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 recently bought a new winter jacket that I'm so excited about! My old one has been getting pretty threadbare, and the pockets open up instead of sideways which has been bothering me a lot lately. It's so annoying when I put my hands in my pockets for long periods of time and circulation starts cutting off because of how my wrists are angled coming out of the pockets.

Feel free to talk to me about your fish, I can tell you about my dogs!
