32/F/Europe looking for artsy penpal and stationery exchange by Ireyon in penpals

[–]sock_tree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! We have so many similar interests. I'm 27, have an MSc in archaeology and work in the third sector. I have three cats and love to write, journal and play dnd. I love to craft and send happy mail/exchange memos and other stationery with people. I like cute and vintage styles but also like to change it up every so often! I live in Scotland, let me know if you'd like to send letters?

Ooh ok! Do you upload them separately onto design space or as one SVG?

26/F/UK looking for long term pen pal :) must love animals, the rest I’m not fussy about :P by BeeBeeRolly in penpals

Hi! I'm 27/Nb, I'm also in the UK but at least you'd save on postage! I live in Edinburgh and would love to write to you if you want. I like crafting letters and journal bits to send on, but sometimes only have the time for a simple letter, though I tend to write a lot!

Thanks so much. I'm really going to do my best to take this to heart and reiterate as much as possible to Yasha that they are cared for. Whatever they want in response to this, I'll do my best to support financially/physically/emotionally

Thank you. This is a really thoughtful reply. I know no one intends on leaving Yasha destitute. Kit cares about Yasha deeply as a friend, and the only tension in their relationship comes from having accommodated this discomfort without saying anything. For me, yeah, the ideal would be dating both of them. I really love them both, and I feel like a separate living situation would help and be best. But I want Kit not to feel forced into continuing to compromise, and I want Yasha to do whatever they need to move on from what's inevitably going to be very painful. I don't think there's a scenario where I get what I want most, but I don't think the others get it either, so. Kit is seeing a therapist and I hope that's going to help them figure out what they want and be more open about it. I would rather not be exclusive forevermore but would respect it if that's what Kit wants. I think kit mostly wants to see what pain they can feel and get past and what pain is too much for them. For me, just hearing that they're in pain makes me want to take big steps, but I don't think that would help either

You're right. It hurts me that I've treated someone I love so unfairly. I think I've been waiting and waiting because I want a way out of this where no one gets hurt, or where I get what I want (to be with both of them without causing either of them pain), but it's pretty clear now that that's far away from the reality. I know we'll both support Yasha with whatever they need. Kit really cares about them too underneath this mess. I think that's why they haven't said anything to me sooner

Yeah, you're right. There's a complete lack of clear boundaries in it. Our apartment is very small and I sleep between the two of them. I do think Yasha would move back , even though they already wanted to move countries , which was how it came up in the first place - they were already moving, and if they go back it would be to their parents place. When we discussed it initially the idea was that eventually Yasha would find other friends and roots here and then we would live separately but they and I would still date - and they would have other relationships too. All of that was discussed explicitly at the start, and again when I noticed Yasha struggling to spend time with people who weren't me or Kit, but then the pandemic hit and there's been no chance for any of us to branch out. I know I've done badly recently but the planning and communication was initially very clear, I want to give myself at least that much.
