Great resource for sustainable living ideas. He takes it the extreme and has done some interesting experiments such as wearing all the trash he created and forraging/growing 100% of his food for a year. Although we don't all need to live as minimally as he does, it is inspiring and gives ideas for how we can always strive to consume more mindfully.

@impulse9 nope, you don't have to play along. This is one site on the internet. I didn't mean to upset you and I see how my criticisms came across that way. You're making a bunch of assumptions about people on this forum. Idk what you're trying to get out of arguing vaccines here but that's your choice and I think you should know that it doesn't help the case.

@impulse9 I'm not asking you compromise your integrity. Making those comments in a space that has made itself clear on the stance of vaccines comes across as foolish. Pictures of quotes, insults and swearing do not come across as intelligent. You are allowed disagreement but that doesn't mean you will be changing minds with it.

@impulse9 Until you've put in as much work as Leo has maybe keep comments like that to reddit.

I had the idea to post some entries from my physical journal I write in.

"Alright self, we have some depression news: you have been lying to yourself for your whole life. You have been telling yourself that you're so cool, that you are so smart and have so many talents, that you are better and more unique than everyone else. And guess what, that is a total farce. I feel like I'm starting all over again. The Sarah that existed just a few months ago, she is gone. I don't really identify with that Sarah anymore. I don't know who I am anymore. Of course, there are aspects that I identify with but overall I'm having a bit of an existential crisis. It's almost like I'm no longer the same person. It's that drastic. I guess maybe I need to mourn that? I'm worried that I'm not doing enough. But I'm having to totally reinvent myself. I still have the same hopes, dreams, desires, but I'm different, I'm definitely different. And I'm frustrated with myself for not being there yet, the person I want to be. My mind keeps fluttering to all these different things I want to do and I get so disappointed when I don't do them. But I'm really learning the importance of being gentle with myself during this process. I'm remembering that I'm really like a baby in this process, and that I truly just need kindness, patience and love while I find my footing."

"Little Ayahuasca Lessons ~ You're doing a really good job, Sarah ~ It's not going to be pretty ~ Choose yourself over and over again, Sarah ~ You don't have to do it all at once"

"I love myself. I feel more like myself every day. I want to be and become myself every day. I don't want to be uninspired. But if I am I feel like I can handle it. I just want to be myself. And I think there are certain, absolutely, things that you can do. That you can learn from others. But you are still yourself, a sovereign human. Keep up the good work. You are doing great <3"

Somatic Experiencing has worked wonders for me.

I love you too

The feminine and masculine thing is real. I just think you're taking stories on here out of context and overthinking it. If it causes you pain, forget it. Its not supposed to do that. If anything, society programs women to be masculine so cultivating polarity in relationships is going against that programming. Check out Madelyn Moon at maddymoon.com. She has amazing resources to begin learning more about embodying your femininity.

Of course, you can ask a guy out if you want to but where's the fun in that? If you are interested in a man, invoke him to ask you out

Use a bidet? If not, you can use small towels and water from the sink for your bum. But you have to wash the towels often and have a safe disposal area.

I think that's normal. I've agreed to dates with men only to text them later and cancel. Things that would make me cancel: #1 they're boring or weird. #2 they're ugly.

@ertopolice reflect on why you're being needy. Are you fulfilling your own needs and taking care of yourself?

You take care of yourself, but you don't sound like you have confidence. Also, don't be too hard on yourself. Online it's so much easier to ghost people. Feel the pain and then let it go. There will be others. Work on yourself more.

@Loba Hahahaha....that's not real love

@ertopolice I wouldn't say way too intellectual, more that the softer sides to you aren't showing.

@ertopolice I beg to differ, you can be flirty and sweet via text. Of course, not too flirty, but I think you're holding back a little. Feel into yourself and express! Talking about philosophical stuff is not the way to do it. That has its place but if all your conversations have been like that, no wonder he hasn't asked you out!

@ertopolice invite him to ask you out by being cute, sweet and flirty. Drop into your feelings and sensations, your femininity. If he still doesn't ask you out move on, no sense in dating a guy who is clueless.

Yes

Feminine energy is connected to love, yes. But I think that after the initial first couple dates, it will be an intertwining energy, not so much one person contacting more than the other.

@fopylo yea! Because I was sitting still and one of the aspects of the feminine is movement so, while being in stillness, I was being in my masculine. Not a bad thing to do per se, but it was not producing results that were as enjoyable for me as being in motion.

Emotional closeness

Yay I love to hear this feedback, thank you
