  • I was selling an Xbox one and a dude got in touch with asking if he could trade something for it. I can’t remember what it was but I think it was slightly worth less than what I was selling for so I offered a deal. Give me this plus $100 and the Xbox is yours. He agreed so I traveled about an hour to meet him at a train station and met up with him.

    I give him the Xbox and he gives me the thing and looks me dead in the eye and says “Well, where’s my $100?”

    I don’t know how people can be like that. It baffles me. Needless to say, I just settled the deal with what he gave me since I just wanted that Xbox gone.



  • I have an aunt who I knew drank a lot but I never personally experienced anything other than the occasional late night “Love you soooo much!!!” when she’d be drinking. She is single with two kids who I get along with nicely and I’ve always wondered why she was single. Then I saw that I got the clean end of a really long stick of shit. She’d text her sisters, my other aunts, telling them they were dead to her, her kids don’t stay home much with her anymore, and she started to tell my mom, who is staying with me, that she should leave. She even tried to attack my sister when she visited me.

    I had no idea. Now, I don’t see much of her anymore.


  • My dream is to one day become that wise old person you climb a mountain top to visit and to have them bestow wisdom upon. You’re not alone, friend. But, taking breaks, even if it’s as short as watching a funny movie, reading a good book, or sitting in a park with some coffee or tea. Pouring out a cup as it’s being filled , even it’s a little bit, will stop it from overflowing.


  • That very interesting. I sort of had a dream similar to your second one. I was driving around the city I went to university in with my parents. I remember everything looked completely normal. As if I wasn’t dreaming. Then, I remember as soon as we started to drive after a stoplight turned green I remember hearing a loud beep. Like a computer or the beep of a microwave. As soon as I heard that everything froze. Like time had stopped. I was looking around and all the vehicles that surrounded us were frozen in my place and so we’re my parents.
















  • In terms of satisfaction? No. In terms of finances? Not sure. By my age, my parents were together, my mom had my sister and my dad became a step father to her, they had a lot of friends and were very popular. Me…not so much in any of those things. But I’m living comfortably in my own apartment, no kids or S.O. so I have a lot of spare cash and a lot of things I like. I don’t know if my parents had the same pleasures as me at this age.
