perhaps that'd be a good way to channel your emotions towards something and let it out Megan. writing has always given me a sense of release, even if it's not poetic sounding or anything. literally just voicing out stuff through text.

i liked your post Zeo but forgot to post like i should've. thank you for the words, and my condolences for your father as well. events like Father-Child Days, Mother's Day have that sting to them for folks like us, but we learn to cope better and better as the years go by. i'm happy another father did that for you, may he always have good fortune his way. my extended family have been nothing but open and warm to me as well for the past 5 years since my mom's passing, and i really need to show my appreciation for them more.

I'm glad you found warmth through your extended family. There's a certain gap that's left through losses like this, and I guess we just have to fill it the best we can. I just remember a friend texting me telling me she kept forgetting to say goodnight to her dad, and my response was something along the lines of "Please don't forget, our time with parents isn't guaranteed".

ooh i resonate with what you said to your friend so much. for me it was that i really wish i had smiled more in the pictures my mom took of me. it's one of my biggest regrets looking through older photos of my early teen years and how grumpy i looked almost all the time, just because i felt i was "too cool" for pictures or whatever my feeble mind was thinking of at the time. i'd like to think that, when someone wants to photograph me, i smile as bright as i can nowadays in her honor.
 
My condolences to both of you guys and I'm glad you can still find happiness through other people or your memories with them. It's awesome they mean a lot to you.

I'll be honest I'm not sure what to say on this topic? I haven't really experienced things like those but I may as well share what I've got? I tend to avoid any of my family that isn't my parents (or my aunt and uncle though I don't see them a lot) cause there was a lot of complications growing up. Things like having a lot of expectations for both me and my parents, and forms of abuse I wasn't really aware of until midway through my teens. It usually doesn't affect me too much but I'll still have to see them for things like holidays (because I'm obligated to according to my mom) and still have the occasional nightmare about one person in my family. A big reason I want to move out of the province and live with my boyfriend is because it's an excuse to get away from it. Even though the city is gorgeous here, that experience is something I have to keep going through every so often in the later months of the year. I only really consider my family to be my parents and I, because they're my immediate family I live with and the ones I see most often I don't dread having to see.
I think once I graduated high school I kinda realized a lot of what my mom did for me was because she was looking out for me in her own roundabout way. We still run into complications and I still get frustrated at her but I think my first step to really opening up around her and maturing was having that realization I could only really have once I graduated. We took a shopping trip for a couple hours today, and it was really pleasant.
I've had a couple people I've known say pretty extreme things like wanting to harm or kill their parents or family and one... actually got arrested for assault, so... I think there are extremes people take it to, and I'm definitely fortunate for what I have.

I guess this was a longer and way more serious post than I was planning to make, huh? Hope you guys are all doing alright.

ZeoStar gave me a notification and I accidentally opened this thread so uhhhh, hi! It does need a bump! I've been having fun just dropping random stuff into this thread and carving it into sort of my own DCC thread but I suppose I'll see if this thread gets more activity (I wanna test the waters before I go all feral) before I go and do all that.
Hope to see you posting if you see this, hehe.~
 
I realized I never responded to your post, so I just left a like.

Admittedly that was a darker topic and I think it killed the thread.
 
yes i was waiting for someone else to reply because i honestly didn't know how to follow up with such a dark topic eheh. so sorry to leave you hanging like that Setsuna!
 
No worries, I don't mind. Thanks to you and Ash for kicking this thread back up though (and getting me in here), I'd been thinking about it earlier today, but I've been trying to avoid double-posting as much as I can on these forums (I think I read it was against the rules or something when I signed up, but that was... so long ago at this point...)

It was a darker topic and I guess sometimes it's hard for me to find the words to respond, so I totally get it.

On another topic to get it away from that though... trying to think of something... I guess just what I've been doing lately?
I'm on this forum right now to kill time for a Love Live performance big surprise, totally something I'd do, right? that starts at like... 2am, in about 5 hours from now. I'm trying to set an earlier sleep schedule for myself but I've been waiting weeks and weeks and I'll be viewing it online with friends live, which will be my first time. The whole "gimmick" of the show is that some of the girls will be performing other's solos, so there's been tons of fanart on social media with outfit swaps and it's been super exciting to see for the whole day.
I learned how banks can be a pain today. Not gonna get into details about it but I had to go in to get something done and I found out I needed to schedule a whole appointment for something I thought would be simple, and have to wait several days for it. I barely even knew what I was in there trying to do, so it was good to have my parents with me who actually knew how everything worked. Made me realize I don't know as much as useful stuff as I thought, and that I can have people with me for that kind of thing.
Besides that Zeo I know you've been going through classic Mega Man, but I've been going through the X series lately. I've gotten through X and X2 the past few days and I'm about halfway through X3. It's a pretty different experience especially being used to the classic series but never having played X, so I can relate more closely to how you feel about struggling with the difficult stages in the classic games.

5 hours from now? why not take a nap and set an alarm when the show's about to begin? that's something i'd do hehe.

and yeah physical banks are a pain. i've recently been learning about online banks in my country and i've been applying to some of them so i can better disperse my savings across different platforms. i learned recently of how risky it is to have literally everything in just one place... best of all, online banks don't even have offices! i can just do what i need when i need to~

It's a good idea on paper but I don't know if sleeping for a while, getting hype for a live, and then trying to go back to sleep would work out so well. I'd try it if my deadline for having that consistent schedule wasn't like, 2 days from now... Yes, doing this is already a bad idea but am I going to stay up to support my idols and complain about Japan time instead of sleeping? Of course!

Seems like a smart idea. This is what I mean about not knowing all this stuff, online banks aren't a thing I have a lot of knowledge on and will probably have to look up what they're like for my country. I've done stuff digitally before but being able to just do whatever without having to wait or go to an office seems pretty nice.~
 
When I went to the DMV to get started on driving for the first time, I legit almost had a panic attack because there were so many lines open, I didn't know which one to stand in, and it was such a busy place. I still need to go back for something but I've been delaying it. I was more worried about standing in the wrong line than taking the test.

Yeah I think I needed a break from Mega Man. I also have Mega Man X on my PlayStation, but I want to finish the classic series first. I think it's one of those things you have to be in the right mood to play. If I'm looking to "turn my mind off", the last thing I want is to die in Mega Man over and over again.

oof yeah situations like that are the worse. the first thing i do when i'm in a pickle like that is peruse the walls or pamphlets they may have on the front desk to see if there's any instructions on what to do. either that or check the DMV Facebook page or whatever (i dunno if y'all have that there, gov't branches here all have FB pages with updated guides). as much as possible asking for help from another person is the last resort for me.

this reminds me that i still need to get my social security card. to this day i still only have my passport as my one valid ID :/

Yeah, that kind of thing gets to me, I'm the kind of person who (probably to the annoyance of others) needs a lot of details about what I need to do and how I need to do it. If someone were to just tell me "Go to this place to do this thing" it wouldn't be enough and I'd easily panic over it. I'd need to know "Go to this place, and ask this person at this desk about this and how to do it" and it's a pretty big issue I realize I still have in those situations.

Wandering around cluelessly is fine if I'm doing something like meeting a friend/family and they know I'm not used to the area, but if it's anything else, especially something formal, I start to suffer and I suffer hot and fast...
