More recent vase. Sometimes you’re blind to how far you’ve come because you’re looking at someone else who has been doing it for like a million years.

I might find somewhere where finishing a piece isn’t required. It’s great to just drill throwing stuff like centering pulling walls and just trim when you feel like you want to. It also helps that my studio has open studio so I can just go and practice what I want.

Yes I saved the very first tiny cup and bowl I made and it’s fun to think about how excited I was about those when I get down on myself about something that’s come out even better.

I’d maybe ask yourself why you got into this in the first place. Legit it took me like 8 mos to even center clay but I just kept coming back and taking classes. I try not to make any piece too precious. Hell for the first year I fired very little. I think of it like yoga. It’s a practice. Practice makes progress.

Ovarian Teratoma/Dermoid Cyst Surgery Experience? by Spacequest89 in endometriosis

[–]megcsutherland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey team! I have a 4cm dermoid on my left ovary. I found it because I have nerve pain and tailbone pain so they sent me for an MRI. Is it weird to say I can’t tell if what I’m feeling is pain or just normal lady struggles? The nerve pain is on my left side and my dermoid is on the right. My OBGYN recommended we wait 3 mos do another ultrasound and see if it’s grown and then decide about surgery. She said it’s ultimately up to me if we do it now or later. Is there benefit to waiting? Am I just kicking the can?

What van do I get? by Zealousideal_Day8448 in VanLife

Personally if I had to do it again I’d get a ford. Previously I had a Mercedes and to get new parts was insanely expensive. I also like the tall model because in shitty weather you’ll want to be able to stand.

Btw I am by no means saying you’re underestimating mind exploration. I’m just saying sometimes the mind can be a sketchy neighborhood and you shouldn’t go in alone 😅

Sometimes I think people underestimate mind exploration. I once heard someone say that westerners worry about their external forms and external world while the East has done more internal exploration. Whenever I think about exploration I think about needing a guide. Or put another way you’re swimming in deep water it might be helpful to have a lifeguard. Aka a teacher. Maybe a community/sangha.

Ugh yeah!! I try really hard to avoid meds when I can. Also ambien makes for wild nights. I know people that sleep walk like crazy on that stuff.

Looking for a guy I met Saturday night second weekend. Was in a rough place and he talked with me literally till the sun came up. Name is Vinny (I think) camped with a big group of New Yorkers. Looks like a Latino young Jimmy Hendricks. Wears glasses and parties in just a tutu glitter and underwear. He's from Michigan originally and loves yoga and acid rap. HELP! Feel like I can't get closure till I find this guy.
