Musings, ideas, what are you thinking about?

I love it when it's raining, especially how it sounds with the window open when I'm falling asleep.

Thinking about death brings me peace.

I am so ready for my life to be over. Am tired of the pain. Both mental and physical. Am tired of medical system getting me through tests and appointments to see what is wrong and what they might be able to do about it. (If is what I think it is, there won't be much). Am tired of PT for my back. Am tired of living in a world that is tearing itself apart. It seems like humanity must continually work at destroying itself for life to have any meaning. Am tired of inflation, unaffordable gas, and things only getting worse. God, PLEASE take me home. SOON!

So sorry my friend Life can be so cruel.

I’m listening to a talk about yogic philosophy, and musing about how they start to all sound the same after a while. It’s like there is a template TED Talk presentation style that all the cool kids copy from each other.

Hearing rain is my favorite way to fall asleep.

carrying the puppy by its collar, it’s a miracle it didn’t die.

@Shelly Yeah geez the cartoonist should've done their homework. Puppies are carried by their mums,but ffs not like that.

Normally I would hate that, but I've recently noticed I like the way Brits call everyone "honey" or "darling". It makes me feel less awkward at appointments/phone calls, like they understand I'm struggling here and are trying to comfort me.

I do notoriously have a shaky, anxious voice and way of speaking, even when I'm relaxed.

There is nothing better than when a waitress at a diner calls you “honey.” It just makes you feel good about life, even though you know she calls everyone that.

Oooh, they do that in the US, too? I thought it was a very British thing. I mostly hear it from women, but not only the older ones. In Liverpool I got it from barely adults (and I'm 32 now, I don't pass for that young anymore :p).
I forgot another common one, "love".

Yeah, I kinda love it because it signifies that that person is trying to be nice, and talking to them will be easy.

It is quite common in the states, I know in the south and in Texas very common. Some people complain about it coming across as being too familiar, but I am another one that finds it to be light and fun, things do not always have to be so serious with me.

My wife was southern and it was very normal for her (and her family).

This lady at the pharmacy was being really weird. She was talking to this guy who appeared to be Indian, and she was telling him how much she loves Indian people, how they're always really nice and smart, and then she asked him if he was a doctor. He said no and went to say something else, but the lady kept going like, "Oh, but I bet you could be. Are you going to be a doctor?" And he said, "No, I didn't even go to college." It was just kind of awkward. I know she thought she was being nice, but even positive stereotypes can be harmful.

 

[Shelly]

The best thing about living alone is that there are no problems unlike when I was living with my brothers not a second goes by that there’s a problem.

Which made me realize that 99% of all the problems in my life are caused by them, and now that I’m alone I am at peace.

Really good..

...just typed up two paragraphs. And lost them. Again.

I need to get in the habit of copy-pasting what I write-up into a .txt file first.

A thinking of how sweet death will be when it finally comes. No more pain and suffering. No more living in a crazy, messed up, unforgiving world.

We can all hope for the moments of death to give us that, at least.

Death cannot come soon enough for me. Just wish I had the courage to do it myself.
