Tonight was a missed opportunity...

Meeting people online….i just spent the last 4 hours telling some guy not to be so hard on himself and eventually he’d meet someone who cared about him just for being him…I just wanted fun conversations!

I know it's not good, but is it terrible for me to want her to feel a pang of loss or something -- anything -- after she walked away? Feel as if something good is missing from her life that was there before? Because if she can walk away and be as if nothing happened, was it then nothing for her? Watching her reaction, nothing is what it was. So is it terrible to hope that there was somethign more?

No. It’s human. It sucks though to be left wondering.

I wonder if you're here under a different name again.... you were always good at pretending to be someone else.

Part of me wishes I could do that. To be someone else for a while. Another chance to start again. But honestly? I am too honest --and old-- to go through the effort.

That, plus these days I can't even remember where I left my glasses, how am I supposed to remember which stories I made up??

Exactly. Alts and toxic attempts to fool people are for the young...

I guess us old folks are just worn out and boring huh

Nope, we realize that just being us is fucking fascinating. You live a life, and there is no need to pretend to be someone else or make up stories. We are stories.

And don't let anyone make you forget it.

Bravo, well said. I like your way of looking at it. Maybe things aren't quite as bleak as they sometimes seen.

Excellent. I'll bring the snacks!

 

[hadahardon]

I'm hungry and my knees are fucked

Are your knees fucked because you're so hungry? Sorry couldn't resist! Bad knees are the worst.

 

[Bassytian]

I think I'll take a week or two off from writing after I submit my next chapter and my Halloween stories, my brain feels fried.

 

[Tallulah82]

I probably shouldn't have done that.

 

[mickyp123]

I probably shouldn't have done that.

Do you need a sLITicitor

 

[JackKingOff]

I think I meed a therapist… my head is a mess, and it is not appropriate to talk about my life at work.

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

Front or back???? I need to know, for science!

 

[Sexy_Singer]

I probably shouldn't have done that.

And now the mind is wondering...

 

[JackKingOff]

Front or back???? I need to know, for science!

If it can’t be both… so hard to decide! Front!

 

[MidwestPrincess23]

If it can’t be both… so hard to decide! Front!

The answer ended up being both
