It could just be a way to get the thoughts out. She can very much know and understand that they are just intrusive thoughts but that doesn’t make it any easier.
My so oftentimes doesn’t really understand that there’s not a good reason for them. They just are. And one can point to different reasons to someone such as yourself to try to explain or rationalize a bit.
She could be wanting to do the hiking and games nights and stuff to escape from her head too. Sometimes you need a distraction and she may be looking forward to them too.
Personally if I have things in my life to focus on and think about then the intrusive thoughts dwindle a bit. But either you get used to them or you don’t.
Music might not be your thing but have a listen or just read the lyrics to Fine Again by Seether. They really resonate with me and may help you understand a little better what she might be going through. Especially your comments about how she seems totally fine.
everyday's the same
and I'm left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
and there's no color to behold
They say it's over and I'm fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober, feels like I'm dyin', here
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire
and there's no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
'cause I can't seem to get this through
You say it's over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I'm dyin', here?
And I am aware now of how
everything's gonna be fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now,
seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
And I'm not scared now.
I must assure you,
you're never gonna get away
And I'm not scared now.
And I'm not scared now, No..
I am aware now of how
everything's gonna fine one day
Too late, I'm in hell
I am prepared now
seems eveyone's gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now,
seems eveything's gonna be fine for me
For me; for myself
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am pepared now for myself
I am prepared now, and I am found... again
I feel like there are a lot less funny comments on memes but genuine questions get a lot of engagement. I’ve been here for a few years and it’s nice. Stick with it you’ll find communities you enjoy and get in the habit of blocking communities you don’t and it’ll be great!
Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye open for a used ninja too - I know they’re a great first bike. I do worry buying used that it wasn’t taken care of and it’ll bite me in a month or two. I’m very particular with taking care of my machines. That’s why I’m leaning more towards buying a new cheaper brand like cfmoto.
Did you ever feel the 400 was sluggish or underpowered? I plan to use it for general commuting occasionally but mostly joyriding in the country and maybe a track visit or two when I’m really comfortable on it.
No real experience with moto. Just lots of mountain biking so I’m pretty comfortable on two wheels.
Definitely taking the riders course 100% I was hoping to bring my own bike to it to learn directly on it instead of a different type bike that they would provide.
It sucks being a slave to this wholly broken system. Admittedly the system is only broken from our perspective. In theirs it’s working exactly as intended. The classes won’t be too bad I hope. Wishing you well :)
China needs to do a fast track immigration program for Americans asap. I’m sure they would pick up a lot of the brain drain and skyrocket way ahead of the other “superpowers”.
I feel that way about everything low calorie or “healthier” when they add the fucking fake sugar. I wish they’d just make things less sweet instead of fakely sweet with chemical aftertaste. It drives me crazy. The powers of this shithole country seem to want everyone addicted to sugar/sweetness.
My 24yr old truck has no idea what even a CD is and I like it like that. I think for sure there will be a market for dumb cars at some point similar to the way dumb tvs are making a (very small) comeback. I honestly don’t see the reason the car needs any of that when I can slap my phone up on the dash and it can handle all the navigation and music etc.
Mine too not even sure why but glad to part of the club
Adding to this: the lighting work was fantastic. Lots of darkness and silhouettes really added to the creepiness.
It sure is, but that’s how it is with all internet acquaintances -right?
Glad to read your ramblings again! I haven’t seen your posts for a while - I hope you’re doing alright. I’m curious about that last line.

Thanks for the advice!
Good to know! I definitely don’t want something way too fast but don’t want to get something that feels slow either. Thank you!

450 would give me extra budget for nicer gear too. Is it just like cars where slow car fast is way more fun?
Is that a quote from the slipknot song or is it also from something else?
Awesome photos!
That is some sweet light. I can never title mine either. To me anything I come up with feels pretentious.

Careful. The hat man is probably watching.
