Tell me something

About your life. Anything really.

Did you attend school dances?
Did you graduate?
A good piece of advice you’ve been given?
A story?
Is there anything you’re currently struggling with?

I’ll tell you a struggle I’m dealing with I guess…

  • I feel like most people in my life doubt my abilities. And that they don’t really know who I am. Heck, I guess I don’t really know who I am either (and I’m in my 30’s)
  • Nobody thinks my writings are good, nobody thinks my art is good… I don’t know, I feel like both those things are subjective… So maybe I’m just asking the wrong people.

I think I know who I am but I am very introverted so I don’t share things about myself to people. Even those I am closest to. Maybe it’s a self preservation thing. :person_shrugging:

I’m pretty introverted nowadays too. I just prefer to be on my own, that being said I still very much value time with friends and family when it’s good.

I also feel like i’m not valued so much but that’s because of the illness’s effects on me. Getting stressed easily and then the paralysis that comes with that would jade many’s opinion of a person

When I was 13 or 14 years old I almost had a heart attack in school!

Well, no one thought I my photography was that good until I was in my mid-thirties. It does take a while to sharpen ones skills. I think the trick is just to keep going.

Spending time with in-laws is a good indicator that things are about to head downhill fast.

I don’t know why but the movie ‘James and the giant peach’ came to my mind all of the sudden.
So I guess that counts as a story?


In other news, the front door of my house is in repair, so I have to go out the back door to get outside.

Breaking news!!! only moments ago a hinge fell off a door, and now ladies and gentlemen, we must hope and pray for quick repairs in this perilous hour, as tonight we remember the hinge and the many, wondrous openings that it brought to us… all this and more on boring news tonight as we bring you the latest updates. This is Pik5 reporting on the scene: so far there has been no word on when the door will be recovered. Alright, back to you Mr.forum.

On to our next story, we talked to an amazing professor on life… Dr.Philosophy, on where current events seem to be going, about the amazing effects of being unhinged on the psyche of the modern house…

I would listen to the naysayers. All art related stuff is subjective. I mean there are people out there who collect crude serial killer art LOL.

I suppose an interesting thing about me is that I have 4 associate degrees and I went to film school after I got out of the Air Force.

I love to play guitar and mandolin but would never have gotten as far as I have if not for this simple advice: a little every day and no more.

Probably not such a bad thing…going about your business privately.

Anyhoo! I see you just joined us a couple of months ago. I never welcomed you aboard. Nice having you contribute to our little part of the internet galaxy!

What’s the origin of your handle? Why Vinegar? Just curious. :slight_smile:

I’m also in my fifties, so we share that in common. We’ll probably catch each other’s older references.

Thanks for the welcome Patrick.

Yeah, I had been lurking for awhile, looking for an online support group, and everyone here seemed nice and supportive here so I stayed.

My neice asked everyone in our family last year what they would be if they were a food and I picked vinegar. It is sour, yet sweet, strong, a great preservative, versatile in recipes and is also healthy. It can stop heartburn. I also use it to clean the house and for various science experiments. Lots of uses.

So I feel that I am like vinegar - strong and versatile :muscle:

Good to see you hanging around this forum again. Your posts were always appreciated :clap:
