depression, gender and drinking in a small town

[amw]

I really wanted to find an excuse to post some pretty sunset selfies that i took a few weeks ago, but the last couple weeks i have been an emotional basketcase

Real human interaction is always more insightful and rewarding than these internet ones. Mostly because people behave more human.

Life is nuanced. I feel like people are losing the ability to see nuance.

That gas station picture is so Canadian it makes me laugh.

Oh I forgot. I hope the job thing works out if you want it. That could be interesting... and not to mention it could be a good excuse to visit Germany again.

This winter is going to suck. I'd consider the job as something to do, rather than fret over assholes on forums or slowly die of seasonal depression.

On winter activities, i don't draw, but i do write! Mostly here on LJ, i suppose. I don't do creative writing. As a kid i always thought it'd be cool to be a sci-fi writer, but when it comes down to it i don't really have any great stories in my head dying to come out. I think the only creative bone i have is musical.

Thanks for this comment ❤

This sounds weird I bet.... but you seem to me like someone who should whittle! Maybe it's the vision of you and your harp out by the trains... but I picture you on a rock with a stick, a knife, concentrating on making something... even if its just a toothpick or walking stick or little doodad you leave in place of the stick you made it from.

This is a fascinating idea! I have never done it before other than, i suppose, mucking around aimlessly when camping, but it does sound like something i'd like. I will look for a stick next time i'm out and see how it feels.

Hope you're feeling less depressed than you have been these past couple of weeks. Without knowing this situation first hand, it does sound to me like the people you're arguing with are the type who love to talk about how they stick up for minority voices, only to ignore them when said minority voices an opinion they don't agree with.

That job with your old German company sounds ideal. Brings some money in while not being too much and allows you to travel at the same time! Have you decided if you'll accept?

I've arranged to have a video call with my old boss to talk about it. He did say in the email that i could do part-time, which would be great. I think work might help keep my mind off things too.
