This could be me. I first really fell in love in my thirties. Before that I had book boyfriends. Characters who I related to because of how they were written.

I didn’t know what aromantic/asexual was at the time, but they both fit me. I’m now married to a man who is my best friend and who accepts me as I am.

And being aro/ace doesn’t mean that I don’t have feelings. I do. I just have no idea whatsoever on how to express them and still feel like me, I guess?

Vlogbrothers has been a favourite for many years. They do so much good! And do lots of silly stuff too, like making a series of videos with titles taken from smash mouth’s rockstar 😀

There is a thrift store in town with a carpet store attached, which is giant but 1/4th full. When we walked in the owner looked surprised we came to look at the thrift section. It was crap, and looked all untouched for a long long time

Create a reading space, no tech allowed. Then every time you want to go read (could set alarms for that), you set everything aside, go to your space and read.

I don’t get migraines but just pretty bad headaches and what helps me is staying in a dark room, putting an ice pack on my forehead and using a peppermint essential oil roller on my forehead and temples and then a muscle balm on my neck because often my neck muscles stiffen and that tends to make the headaches worse.

I hope your migraine lessens soon!

I used a couple of full spectrum bulbs in my old west facing office and the lighting was perfect for my art. Have since then moved to another spot, need to set the bulbs up there too before winter. 😀

I once managed to trip over a 5 cm metal ledge that I only noticed when I kicked into it while walking into a parking garage.

I fell over, fell on a knee that was just healed after another less stupid fall and scraped both hands badly too when I tried to break my fall.

So stupid!

Oh and it was after a concert and there were a lot of people present just watching me get up, crying in pain.

So it was my most embarrassing one too.

Thank you so much!

When I look back on my life, I always regret things I did out of fear or anxiety or any other emotions.

Trusting my gut, however, always led to the best for me in the long run.

In your case, did you follow your gut when heading home?

Also, your gut feelings are maybe muddled by emotions about the breakup, which is logical.

So give yourself some time to weigh your options and let your family and friends help you as well?

I do sometimes go back, but most of the places I used to visit are empty other than bots sharing crap. It used to be such a great place, had really supportive groups but also many many weird ones.

It’s never as bad as you fear.

Sleep is sacred!
