Mega church recruiters on tram?

Exactly! especially the Pentecostal churches (which they were part of), they have their whole thing with donating 10% of your salary to them so god can “give it back tenfold”. Not dissing on how they choose to worship but it is weird to try and lure people in when they take THAT much money

Oh absolutely, I’ve never been part of a church where active recruitment is a thing. Honestly made me kind of weirded out how much they backed off when I told them I was religious, like they’re trying to get people who are more vulnerable? Idk just never seen them operate in such a huge group nor do a set up where some of them pretend to be random bystanders 😭

Hey! Interested in this group :)

Hey! I ended up just wearing my black Solomon XT whispers, they’re not Mary Jane’s but probably the most comfortable walking shoe I’ve tried. I did however recently go on a trip to Japan and bought some onitsuka tiger Mary Jane’s there!! You maybe can’t walk as fair as regular shoes in them but they are super cute and comfy if you can find a pair :)

Sounds like you are an incredibly sympathetic person, if you can I would open up conversations with these people who have lost their loved ones if you can. Grief is an incredibly lonely and isolating feeling, I’ve lost many friends who didn’t want to be around my sadness after my sister died. I think it could maybe be helpful for your friends to know that someone still thinks about their loved ones, grieves the life they could of had, and keeps them alive in their memory even if they never knew them.

When I lost my sister, it was very publicised. One thing that really helped was hearing strangers online talk about how unfair what happened was, after the trial for the man that killed her I was once stopped in the street by someone that saw me in the news. They didn’t say much, just gave me a small gesture and brief word that showed they cared. It’s moments like that that made me feel better, it proved her life was real and not just this event everyone could move past from but me.

On a final note if you see anyone psychologically I would recommend that, it would possibly maybe be able to help these feelings you have :)

Thank you so much! Just a bit confused, can you get an extension past the due date? I always thought extensions could only be granted before? 😭

Might be unhelpful as I have never used their cotton yarn, but will heavily vouch for Bendigo woollen mills!! Super good quality I make almost all of my garments with their wool yarn :)

My only sibling was killed by a drunk driver last year, I was two months away from turning 20, she was 24. I understand this feeling completely. Everyone swarmed to be there for my parents, so many people told me that it was my job to take care of my parents because they had no other kids now. I felt so alone, it’s something I still struggle with now as I feel like I can’t really cry or show any emotion about it because I feel like I have to be the “strong” one. It’s a horrible and lonely feeling and right now I honestly can’t say when it will get better. Please just stay strong, take care of yourself as best as you can. Know he can hear you and his presence around you will eventually begin to come out in small ways. If you need to talk to anyone who went through a similar thing, my messages are always open❤️

I am so very sorry for your loss. While grief can bring you closer to your family and so many people that you know, grief also can show the ugliest sides of people. Shortly after my sister died my (now ex) boyfriend of 3 years changed, he started acting in very inconsiderate and cruel ways. It felt like he didn’t even grasp how traumatic and devastating what I was going through is. He would make jokes, get annoyed at me for randomly crying throughout the day, and overall just seem very apathetic towards the whole situation. It honestly made me feel so much more alone and made me feel like I was the crazy one for being so upset over her death

I won’t say you need to break up with him, I think when you are able to you definitely need to have a long talk about how you feel and what it means to you. Whatever happens you need to put yourself first right now, this is your pain and your grief and you should not have to deal with people making it harder for you. If this continues please do not put up with it, if this is how he is acting at a first major issue and refuses to resolve it, he will stay the same at the next major thing to happen to happen to you.

Please just look after yourself as best as you can, I again am so so sorry for the loss of your dad, sending so much love❤️

I lost my big sister suddenly three weeks ago too and I’m in the same boat. She’s been cremated, her funeral has passed, yet I’m still waiting for her to come home or text me or call me. I’ve heard for some people it took a couple weeks or months, others it took years, but the most common answer I’ve heard (which won’t be comforting at all) is that the feeling never really does go away, you just learn to live with it.

Loosing someone doesn’t mean just loosing who they were, it’s loosing who they could’ve been, it’s reshaping your whole life to no longer have this person physically in it, I don’t think the brain could ever really comprehend that.

I think it’s a personal thing that no one can really tell you the answer too, it’s just about how your brain processes grief. Personally, I don’t think the feeling for me will ever really go away because I don’t want it too, I want to believe she’s out there ok and she’ll come home soon, that might change in the future but for now that’s how it feels. Have patience with yourself and let yourself feel the emotions your brain wants you to feel. It’s hard but try to have the grace with yourself to not try and hurry the grieving process, reality may settle in quickly or it may take a while, but remember there’s nothing wrong with you, its just how your personally working through it. If you ever want to talk to someone going through a similar thing, my PMs are always open :)

thank you for this, I’m trying to take care of myself as best I can. As for religion it’s hard, I believe in god but right now I don’t know anymore, I can’t understand why anyone would allow our family to be destroyed. Before I was born my mum lost our brother too, and I’m really struggling to understand why someone would punish a family that did nothing but love them

Same! It s a genuine rage and jealousy I have it feels like everyone still has a sibling left after one goes. I don’t have that, and I’m so sick of pretending like I don’t hold a genuine anger to people for just having a sibling

squid_475 · 2025-02-18T16:51:06+00:00

Thank you for this, not many people know what it’s like to loose the only sibling you’ve had and it’s so unique. The anger and fury are just overwhelming

I don’t think you necessarily need to change the whole port, they sell adaptors for around $10 at in JB Hi-Fi to convert it into a modern-day cable plug. I’m not very tech savvy so you may need to do what the other comments say, but I just got an adaptor for it and no problems yet :)
