I always found the webring imageboards to be pretty uncomfy, they seem to be mostly focused on politics.

You either do it or you don't. It's your life to ruin as you see fit.

Has anyone not?!

>how did you manage it
If it's something I need to do once, like getting a job, it helps me to think about how there's never gonna be a 'good' time to do it, and the longer I delay it the rougher it will be. So regardless of how hard it is, I simply must force myself.

If it's something I need to do frequently, like going to work each day, I think forcing it is every single time is gonna be too hard, so it's better to prioritize making it easier. Which is easier said than done.

I used to just have the willpower for it, but it's gone now. I spent years forcing myself to do important things until eventually I snapped and now I can barely force myself to eat or even get out of bed. fells like it'll be this way forever now

I love how Elegant Spreadwing soars through the skies and I love how Red Wood Ant works so hard to support her family and I love Monarch Butterfly's regal presence and I also love that Viceroy Butterfly always tries to dress like Monarch Butterfly but with a small twist to set her apart and I love Marbled Orbweaver Spider's elegant tapestries and I love how Cellar Spider keeps my bathroom safe and I love watching Southern Plains Bumblebee twerk her big fuzzy butt and I love it when Clown Isopod twirls her bright orange skirt and I love getting high off of Deathstalker Scorpion's venom and I love Azure Darner's brightly colored tail and I love how Werneri Isopods' long skirt poofs out over the ground and I love listening to Carolina Mantis' sermons on Sundays and I love Guinea Paper Wasp's elaborate art projects and I love how Hercules Beetle can carry me like a princess and I love Pill Bug's lightly misted woodchip-fragrenced balls and I love Green June Beetle's iridescent shell and I love the songs that Evening Cicada sings for me and I love Black Camel Spider's wide toothy grin and I love Harvestman's long pneumatic legs and I love how Black Saddlebags is always willing to help carry things around and I love Blue Morpho's radiant wings and really,

I guess I just love every single thing about every single one of you…! I love every single one of you from the tops of your antannae to the tips of your thoraxes and I love how Canadian Tiger Swallowtail has a fierce attitude that belies her gracious appearance and I love Seven-spot Ladybird's decorative coat and I love Rosy Maple Moth's vivid complexion and I love watching Leafcutter Ant carry giant sails of vegetation and I love Dogbane Beetle's iridescent cloak and I love how Red Admiral flits about in a commanding pattern and I love licking Rock Honey Bee's sweet sticky feet and I love listening to Atlas Beetle's stories about world travel and I love Great Purple Emperor's bold dress and I love playing tag with Four-spotted Chaser and I love Carmine Skipper's pretty pink body and I love Harlequin Beetle's raunchy jokes and I love listening to the five heartbeats of Common Earthworm and I love drinking Dairy Cow Isopod's breastmilk and I love Yellow Garden Spider's signature zig-zag weaving style and I love sniffing Green Stink Bug's farts and I love Caligo Owl Butterfly's big beautiful eyespots and I love cuddling with Narrow Stingless Bee and I love the way…

You know, I don't think "agape" and this more mystical and spiritual form of love is achieved by simply interacting with people. Historically the kind of people writing of experiences of "agape" and such mysticism were actually quite withdrawn from typical human relationships…

You're clearly putting just mingling with people and being social (in a conventional sense) on a pedestal by equating having friends and relationships with some spiritual experience. Admittedly great friendship can feel otherworldly, I'm sure we've all experienced it, but, realistically, chasing that feeling can only lead to disappointment. If such a thing comes to you, and you're open to it, sure you can have your "glimmer of light" but recognize it most likely came to you by chance, not some act of will and "self transformation".

I think I'm keeping things comfy. Throwing out lines like "An unexamined life is not worth living, an isolated life is not worth having. Don't let the past dominate your present! Future you will thank present you, so start growing, start transforming, and live the rich life God intended for you!" IS uncomfy however. You are making people who are perhaps incapable of helping themselves fall into FOMO.

>>18479
> I think I'm keeping things comfy
I don't think you are. But I do think that it is perfectly forgivable in the context of the discussion. I am somewhat closer to agreeing with your opponent, however.

>>18459
I disagree with some of the theology here but thanks for the prayers sushi roll. We are imperfect but we're not stained by sin and why should we hold agape love higher than romantic or sexual relationships? Can't something be romantic/sexual and still deeply spiritual?

>>18479
>Historically the kind of people writing of experiences of "agape" and such mysticism were actually quite withdrawn from typical human relationships…
Yes and no. It depends on your religious or spiritual tradition. Even Buddhist monks had romantic relationships. Total withdrawal from the world isn't a great idea. That leads to denying your humanity. Like Aristotle said to live alone one must be an animal or a god. Mystics isolate themselves from the world but only for a while. They know they have to come back.

Genuine love involves pain and suffering. Its bittersweet and it hurts. Without that we can't grow. Chaining yourself up to avoid the hurt that comes with human interaction is stunting yourself through lack of courage to face the world. God didn't put that heart in your chest so you'd never use it. Fear of pain is probably why so many people lock themselves away and we're validated by a culture that says its okay to run away from hurt or that weakness is a bad thing.

Touch starvation is real. Hug somebody you love.

>>18472
i wish i could hug someone

>>18473
I will hug my pillow imagining its you.

Pronunciation-wise? Yes, it should be. It's an example of rendaku.
Spelling-wise? Not necessarily. For comparison, in the Hen Zemi OVA ED they clearly spell 変ゼミ as H-E-N S-E-M-I.

I got a puppy! He's been amazing so far and is a really quick learner, I love him

Well, I'm 20 now

Let's see, I think over the past year I've had 3 exes, am currently dating someone for money who I've nicknamed "Flour", and am having an affair with three other people who I've all nicknamed "Flower". I'm currently rather depressed because I can't afford SRS (sexual reassignment surgery), but hopefully things turn around for the better soon. If you want to be friends with me or harass me, you can send a friend request on discord to "recima", or you can stop by https://brainworm.surgery where i may or may not be around. Anyways, I hope that all of you are doing better than me. Take care all <3

And then BOOM

Having the window open while it's raining, so I can hear it.

Being able to snuggle in a cozy blanket on a winter night

The comfort of my home and it's scenery, especially on a bright night. Also, solitary peace.

I love liminal spaces <3

What are some cool abandoned places to explore or that you have discovered?

>>18476
not that sushi but here's an old gutted 60's radar station that I hiked to once

Wood Sorrel is flowering. According to Maomao, this plant has medicinal properties.

There are quite a few places all across America like this, old or historic locations turned into "museums" where they keep them more or less in explorable but dilapidated states.
Many places billed as "ghost hunter" locales are like this. I'm too much of a pansy to just go into multi-story unexplored abandoned buildings by myself. Urban exploration is notoriously dangerous, especially for amateurs. One wrong step and you can go plummeting somewhere with thousands of pounds of bricks on top of you, no thanks.
That said I'd love to start doing this more regularly. Apparently there are photography tours of these sorts of places on occasion. I've actually only been to a few places like this before, though I do take a lot of photographs.
A dream of mine is to explore the winchester mystery house alone. It seems like it'd feel almost exactly like being in one of my dreams. I have many labyrinths going on in those.

Here's another neat place, a burnt-down mansion billed as a "self guided museum", from before I got my neat new camera.

If you are going to be homeless for a while I wouldn't put your primary focus on food. Shelters and churches are very generous and many people tend to gain weight while sleeping rough. That said shelters aren't very pleasant places to stay.

If it is short-term innawoods for a few weeks solid fuel as >>11696 said is a good idea, I'd also recommend wood gas stoves. Much more efficient and produces almost no smoke compared to campfires/conventional wood stoves, a Silverfire is around $30. Do get a concealment cover for your tent, getting harassed by cops and rude people are going to be something you have to deal with.

Good luck sushi.

Reimu has seen better days

You can make it…

A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.

While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.

“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”

He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.

Be sure you've got some money in a savings account. Getting out of poverty is very difficult (by design).
