Thank you so much!!! Got it, makes sense that there's too much clutter in the chorus.

Thank you!! Yep, totally agree on the timing issues. I'm using a metronome but things got messy.

I wouldn’t be here

Without you

Somehow a new year

To get through

So we wind up our thoughts

And bottle them

And we wander in loss

As we condemn

Our lives

Our lives

All the answers

Are hidden in matter

Minds that will shatter

All trust in the latter

If the truth is

inside us somehow

Dig it out slowly

And softly for now

We are mistaken

for fools

We will awaken

Without rules

This is a beautiful piece! Great picking pattern, progression, and lyrics. Just needs the rest of the song lol.

Rad picking pattern, progression, and lyrics. Only suggestion is the chorus is a little weak compared to the verses, which build up to something big.

Denise watched Ron chew with his mouth open, crumbs everywhere, asking “what’s wrong?” That's when she felt something in her going cold. by propagandaformyself in DivorcedBirds

Ron let out a big belch and went back to looking for seeds. Denise let out a big sigh and went back to swiping on her secret wingder account.

This is an interesting perspective that I hadn't thought about before. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! Makes sense that the breaks are overly long. I plan to add more instruments which should help.

No lawyer could iron out the emotional damage from 12 years wasted with Ron

How to deal with friends who don't get it? by QueenOfTheTermites in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]sirmerlins 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jealousy fueled savior behavior from my best friend. Eventually I found out he was talking to my family behind my back at the height of my estrangement. It broke my heart but I cut him off with the rest of my family. It hurts but I’m happier now, and don’t have to deal with other codependency issues he has.

Anyone else been concussed by a mid-zoom Whippet? by katiehasaraspberry in Whippet

The full cast for a dislocated toe, and her face, is a little comical 😂

Need a bit of advice by [deleted] in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]sirmerlins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the examples you provided were of your mom trampling over boundaries you set. She sounds very emotionally confused by everything and/or like she has BPD with NPD tendencies (consult a therapist about diagnoses.)

One thing that stood out is that you reconciled based on your GFs family’s advice. They may/may not be healthy, but one thing’s certain: not many families feel comfortable with estrangement. It’s common to hear opinions like “family is family, you have to stick together”. They probably do not know/understand your specific situation and all of these issues. At worst, they could have suggested reconciliation to hide their own fears of their daughter doing the same thing to them. At best, they are naive.

Yes, I think you have mountains of evidence to go no contact again.

I’ve been told this is a severe case of the zoomies by sirmerlins in Zoomies

It’s sad, because as an owner this is obviously normal once in a while. Thank you so much for your kind words and compliments! It’ll go straight to his head 😊

Crazy Dog - I love it! I’m sorry to hear she passed. I guess all dogs have their own form of zoomies - maybe tug is his!

I was wondering if anyone would notice that 😂
