Vent/Rant Thread 1 (POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING)

Not open for further replies.
Bojangles, I feel you. I'm a summer kiddie too.. if I'm in good spirits I love the change in seasons, but if not, it's definitely the final straw! Sunlight is good for the soul.. it's a lot harder to see the beauty in the world when you feel rubbish and it's wet and cold outside.

I think that when you are feeling unhappy/frustrated, you notice others who are the same way.. And yes, a lot of people are unhappy. But look at us in here - here are some amazing people, who've been through some really shitty stuff, yet we want to make our lives better. Here we are talking to each other and reaching out and trying to make sense of this ridiculous society and it's ridiculous rules and constraints and all the crap that life throws at us. There definitely are people who also want to talk, and connect, and get more from life. We all do in here. You're not alone :) <3
 
A rant once and a while is fine. I love a good rant, but only when it's constructive.

Except things that don't count towards being constructive are persistent bitching, disrespect, prejudice, and elitism/mentalism.

Bo: you're a really smart guy..... but you seriously need to slow your roll when it comes to dealing & talking with/about other people. Our mouths lag behind our brains sometimes, especially when we're pissed...... and most especially when we're pissed about shit that we have no control over.
I'm guilty of it too, but fuck man.... your horse has been getting pretty high, and not the kind you get from the loco-weed. 8)

I mean, come on..... take a good look at why you're getting pissed off at people. Does getting mad at your coworkers (or society) for something like that, and then dragging it home with you make any logical sense?
If you think everyone is constantly unhappy; it's quite possible they started off happy, and then had some everlasting grump or stick-in-the-mud came into their midst & dragged everyone else down with them. Empathy works both ways, especially when it comes to the virulent negativity.

We all live in a world of shit, but not everyone sees it as such; rather, they may see it as a world of fertilizer in which beautiful things can grow. If you never plant your own seeds, your surroundings will be most assuredly barren.

i've wanted to contribute more to this thread but ive been busy:(
just a quick word of advice for anyone down: working out as much as possible has been doing wonders for me,
especially if im stressed, i guess working out floods your brain with endorphins (your body's natural painkillers) and i feel great after. so if your stressed try it out :)
 
That is definitely great advice Fyasko (nice to see you in here :) )
 
here it is again, now along with my colon, "it" is my bladder.
and the dummies still want me to take the TNF's. cant they see, that the TNF's, are far far more dangerous then the actual "disease"...this is so close to insane, and the only reason it is not to myself, is because i can not worry myself mad, worrying about what can not be changed, rather i peruse further the understanding which has been given to me in the seemingly worst possible ways - my body tried to die, my body is as everyone's still trying to die ATM, my/your soul and spirit though, they are what always lives, and is what has always kept me and everyone i know alive to this day, from each moment to the next - we are reborn - understand this, and see every other moment the epitome of the last.

PiP--I just spent quite a while making a giant heart made of hearts surrounding your beautiful words. After I was all finished I merrily hit the Post Reply button waiting to see with gleeful anticipation how my little gift to you would appear once it was actually hearts instead of a< and a 3 stuck together hundreds of times. I got a very sad little message that said I had used 193 img tags in my post out of a maximum allowable of 25. LOL ,story of my life! So I come to you kind of like Piglet with the burst balloon in the Pooh story. You can't see them with your eyes but they are all there. Lots of love. Healing love.
 
I am getting locked up because I admitted to smoking pot. POT PEOPLE, the one drug that is harmless. I could easily do hard drugs and get away with it, but I choose not to. I don't even want to list what I was charged with, because it is far too embarassing and fucked up. Lets just say, this little small town court system has hung me, and milked me for everything I am worth.

[sad]

Soundsystem, that's awful. I hate it so much that we live in a society where you can drink as much alcohol as you like, to the point of becoming unwell/aggressive/out of control, yet smoking some pot is an illegal activity. What purpose can jailing you possibly achieve? And why do we live in a society where we think it is okay to do this, over the choice someone makes about what to put inside their body? And why are you being punished for being honest? Something is very wrong with the world here..

Haha I'm ranting on your behalf now.. I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are okay <3 I know things are shit right now but remember.. "this too shall pass".
 
^ I know. not only am I being punished for smoking herb, I am being punished for telling the truth. I didn't even fail a drug test, I just heard it was good to be honest with your POs. yeah, not making that mistake again.

our legal system is so fucked up :(

I hate America, and hate Texas even more.

why me? the most harmless and kind human being to ever walk this God forsaken shithole if a town.

why?
 
^---- well...... that's as good a reason as any I've heard, to hate America, the state, and the town you're from. :\

When you find a place where choices & truths don't have consequences (and POs aren't assholes when you break the rules)..... let me know.

Maybe instead of telling the truth about willfully breaking the rules; or even worse, lying about doing so.... you could actually do your bit, jump through their hoops for your time on probation, and then not have to worry about shit later.

But if you're that bound n determined to buck the system, you can't expect an easy ride & to be left alone.

So constructive criticism & logic is off limits, eh?

Fine. I didn't know the definitions of integrity & honesty included telling the truth with the expectation of escaping consequences.

Though we dig our own graves, I guess it's everyone else's fault when the hole gets too deep. 8)

I fail to see how this was delivered in a constructive and sensitive manner. It comes across as more judgemental than anything else. 'Logic' can be twisted to use as an excuse to vent our own personal sensitivites and hurts on an issue, as well as trying to impose our will/own value system on someone who has clearly stated that they are feeling pretty vulnerable atm and unsupported -Anyone can flail about the word 'logic' while referring to their own judgement on a matter; that does not make it constructive criticism, no matter what way one chooses to spin it. Dont think there is any one of us on here who has done things perfectly IRL ... TDS rant is a place for people to vent their personal grievances without being judged even further; when we are already aggrieved. If advice was asked for then that is a different situation entirely but this is a place to vent with respect to others personal boundries.

I understand that the intention is well meaning but it doesnt read like that. I dont want to clog up the thread so will leave it at that.

I'm not judging, just pointing out a flawed line of thinking.

As in; "I know I'm not supposed to do something, but I'll do it anyways because I don't agree with the rules/law. But if telling the truth will give me a pass, I'll fess up. Otherwise, I'll just keep doing things against the rules, and lie about it so I don't have to face the consequences of telling the truth."

That's pretty illogical, and not an honest way to live, imho.
Maybe I just value integrity too much.

because you were honest, about not being honest. you have two choices now - one decision will have only one consequence; by continuing to be honest, you will not be punished again.

the other choice you have, has many varying consequences. you can continue doing what ever you want, with the high chance(dont kid yourself) of not being able to do much of what you would like to, and much of what your potential might allow, by force with no decisions left except this same scenario, allll over again.
