What Are You Thinking Of Right Now?

So people just gave up and we became a society of hermits... Except for those that didn't.
I have a lot of thoughts about your situation and we may have some similarities, but I'm not very good at putting them into words (it takes me a long time to write a post more that one or two lines.) I think what you are going thru is pretty normal. Some of my "old friends" drifted away after I got married, and even more after we had kids. I think a lot of them just didn't enjoy hearing about or be around someone else's kids. What may not be normal is the way you're processing it. You seem to have a "big" personality, and possibly some RSD. Being a SAHD has got to really magnify that situation... I certainly couldn't do what you are doing. It is fucking infuriating when people say "just get over it"... especially those with zero experience. :mad After all, if someone could process something normally and logically, then they wouldn't be struggling, would they? But it will ultimately be up to you to find your way thru it. I wish I could help more, but at least know you aren't the only one to ever feel what you're feeling.
Btw, you're a very good writer. You're posts have a lot of feeling. I wish I could write like that.
 
My dad once told me "Grow up! Friends are for women and children!" :laughing

I have a very old friend coming by today to visit with me. We haven’t connected in more than 20 years. And that doesn’t bother me. I know I’ve been involved with my life, and he, his. We will sit on my front porch, drink Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and tell each other of our lives since we last talked. I’m looking forward to his visit.
 
I'm thinking:

Respect is a funny thing. There are folks I don't particularly mesh with well, yet I respect the living hell out of them. This makes me wondere if the edges on buried hatchets stay sharp or do they dull with time?
 
I was thinking about my time in the hospital after reading about Brokenlink wife’s situation.
Sending get well wishes and few thoughts, strength for both of them in long road to recovery.❤️‍🩹

Will I Be OK?
Broken bones, surgery ahead.
Will I be OK?
Will this pain ever stop?
Why did it happen?
What’s next?
Will this night ever end?
I appreciate the people who care about me.
They mean more than they’ll ever know.
Still in the hospital.
Still hurts.
So much uncertainty.
Still asking:
Will I be OK?
What’s life gonna be like?
Ten weeks, more doctor visits.
It’s slow, but I’m getting better.
Still wondering.
Still grateful.
Nine months of therapy.
I feel better now.
Almost behind me.
The next steps of my life await.
After all I’ve been through
I’m gonna be OK.

I am thinking I have motorcycle stories for days. There was a gent I have seen a few times at dinner. He had a few pops and just wanted to hear crazy motorcycle stories.

I lit him up for more than a half hour and only hit 5% at most :laughing
 
Dude, I have the exact same issues. I bought this cool ranch in the sticks. I thought my friends would want to come up and hang out. I brew beer, I grow weed.

Nobody came. Nobody ever comes. It's just society man.

Where? We, after years of trying, actually found time to visit BARFers in the sticks, ie, theSierra foothills. Big fun.
 
I’m in the Placerville area. There are some amazing roads up here. I could ride out my front gate and ride all day without ever hitting a stoplight. Now I just need to get off my ass and by a motorcycle again. I think when this shit is done, I’m going to buy one and ride.
 
All week I have been thinking Circumcision thread. Is it necessary?


To me a total :facepalm :wtf Really?
