sorry man, that sucks that you feel betrayed.

Even if they were hammered - I hope getting some things out in the open helped your soul some. We've only got true control over a couple of things in this universe. One of them is our actions, and another is our reactions. I have really enjoyed getting to know you and I hope you can take a few deep breaths and be grateful for the long term friends that you can feel comfortable sharing deep stuff with :smile:

Yeah, bro. That's a good point. And I really try hard to respond rather than react in situations like that. I'm thankful that this place was here for me to vent but I'm sorry to lay this all out on you guys. I love this person and have a great deal of empathy for them and I'm certainly not passing any judgment, I just feel let down that they weren't able to come to the table with the same presence that I tried to bring.

@noku, peace to you, friend. Would be good to followup when you are both fully present to confirm successful communication actually took place. Peace to you, and your friend.

Noku i get the anger. The question is why for you and how it reflects your own journey or lesson? I would suggest that your reaction is far more about you and something important to be clear about than it is about them. Somehow they’ve shown up perfectly at the perfect time, even if they don’t know it.

You are absolutely right. Particularly your last sentence. We are all mirrors of each other in so many ways and this conversation, this moment was an opportunity for me to learn more about myself in addition to being vulnerable and trying to show up for them.  Thanks for this thoughtful reply.

Unfortunately at the end of the conversation I had a sudden realization that the person I was talking to, as upset and crying and hurting as they were, was also fucking hammered.


It is likely the conversation would not have gone deep if he/she wasn't hammered.


i have insanely deep conversations with my friends--noku included--sober all the time. 

its not really the point anyway. its more that noku felt safe opening up to someone who was fucked up and didnt disclose it. 

it leaves you feeling unsafe and ultimately, just really lonely.  its an emotionally unintelligent and selfish thing to do to a bud. especially a bud like noku. 

that would leave me slanted noku.  sorry man.  i gotchu though if you wanna talk later.  ill call you when i can.

I think this is a great attitude.  Friend may have trouble being vulnerable sober too.  So, if you offer them some grace around last night when you bring it back up, it may allow more space for those conversations in the future without substances being involved.

Thanks, TF. They're definitely is an opportunity here for me to allow for what's going on with them and to open that conversation up so that we both feel safer next time.

@Beef, my brother, thank you for this comment and your support. You've managed to articulate what it was that had me upset in a far better way than I could. You're the man.

I’m can’t offer you any more advice than all the good folks here said to you Noku. There was some great stuff offered my all here. I am sorry you feel like duped or betrayed, but I know that sometimes it might take a bit of a substance to free up the mind to talk comfortably. I know my wife and I have much deeper more thoughtful conversations when we are shroomy. I know they say that alcohol is like a truth serum at times for some people. I have a friend that he gets really emotional when he gets a few in him. I think sometimes he talks so much from such a good place he actually stutters trying to say what wants because I think he gets nervous talking about stuff he normally can’t and it actually seems like he is more fucked up than he really is. I agree with some of the comments of letting it be a couple days then see how things are and if he is ok and remembers what you both talked about. If he does, then I say give him a little slack. He might need it.

We decided on a name. 


MARLEE JADE.    Initials are MJZ.

"MJ" FOR SHORT.:muppet:



Edit. 

Also Marlee sounds like it could go both ways for us. Like gender-neutral. We spelled it l e e to be more strong and powerful.

  So for everybody who had those concerns we got that covered.. just in case down the road we need to support a change. 




we're naming her after Bob Marley because she's going to be my one love and get my one heart.

And Jade after our favorite female Mortal Kombat character who kicks ass!

You and your wife are very considerate people! I wouldn't have considered a gender neutral name for my daughter on the off chance that they didn't want to be a girl any longer.

Good on you guys, that's awesome.

Now I suppose I have another item to add to the list of reasons I can't be a parent. Thanks!

Nice name Hip!

I would upload a pic with our plans for today, but no matter what I try the site thinks all of my pics are too large. Even in lowest resolution and then cropping the fuck out of it. So, fuck it.

Edit: checked it, the site just refused a 1.4 mb pic because it was 'larger than 5.12 mb'.

Hey man, not sure if you're running android but I have to reduce the size of my pictures all the time and I primarily post with mobile.

What I've noticed is after I edit a photo, sometimes the browser will still have the original one cached even though it doesn't exist anymore. That can cause it to think the file is too large.

Also I'm not a tech guru or anything but my phone has the option to "revert image to original" and I don't see how that's possible of I've reduced the size. I have a suspicion that the phone retains the original image in addition to the "new" (edited) one and this causes issues when the phone is picking files to upload.

Perhaps if you tried changing the file name, that may also work?

Actually a lot of people have been having issues lately and are reporting to websites to upload and compress or reformat their photos, which is kinda sketchy imo for some of the stuff posted around here. I'll just go ahead and drop this bit here in case it helps anyone else running the same os-

My phone has this thing called "remastering" which is located in an odd spot. This thing reduces the MP from like 30 to 3 sometimes. The most efficient and quickest way to edit your photos (on android at least) and retain high quality is to do whatever edits, lighting adjustments, and cropping first. Then after, hit remaster.

So the regular edit button is the pencil circled in red. The tucked away remaster thing is located in the blue circle in the top right in this photo:



Then hit details:



Notice the picture size and the remaster option (takes a couple seconds to show up sometimes too...). Push remaster:



Behold, 5 seconds of button clicking and this picture is now able to be uploaded:



Just like so c;




Idk why that shit is in such an unintuitive location but once I figured this out I was able to start posting high quality photos. Maybe this can help some folks.

Omg actually the whole reason I came here was to confess...

My most recent grow, I had the idea of getting my wife involved. Figure if she can have fun doing it, I'm less likely to catch flak. So I showed her how to make a shoebox up, then she made her own, and I made the third one.

I really want her to enjoy the process and she's a little competitive, so I'm doing little things to make sure her box is the best. Hers is higher up in the closet so it receives more warmth, her box had water pooling in a couple spots so I helped her catch it and keep everything looking good.

Meanwhile I underwatered one of the tubs, and there's a bit of water pooling on the edges of both of my tubs and I've left it there. I did a half assed job of leveling the sub, instead of using the trowel.

I want hers to have the biggest flush so she gets a super satisfying feeling, and I'm deliberately not growing as well as I could be to make that happen.

Oh shame, I thought.

But guess what I just found!!


Her first Pin!!

She's gonna be so giddy c:
