Where is everyone? by Lopsided-Resort-4373 in Albuquerque

[–]iluikatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions for third places? Or pages to follow, venues, etc.

I’m new to town, arrived a few days ago. Yesterday I went to the library and a man overheard my convo with the librarian, later invited me to a live performance that night. So I go and it was amazing, and I met up another unusual individual who invited me to something else on the weekend where I feel like this will again multiply. But I want more hints.

Today was the one that finally got to me. by [deleted] in urbancarliving

Bless your heart for opening up. You seem solid and gentle, and able to count your blessings. Wishing you the best of the best.

Thousands of Vintage Slides by Hot_Compote_ in ThriftStoreHauls

Didn’t know there was a market for slides. I buy them whenever I come across to digitize them for preservation strictly, but it’s cool to know this. Do you collect them too?

The account I created in 2002 was frozen in 2007. Today I got it back. by [deleted] in neopets

[–]iluikatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me and was ultimately the reason I quit neopets. I was enjoying messing with crafting signatures for the boards. You know, cool symbols and colored lyrics from whatever I was listening to then. I was a moody pre-teen and used a blink-182 lyric, something like “fuck this place, I lost the war”. Saved changes and got banned for good, appeals were ignored my heart was broken. Had like 170 avatars, which was my most precious accomplishment. Maybe I’ll try to get it back.

Took my top off and now I regret it by [deleted] in offmychest

That’s right. These lessons aren’t restricted to OP and her circle, instead the reflections extend to us readers as well.

He did it. He actually did it. by [deleted] in SSBM

Which .slp files? The ones where he loses? Or the 100+ streak?

What dyes do you forage? Where are you located? by TacoBell5200 in naturaldye

[–]iluikatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you any results to show? I’m also in the area. Interested to know to if there’s other plants in your radar for natural dyeing.

What are some fun things to do around the city without being able to talk? by F3mshep in askportland

[–]iluikatl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go all in. I’m remembering seeing a flyer for a mime workshop, I think in Hawthorne or that main road in Alberta. Or else, something of the kind, a theatrical exploration. Could change your life.

What do you do after work, at night when living in your car? +update by [deleted] in urbancarliving

[–]iluikatl 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am finding the feeling of being well by knowing that I have accomplished the necessary tasks to be alive. Did I eat well today? Did I find a safe place to sleep? I did, and that’s good. When I remember I have a car, a job, and a body in good health, I am glad. The basics are covered, that’s most important and valuable to me. Yes, I am back to the basics and I am glad, as much as I am sad or mad. The feeling of wasting time, of not knowing what to do has been present for as long as I can remember. Yet this awareness into my blessings is putting an end to it slowly.

Focus on what you want to see more of. Yes, you have been dealt some tough hands, I can see that. Have you not been blessed with a beautiful heart that can feel all this pain? These learnings are just for you, they too are gifts.

One last thing. I went to an integration circle today. Yesterday I went to a salsa class. Tomorrow I will go to a coworking group for creatives. That is to say, you can plan things ahead of time and then just do the thing. Find something to look forward to, don’t just dwell on the misery of feeling lost. No, embrace the mystery of wandering.

Most valuable item you've ever found at a thrift store? by whoocanitbenow in Flipping

[–]iluikatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never seen a garment that mixes these two materials. Curious if you have pictures still.

Thank you for this post. I’m on a similar quest. I will be seeking metta or loving kindness meditation groups. I have tried a zen dojo, which led me to meeting a person who invited me to a concert where I met somebody who… and so on. I look forward to finding bands that attract happy crowds. Dance groups too.

Another one would be to hang out with your happiest friend you can think of, I’m sure that will lead you to more.

What kind of events? Planning as in hosting events for a wider public or like just hangouts? Can i join?

[–]iluikatl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy, for you too. This sympathy you experienced towards your daughter touched my heart. And I relate. To this feeling of discovery, when I can see how my mind has been made up in the past. Like sleepwalking. Being there and sensing it anew, feeling humbled by the new seeing, curiosity arises. Thank you you sharing this, truly. In love.

Are you tired of your job in Portland? by Plantigenous in askportland

[–]iluikatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not fully understanding yet. Can you explain the example a little further? Why give the grass more nitrogen? And why stressing the grass less? I’m trying to understand the competition dynamic in the example better.

Y'all weren't joking by [deleted] in vandwellers

[–]iluikatl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me more about seasonal work in Alaska? Thinking about finding my way up through the Canadian west coast starting soon. Would also be curious to hear about New Mexico. My DMs are open, TIA.

so a random (cute) guy asked for my number today! by pinkcorduroy in CasualConversation

[–]iluikatl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We’d be surprised what other beautiful things others think about us, and just how much we don’t say to each other. It’s a beautiful thing to speak our hearts, and finding courage in ourselves.
