My grandma leaving me at the deep end of the pool when I couldn’t swim. I thought I was going to die.

when my family and i were staying at someone's house for a few weeks while in the process of moving, we would often go to this really small local ice cream shop. it was the middle of summer, and i remember eating ice cream while watching this group of motorcyclists driving into the parking lot. i remember being really wowed by it-- i was 7, so i think it was the first time i had ever seen motorcycles before. then i remember one of the guys inviting me to take a short ride with him down the street, and my parents were hesitant at first but eventually let me do it. i remember putting on a helmet and riding down the bumpy road on the back of the bike and everything, it was super cool. except, when i randomly brought this story up to my family a year or so ago they were all really confused, and told me that never happened LOL. which honestly makes sense, because i also would never allow my 7 year old child to get on some random guy's motorcycle and just drive off. but i was like ??? because this was such a clear memory in my head for so long. still no idea what happened there, must've just been a dream or my imagination or conflating two different memories together LOL

^ the people you might "scare away" by talking a lot aren't people you'll want to be around anyway, so yes keep on talking mwahaha. personally i'm always happy to meet people who talk a lot, because i sometimes have trouble knowing how to fill a conversation if the other person is quiet lol, so it balances out. :-) don't be too hard on yourself!

this image . idk. just speaks to me

^ that's fair! i've never read any of them because i'm not a horror fan and i know i wouldn't be able to properly appreciate it
> tired... sick... at least it's not covid though. yay
v what's your most controversial food opinion?

[Hokuto]

I really like eating the parts of animals most people don't. I'd describe some of the stuff I've had (admittedly, I didn't care for everything I've tried), but Chicken Smoothie doesn't appear to have spoiler tags or a similar forum feature for users who want to opt out. (Because we're on a website of people who like animals more than average, I have not knowingly eaten any ethically or legally objectionable animal parts.)

^ Get well soon! If you have miso, make yourself some warm soup. (This suggestion was stolen from my creative writing workshop group chat.)
> Between my rapidly declining academic performance and a horrible event in my personal life I keep thinking about, things aren't going so well for me.
v How do you take care of others?

[skrundle]

i'm really bad at it and usually the one being taken care of, but at least for my immediate family i provide for them financially and make sure they have a safe, happy, and clean roof over their heads with everything they need.

^ i'm really sorry to hear that ): take it easy on yourself, your personal wellness is always more important than grades. i hope there's brightness in your near future <3

> day four (i think?) of new meds. they're making me feel queasy and anxious, and keeping me up at night with hot flashes. i hope it passes ;-;

v got any songs on repeat lately?

[spacecatmint]

in this exact moment it's "one of us" by abba. lately though it's been afterglow by taylor swift and next time by sydney ross mitchell <3

^ good luck with your meds ;u;
> very sentimental and slightly worried. but in a good way? life moves so slow but also so fast. i'm processing a lot of emotions today lol but i'm doing good in general! gonna watch grey's anatomy and then go to sleep :>
v what is your "plan A" in life? like, the dream scenario you end up in? what does it look like?

i'll tell you what my plan A is like! just cause i feel like sharing and i may be slightly tipsy so i overshare
i own a small apartment either alone or with a friend of two, there's green grass and trees and wildlife close by, i have a simple but fulfilling job maybe in a small coffee shop in italy or portugal or wherever really, maybe i own a cat or two or three, when i wake up i smell freshly brewed coffee, i bike on a pink bike with a basket to work but on my days off i walk down to the market and buy oranges and fresh baguettes, i own so many books, when i go to sleep i have a smile on my face cause i feel so loved so loved so loved, i go down to the beach to watch the waves and sometimes i even bring my surf board, and i visit my family as often as i can
just a simple life really

[vi‎ ‎]

i love this question! my life looks similar to your's. since i was a kid i've always been okay with living pretty simply, at least compared to how i live now.

i'd like to be living in an apartment in a rainy city, hopefully doing private practice as a talk therapist. i'd own a hamster and have a huge cage for it to live in and i'd have a super sleek, simple gaming setup to stay up with my friends. i'd have some flowers next to the windowsills and brew fresh tea with mint (from my future garden) in the mornings. also i'd have a lot of mugs. that's a must lol
^ processing a lot of emotions and watching grey's anatomy. have fun watching tv and sleep well!
> went to the city today and went shopping. had a lot of fun and i bought some new clothes so im happy. gonna do some work and play fortnite later to make some progress on my battle pass
v how are you? i like the previous question so what's your "plan A" in life?

[axes]

Hmm, I think I want a small house somewhere where there are actually seasons, and I want to be with my partner and my cat. I'd like to be an artist with a small business as my job, and I'd like to be able to work at home or wherever I'd like. Funny how the most unrealistic part of this is owning a small house

^ Playing fortnite later. Have fun! my friend said something about a persona character being in fortnite?? I dont know if thats true but I was reminded of it / also a mug enjoyer. I like my yoshi egg mug a lot
> hmm I want coffee but it's 9PM on a work night.
v what animal do you think you are most like?

[LittleMaple]

the animal i am like? domesticated fox. very silly, noisy, excitable, and potentially toothy. the animal i view myself as? cat... thing... creature guy. the animal i wish i was? coyote. no explanation for that one lol

^ extremely felt. 11pm here but im on spring break. // i have similar goals :3 i just want a house with my wife and cats and to work at a zoo with an art business on the side and maybe hopefully a woodworking business too.
> this thread is the closest i will ever be to having twitter // just posted an entire ramble about sometimes feeling like i have ears/tail/wings under a piece of art. interesting, i guess? // my throat hurtssss i think its cuz i was on the phone with my wife for 5 and 1/2 hours straight today but it was so worth it. i really like her you guys like. i like her a lot :3
v whats a sentence you find very funny. i am personally a fan of bogos binted and eeby deeby
