Hi y’all! I know this sub isn’t very active but I wanted to share something. Personally, I’m a trans guy who’s suffered from anorexia for most of my life. I realized I was trans while in treatment for my ed, but being that I was at a “women’s ed center”, it definitely was not a great environment for me. This was a few years ago now, and I still struggle with my ed. One of the hardest parts of having an ed is also being trans (or dysphoria in particular for me), as it’s how I’ve masked those feelings for years, and how I deal with dysphoria. Not to get too self-centered, but I’m just so glad I found this community of other trans people like me (not that I think anyone deserves to go through an ed, but I feel less alone). I’m currently in my second year of college now, and my dream in life is to open a nonprofit organization to help trans people who suffer from eating disorders. My time in treatment, and outside of it, has made me realize that many ed treatment providers aren’t aware of how to specifically help trans people’s unique struggles with ed’s, and I want to use my own story to help others. Granted, I only know my own struggles as a trans guy with an ed, and it’s different for everyone/may be different for trans fem/nonbinary people (which I definitely 100% will learn about their struggles to help too), but I want to help trans people with eds know they’re not alone.

anyways, i’m not sure why i’m sharing this here, but I just want to thank the people on this sub. I kinda just wanted to share this because it’s something i’m really passionate about, and not many people understand why I want to go into this profession. but, even if I can just make more people aware of how to help us, I feel like it would be worth it <3

I’m also sorry if this sounds really self-centered, that wasn’t my intention. I also apologize if this type of info isn’t allowed on here (i’m sorry)

New to this sub, just got a kayak and I am struggling with what is the best way to manage the rod after I land the fish.
So what happens is I get the fish close, get them with the net and from there I have no idea what to do with my rod. I would have no problem putting it behind me but the line is so tight at that point I don’t have the room to put it behind me. The rod holder also… not enough room. So I end up looking like an idiot trying to either pull line out or open the bail while this fish is mean eyeing me from the net in my lap. Get it all done and I have to usually spend 2 minutes getting everything back in order.
Tip / tricks would be nice.

I had a seven-month relationship, which ended on January 12. We never had problems or internal conflicts, the only discussions, if it can be called that, were about me giving too much space to her, as fear of becoming just one person as it happened in my old relationship. Sometimes I feel like I tried to sabotage this relationship, because I wasn't doing well in graduation.
​
​
She broke up with me because, according to her, she wasn't able to feel anything because of life events. Her father was with cancer, grandfather hospitalized for the same reason, mother with a deep depression and her 12 year old dog died during this period. In some moments at the end of our relationship I couldn't be so understanding, because I was also in a bad way. At other times I was very understanding. I remember that one day we went to the beach, one of our favorite roles, I started to tell her a story about my life and she just cried, a very sincere cry, because she couldn't feel anything and was very afraid that we wouldn't reconnect. I told her that we had something beautiful and that it was a phase, we would reconnect and go through this moment together. We went home soon after and she continued talking normally, apologized for being rude, which I don't think she was.
​
​
She also asked for some time off, by message, which made me feel really bad. The next day I asked her to call me and we talked. I felt really bad that she wanted a break during our vacation period, where, also she was going to travel to see a friend and then spend a week in a course. We had always been very open to trips and alone time like this, and I also trusted her enough to know that she wouldn't be with someone else. Two hours after our conversation, she texted me saying she doesn't want to distance herself from me and doesn't know what's going on with her. We got back together.
​
​
On the day she went on a trip, she dropped by my house to leave a book with me. It was the day after we went to the beach. She didn't get out of the car and I figured she didn't want to kiss me. She asked me where my kiss was and I said the phrase that I regret the most, "I never know when you want to kiss me". I apologized later and she said it was ok.
​
​
She went to her appointments and during this period her puppy got sick, which made her come back earlier. We went out to eat and she decided to break up, because she saw me and felt nothing. She said that she left home without having made this decision, but that she really needed to be alone and that the events had affected everything in her life, but especially our relationship. She said that I was her first love and that I had many good things to say about our relationship and about me, that she still loved me, but that she couldn't feel that now and that it wasn't fair to me to hold me back without knowing if someday she would be able to feel something again. She also said that she didn't see our story ending right now, that we would still meet again.
​
​
Before this event, she said "I don't want to scare you, but I really see myself with you" and her feelings, the emotional block, happened after she was discharged from the psychiatrist.
​
​
I would text her every 14 days to see how things were going, because I was always worried about her. She became active again on social networks, posting stories going out with her friends, which in a way did me good and bad. It was good to see that she was happy, but at the same time it hurt me to see her and know that I'm not part of her life anymore.
​
​
29 days ago she sent me a message "just checking in to see how you are" I replied and all the feelings for her came to surface. A week later I saw her traveling, and on that same day, it was the graduation of some friends. I drank and texted lol saying that I still liked her, that my feelings hadn't changed and if we could meet, I also asked about her psychiatrist. She said it wasn't healthy for us to see each other for now and she didn't want to talk about the appointment with me, before, even after the break up, she did. After that we never talked again (it's been only a week).
​
Last week we went to the same graduation, we saw each other, but we didn't talk. Her friends looked at me and left. We exchanged a glance when I went to the bathroom and she was leaving and that was it. Before, she always said hello to me.
​
Our relationship was wonderful, I always got along well with her, family and friends.
​
I know that somehow, life will still unite us, but at the moment things are complicated.

PICS ON MY PROFILE.
I’m 37 , 5’6 , chubby and black man. Kinda want to milk someone like today or tomorrow on my massage table. Them laying down or me standing behind them. Really want it to be discreet. I’m open to all as long as you don’t have any active transmitable diseases. I like chubby, cd, trans, fem the most but I’m open to all. Lmk. Today and Friday only.

Hi, I’m fairly certain this does not violate the guidelines, though I apologize if it does.
I recently got accepted in my Master’s program at SFSU and really want to make the most of my next two years here. I’m trying to secure a room for myself later this July/August and am hoping to room with other queer and/or creative individuals somewhat near campus.
If anybody knows somebody they can direct me to or perhaps recommend a more appropriate place to search, I would greatly appreciate it 😁❣️

https://www.sfcv.org/articles/music-news/sf-symphony-boldly-goes-where-not-many-orchestras-have-gone#:~:text=Credit%3A%20Andrew%20Eccles-,SF%20Symphony%20Boldly%20Goes%20Where%20Not%20Many%20Orchestras%20Have%20Gone,Gereben%20on%20March%2028%2C%202023.&text=When%20Esa%2DPekka%20Salonen%20succeeded,a%20bold%2C%20sensational%20first%20season.
The article claims they are playing music which is "contemporary, multidisciplinary, and diversity-oriented as ever," but that is just a thin veneer of excuses for playing pieces that the majority of music goers don't enjoy. Yes, classical music is enjoyed by a shrinking minority, but the solution isn't to start playing some of the most pretentious sounding music I've ever heard (I listened to all the pieces on this list, or at least the one's I could find on youtube).
As a young individual, whose tastes and aesthetics are still growing, I am open to finding new pieces and composers, and do so on a daily basis (just the other day I discovered John Ireland and his piece called "Tritons" and loved it!). However, the music the SF orchestra is committing to isn't the stuff that I, or anyone else in my generation, are likely to connect with. We love the aesthetic of orchestral music, you see it on TikTok all the time, from Rach 2 to Amore Piu Aiutami to Rex Orange County, there is a resurgence, small but detectable. In my opinion, this orchestra is just burying a hole for itself, clinging to the "experimental" or "groundbreaking." This excuse of being "experimental" or "pushing the boundaries" of music should've died out with Bartok and Schoenberg.
What are your thoughts? But please, save your intellectual elitism for someone else, your claims of "I'm just not educated in my tastes" or "I just don't get it" are insulting to yourselves.
(The reason I put quotes around words like experimental or groundbreaking is because all these pieces, in my opinion, are all awfully similar to each other, too similar in their trends and tendencies to be considered experimental by any scope of the meaning. This wave of contemporary music, meant to break rules, has become a slave to it's own rules. God forbid you compose a beautiful melody, you have to sound like absolute chaos. I don't consider any of this experimental, to be honest it's pretty stale and indicative of it's genre. I don't necessarily have a problem with that, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Mozart or Beethoven were all indicative of theirs, but at least they weren't trying to convince you otherwise, they just made music you could enjoy).

Hi! I'm looking for some new roleplay partners as I've recently found myself with some free time on my hands and a lot of inspiration. I'll list some stuff I'm interested in and specific things I'm looking for down below. ♡
ABOUT ME/WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR

I write long, detailed replies in the literate style. My length can vary based on what I receive, but for interest's sake I like to keep them from being too absurdly long. Third person is heavily preferred, but I'm not a stickler for tense. I'm looking for someone who is at LEAST 18.
Content wise, I prefer dark and drama filled plots. We can discuss what that means in detail later but, for clarification, I'm not looking for slice of life fluff at the moment. With that said, I'm one hundred percent open to multiple plots and tropes, don't be afraid to suggest things! I'm pretty lenient with fiction. Currently I'm looking for Canons (any gender pairing) I don’t mind if you use OCs for side characters, but I am not a fan of OCs as mains.
Fandom-wise, I'm also a big fan of crossover roleplays as well. But that can be up for you to decide.​
Looking to give ships time to grow, create the chemistry in RP, and enjoy a gradual burn. Prefer the lead in and then 'fade to black' approach for the adult situations.
Main goal is to dig into the canon history and building on it in interesting ways. Appreciate thoughtful & nuanced portrayals that treat canon characters as complex.
I am a literate writer and expect the same from you. One-liners are only acceptable for the interactions that demand them, but they will remain rare. I will not drown you in text every other response, but I will write up to what I feel is appropriate and I expect you to do the same. I average 3-6 paragraphs once we are past introductory material.
Please be open to writing a cast of characters if the plot calls for it. I don't mind if the focus is solely on two people, but there is room for secondary and background characters.
Would love to tailor plots to the specific characters and their potential dynamic. I absolutely love the process of plotting, workshopping ideas, spinning off into AUs and generally finding something that can be really character driven.
Plot-based stuff is going to be all up to discussion. Things can get dark. They can be as dark as you want them to be. On the lighter side, I love the different relationship dynamics that can come of the characters unique personalities. Either way, if you have an idea, spring it on me and we'll see if things work out.
Have an idea for a scene? Found a picture that inspired you? Send it to me! Be invested when it comes to plotting/worldbuilding. There's nothing worse than receiving one sentence in reply to two paragraphs of ideas, or having a doormat partner who says "sure" to whatever I ask. Building ideas one on top of the other, watching them snowball into amazing plot threads brings me joy. But having to pull plot ideas like I'm pulling teeth makes me think you're not interested, and I will lose interest in return.
For now, I'm only looking to write MxF and FxF pairings.
Last but not least, and this is not a requirement, I'm a huge fan of talking about our plot. By that I mean I enjoy making playlists, sharing pinterest boards and random photos that remind us of the characters et cetera. If you're not interested in that, no harm no foul, just something to keep in mind!

Hello R4R!
I'm a 33 years young professional moving soon to the Kingston area in Ontario. I'm a member of the military, in case that's a deal-breaker.
I'm fluent in both French and English, my career is well on track and I make a comfortable living. I do not have kids or have ever been married.
I am 6' tall and I like to keep active. I don't look like a model but I take good care of myself. Good head of (brown) hair with hazel eyes. I'm Caucasian if that matters.
You
I'm looking for someone to make a real connection with, whether that means a long term relationship or something more casual, I want someone I'm excited to spend time with!
I'm not really interested in a forever pen-pal situation, so ideally you would live in Kingston, Montreal or Ottawa since I frequently go to these cities.
I'm not going to pretend physical attractiveness does not matter, so please be open to exchange pictures relatively quickly (I will be happy to initiate/reciprocate). I'm open to all ethnicities and styles, but my one deal-breaker would be someone that's overweight.
My (and hopefully our!) Interests

• I'm a history and social/political science nerd. Love to discuss issues and philosophy. I would label myself as a moderate.
  
• I live a very active lifestyle and work out 4-5 days a week.
  
• I love to travel, I've toured a fair bit of Europe and North America.
  
• I love boardgames of all kinds! Whether classics like chess or something recent like Arkham Horror.
  
• This is Reddit, so obviously I'm a "gamer", though I've drastically cut on my gaming time lately. I play on PC and PS5 and love a wide range of titles.
  
• I love movies! Will also watch shows with you, complimentary backrubs and commentary included.
  
• I don't take myself (too) seriously, though my sense of humour might take some getting used to. I guarantee we'll create some in-jokes pretty quick.
  

I think that's enough for now, hopefully that gives you an idea of who I am as a person. If that sounds good, let me know a bit about you and we'll take it from there :)

Hello, I’m 20F and seeking some support and advice. I’ve not been diagnosed, however my psychiatrist wanted to test me for it 5 years ago and my parents didn’t want me to. I was immature at the time and didn’t want to have adhd so I didn’t get the test.
The last day before exam week my prof asks the class questions that are on the written exam. So yesterday she asked us questions. I usually wait a few seconds after she asks, for the rest of the class to get the opportunity to say the answer.
I was getting every question right when the class went silent and she would look at me, but then I got overexcited somehow and blurt out something when she was still giving the multiple choice
AND I blurted out the wrong answer and I instantly realized it, and the class said ‘WHAT’ ‘NO’. i did say the right answer after she repeated the question but I hate myself for this.
I feel so dumb and ASHAMED even though many of my classmates say I’m the smartest in our class. I don’t like being called that. I’m not.
I didn’t get to apologize to the professor either, but I want to. But I don’t know how.
I have nearly all the signs of adhd except for getting up during class. Every single day I misplace things and forget to do important things and I’m tired of it, I get so overwhelmed and exhausted looking for the 4th thing I’ve lost in a day.
How do I stop feeling ashamed for this? Apologize to professor and explain? Would being properly diagnosed improve my quality of life?

I feel like I have so many questions maybe concerns no idea I’m just lost in my sea of emotion but back story: ( I know it’s long might not seem relevant but it pays to know a little of our stories if you don’t want to read that I have a list of questions at the bottom)
I am 22 years old, my partner is 24 we met not too long ago and thing’s obviously moved a bit fast when considering we are already having not one but 2 children together now. I am currently 12 weeks 5 days along and our babies should be arriving in September 2023. Before this we were both living 2 very different yet similar lives if that makes any sense, looking back we always wondered how the heck our lives ever crossed because we are on completely different paths. He is a city guy, loves his community (we are both from tribal communities), sports fanatic, gym rat, loved being out with the boys on the weekend, truly just living life to the fullest. I on the other hand have always been the go to work, go home, go the the gym and repeat on the daily. I spend a lot of my time in my cultural ways 365 days a year. I fell in love with the gym became my own kind of gym rat where my schedule became work running on my lunch break running after work attending my traditional canoe training running again and hitting the gym until 12am going home and sleeping and repeating this over and over. Before my pregnancy I also paid for myself to get my dream plastic surgery a BBL (Brazilian butt lift, if you don’t know long story short it’s a fat transfer from your desired location to your butt) I have always been super self conscious of my body and this was the one thing I wanted to do for myself as I saved the money and truly transformed myself into my dream body. Here’s where I need a little bit of advice
Questions

1. Am I the only person who is absolutely heartbroken at times, almost as if I am mourning the body I worked so hard for, for years? And does this make me a terrible person? I promise there are nights where I no longer feel beautiful and cry like there’s no tomorrow because of the changes happening to my body.
   
2. My partner is always sharing these beautiful women on his social media, (celebrities (music artist, gym babes) to be exact) but this truly makes me feel worse about my body they have these gorgeous bodies that I truly think I nearly idolized before my pregnancy am I emotional, over reacting, or is it completely normal to be upset and when I say upset I don’t mean mad I mean hurt by it because I know I will never look anything like that and my body now is going through so many changes and it’s hard for me to see the beauty in it.
   
3. I have been experiencing the worst “morning sickness” from almost all hours of the day nothing is helping and I am miserable I vomit all day long, I feel like I have no energy, it’s like having the flu headaches body aches hot flashes etc. anyone have any ideas on what might help ?
   
4. Is guilt normal? I feel guilty all the time for feeling like I complain all the time. Everyone tells me I should be enjoying this and embracing this journey and I am honestly not and it makes me feel like I am a bad person for that.
   
5. Anything a new young mother should know especially when bringing twins into this world ANYTHING at all I am feeling a bit overwhelmed today and just need advice.
   

Just had a blast playing through X for the first time with: Greninja, Charizard, Garchomp, Gardevoir, Aegislash, and Lucario. Greninja made for a really reliable sweeper against most trainers or random encounters while I think the standouts were Charizard and Gardevoir who both really helped me with the E4/Champion (though Garchomp's earthquake really helped too).
I've done some research for UM, and so far, this is what I've come up with:
Incineroar (I really like fire starters, and cats)
Alolan Raichu (I've heard good things and it'd be nice to have a pure electric again on a team)
Starmie (Used one before in LG, and it was nice having a surf/psychic package)
Hawlucha (I'm not the biggest fan of fighting types (minus Lucario) but I've heard great things, and, need someone that can learn fly)
Garchomp (starting to feel like "old reliable", though I've heard you can't get the earthquake tm in this one 'till after the E4?)
________?
I still don't know who I should pick for my sixth. A few options I've considered, either for looks or stats are: Lilligant (used in Platinum and she kicked butt), Salazzle (love the look), Lucario again, Mudsdale (keep hearing it's amazing), Swampert (instead of Starmie), and Metagross. I'm open to switching it up if my composition isn't good, and pretty much any sixth member.

I’ve recently been getting lots of cheating vids on my TikTok feed and couple of days ago my gf just cried out of no where…
I kept asking why and she explains it’s bc she felt fat. She has issues with her body image and is no where near fat, her culture back home (Asia) has crazy unrealistic beauty standards so I figured that’s why she’s upset. We are in the USA so I tell her how she’s really underweight if anything. Then she also said yesterday that she cried at work bc the work was starting to build up. I told her to tell the boss how she feels and tell them to F off basically.
I just can’t seem to figure out why she cried and asked me if u still loved her and keep getting cheating vids on TikTok. Am I just worrying about nothing? How should I find out for sure?

(Didnt send this message while you were asleep because I don't wanna do or send any stuff when you're asleep and not in control as it can trigger you )
It's so very important to not lose a sense of who you are. Please do things that make you happy. I know you love buying stones, hell yeah buy them to your heart's content. I know you love thrifting. Please do things that make you happy. You love kuwtk and joe yanks, thats good. It's a great distraction. It gives you moments of relief and thats very important. You love starbucks, veggie burger, fry sauce, playing with your nephews, listening to joji, billy joel, thrifting and buying cute clothes, astrology and moon stuff and witchcraft?, looking at houses on Architectural digest, these are the little things in life that give you joy and it is so important to enjoy them.
It might seem like everyone's life is moving forward while you're still stuck. That's okay. There is no rulebook to life. Take things at your own pace. Take things slowly. Prioritize your comfort and mental wellness. Being in pain makes you so vulnerable to developing unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol or drugs. But i know you are one strong person. You quit nicotine ( one of the most difficult things in the world to quit). I couldn't have done it, but you did it. That just shows how strong you are and i am so so so proud of you. Crying, expressing your emotions, being depressed, feeling hurt, they're not signs of weakness. People who hurt you are the weak ones. You endured the hurt and are still so kind to everyone in your life. You are one tough cookie.
Its okay to be angry. Your anger is very valid after what you've been through. You always blamed yourself hitting your ex. It wasnt abuse, it was defense. It was your way of taking back control and it was 100% justified. People hurting you is not your fault. It is their fault, they are pieces of shit (including me). You called me your chosen family and that's the most beautiful thing to say to any person. It just shows that your kindness has always been there. You are so considerate that you even apologized for that silly joke about adhd "at least i can watch a full movie". I honestly thought that was funny and my kind of humor . You pointed it out when i jokingly said the 'r' word and said that it wasn't appropriate. That moment showed how considerate and sweet you are. You care about people's feelings, you care about how you make them feel, you are a gem of a person. And no one can take that away from you. No one can take sylvie away from you. You are precious.
When i called you yesterday and you were crying that's the most amount of pain i have seen any person in. It was so heartbreaking to see you like that and that i was the one who pushed you to such a breakdown. It's important to focus on the positive people in your life - your mom who is the sweetest and loveliest (amazing piano player too), your dad who is so caring and understanding and empathetic, and your sister Mary who is your best friend. (she deserves an entire page of apology from me on how i talked to her). Storm loves you, They love you and they have your back no matter what. Dont hesitate to hug them anytime you wake up in the middle of the night during a nightmare. Your home is your safe space. You are safe in it. Your family is your safe space. You are safe in your bed at night. No one can hurt you or touch you without your consent there.

Hello,
I am an married male 31 years of age looking for some text buddies. I am in a open relationship with my wife, I have been in the Computer Science field for 10 years and she is in Medical Billing. I like to text about traveling, cars, careers, electronics, family, and gaming. I also like to talk about things that I feel I shouldn’t put on here. If you’re interesting in texting message me on here!

Hey there, DMs and DM-adjacents. Need some help with ideas for an upcoming large encounter that will culminate the first arc of a campaign.
Essentially, the starting town the party has ingratiated themselves to is going to be attacked by a rogue military force from a nearby city who are actually cultists dedicated to a lost god. A tale as old as time. They know this attack is coming in roughly a week.
The battle itself will take place on a large battlemap near the center of the town, with the perimeter being the chaotic “fray” of battle as the enemy forces tear through the town. The party will face the leader, his personal guard and some other large mobs. The “fray” allows me to keep things contained and also add in mobs as needed. There will be various win states, including holding out long enough for a massive allied force to rescue the situation (think Gandalf at the Battle of Helm’s Deep). However, the longer the fight goes on, the greater the possibility of townsfolk or key NPCs falling in battle will be.
I am running the lead-up to this fight as a period of downtime-type activity, similar to Blades in the Dark if you’re familiar with that, where they can decide what type of preparations they want to do in order to be ready for this attack.
The options are pretty open, but the things I expect them to do are:

• Recruit allies: They’ve made friendly relations with at least 3 factions (two town leaders and a bandit leader who wants to go straight) who could be convinced to aid in the battle.
• Train the town to defend itself: It’s a small town, but there are able-bodied members who could be conscripted to help out.
• Set traps: They could set up pit, spike or some other sorts of defenses around town.
• Recon: They could scout the camp, and learn more about what they’re up against and perhaps gain an advantage or try a preemptive strike.
• Shop: There is a traveling merchant I use as a gold sink who often has magical items and will be in town, so they could buy some items to help.

Those are just a few of the things that come to mind, but I need some ideas and help with other possibilities and/or how some of this could play out mechanically.
How would you run the potential recruitment of allies? What are the variations in aid they could provide? How would that play out in combat without being too cumbersome and slowing things down? What effect would the town having conscripts or traps have on the battle? What advantage could they gain from scouting the camp? What could I stock at the traveling merchant that could be useful? How can I, or even should I, limit what they can do in this downtime? Should there be a cost to limit them from getting all of the advantages?
Any thoughts, suggestions, help, advice, or encouragement is most welcome. Cheers and thanks!

Psh no one was there to protect me when I was 16-2 months an he was 29-11 months!!! Nothing to be done- just bc I was married at the time for 2 MONTHS- like I knew ANYTHING about the world- no one to help with a divorce also ….
Gave him right to manipulate- belittle- badger- control- steal from me ~ have children he stated he couldn’t have- leave me every 2 weeks for 2 yrs ~ control whom I talked to- what I done…. Controlled the funds I worked to provide while he stayed home- not watching our kids! So many upset in the comments about 10 yrs- where was MY PROTECTION HARDIN CO? No where- it never has been! Each time u arrest him- he is released thereafter an his mobile patrol taking down….WHY- bc he’s a snitch of Hardin county- you get way further doing so ~ that is why I was NOT protected- the informant was! Officer discretion needs to stop - wrong is wrong , right is right! If u believe wrong doings have happened - you pursue the defendant for such… u don’t turn a cheek an say we’ll I don’t want to do paperwork today ~ or I know them- or there’s nothing I can do - OUR LAWS SHOULD PROTECT MINORS MORE- I was signed Off to my 18.5 yr old husband by my maternal gpa an father as my gma who raised me sat in the car crying….. the act of meeting an having my 1st child at 16-1month DIDNT change my life an the way it went- the SINGLE ACT OF BEING MARRIED OFF DID! I do not regret my beautiful babies- but I so hope in the next 10-20 yrs I can write my book- speak to battered an abused women- men an children..and MAKE GREAT CHANGES TO TN LAWS!

I just want you to know that all the feelings you're feeling are completely valid. You must be going through fuckton of changing emotions every minute. They matter and they're valid. Not a single one of those emotions is irrelevant. Its okay to go through those emotions. I know you always put the strong girl face in front of everyone. I am so sorry that the girl is hurting so deeply and intensely. Take things in your life at your own pace. I know the world feels overwhelming to exist in rn. But i want you to remember you're safe, surrounded by your lovely family. I LOVED it when you hugged your mom for comfort. I am so thankful she is there for me. As far as i am concerned, after what ive done, i don't deserve a place in your life in any capacity, not even as a stranger. The more i realize the magnitude of hurt ive caused the more i hate myself.
what happened to you destroyed your boundaries and sense of control. I am extremely sorry for all the times i pushed your boundaries. All the boundaries that you put are perfectly valid and justified. I know its difficult to see the light right now but believe there is a light at the end of this painful tunnel. You are such a kind person that you tried to stop talking to me because you thought you were making me suicidal (it was not the case). You selflessly put my interest above yours. Thats the sweetest thing a person could do and i didnt even recognize it till yesterday.
Its okay to cry it all out. You are a very sensitive person in a very fragile state of mind. You are so so strong i cant even explain in words. Please dont EVER blame yourself for any of what happened. I can't imagine how haunting it must be to go through those nightmares at night again and again. And yet you are still here, surviving everyday, fighting everyday. You are a very very courageous woman.
I didn't realize the intensity of the pain you've been feeling. I was always too selfish to bring up feelings and shit. What matters the most is your healing. And thats the only thing that matters. The world can go fuck itself. How could i not see that you're barely not even able to survive. I hate myself for not seeing the pain youre carrying with you everyday. You are a warrior.
The [email protected], None of what happened was your fault. You are not guilty of anything. ANYTHING. You are not worthless. You are a beautiful human who is the most precious soul in the world. It doesnt define you. You deserve a happy, fulfilling life. Always remember that you are a survivor, not a victim. You survived that shit. And that just shows how strong you are.

In all of his years as a soldier Sergeant Myrnov had seen many dead bodies in his time. But never one such as the one he had the displeasure of staring at now.
Before him his company commander, Captain Solinkov was absolutely sobbing next to a dead hooker on the bed while his XO, Lieutenant Artyom was beside him staring in disbelief. He had no idea what he was walking into, but sadly he was now here.
After a moment Captain Solinkov rubbed his eyes “This isn’t how I wanted things to end, this isn’t how I wanted things to end at all”.
As he spoke Lieutenant Artyom was already shutting the curtains and spoke to comfort his commander “no Sir we know you didn’t mean to its alright.. did anyone see you come in here?”
Captain Solinkov just shook his head, unable to focus “no, no I don’t think so” he then stood up and began to pace the floor when Sergeant Myrnov spoke
“I think we should inform the police, with your rank and connections Sir I’m sure everything would be fin-“
However Lieutenant Artyom cut him off before he could finish “That won’t be nesscary Sergeant, do me a favor and look down the hallway to make sure if anyone is there”.
Sergeant Myrnov then sighed and creaked open the door to see the inside of an empty cheap hotel before discreetly closing the door and replying “the hallway is empty Sir”.
Lieutenant Artyom then spoke as if he was the one wearing the double bars “now Sir we will take care of this whole thing for you.. But we’d better get our story straight. She died of a heart attack and there was nothing more that could be done, do you understand Sir?”
Captain Solinkov nodded and began adjusting his uniform as he took a deep breath “Alright, she died of a heart attack and there was nothing more that could have been done.”
Lieutenant Artyom then nodded “good.. now you go ahead Sir and get another room and we will sort this out.”
The captain then nodded and took one last glance at the hooker before putting on his cap “it’s a damn shame, she was very nice you know. We spent the whole evening talking about my ex wife and our kids over some drinks.”
Sergeant Myrnov then asked “What was her name Sir?”
However Lieutenant Artyom answered for him “that doesn’t matter Sergeant” he said reminding him of his rank.
The very dreadful reply reminded Captain Solinkov of their situation and he extended his hand to Lieutenant Artyom “you’re a good friend Pavel. Per usual I won’t forget this”. Lieutenant Artyom then said the same to the good captain. And with that Captain Solinkov gave a slight nod to Segerant Myrnov wishing him the same before he left.
Lieutenant Artyom then got to work immediately, as if he had done this a hundred times before and rolled the frail woman’s body into a spare bedsheet from the closet and Sergeant Myrnov helped him carry her down the hallway and towards a cemetery when Lieutenant Artyom whispered
“no, the river”
They then went towards the local river and took every back alley they could to avoid crowds of drunken soldiers and annoyed townsfolk until they came to the river and Lieutenant Artyom was preparing to throw her in when Sergeant Myrnov stopped him.
“Sir aren’t we going to say a few words for her?”
Lieutenant Artyom answered him with a stare and they then quietly threw the poor girl into the river and began walking off back towards the hotel with an awkward silence coming over them.
After walking a few blocks Sergeant Myrnov finally asked the question he had been thinking about for the past hour.
“Sir, if you don’t mind me asking.. how have you remained your composure this entire time?”
Lieutenant Artyom walked some time before he finally answered.
“Because this isn’t the first time he’s done this”.

Good human being seeking another good human being.
Reached escape velocity at 24 after being raised in the cult.
At 55 I'm now pivoting into a civil rights activist role aspiring to "police auditor" for those familiar with the esoteric moniker.
I am seeking a like minded straight partner of either sex to travel coast to coast in my RV creating sensational digital content. I'm searching for good human beings and hope to locate them within this fallout from a flawed organization thats full of good human beings. I believe groups like this still contain the remnants of those I seek.
A short and incomplete synopsis of my objectives is at the link but I will forefeight my objectives in favor of an an an opposite sex match that, like me, would like to union with a good human being that aims to be just a little bit better than the day before with each sunrise. Sunrises that will be over in the flash of the pan before we know what hit us.
I am open to either sex for meeting mutual professional objectives. I am straight but not a prude.
I am not entirely devoted to the civil rights role and open to cooperating with your existing commercial endeavors that would be more profitable or enjoyable if you could ride about by RV calling on high value clients coast to coast as I did before in a previous life myself before arriving at this cross road where I now broadcast a call for an associate. Seeking to land in a new atmosphere focused on a satisfying livelihood with "contentment" as the name of the game having already learned the almighty buck does not buy happiness. The witnesses got that part right at least.
Money can't buy you happiness, but it can sure let you find it in a lot more places.
I'm a new to me singer so those with interest in entertainment objectives mild to wild welcome to reach out.
You can learn a bit about me at these links.
