Almost forgot my own thread today lol

  1. I’d hate to lose the ability to listen to music. I often use it to make me feel what I need to feel in the moment so I can process things.

  2. I’d hate to lose my bike. I haven’t been able to use it for 4 weeks and boy did I feel tied to my home. I got it back today and felt so much freedom!

I would definitely have no way through my brain without music. Anything in particular? :musical_note:

Anything with a good bass guitar, guitar solo, and powerful lyrics, honestly :slight_smile:

Good mornafterneve!

  1. I would hate to lose my sleep/wake rhythm. At first I disliked waking up around 8am but it really does give a lot of benefits.

  2. I would hate to lose my plushies. Most of them I either bought during a happy memory or were given to me by important people in my life.

Same. Currently rocking a Emo/hardcore playlist I made to keep me pushing. I’ve also been on another Gemini Syndrome kick. I could talk music and lyrics for days :metal: :black_heart: :musical_note:

Emo/punk rock and symphonic metal have a special place in my heart tbh!

Do you know Immenence? He screams WHILE strumming his violin beautifully. Not to mention the guitarist and drummer’s talents are insane. They are just not breaking out but I found them in the beginning

I’d hate to lose this plushie. My best friend made it and I fell in love with it so he gave it to me during a time of heavy stress. It’s a reminder for me that good people exist.

  1. I would hate to lose my weighted blanket. It brings me so much peace when I am overwhelmed. Brain science is weird :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

  2. I’d hate to live in a different country. Despite the political and overall financial dumpster fires, my country’s health care system is pretty good and as a person with a chronic illness I can live somewhat comfortably, knowing the help I can get is decent.

I’d hate to:

  1. Loose my health, get sick and take pills
  2. Not finding a woman of my life, be without a partner, no relationship

I’ve been away for a bit because I have had a few mentally bad days/weeks and just wanted some time to myself.

What I would hate to lose is the relationship I am currently building with my niece and nephew. They are 2,5 and almost 1 year old and I’m finally getting to a point where I can be an uncle for them.

I would hate to lose my ability to write as it’s my main form of expression.

I would hate to lose my phone because it is one of the few ways I can contact my little sister. She means the absolute world to me.

I would hate to lose my father. He’s been trying really hard to accept me as his son and it makes me feel wanted, which I didn’t before.

I do not want to lose this battle. I fought so hard to get where I am today. I didn’t come this far to only come this far.
