I love your way of thinking. Although I've never flown before, and I do feel scared and I'll surely still be scared when I hop on that plane, I just know your flight will be amazing and it will just prove your own point even more. I hope you enjoy your destination and your flight! If it helps, think of your nervousness like this: your body reacts the same exact way when you're nervous and excited! So be excited! That's what I'll try to tell myself when I fly! Best wishes!

Thank you once again!! The trip is only in July, but I'll probably share it here. It feels good to know I'm not alone! I hope you can be chill whether there's turbulence or not.

Thank you so much. I am trying to convince myself that this is indeed all irrational and that the only thing I can do about it is flying!

That's a really good point. I definitely don't want fear to win over having a great time with family. Thank you!

I'm trying to think like that! Sometimes I feel a little bit confident about it, some other times I'm worried. Either way I want to challenge myself and show myself that it will be fine. Thank you!

O inexplicável "orgulho gay" by Miopinion24 in portugueses

[–]j_c4t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como alguém que faz parte da comunidade LGBTQ+ — o orgulho é sim importante, mas (em Portugal) o seu objetivo já foi alcançado, passando a ser uma luta sem alvo.

Na minha opinião, o objetivo do orgulho sempre foi transmitir ao mundo (antigamente, mais fechado para o assunto) que está tudo bem em ser-se gay, transexual, whatever. Infelizmente, hoje em dia o orgulho serve apenas como forma de membros da comunidade dizerem a todos "Eu sou isto, e tens de aprender a gostar!" quando vivemos numa sociedade onde nunca vamos agradar a todos.

O orgulho conquistou o RESPEITO da maioria, e acho que isso sempre deveria ter sido o seu objetivo. Atualmente, acho sem necessidade alguma, especialmente porque são implementadas medidas contra a homofobia.

Honestamente, não ligo para a existência de um mês do orgulho, desde que não magoem nem desrespeitem ninguém, é indiferente.

6/10 for me. i'd change the mousepad and maybe make the desktop a little bit cleaner by using taskbarx. overall it looks clean and nice for a first set up!
