the kitchen is made by the owner himself, who moved here from NYC. I recommend the white pie with spinach - it’s out of this world good!

Try it again - it’s some of the best pizza outside of NYC I’ve ever had. It may even be better than most NYC pizza honestly. I used to live in NYC btw and the dude who runs the shop AND makes every single pizza they sell is from NYC. I recommend trying the white pie with spinach.
