  • I was against them for years. As a prank, a friend bought me bright yellow ones. I only wore them privately in the house.

    I wore them down after 10 years and finally just replaced them. I have a fancier slipper style pair for when I go to peoples houses. I can’t not wear them now. Buy them. Love them. They’re cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Magical.








  • I agree 2 wks to 2 months was the toughest. I associated drinking with certain activities, and it was weird to do those without drinking. Then, other things i thought would be hard, weren’t. Like parties, family gatherings etc. Thought everyone would say, “hey wheres your drink!”. I think in retrospect i was the only one saying that shit.

    I got pretty good at dealing with hangovers. I have an iron stomach and had a pretty good routine before bed and the next morning to get over it all as fast as possible. Guess that was sign enough it was time to stop.









  • I used it as fuel to make positive changes in my life. Not just breakups, but any time life throws something really awful my way, I try to make an effort to use it as a force good. Breakups, deaths, job loss, etc. Be a better you, quit smoking, get fit, learn a new skill. Things I normally wouldn’t be motivated to follow through, i do.

    Sorry you’re going through this. Try to remember that it will get easier in time. Accept it wasn’t meant to be, and know there’s a version of you in the future, looking back at this knowing it was all worth it to find the person right for you.



  • The first time I picked up a crayon, I used my left hand. My parents were concerned but waited it out. After watching me use my left hand the next few times they decided to convert me.

    I was brought to a special Sunday school service where right is right. They started with drawing, then moved on to writing. Eventually they worked on my instincts, by throwing things at me, at random, to ensure I used the right hand to catch. I was slapped with a yard stick in the knuckles whenever I used the wrong hand.

    Leftiism exists. Parents think they are helping but it’s caused all sorts of problems in my life.
