Kid has an ear for it. He's like me and doesn't read music but can pick it up easily.
Bought him an acoustic/electric for Christmas and he hasn't stopped his desire to learn.
Love seeing the kids follow their passions.
Maybe something more like these cats? π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈππππ€π€

Oof, you can disagree with me all ya' want, but I speak from experience. You don't treat yourself like trash unless you feel that way about yourself. If you can't love yourself, you can't expect nor believe when others DON'T treat you that way.
I think that "treat themselves like trash" is a very subjective statement, and entirely derived by the person judging their actions.
Some people may feel that a person who has multiple partners is trashy - when to that person it's a conscious choice to enjoy their company and comes from a place of strong confidence in what they want.
Other people may enjoy a lot of junk food, and others may say that not eating clean means you don't value your body.
I do agree that if a person truly feels they have no value, then they will not expect others to value them, and they are less likely to act in ways that reflect their inherent value...
But I think one needs to be very careful when trying to assign / label another's persons actions based on a third partie's value system.
All that aside... I do not see what this trail of comments has to do with the original quote. And kind of feel Ike it's hurtful to the poster.
I wasn't talking about assigning the actions of others toward oneself. I was talking about a person literally seeing themselves as "trash" or "garbage" based on extremely low self-esteem. Those people usually do not assign negative intentions to other people, but have a rather hard time believing the genuine feelings and words of others because their own perception and self-worth is so damaged.
Also, welcome to Chit-Chat. Side rails are pretty common here.

Oh, I am well acquainted with chit chat (not my first incarnation here). Usually there is SOME kind of relevance to the OP. I didn't see any, and wondered whether what the correlation (however small) could be, or if the quote on her post was accidental.
When I first read your response, my instant reaction was "is she talking about the OP?" because I felt like the op was sharing something very emotionally profound. I got defensive on her behalf because she has seemed nothing short of amazing, and is someone dealing with serious tar in her life, and handling it admirably (inspirationally).
If there is no correlation, that is good to know and I appreciate the clarification.
Nope, no correlation at all. I am rather fond of (and somewhat defensive of) @Miss_Chievous_ She's good peeps, yo.

Simple stuff like how I am sad that coffee does not provide me with energy benefits. Same with exercise. I get no discernible benefit from it outside of calorie burn.
I just want to be not tired all the time. Is that so much to ask?3 -
I've been thinking about journaling. I don't have an outlet to get my thoughts out and I'm thinking maybe writing them down will help. Maybe I won't feel like everything is weighing me down as much.7

Doing this helped me so much during the time my marriage was falling apart.
I had no one to share with.
It felt so good to write down my feelings and frustrations.
Then he read it........... πΏ3 -

I've journaled since I was about 15, near 30 years. π It helps me to see and make sense of how I'm feeling and get to the real root of a problem. I also like reading back over past journals, seeing how I've progressed, how situations changed, see how I handled things. Also, my memory sucks so it helps me remember events etc π

Thank you Chris! π
I love it too but not when I have to get back to the office........we have showers but not hairdryers to dry my hair.......
Went out and ran for 30 minutes and wasnβt too bad, just a very light shower on the way back π
I'm pretty fortunate.....I work less than a 1/2 mile from the local Y and am a member, so I go run when I work in the city and then go clean up there. π Have a great weekend!0 -

While this is cool (I seriously think it's awesome that y'all can commit to writing down your thoughts atm and work through things), I would end up burning my journals once I looked back and realized how immature, awful or whiny I think I am/sound.
I did the same thing with old art journals. Tons and tons of years just.. burned. Because they made me hate myself more than I already did.
But awesome that it works for y'all. 5 -

OMG. I burn them too.
For slightly different reasons1 -
@KosmosKitten just a thought but - maybe you need more alkaline food intake? the irony of caffeine is that itβs acidic and can disrupt the acid/alkalinity ph balance in our bodies. Also - maybe not all will agree with this but - quality and freshness of the coffee is important and a good upmarket coffee will give much better energy benefits than some cheap or instant coffee
No clue. I've never heard of this before. I drink coffee for taste (with a little creamer), but that's about all I consume with caffeine in it these days as my soda is sugar free/caffeine free and most of the teas I drink are nominally caffeinated.
Also, I love a freshly ground cup of joe. The smell is the best. I've been enjoying this Coffee Trade subscription I signed up for. They send me freshly ground coffee (or I can get whole beans or whatever I need for however I make coffee) from places all over the country. Different varieties, flavors and roasts. Been nice. My house now smells like a coffee shop. 1
