I think this is where I’m meant to put some witty description of myself, but, uhh, I don’t have one. So have a Birb instead :)

Happy new year and happy quarter century, DT peoples!!!
The cat is not amused, but calmed down pretty quickly
I watched the 9:30 ones at Footscray park, and was planning on heading into the city but I was surprisingly tired so just went home
The only thing I don’t like about watching the fireworks on the telly is that they’re always like 2 minutes behind what I’m hearing. But I forgot to wash the one nice jacket I own, and evidently the weatherman forgot that it was hot yesterday
P.S as a bonus, I can see my real Spotify wrapped through lastfm now, without a large chunk of listens after like October when they stop counting being missing
spoiler
I wish you all the very best for the new year!
♥️

Yeah it was for me too. I ended up deleting the ABC app because I was compulsively checking it every 20 or so minutes for most of yesterday. They showed photos of the victims (taken before it happened) and that broke me. I just couldn’t deal with it and broke down. I’ve still checked the website too many times today, but I’m slightly more composed than yesterday.
I just wanted to drop in and make sure everybody was holding up okay, or i guess better than I was. Hugs, not that that feels very helpful at the moment, at least not to me :/

Thanks! You’ve certainly got me beat! I don’t really understand how they reached their conclusions. But to be fair, my listening habits are so diverse I don’t think their robots really know what to categorise me as
what do all of these songs even have in common?

Thanks Tom, can’t complain. Hope you’re all good as well!

Happy wrapped day DT people!
Last year you all called me an old soul. This year spotify beat you to the punch-
"listening age"
Bonus points for the day I listened to 168 artists and 159 songs in a single day
"most diverse day"
I must’ve been going through something, but I have no clue what or why
More generally, glad to see this place is still going. Hope you’ve all been keeping well

Cheers dumble, and everyone else who’s dropped well wishes in. And low for passing the link along. Truly appreciated
I had my wisdom teeth removed 3 days ago, and as part of the healing process I can’t drink, or have a slice of cake. And the pain meds have left me too tired to go anywhere or catch up with anyone

Thanks for the kind words/wishes yesterday, and low for reaching out
I just want to clarify in case I’ve sent the weekly message, I’m okay. Well I’m about 30% okay, but I’ll get through it.
I left because over the last few months I’ve really just felt like a burden pretty much any time I say anything. It’s not entirely because of what I say, but I think more often because I realise that everyone else, whether here or not, has much larger issues, while I’m off complaining about minor things in approximately 7,000 worse per comment. I tried to fix that by cutting down on what I say, how often I’m here, and by trying to help other people when I could, or otherwise try and be openly empathetic (I used to hold off because I thought that “aw I’m sorry such and such is happening to you. Hope it stops happening soon!” sounded too much like a hollow statement, despite finding it very helpful when people would reply to my troubles similarly). But usually I ended up figuring out a way to make it about me, which was pretty awful of me, and I almost deleted my account a few weeks ago when I realised. But I took a little break instead
The break doesn’t seem to have helped, I think I’m just genuinely shit at anything that’s not a 1 sided dialogue. I hate that, and to be honest, kind of despise myself for it. Probably a side effect of not having many friends when I was younger so not developing proper social skills, and being in care for so long, where everything very much is one sided and hollow. But in any case, it’s a deficit that I realise I have, and can’t seem to be able to fix. But I think because of that, I’m not a very good person to interact with, so until I do work it out, I just don’t think I do anyone any good being around here
But I do sincerely appreciate the help and advice everybody here had given me. You are all amazing people, and I’m sorry for the troubles I’ve caused
I’ll be back one day, but I don’t think I should come back until I know I can do better. I actually think that may come naturally once I move out and into an environment more conducive to good mental helath
✌️
