Life n Stuff I 2023

By Daz Go To PostAnyone here ever just dropped everything and made a huge detour in their lives?

How did you do it and what happened?

I'll let you know when/if I finally pull the trigger on quitting the UK for the KKTC.

By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostI gave up doing my Legal Practice Course and moved to Korea from London. From decision to moving was around two months.

Was the best thing I ever did.

Had many ups and downs here, but really feel I am being the best version of myself. I am appreciated at work and I am good at what I do. Good personal life balance as well.

thats amazing, Shanks (tears up)

In a similar boat - but I dont know what to do next.

I do know, I can't continue my current path - its fucking killing my soul.

i just don't know what else i can do that wouldn't require me to go back to school for years.

I'm slowly increasing my yoga teaching but not ready to quit my corporate gig just yet.

By DiPro Go To Posti just don't know what else i can do that wouldn't require me to go back to school for years.

This is how I feel, I think.

I really want to b a civil engineer or architect but the idea of going back to school in this economy and affordability crisis is really preventing me.

Do it slowly, plan evenings doing it but obviously not every night to get you exhausted.

Decided I wanted to move to San Francisco to jumpstart my career into the next phase and within a month I was roadtripping down the west coast with whatever I could fit into my two door coupe. Spent 7 years in San Francisco which included a bunch of crazy story phases but eventually ended with finding my future wife and then moving to NYC.

Point of the story, you'd be surprised how quickly you can make change once you make up your mind.

What if you have a mortgage?

For real tho, youre making sense - I have been in a mindcage for so long - I have hung my hopes and future on this one lane for so long, i can't see beyond it.

It looking like things won't work out and 5 years is about to be flushed and it is terrifying and I just want to check out.

Rent it out?

Daz the landlord

Just because you feel tied down doesn't mean you can't change.

Sell your property and spend the proceeds on a VW camper van

Sky legit looks like this

It’s so bad. Think it’s worse than yesterday.

Supposed to persist until the end of the weekend. Need some rain badly.

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostSky legit looks like this

Im glad it's no longer just tech companies wanting to imitate dystopian sci fi

Looks like Breaking Bad Mexico scenes

the sky looking wild, ruined my day!

I think the SF and Oregon fires in 2020 were worse since I was closer to them at the time. They lasted weeks on end, too.

By Batong Go To PostJust because you feel tied down doesn't mean you can't change.

My mom fractured her ankle today... sigh

By Rob Go To PostLooks like Breaking Bad Mexico scenes

how it looks now for you? looks like it cleared out now here.

It’s clearing up a bit here. Still slightly yellow tint but the smell of smoke still lingering

It's hazy even down in DC

By DY_nasty Go To PostIt's hazy even down in DC

You doing alright bro?

im good. getting myself back into shape is a bigger challenge than i expected but other than that i'm probably better than i've been in ages

Glad to hear man

AQI at 158 here it's crazy.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostGlad to hear man

👍

Spotted some girls having a coffee with their dogs near the entrance to RFK inside Flushing Corona Park and was just flabbergasted. No time for a picnic.

I posted a pic of Equinox idiots doing yoga on an open air rooftop with the smoke having ten feet of visibility in the poli thread. Just braindead.

People didn’t care about a disease that killed millions you think they care about a different color sky

Rare chance for an aesthetic moment is worth the risk to them

Got the San Andreas filter on

Bunch of people about to have some awful headaches later and be confused about why.

I mean if you have no means of filtration in your home are you protected from bad air indoors?

It will help atleast a bit?
Suprised people aren't selling old covid masks with a 500% markup.

old 😂 Still wear mines.
It might help but some places are nasty af before the fires. Trying to duck bad air is tough

I can't keep waking up feeling like this 😔

Life is too short.

I took my doggo to the park and he scared all the dogs with his crackhead energy lmaooo. Dude is just happy to be alive. Like me! I genuinely wake up every morning happy despite many things, because hey I'm still here too🌈

The stray cat that snuck in the other week is now bringing me dead rats. Dont make me adopt you too sweet baby😭

The adoption has already taken place, the cat is just giving you time to adjust.

I just want peace of mind ☹️

And to not feel like I have a supermassive black hole in the middle of my chest 🥲

Happy for all of you in a good place. I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy.

same my dude

I probably would've gone crazy if I was still committed to one of the life paths I'd set myself on. Leaving those rails ain't easy but goddamn if it ain't liberating.

Also being homeless and couch surfing for a few weeks wasn't that bad tbh 😂

By Daz Go To Postthats amazing, Shanks (tears up)

Thanks for your kind words.

I don’t know what your going through, but you are obviously not in a good place right now.

Just know that what ever decisions you have made up until now doesn’t mean you have to stay with them for the rest of your life.

It might sound corny, but you have yet to write your future. Maybe you have invested heavily into it at this point, but try to look at it as those investments have led you to this point where you know you need to make a change.

When I decided to move out here, I kinda felt at first like I had wasted four years of my life going down a path that I will not use in the future. But then I decided to look at the positives. If I didn’t go to university then I couldn’t have come to Korea. And it was while I was at university that I first learnt about teaching out here.

So while now my degree has nothing to do with my work, it put me in a place where I am happy to be.

Recognising that you need a change is always an incredible first step. So many people just continue to go on with that hole in them and never address it.

Now you can start to look at ways to change your situation.

Great thing about this place is that it is full of people who are willing to share and help.

Always here for you.

Fr guys. Vent MORE

I don't know how to vent. I just keep it all bottled up and let it make the situation worse. Like a real man does.

Just remember, it took Orson Welles until he was like 50 to make Citizen Kane. There's still time.

That must be true as he did look quite old as Citizen Kane.

"Crash diets, [pharmaceutical] drugs, and corsets had slimmed him for his early film roles", wrote biographer Barton Whaley. "Then always back to gargantuan consumption of high-caloric food and booze. By summer 1949, when he was 34, his weight had crept up to a stout 230 pounds (100 kg). In 1953, he ballooned from 250 to 275 pounds (113 to 125 kilograms). After 1960, he remained permanently obese."[184]: 329

Something to aspire to.
