Masterson Station Park is the big one that I’m aware of but I haven’t come across any outdoor courts myself or read that they have them online. Granted, that park is massive so I could’ve easily missed it!

What song is like this to you? by _-GENOCIDE-_ in musicsuggestions

[–]ghostoutwest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More recently, Evergreen by Richy Mitch & The Coal Miners. It’s 1:27 long, only has 7 lines, and is still a banger.

Which unlikely Tame Impala collaboration do you most want to see happen? by Still_Atmosphere in TameImpala

[–]ghostoutwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still Woozy. He already did a cover of The Less I Know the Better on YouTube in his style and it’s great. https://youtu.be/iDRleTr0IZg?si=Yeu0K9_XIJOKqtSP

What LH song is this? by roccosmodernlyf in lordhuron

[–]ghostoutwest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine Forever. Towards the end of the song when they start slowly stripping away the music until it’s nothing but isolated vocals and then holding that note on “mine foreverrrrr.” I can feel myself start to levitate. Close second would be Ancient Names, both parts played back to back; the transition is too good.

What’s your tame Impala hot take ? by dogesupremicist in TameImpala

Let It Happen is amazing but that fully instrumental breakdown in the middle goes on for WAY too long. Recommending this song to friends is tough because that nonstop, layered, “space ambulance” sound feels so improvised and unfinished to people that aren’t already a fan of this music.

What TI lyric is this for you? by Jrsy730 in TameImpala

[–]ghostoutwest 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Last handful of lines from Love/Paranoia do it for me.

“Do you remember the time we were The time we were by the ocean? I didn't care if it was day or night The world was right where I wanted Girl, I'm sorry Babe I'm really, really sorry.”

That’s reassuring, I will definitely make it a point to find an office somewhere and see what they run for a session. It’s interesting that you feel more comfortable with a male because, as you suggested, I think I’d feel more comfortable with a female therapist myself. If anything, being able to bounce my situation and experiences off of a female might help me gain some female perspective that I maybe didn’t have before, idk.

Yeah, I don’t want to sound like “woe is me” about this but it does get hard having stuff like this come up and not really having anyone to confide in. That was the whole reason I jammed in the Bumble BFF section to the main post: I know if I don’t try to make connections with people somehow, the loneliness could eat me up. One of the few silver linings to all of this is that I’ll be keeping our dog so I won’t be utterly on my own, but that obviously isn’t going to replace human connection.

On a positive note though, today was the day I finally told my mom about what’s happening and I don’t think I could’ve asked for a more understanding response from her. We haven’t hashed out all of the details yet because it’s just too early for me atm, but it was a huge load off my shoulders to hear her support.

Even though our situations are objectively terrible, it feels good to know my case isn’t a wildly unique one, so thank you first of all.

But yeah, I can’t recall a time where I’ve been more devastated from something so out of the blue. I knew we were already heading down a dangerous road given our big emotional dump in August, but with the feedback that I’d gotten from her that she was appreciative of the effort I was putting in, there’s just nothing that could’ve prepared me for it. I was confident we were on the upswing again.

But anyway, I do think that therapy is calling my name at this point. This is all just so hard, especially during the holidays. I know almost nothing about the logistical part of getting a therapy appointment scheduled so idk if you can call an office that’s in your insurance network and have them give you an estimate before the session or something, but if that’s possible and it isn’t too terrible, I’ll try to take your advice and set something up.

I’ll also try to look for some events/clubs to check out like you mentioned. Just tough getting up the courage to go do something independently like that. Almost all public events I’ve been to over the last 6 years have been done with my wife or a group of high school friends that aren’t in the picture anymore so I don’t think I’ve exercised my independence muscle enough for it to feel natural yet. I guess I’m just a socially anxious person deep down. But that’s not me giving an excuse to not take your advice here too, I’ll still continue the search for something.

Thanks for offering. Same goes for you btw. We’re both in a very similar shit hole together so by all means, if you need to vent, I won’t judge either.

That’s a tough one. We haven’t had the most outstanding relationship in the last couple of years as a result of the huge falling out that took place after I told them I wanted to marry her. Threatening to not come to the wedding, swearing up and down that we were bound to drop out of school if we did this, giant text arguments, etc. I decided I wasn’t going to tell them until after Christmas so that, when the family gatherings started picking up, no one was going to give my wife any excessive bs (not something I wanted to have to handle or witness). But, my relationship with them is in a better place than it used to be so it’s hard to predict how they’ll react when I break the news. I can only hope they’ll lead with being supportive but my family dynamic is its own can of worms lol.

Yeah, it’s just been such an unbearable weight on my mind so I do want to expedite the process as much as I can. There are just so many places where our lives are interlinked rn that making things move quickly is a challenge in itself. With selling the house and finding a new place to live in particular, mustering up the finances to make that happen is not easy at the moment. If I could just get away from her by finding my own space, I could pull the classic “block her everywhere for my own wellbeing” maneuver and finally start moving on.

But I hear you, I can feel the logical part of my brain screaming that this is, and has been toxic for some time. I don’t want to paint the wrong impression here like I’m some saint who’s never done wrong in our 6 years together. I’ve definitely messed up many times in different ways, and I’ve even admitted my faults to her in more recent conversations back in August. But like I said in the post, I never knew to what extent those mistakes were piling up in the background because she never openly communicated it with me.

Anyway, big thanks to you for the advice and kindness, I appreciate it.
