@Birdofparadise8 good grief! Each to their own I suppose, I can't imagine spending that much time on any one thing. Even if I'm doing a large diamond painting I will get up and do other things. But then my brother can be like that, spend 10 hours in front of a screen gaming with mates.
Do you find yourself being drawn to trauma in what you watch and read? I just read the synopsis of Tell Me Lies and it sounds like a psychological drama.

I know I don't get why they like it so much @ENKELI
Um, I could be. I have another book to read called The Fabric of Our Souls by K. M. Moronova. Look at that one.
I do like a good psychological drama. On Netflix, there is pieces of her, who is Erin Carter, and YOU.
I've watched them all, and they are very good.
Why is it a bad thing?

@Birdofparadise8 I would never say it was a good or a bad thing princess, it is just an observation I made, like you watch things you can perhaps relate to.
For me it's the opposite. I love true crime shows but certainly can't relate to them! I also like some psychological thrillers/dramas and am always looking for other shows to watch.
Without sounding like a bitch ex friend was not an intellect and watched shows I would find annoying.
You my sweet are an intellectual and the shows you watch show a maturity my former friend at 42 will never have. It's very refreshing. Utopia for example, ex would not understand it or find it funny.

Ah okay @ENKELI
Oh, wow, really. People really need maturity, and I wish men my age would act more mature.
I like crime ones as well. Have you seen Dr Death? That is awful, but it is also an interesting story based on true events.
What are you doing tonight?

@Birdofparadise8 not sure, what are we doing tonight? 😄
I will be pottering mostly, still rearranging, making dinner (pork schnitzel with veg and mash) and sorting out my clean clothes.
I haven't seen Dr Death, I'll have to look out for it. When I am working I rarely watch anything, I would prefer to read a book or listen to music and it's only when I find a good show that I will spend much time watching TV. Getting Netflix was bad, now I watch way too much! Once I start working though that will change.
I wish people of my age would show maturity! Men at 20 are still boys. They act silly. I remember dating in my 20's, the 3 guys I dated were older than me but I remember when I was about 22 I dated a guy the same age and all he wanted to do was drink or catch up with his mates. I think we dated for about 3 months! When I was 25 I met my ex-fiancé and I was with him until I turned 29, he was 9 years older than me.

Hahahahha, I like that you said that @ENKELI
We, hmm, not sure. Chat, I guess. I get to see my psych on Wednesday. I wish it would hurry up, but then it will be over, and I'll be feeling shit on Thursday, and then I want to see him again and have to wait until the next Wednesday. That sounds yummy. I have a chicken schnitzel to cook. Dr Death is on Stan. I highly recommend it. The others I mentioned are on Netflix. I know I swear my friend that's 25 is less mature than me and thinks with other body parts lol the guy.
Hi @Former-Member, thank you. I'm feeling an arrange of things right now. Those things aren't working the best, the TV and diamond art. I feel so lonely. I don't know why I have to feel this way. It's like something in my soul is missing, and I am craving comfort, but I don't have anything to fix that.
I think I've finished the intro with 350 words. Do you think that is okay?

Yes I too think marriage isn’t something to jump into; it’s something that should come along naturally, with mutuality 🙂 @creative_writer 🌺💜
Thank you so much - I had this person in my life for a relatively short time because he passed suddenly from an illness he didn’t know he had 💜
Time pressures do weigh much more on women, in terms of children, however one thing I had a friend do was store some of her eggs, so she could have children later. And my mother had my youngest brother at 43, and she herself was born from my grandmother when nana was 40, all the way back in 1943.
I mention it because sometimes, there is opportunity for some years yet 🙂💜🌺
Although I do know that doesn’t suit everyone 💜🌺
I wish I had waited much longer prior to getting married - I divorced after 18 years with someone that was hard work, basically (the person I felt comfortable with, I met some years after I got divorced).
Im really sorry to hear those feelings come up regarding disgust and shame 😔❤️🩹
I know it’s easy to say, and very difficult to reconcile, however I hope that there comes a day where you can shed that blame and shame sweetheart 💜🫂🌺
