Keep writing. As the late GREAT Ed Wood said: “Keep writing. Your story may not get better, but your writing will.”
This is truth!

Looks great!
I’ll check that out. Thank you!!
Plenty to be optimistic about…
Thank you. I found that if I don’t doomscroll and just look up subjects I like… Then easier to be on good mood.
Me too! People need to relax and stop doomscrolling so much.
Does matter tho?
I’m in a good mood! :)
All great, interesting points. Thank you for that!
Friend, I’m sorry to hear you are going through that. I have no advice because I don’t even know what that would be like.
I’ve always had some sort of girlfriend in my life since middle school. BUT there are many times I shouldn’t have had one because some were just emotionally draining toxic people. But I always coupled up rather than went solo. I don’t know if it was out of habit or what. I just always was in a relationship.
My current gf wants to get married, but I’m hesitating. I actually wanna go solo for a bit, so just know that being in a relationship doesn’t solve everything.
Hope things work out for ya, mate!
Depends on how “old” you think is old. I turned 55, and I use to think 35 was “getting old.”
But that’s not old. But you are NEVER to old to change your life. I didn’t get my first degree until last year at age 54.
I was able to retire last month. So even tho 55 sounds old, in retirementland, it’s young.
Write your own story, be the hero of your story, regardless of age. Fuck ageism.
Unless it’s politics. Fucking politicians need to stop being politicians at age 60!
Well which do you want? More jobs or the military-industrial complex gone? Cuz if that disappears, WAY more jobs will be lost.
Agreed with almost every single part of your post. I have done the same thing for last few years. BUT I’m growing my hair out now that I’m retired and I am gonna be a hippie. Still use the beard trimmer daily tho!
I feel this. I prefer desktop for almost all of my posting and reading online. I only use phone when I am out and about.
Love this!
Great image!
Carl Kolchak, of course! Also, now that I’m retired, this is gonna be my new outfit every day. :)
Ok, so I am too old for the minecraft obsession. I remember when it came out and it was a cute little throwback to bit games. Then I watched it grow until what it is now.
When I heard it was going to be a movie, I thought it was as stupid idea. Jack Black in it? Ok, now a stupid idea made even more stupid.
But no lie, this trailer changed my mind. I’d actually watch this! lol
Studied/learned more Esperanto. Wrote more short stories. Worked on a little craft book nook. Studied/learned more math. Started my own Lemmy instance. Started a new rowing program. Worked out. Did my “one mile a day” runs (trying to do it for 365 days straight). Put up floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in my living room. And started learning sign language with my girlfriend.
