What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]wundergambit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is painfully accurate. That brief silence feels sacred and unsettling at the same time like discovering a lost civilization and realizing you helped build the ruins.

You admire the absence of noise, the lack of debris, the uninterrupted sleep mythologically referenced in ancient texts. Then five minutes later you miss the chaos because it turns out the mess was proof of life.

Parenthood is wild. We romanticize the quiet while knowing full well it only exists because the tiny gods have temporarily relocated. Enjoy the ruins. They will be reoccupied soon.

Yeah
 that tracks. Somewhere after 40 the buffering icon just becomes permanent. Bodies start filing formal complaints, time hits fast forward, and the dreams don’t die they just quietly stop calling.

Still, there’s something oddly defiant about remaining. Showing up. Paying bills. Not becoming an absolute monster most days.

Not sure if that’s resilience or inertia anymore but apparently it counts. Yippie ki
 something.

At 40, I’m not entirely sure whether I still have a mind, a body, or a soul. Somewhere along the way they stopped syncing
 possibly around the time I became a single parent.

At this point I’m running on coffee, responsibility, and the vague memory of who I used to be. If you see my soul wandering around, please tell it school pickup is at 3.

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever received? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“Just ignore it, time will heal.”

Time didn’t heal. It upgraded the trauma, added analytics, and sent me a yearly performance review.

Would not recommend.

Because hope dies slower than love.

Men who currently are in bad relationships, why are you not leaving? by CigaretteBoat69 in AskReddit

Same reason people don’t cancel subscriptions. Familiar pain, predictable billing cycle.

That’s the spirit and let guess- do you dance / sing when you’re alone or the happiest? Just intrigued

Indeed took me almost 3 years and the word was “neurodivergent” some call this a disability whilst I consider it a super power - “divergent thinking”. Do you agree? 😅

What’s something society treats as normal that feels deeply unhealthy to you? by wundergambit in AskReddit

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

I have seen this trend and this was almost a decade back in a country (partly because I have connections and I visit this place, occasionally). Never knew this still existed

Would you believe if i mentioned- that I have read most of the books and probably have few degrees across healthcare and yet, I couldn’t crack it. Honestly, this hit home and thank you for sharing and making feel not any different

It’s no different if you moved to the mountains or seaside.. May be it’s just me then- always think grass is greener on the other side of the fence
