Seems like a better way would be to provide a piece of purple ribbon, or a rainbow of colors, with a safety pin. Those who wanted to, could wear it, those who didn’t, wouldn’t. I’m sorry there was such poor participation, for all the different reasons
It might be at your young age, students are scared to state their opinions, which as you say, is very sad.
It’s a start in any case.

They handed out wristbands, which a few people were wearing. But I was one of the few boys who was wearing them. I hate the taboos on middle school. Especially Christian schools. “GoD sAyS tHaT bEiNg GaY iS wRoNg”. First off, I’m pretty sure that the context in which that is said in the Bible is very important. Secondly the Bible also says that he who is without sin should cast the first stone, so you shouldn’t judge. Third off, shut the f up with your toxic Christianity grrr.
I dislike people being treated inhumane…

Time to try again. This time I’ll try a new approach. Abstinence from TV never worked. If I visit someone and they have their TV on. Im not gonna ask them to turn it off. And if I don’t treat it like the forbidden fruit, I’ll be less tempted to watch in the first place. But when I did watch TV when abstaining, my head would tell me I’d relapsed anyway, so whats the big problem with watching “some” more tv at home?
From now on I’m allowed to watch TV when visiting others. At home I will abstain. Not only from TV, but from all sorts of electrical visual stimuli. So no YouTube or social media either.
Podcasts are allowed though as they don’t take up all of my senses, hence blocking my mind less.

I was just wondering what your therapist suggested you. It must be hard. I mean I know behavioural addictions as well. We have to moderate and it’s hard.

They suggest planning screen time. That’s simply not gonna work. It’ll simply allow me to abuse with permission

Hey You… just got back on and happy to see your still here and sharing. I believe in you
Time to dust of this thread, otherwise I’ll be spamming the daily check-in 
I am so conflicted. Work was great today. I really enjoyed it. And I heard my store manager might be moved to another store. But I quit! For very good reasons! Yet I’m regretting it. Especially now that the main reason for quitting, my store manager, might be taken out of the equation. And the assistant store manager has realised I’m useful and fun when I’m not an overworked wreck, so we’re joking around a ton. And I’m coming back out of my shell again also.
So conflicted!!! Ugh…

My head needs severe stimulation. I’m not used to life being so dull. I’m low-key going mad! Not really though. I just need attention 
Or at least some interaction with people who have the capacity to critically think unlike my dad…
But I’ve got the top 4000 on in the background and it’s nearing its finish which makes for some good background noise. But it also hurts my ego since I only know half the songs in the top 50 despite the fact I take pride in how many songs I know, especially from the 20th century 
Upside to that is that there’s still a lot of great music out there I’ve yet to discover

I like your new premium badge Jan! I’m more a top 2000 man so will start listening tomorrow morning. But now listening to the top 4000 together with you. Stairway to heaven is on now… This used to be in the top 5 for years of the then top 100 of all times back around 1980… Thanks for the nostalgia friend.

Stairway to heaven is truly captivating. Unlike garbage like Ronnie Flex…
I don’t really have a preference for a top list, I just enjoy listening to something different than the usual top 40 crap. So I too will be listening to the top 2000
What time does it start?

Been awake since 6 am. I just want to sleep in 
I haven’t slept past 6 am since last week Saturday. I hate having a healthy sleep routine. It’s torture. I feel like a little kid, but without the joy or energy when waking up.
I miss waking up around noon.
I miss almost being late to morning appointments because I can’t get out of bed.
I miss being groggy all day.
I miss the disorientation you get when waking around 15/3 pm.
I miss not lying awake for a few hours in the morning because you don’t want to wake anyone.
Fuck this healthy shit. I’m sick and… ehm… not tired… Anyone know an antonym of tired that rolls of the tongue? Sick and awake just doesn’t sound right…
I miss sleeping in 
You know what, fuck my dad. He has completely fucked me up mentally through abusing me until the age of fifteen. My retaliation will be in equal measure!!! I will not care about possibly waking him up! Oh revenge, how sweet can thy be?

Sounds annoying
I slept past 6 am 
I woke up 8 am, still kinda tired. I’m debating what time I should get to work. I’ll probably go 9 am, but I don’t want to go to work.
It’s double pay though since it’s second Christmas day which is complete and utter commercial bullshit. But it’s a holiday, so if I manage to work all day, that will make me almost €200!
Off to work it is.
