Agreed. Except, don't have kids with the crazy bitch.

Exactly what I needed to see at the moment. Going on a date with a gorgeous woman tonight, so naturally, I feel nervous along with some doubt.

This reminds me of a quote from the Bloody Nine-fingers in Joe Abercrombie’s novels: “it’s better to do it, than live with the fear of it”. Helped me out through the years.

Worst thing ever, when you know that it's won't work but you continue your adventure to see how stupid you are

Interviewed for a job earlier this week that I believe I am pretty under qualified for. It was a panel interview in front of 8 people. I killed it.

Regardless if I get it or not I am so proud of myself for even attempting. Was a big confidence booster.

I was just starting to second guess myself on a decision. Thank you for this.

Living a safe predictable life will get you just that. I have failed at many things in my life and those safe people like to bring it up but i respond by saying at-least I tried thats more than you have done.

Exactly what I need right now. I just started a medical youtube channel and I feel extremely excited but also full of fear. Everyone is going to critique me but... Fuck it.

For people in toxic relationships, this is not the sign you're looking for telling you to stay. Get out.

Tried that and unwittingly got into a toxic relationship that took a few years to escape from. Since then not trusting my gut anymore, even if it prevents any good from happening.

Hey friend, I also had an "aim high" interview this week. Also killed it. And then I had to crank out two projects for them in an unreasonably short amount of time (48 hours). Instead of trying to manage my stress and trying to be creative with 8 beers and then ambien at the end of the night, I made a plan in my head, did the work as best I could, had a little creative magic happen and turned in something I was reasonably proud of.

Good luck to you! Let us know if you wind up getting the job.

Or it’ll be super traumatizing but people will just keep on telling you you gotta do it and you’ll just retraumatize yourself again and again because people would rather believe positive bullshit than actually feel compassion.

What if it isn't working out, seeing if it does is like sitting by someone's deathbed and watching their breathing grow weaker until they draw their last breath.

Poland was actually surprisingly beautiful. They have lots of great nature spaces even in the city parks. There are definitely downsides and the cultural sadness is weird to get used to, but it’s still an adventure and we should always think carefully before saying no to adventure.

Which city would you move to?

CausticSofa t1_iw3i4q5 wrote

Thank you. This is helping me reframe my last relationship, which I’ve been looking back on lately with deep regret. At least I had a huge adventure; maybe he was always just meant to be my wheelman.

If you do, then you NEED to go the polish markets and buy loads of cheap cherries and other berries, also, you have to try different pickles fresh from the market. They are lovely! And much better than the trashy store bought ones.
I never actually dared buy normal storebought ones, because i have heard such bad about them. I only buy pickles from store if they are polish, and the polish cashier recommend them.

Kind of, but I married her 15 years ago. She wants to go back for a few years which is cool but I'm very concerned she's going to stay...with the kids. Legally I'm screwed if..., but maybe it'll work out and be a great adventure.

Torun was my favorite place but it's getting busy with tourists, Zakopane also. Weiliczka salt mine was incredible! I have noticed the cultural sadness too. I worry my kids might catch that but for now they are excited to be there. I am an adventurous kind so I appreciate your words! We'll be just east of Warsaw.
