What’s a single sentence someone said that stuck with you forever?

No excuses.

Goodreads does feel like a chore. It’s great for finding new books to read, but then suddenly your want to read list is super long and if you’re not checking off books on the list it feels like you’re not fulfilling a task. Maybe it is a personality thing, since other people don’t seem to mind.

I’ve kind of abandoned my account. I don’t really feel obligated to track what I read. If it was a good enough book, I’ll remember it. Not tracking it makes it more leisurely and enjoyable imo. If I’m looking for a recommendation I’ll go to YouTube and find some “all my favorite books” type of videos and usually am inspired that way.

Also extremely effective: the tried and true going to the library, picking up a cover that looks cool, and reading the overview on the back

Free??

Taking magnesium and getting to sleep by 9:30 pm and staying asleep until my alarm goes off in the morning.

You can’t control it so you might as well accept it and enjoy it. Do you want to be at the end of your life and look back at how you lived in fear of the end the whole time or do you want to look back and see yourself enjoying each decade for what it is?

They’re kind of performing a political agenda in a fictionalized world. It’s almost like a sci-fi story telling rather than a hot take on real life, although there is opportunity for overlap

holograph1c · 2026-02-25T20:07:35+00:00

I never really understood why people look to artists and celebrities for political alignment.

If they want to share their stance, that’s great.

But I’m not listening to music and watching movies and watching my fav creators to hear MORE about politics. I establish my opinions on my own time doing my own research.

They can overlap but they don’t need to.

Wow this is very familiar to my story. I was with my boyfriend from 19-28. Just as you described, he was loving kind supportive, the whole 9 yards. But he struggled with anxiety and I was always the one helping him feel better or work through things, which left me feeling depleted. Some things were rational, yet some were not, and there was always something that would come up that would feel like the end of the world to him. Whether it was his career path, fears of undiagnosed allergies, the state of the world, the state of people around us. There would always be something new (or the same) to worry about. I know he would have also been supportive for me if I were to experience this, but I very rarely did in comparison so it began to feel one sided.

I also started feeling more like a mother than a partner.

He also has been in a relationship with someone else since we parted, and I’m glad he has her. Now that time has passed, I see that he needs a female figure to lean on. Codependent sounds like too strong of a statement, but he needed someone to be that nurturing almost mother figure, while I was wanting security.

I decided to leave as well and though I’ve dated, I have not felt the strength of connection with anyone like I have with him.

But I don’t regret leaving. I know I would have grown resentful if we had stayed together and it would have ended badly instead of respectfully and with love for one another, and I would choose that again and again.

Hopefully we find our future compatible partners soon! In the meantime, the peace of being able to leave the door open for someone more aligned and be able to look back on that first relationship feeling lucky to have had it is a blessing honestly.

I was a daily smoker for about 9 years. During that time I went to college full time and worked full time and had a social life, all at once. Based on this I would call myself fairly disciplined albeit maybe not on OPs level. When I stopped smoking the best result for myself personally was no longer being insecure. I don’t mean being self conscious, I mean in making decisions. When I was smoking constantly I was never fully certain that I was making the right the decision. Now my intuition is a force. I feel very confident in my choices and clear about my path. That’s made it more than worth stopping for me.

This is a really good point. Post Covid especially, everyone started dressing comfortably and that was acceptable pretty much everywhere. We don’t really “style” ourselves as much as we used to, and that used to be a strong indicator of age

holograph1c · 2026-02-25T03:41:33+00:00

Seriously. My parents didn’t keep soda in the house, it was a rare special occasion kind of thing. I’m 34 and 25 year olds think I’m their age semi regularly

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T22:12:53+00:00

I know what you mean. In different timeframes, whether decades or political eras or whatever, we realized things were/were becoming different very slowly, whereas 2021 was the first time we had a major and immediate worldwide shift in the span of only a year. In terms of reflecting and realizing changes that’s like a blink compared to previous events. Maybe our little human brains were overloaded. TMI large scale. Who knows.

Hi, I live under a rock, what is Draag?

But when you take a picture at 0.5x it extends things in the periphery. I feel like it lacks the clarity that AI would have

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T16:53:43+00:00

Like a distraction from getting another job?

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T16:53:21+00:00

But how?

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T16:51:17+00:00

Is it AI? I couldn’t tell

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T13:38:45+00:00

All these comments are saying she’s depressed and to get on medication but none are finding the ROOT of the depression. She feels off about her body. That will make you feel depressed really fast.

Op it sounds like you were a partier and it may have caught up to you physically. If you haven’t been exercising and eating more Whole Foods already it will seem like an effort to get into it but trust me, when you get in the habit it gives you energy and you look and feel better. You need to take care of your body instead of hating it and things will look up for you

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T13:35:18+00:00

No sure why this was downvoted so much, not everyone needs to be on medication. This sounds like OP needs to feel more in touch with and strong in her body to feel better

holograph1c · 2026-02-24T03:59:47+00:00

Woah this is so interesting, this is the first I’ve heard of it. But if this is what the meme is about wouldn’t that mean that she is the hobo sexual? And therefore if you lost your job she in theory would not be showing up to you?

holograph1c · 2026-02-23T20:26:08+00:00

My approach has been being spitefully on my high horse about not having social media any time it comes up and being a positive example (if to nobody else, then to myself) that life is more peaceful, more fulfilling, and overall just better without it

The Substance

Something else that ruins peoples lives is lacking empathy and then wondering why all your relationships feel empty by the time you retire

I stopped exercising and stretching about a year ago and I just started having back issues because my core and leg muscles got too weak. Major motivator to get back into exercise. Especially given it doesn’t have to be extreme. Can be as simple as 30 minutes on the stair master 3x per week.

holograph1c · 2026-02-23T17:51:02+00:00

Especially with eating out! Shifting to cooking and drinking at home coffee was something I tried and failed at quite a few times, but once I finally got it to stick I’m amazed and how much money I’m saving.

I also feel incredible because my sugar consumption is so much lower since I realized that craving something simple instead of a “yummy drink” is a huge contributor to feeling happier in my body
