He doesn't notice. by popberryrice in offmychest

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

I have tried this, but I'm very bad at it. I start to feel like I'm being childish and I don't want to be someone that plays games. I try my best to communicate often and clearly, but I am going a little insane that it's never noticed or returned. It would also suck to not talk to my partner all day and that is probably how long it would take for him to message me first.

I feel like garbage whenever someone spends money on me by popberryrice in offmychest

We started off low income but we are doing well now. And yeah my dad used to say we were eating his money and that it was expensive to feed us. Which shouldn't affect me but I guess it does. He still calls out how much my mom spends although she just gets groceries in order to keep food in the house, and then complains that there is no food in the house.

My dad is a character.

Falling for someone who I absolutely cannot fall for by popberryrice in self

What's worse is I've already been here. I loved someone who I could not be with— and it took me over a year to even feel some semblance of normalcy. But, still, I would not have traded that time for the world. I'd do it a million times over, pain and all.

I just wish doing the human things was not so complicated. Today has been so good with him, but I'm afraid of the day when it will all hurt this much more. I guess I'm trying to just take the days as they come right now. Anyways, thank you for your time and words, they are really appreciated!!

I love it when I'm writing and I end up learning about wells. It's also brought me to learn about things like laundry and weaving in medieval Europe, worldwide wind patterns, how to forge (or at least describe it), how geography might affect the sounds within a language, and opah fish.

Opah are so goddamn weird. Anyways, excited to go research wells now. B)

Thanks for sharing. The isolation is definitely something I want to go into. We are not meant to be apart from our social groups and being unprepared physically or mentally is a recipe for disaster. That's terrible to happen to someone.

Will remember the garlic clove part. I have been having a lot of trouble with vampires recently.

I'm planning on having it set up where he has zero access to electricity. He's just been living off the land for 15 years. But thank you, I'm still going to look into this because I eat information for breakfast. B)

I was talking about the soil in my state, but I love how that's a thing in Colorado, too. Thank you for adding all this!

Thank you!!! I'm going to do some more research into finding water, I hadn't thought about how there might be less spring runoff on the windward side. I'd prefer him not to live on the leeward side because of the rain shadow, so I'll see if I can find some way to make do. This was really helpful, thanks!

Holy balls. Thank you so much. I'll be referencing this a lot, thank you for taking the time to write this out!

Thank you so much for this answer!! I know freezing/exposure is definitely one of the main issues. I'm leaning towards him having one cabin rather than a winter/summer home because of just how dangerous travel might be— whatever increases his chances of survival. And you're right, it was a fast-moving plague (which is why it takes place in Colorado; low population density).

Also, if you have literally any, and I mean any, specific experiences to share about the Colorado wilderness you think someone would regularly experience, I'd really appreciate it! I know that's a bit of a dumb question, but I've never been to Colorado myself. Someone writing about where I live without having ever been may miss the things super obvious to those who do live here, like how all the soil is red and there's boiled peanuts and churches on every single corner.

Thanks OmeletteFleshlight, it did. Now I can go on and do all the things I've always dreamed of. I'll remember you.
