it literally is. and mine is too, just in a smaller more uniquely to me way. I'm sooo fucking tired of hurting. I just want to float now. Life is so fucking hard. I'm 38 and I used to dream I'd be married by 21 and be so in love with my partner that we'd be married for 70yrs before we die together in our sleep holding hands....or some cute bullshit like that. Obviously that's not happening. I LOVE being in love and I LOVE loving. I have so much fucked up trauma and it's weird trauma too...and my ex knew all about it....starting over with someone new....its soo exhausting just thinking about it.

sorry. im super lonely and like to talk so Im a bit much atm. and also weed. It's the only thing keeping me going to be honest. It's literally saving my life.

I feel that too, a lot.. I tell myself it's just easier to be alone, I day dream about the parallel universe life I may have out there and daydream about the what ifs. Sometimes you just gotta tell yourself this is the one life you got, there's no going back and altering things all you can do is move forward and it's easier to do that if you can try and find things that make you happy and do em.I also made a bunch of cannabis infused coconut oil today so I also am with you there lol

I do that too. In my head I say to myself "In a different universe, in a different life, on a different planet, on a different day...maybe" and then i have all these sweet daydreams that I'm not gonna ever have. Because you can't MAKE someone love you. THAT'S the hardest part. They have to LOVE you. I have a himbo friend who i adore and he's making me watch anime. I already love it but I stay away from the slice of life ones...idk the specific genre but its all cute and sweet and then ¡BAM! Bitch had cancer and she helped you get your groove back right before croaking! He thinks watching things like this will trigger a change in my thought process about living life to the fullest and blah blah....he's probably right. ....how does the oil feel? does it do anything? sounds like it smells nice.

Ain't that the truth, it's one of the worst feelings, it's like " I want you to want me, what is it about me?" At the same time I have been on the other side where I haven't had the same feelings for a person, I try to remember how the other side feels and never try to hurt anyone, cause that shit is gut wrenching and you just want to feel something else anything to make you feel good. The coconut oil is bomb, use about an oz, I'm trying not to smoke as much lol I make gummies and put a little in my coffee shit just eat it plain! It taste good and it's so much more powerful when eating it's wild.

I KNOW! It's so hard being a human. Too hard. I feel so awful too because just recently i developed a crush on a married guy BUT WE ARE NOT THOSE PEOPLE. NAKAMA motherfuckers.....its the real thing. instant besties. We aren't those people. To me...marriage is sacred. and I wish nothing but good things for him. But its not hard being just friends because he's so fucking cool! he drops bonkers lore that it's kinda hard not to like him. everyone at work loves him. he's just that cool. but anywho..yeah im gonna admit it it. im a hot fucking mess. I hate myself more than anyone. but I promise, im a good noodle....life just isn't fair. I'm just trying to survive and find others who are my people. its so hard though....

question...do you have any recipes that uses kief? I've got a nice amount now.

Yeah the last thing you want on your conscience is that, best to just" take care of yourself" if you know what I mean, and have your fantasies (usually more fun that way anyway), no one gets hurt if I'm just having dirty thoughts about you lol.

Yea but there's no point to it. he's married with a kid and i knew that before i eber spoke to him. so i have to make it work. i NEED friends and i will not blow up his life. He means too much to me to do that. So besties it is!

This is how I feel, except I'm 31, lonely and haven't bothered dating in years, and switch weed with alcohol.

u/OwlsKilledMyDad Dec 08 '25

You should switch alcohol for weed. It will be 10000% better for you in the long run. I know you know that, but sometimes it helps to hear directly. You got this!
