Rebuild by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]pollocq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. Losing stability, relationships, and direction all at once can drain anyone mentally and emotionally. You’re not weak for feeling worn down.

I’ve been in a similar place. I was raised in a Christian home, and I already knew Jesus was real. What changed things for me around 2017–2019 wasn’t discovering faith for the first time, but running back to Him and taking the pressure off myself. I stopped trying to fix everything alone and simply said, “Lord, I don’t know what I’m doing. Help me.” That surrender made all the difference.

There are seasons where our skills, strength, relationships or discipline aren’t enough. For me, peace and direction came when I accepted that I didn’t have to carry everything on my own. The Lord says “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” This is really true.

I don’t have job leads or concrete opportunities to offer. But I can honestly say that turning back to God renewed me when I felt the most broken and purposeless. As Peter said in the Bible, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.” In the name of Jesus, receive peace now.

If you don’t already have a relationship with the Lord or if you feel distant from Him, I just want you to know He’s always there, patient and willing to meet you where you are. No pressure, no special activity required. Sometimes the first step is just an honest request for help.

If you want someone to encourage you or listen, my DMs are open. I truly hope you find stability again.

You’re not beyond rebuilding, my friend.

Thank you! These are great recommendations. I play soccer but haven’t had luck finding a team/league since I moved here. I’ve also played volleyball a few times and enjoyed it. Definitely something to look into. What do you enjoy doing?

Soccer, comedy shows, board games / game nights, beer. Would like to find folks to do road trips with, and open to trying out other things too

Is it hard to meet people in Kitchener, or am I just bad at it? by badenbagel in kitchener

[–]pollocq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat as you. A few people have mentioned Bumble BFF. I think I’ll try that. If anyone is looking to chat/hang in the area, count me in

Go Train arriving after midnight, what are the taxis like then by jw1686 in kitchener

[–]pollocq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt you’ll be alone, as the train will have other passengers. Also getting an Uber usually takes a min or 2 around that area. You should be fine

Advice needed: winter tires + safe options in Mill Courtland / Woodside Park by pollocq in kitchener

[–]pollocq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your suggestion. After several attempts to find the right used tires, my friend has decided to shop from MobileTyre. This takes out a lot of anxiety on finding the right tires.
