2025-10-29 23:34:26 +0000 UTChi lassies, (i’m feeling very irish today. idk if that is an irish word but im liking it.) i’m feeling pretty bummed lately with my girlfriend. her mom is lowkey ruining my life and i don’t know how to like. get her out of my butt. we aren’t allowed to see eachother anymore (we r adults btw) and they track her 24/7. she’s basically on house arrest 😭 how do i lock back in on myself so i can feel better for the huzz and deal with this situation better? many hugs and kisses to astrid and only one hug and maybe a kiss to mika.

2025-10-22 03:18:57 +0000 UTCHi Miker and Hi Astrid! I want to start off by saying that as someone who has been to actual therapy for 7~ years at this point that Therapy Time is incredibly helpful as another more casual way of therapy, even though you two aren’t licensed therapists. I have this issue that I can’t seem to ever feel fulfilled or happy with things, I do a really good job at my work and get to hear that often from people I work around and my boss, but I can’t seem to keep that happiness for longer than just a day, it’s always back to being anxious about not doing well. I have a long time issue with substance abuse and caught a possession charge earlier this year which messed me up pretty bad mentally, I’m in a country where even weed is seen as a horrible crime, so my situation was very bad for me but I won’t go further into that other than mention I’m going to be a month sober again soon and even if it feels good I am afraid of relapse which has happened plenty of times before, this is another thing where I just can’t seem to grasp that a month sober is a massive win for me and it doesn’t fulfill me the way I think it should. I came out fully as trans in 2020 and am happy with my journey and how I am seen as a person now as well as how I feel as myself, but again this gratification is such shortlived even though I worked towards that goal for so many years. I live based on short term goals constantly and as soon as that goal is met I fall into this hole again until I’m able to find another goal to work towards. I’m sorry if this was a long mess I’m very sleep deprived and not a native english speaker so I might not make sense at times. On a more positive note I really love both of your projects aside from sleep deprived especially music, insect.christmas has been a favorite of mine for a while now and Alex Unknown is incredible music to sing along to. For Astrid I really appreciate this one members video you uploaded on astrid ztar, ”33 minutes with kiwi”, it helped me out of a bad acid trip and put me onto George Clanton, thank you! Hope you both have a wonderful rest of your day/night and enjoy this upcoming holiday season.

2025-10-19 14:04:04 +0000 UTCNot part of the question but side note for anyone curious about the last situation it’s largely better, the guy has a boyfriend now (thank goodness because he’s a manager lol) I have been encouraging the other girl (his roommate btw, forgot to mention that) to pursue this one guy she is interested in, and the Ex girlfriend hasn’t caused too many issues. I’ll take the advice given to heart and try to be more careful and do things in a way I would like. You think I would have learned by now since this is the second time in the past year something like that has happened, especially given the whole fiasco with my Ex boyfriend but hey, I’m learning now at least (: even turned down a guy offering to hook me with up a girl so I can focus on the grind set 🗣️ (for now at least I would very much like a partner I can spent forever with, but I have recently discovered that I might be attracted to problematic people which is lightly concerning)

2025-10-12 00:30:11 +0000 UTCHey Mika! Hey Astrid! Better question this time but probably asked a thousand times already: how should I try and balance my life when I have a full time job and college at the same time? I often find myself working from 4pm to 12:30am-2:30am, I also have morning classes so there are days when I leave home before 7:00 am, come home when I finish, change, and go right into work where I fall asleep around 1-2am when I finally get home. I don’t want to burn out or anything and I want to have somewhat of a personal life, but I also don’t want to fall behind in college. it really feels hard sometimes. It also doesn’t help that apparently I was supposed to be employee of the month two months ago, but It was given to someone else the first time because the morning managers are more familiar with her (honestly I like her though good for her) but this time around it was given to to someone who my manager has described as a “lazy fuck who never shows up to work on time but is friends with many managers” so that’s pretty demotivating as well… Do you have any advice?
