Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Today I saw a little albino fish at work and I got excited, but I realized I have no one to share it with lol.

Some days the loneliness hits a little harder than others, and tonight just seems to be one of those nights I suppose. I figured maybe I can curb the feeling a bit by striking up a conversation with a stranger.

Feel free to DM as well if you'd like a friend too! Or if you're looking for some kind of connection that you can't seem to find irl. (Hopefully this is allowed?) I promise I will share a photo of my albino fish 🙂

I've been working on a new mechanic for my game, which hopefully lets me get back to creating content so I can release a vertical slice so I can start a Kickstarter before my money runs out.

Other than that, got my autism diagnosis and Amy trying to get my medical records that have gone missing so maybe I can get a medical cannabis prescription so I can sleep and do social things a bit easier.

My partner is displeased with me because my brain is so full I've not been a very good partner to her or father of late.

The diagnosis being off my plate and escalating my medical records issue to a higher power does make me feel like some of the weight is off, at least

Just trying to keep all the plates spinning, y'know?
