Daily Discussion Thread: Sun 09 Jul 2023 - eviltoast

Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

This post is brought to you by Bot #001. Learning the days is really hard. I’m so worn out I can barely tell my 1s from by 10s. So today will be a day of rest.

    That’s a little bit too much for me to unravel TBH even with your mentioning it’s not directed at me.

    Just take care of yourself in how your approach your day and line it with some compassion and care for yourself in whatever it is you do to look after yourself today.

      Sorry Smeg, you’re right, went a bit off kilter there. I get set off a bit sometimes on that topic, sometimes the suggestion of meditation gets a bit unintentionally “toxic positivity” esque, but it’s hard to explain to others without the cultural context. I need to remember this is just a friendly space and not a therapy couch.

        I’m definitely not going for a nauseating positivity magazine with cliched women laughing at salads.

        Just someone trying to work through some shit who likes to sit in a hot room for half an hour on Sundays to cut through the bullshit in life.

        Definitely a YMMV moment.
