This week my bike had a flat tire and I was sure it was due to a puncture because it just wasn't holding the air in when I pumped it up. So I took the inner tube out to replace it, checked the tire and tube for signs of punctures and couldn't find any... so I decided to just put the same tube back, pump it up and see how it goes. That was a few days ago, and it's still fully pumped up and sprightly! Superb!

Thank you @WheresMySquishy! I've been really trying to improve my handwriting lately so it makes me really happy that you think it's beautiful <3 And having it as something to look back on is definitely a big point in me writing this! I give this friend little doodles every day we work together and he recently told me he keeps all of them, and looks through them and smiles every now and then and my heart seriously exploded when he told me that So I want to keep giving him more and more things that'll make him smile, it's a really nice feeling knowing I can do that.

That sounds like an incredible lot to be going through @cheesysmile, I'm sorry to hear that life is hard on you right now. It really does make everything harder feeling like you can't tell anyone what's going on and how you're feeling. I can see you're making an effort to start telling people though (eg. telling your parents about your relationship and making this post) and I'm proud of you for it It's hard, especially when some people might be more or less supportive than others, but I think that it's so worth it when you do find supportive people who are happy to listen to you and help you through what you're going through. Do you have a counselor, psychologist or someone in that vein who you can talk to? These are all people who are there specifically to support you with things like this, with a lot of training and experience to help you find a way forward.

I'm digging up this thread again because I want to show you guys what's probably my favourite part of my life right now A few days ago I went for a walk with a work friend after we'd closed up for the day. Lately we've been working together on kinda like a casual project of getting me to open up to him, because we both know that I'm a very private person and I often hold things in too much. When we were saying goodbye, figuring out when we were working together next (a whole week away!) etc he told me to journal my feelings over the week and show it to him if I want to. I told him I loved the idea and I'd surely forget about it, but actually it stuck with me! So I picked up a little notebook on my way home and I've been writing and drawing in it every day. Here's the first couple of pages:

Hi @FunTurtle, I just noticed you posted this here as well as the chit chat threat so I'm reposting my reply so we can talk about it in this thread where it's more relevant I'm sorry to hear that those two aren't being kind to you. I can understand that it's hard to stand up for yourself, especially when this has been going on for a long time. I'm proud of you for trying it! It sounds like your friend from school does care about you, and I'm glad for that. I think @WinterCalvino has a great idea for putting some distance between you and them. Personally, I think you have no obligation to give them two seconds of your time if they won't treat you with respect. Standing up for yourself doesn't have to always be a long speech like what you wrote (although it's great you're able to write out your feelings like that), sometimes it's most effective to just say no, and refuse to get into any argument about whether or not you can say no. You can, and anyone else can complain all they like but if they're upset with you looking out for yourself then that's just too bad for them.

I wish I could tell your mum that she's the one who's being silly for refusing to get you a lock There'd be no harm in it! I hope your things will be safe whatever happens, feel free to let us know if there's any more developments.

I LOVED those magazines when I was growing up! That's another collection I had I guess! For me it was a science magazine, I remember whenever I got the new edition I'd race through the pages, looking for astronomy articles You might have a good eye to spot insect eggs! Most of the bugs that I've kept were a few instars grown already when I found them.

I love your determination @VM-Ash! And I really feel your frustration at job searching, they don't make it easy. It took me 5 years after high school to find a job that ticked even half my boxes - but that doesn't have to be prophecy for you I have no idea if it'd be paid or volunteer or maybe either depending on where you go, but helping schools with their plays/musicals could be a great place to kick off your career! They generally need people to play instruments for a band, to do sound mixing and lights. They might have other roles too, so perhaps you could just call up and ask them if they'd have anything suitable for you.

@SapienOddityI know just how unsettling it can be experiencing things that can be caused by trauma, but not knowing what the cause of them actually was. When I had experiences like that I spent ages racking my brains for what could have possibly gone on in my childhood that could have traumatized me and lead to that, but honestly I think I overthought it! Some of these things I never figured out a root cause for, but as it turns out I was still able to work through them without that. That's not to say that it isn't sometimes the a good thing to explore your past, but I don't think it has to be the solution 100% of the time. I also think that while you're dealing with this it's a good idea to be mindful of if you can currently feel safe during sex, and if so what steps you can take to make sure of that. I'm happy to help you brainstorm around that if you'd like

@ayrc_1904likewise I'm so grateful Victoria got it under control too, I think it's such a remarkable undertaking and a lot of people have come out of it with a better understanding of caring for their community.

Ohoho, now this is a thread I can really be part of! The first things I started collecting and by far the biggest collection I built was Bionicles. Not Hero Factory or Lego in general, but Bionicles specifically. I have all the regular/large pieces sorted by colour, the connector pieces sorted by type and size, and the projectiles sorted by type. I've had to upgrade my storage system three times to accommodate for it all, and the boxes take up a whole bookshelf! Sadly my living space isn't big enough for that collection right now, so I've currently got it stored at my parents' place. Then in primary school I also collected rocks! My primary school had these really cool rocks lying about, they looked ordinary but if you cracked them open they had beautiful sunset colours inside. I kept these in a toolbox, sorted by hue. For a while I had a collection of little succulents, but that was when I was still learning about plant care so I um, don't still have that collection. Also like, a spice collection is totally a thing right? I don't consider my kitchen to be complete unless I have every spice I can possibly think of on hand

Hey @Jardin! That's quite a dilemma, you should be able to feel assured that everything that makes your home a home will still be there when you go out and come back. Depending on how much stuff you actually have, perhaps it's feasible to have a secure place to store the things that are most important to you? Like a lockbox or something. Then when your sister comes and you leave the house, you'll either confirm your fears on something that you're prepared to lose, or it'll all be fine. I wouldn't say I'd prefer that to just locking my room and/or having a boundary that she won't cross if I were in your situation though. In any case I hope you've gotten some good ideas from this thread, and that they work a charm for you!

Thank you for sharing @Gbear, that's a lot that you went through and I feel really proud for you seeing how you've come out the other side of it @AnonymouslygayI've heard of labels like that, I went through a few of them a few year ago trying to describe all the ins and outs of who I'm attracted to. I ended up just using it to excuse relationships that I didn't actually want to be in though, so I feel like it's important to note that keeping it simple or even just declining to label yourself like that are also great options! It just depends on each individual what work for them.

Welcome @Rosie97! I think @Bella2's pretty on the mark that it's probably a good idea to spend some time apart. It's actually really common for people who've just broken up to have fights like you're having and resolve that by putting some distance between each other. Eventually if you still feel positively towards each other you'll cross paths again, and you can start a new, better bond because by that time most of the things you've been fighting about just won't be relevant anymore. I think it's also a good idea if he's under the impression that you'll get back together and you don't feel the same, to be clear with him about that. If he's receptive to that then he'll stop pushing that idea, which I imagine will make you feel more comfortable. If he's not then at least you tried, and if you have to give him to cold shoulder for him to get the message then that's on him! Make sure you touch base with your friends and family frequently for the next little while too, having their support during and after a breakup is important! I hope it all goes well for you, and you're more than welcome to come back and keep us updated whether it be good or bad! We're here to support you <3

Hi @Nuttsy5, and welcome to the forums! I'm not sure you'll find your answer here, this section of the forums is where people typically go to get support for their mental health. You may well be able to find others on here who are interested in electronics in the Hanging Out section, so by all means feel free to start a threat there! Here's also some forums you could go to that are more specialized, here are a few: Circuit Digest All About Circuits Electro Tech Online

Molly/Mii from one of the pokemon movies! I watched it when I was really young and thought she was a lot like me, and I felt really glad and hopeful seeing how she was able to work through her feelings and focus on things that make her truly happy Now for a song! What's the first one that comes to mind?
