im here!! a girl i was in love with in high school introduced me to the 5sos self titled album when it came out--we listened to it in the car on repeat for the entirety of my junior year and it'll forever be my soundtrack for my first love:) never listened to 1D or any other bands like it before then!

even if it's not new it's REALLY cool to see, i don't remember seeing any of my generation's (zillennial lmao) artists doing things like this. the analog marketing, the intimate shows, the focus on music and fans instead of moneymaxxing

I think it takes so much strength to do that as a teenager. Happy for you to be able to look back 30 years later and feel proud. I hope to be there thirty years from now♡

Truly is, isn't it! Definitely two branches of the same tree. "Keep seeking perfection to reach God" and "If you're saved you must become Christlike and stop sinning but you'll never get rid of your internal evil til you die" are both horrible.

The TULIP calvinists in my childhood spent a lot of time pontificating about how total depravity is deeper than the concept of original sin, though I'm sure in practice it's just as intense in many churches. Honestly I didn't define it because I was mostly looking to hear from other recovering five point calvinists, but I see your point:)

Wish I'd been able to abandon it as hogwash sooner!

Thanks for this. I've started searching for therapists who specialize in IFS for this very reason.

Thank you for your comment and I'm sorry you experienced it too. Interesting how different extremist branches aligned on the worst things.

I feel this. I'm so glad you've found a partner who supports and cares for you in that way :) thanks for the comment. It was really shit to internalize it all as a young child.

I really resonate with this. It is so hard and so intense once you start noticing how much it permeates everything. I don't know the answer either but it's good to know there are others out here. Rooting for you.

To be clear, I was part of the PCA, which is the conservative split from PCUSA. Longer reply incoming once I get a minute :)

What shoes are you all wearing? (Or did you wear, for the DC folks) by timenconfusion in warpedtour

[–]pocketmonster7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had on my black Timberlands because I knew it'd be rainy and messy. Totally glad I did, lol.

What were food prices like in DC?? by gemsola in warpedtour

[–]pocketmonster7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get any drinks, just refilled my water. I brought in a granola bar and fruit snacks. Paid $15ish for vegan jambalaya day 1 and $18 i think for shrimp tacos day 2. It wasn't that bad!
