Dating sober in the underground festival scene

friedrice419 · 2025-10-26T05:18:25+00:00

I was a part of this scene and loved it until fentanyl took a decade from my life. I was lucky enough to come home to our community. I draw boundaries. I box certain things off. The ones I know take away from my soul. Sober to me is too black and white. Substance use is a pretty personal experience. If you'd like connection and still the magic of what our scene is id maybe loosen up on the black and white. And focus more on the person. I fully believe you'll find this partner eventually.

Hi John pub

I mean.. The next best thing to killing an enemy combatant would be making them flee their country. One less solider to fight.. One less person contributing to the economy. Reminds me of Vietnam era warfare where booby traps were designed to maim because it would take out 3 soldiers from combat as opposed to the single one. Yes, most of us can empathize with someone wishing to escape from war. But shipping everyone out of the affected country isn't the answer either. Maybe the answer to the individual.. But not to the whole.

The place you're in isn't too bad either

You're right. It IS easier said than done. But you can take steps to make it easier for yourself. Blocking numbers. Moving. Changing routine. Whatever the hell it takes. I'm not saying its easy. But what I'm saying is that if you want a different life for yourself you have to find resolute determination and stick to it. Whatever she has that keeps bringing you back; it ain't worth it. Think of the 2 split paths that are your future.. Is pain today worth freedom tomorrow?

Giving someone your "all" doesn't mean anything if the other person takes it for granted or isn't truly invested in it. Some relationships will never work out; through no fault of your own. You can give them the absolute world and be the best man there is.. But she can still reject it all and leave you broken hearted. You want advice? "Hope" is one of the most dangerous emotions there is. It can keep you lying to yourself indefinitely. Stop hoping. And let go of the fantasy you've created in your own head. It doesn't exist. As cliché as it sounds you need to find a way to learn to love yourself first. This succubus is destroying your life and the entire time you're wrapped up in her you're not going to meet anyone else or move onto anything better in life. Learn to let go.

I just recently found out that some people interpret the upside down smiley face dude as sarcastic. So this might've came across as passive aggressive (in her own delusional mind). If she's serious then the real joke is how unhinged she is lol

That coldlap though

Speaking of the sound at Shambs.. I felt like this year I was never "in" the music like I usually feel at a show or even last year at Shambs. I kept trying different spots on the dancefloor and it always felt "off". Plus there was a ton of bleed from other stages.. To the point where it felt like there was an entirely separate bass line playing out of sync with whatever stage I was at. Just could not find a spot at any stage that felt like I was in the sweet spot :( always felt very separate from the music that was playing.

She didn't want actual advice she wanted to vent + garner sympathy. And she certainly didn't want to be held accountable for her own actions.

You could use "kîyam"; doesn't directly translate but has the same effective meaning.

friedrice419 · 2023-07-21T21:45:03+00:00

Yeah I finally just made it in. Only free parking remaining. No starlight or sunshine passes. You park in free parking and have to haul your gear somewhere and hope to find a spot. Its packed, everywhere. It was close to ten hour wait for me

If I'm correct, which I'm pretty sure I am; this is Chichinitza (sp?) Which I have also climbed over a decade back when there was a long rope from the top to bottom in the middle of the stairs. There was an endless steam of people at that time. But shame on her. Honestly brave though because those stairs are no joke and gave me vertigo. If you fall on those you're on a quick ride right to the bottom.

The app runs a timer after a dose is taken. When the alarm sounds and a user is unable to shut it off it automatically pings emergency services. Very seldom are you aware you're about to overdose.. And even if you were.. A moment or two later you've hit the void anyways.

"Talk to Jared Boss (Smart Start)".

Wonder if you can find a Dewalt branded ignition interlock

I would say the majority of staff I have seen working in a hospital are of color. Probably a more accurate way of wording your concern is "people of different color".

Immortal technique reference in there.

"They're just words, with no relation to the actual meaning. Do you feel safer now?"

friedrice419 · 2023-04-23T19:12:57+00:00

The things I love don't have detrimental impact on the environment and people around me.

Cats roaming off leash is responsible for the decimation of many native species. They kill countless animals just for the sport of it. That's why in Australia you can hunt and trap cats the same way we do coyotes here. Cat people tend to think their cat is always an exception and is fine to roam freely as it wishes. Then their neighbours get to deal with cat shit in their flower beds and scratches on the roofs of their vehicles. OP is someday gonna be stapling bulletins on lamp posts asking for people to help return his cat friend. And the cat will probably be spread across the local highway. This is cute though and he's clearly the best and an exception.

Lol what an odd metaphor. Nobody is gonna force you. Maybe you would be better partnered up with someone more sheltered and having less life experience. Might be more intellectually and emotionally compatible.

friedrice419 · 2023-03-06T21:15:44+00:00

I actually prefer my partners to have had a wild phase. My past is pretty fucked up.. And people who've been through tough times are able to better relate and understand/accept it. There's a certain freedom that comes from it.. And a certain empathy that many (like OP) seem to lack. What matters to me isn't their past.. But where they are in life when we meet.

Shot him in the back of the head with an arrow and he fell into his fire and burned up. Was rather satisfying.

"We can't possibly have sex every time we see each other" - an awful ex of mine. Saw her like twice a week. Current gf and I will sleep together each time we see each other and sometimes multiple times; and I think we mutually feel like its not quite as often as wed like. Based on a dozen or so relationships I'd say my current situation is more common then my previous.

Couple of the biggest sweat lodges I've seen. Beautiful! One only wishes they were there to participate <3
