HEY! YOU! What are you up to right now! (Part 3)

Iā€™m donā€™t know if this is right place to post this but Iā€™ll give it a shot. I am really not coping. Today my 68 year old Mother said to me, ā€˜Iā€™m going to punch you in the face in a minute!ā€™

I feel like Iā€™ve been hurt by so many people, my ex was a nasty bit of work, I keep getting nightmares about things Iā€™ve been through. In my dreams my ex tries to hurt me, he stabbed me with a fountain pen in one dream.

I feel like everything has, subconsciously, made me a little bit weird. I prefer to be by myself so I get labelled as a weirdo or a freak. I just tend to keep to myself and put my real personality in a box.

Hereā€™s Archie to, hopefully, brighten your day. :heart:

Thatā€™s shocking to hear. :open_mouth:, especially with your own mother saying those words to you. And these dreams areā€¦ (I have no words)

And I like to label myself as a lone wolf, (Or werewolf :wolf:). Trust me, Iā€™ve been called the devil at one time. :smiling_imp:

all of us are here for you if you ever need to talk.

Love the picture though.

Judging by what has been going on in parks lately, Iā€™m sure the lockdown ended weeks ago for a lot of us.

Yeah, but itā€™s ok! I get to relax till then!
Yes I think? Give me the title/author and Iā€™ll look them up.
Not many plans, Iā€™m at work as always. :stuck_out_tongue: You? Enjoy football too!

Sending strength @Audrina87!!

Everyone else, have a wonderful weekend!! :smiley: Iā€™m sorry I canā€™t be here much anymore but I do think about all of you and hope youā€™re doing good :slight_smile:

OT: My manager walked in on me preparing his surprise yesterday at work -.- We pretending he didnā€™t see the cake and I casually walked up to him a minute later with the candles lit and everything and ā€œsurprisedā€ him, it was pretty funny!
After work, I met my flatmate and a few of our friends to a nearby park and we had our first picnic of the season celebrating her birthday! We then walked home and stayed outside having more beer and cake and playing music till late. It was amazing!! I was so so so happy to see my friends again! (We didnā€™t hug but at least we were all together).

Iā€™m at work now, yet another busy weekend ahead but should manage. :wink:

And yeah, we defenitely have to find clear rules because nobody really knew what role they were inā€¦
Sending you and Linda and Monika and all the other wonderful island sheep many hugs back!!!:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::revolving_hearts::revolving_hearts::revolving_hearts::hugs:

@theearlywalker helloā€‹:hugs::hugs::hugs:any plans for this long weekend? Hope youā€™re feeling good!:revolving_hearts::hugs::hugs:

Youā€™re right. And thank you very much for your words.:hugs::orange_heart::revolving_hearts::revolving_hearts:

Thank you to you too!:heart::heart::heart:
Yeah, it is complicted and complex and i still donā€™t really know how itā€™s gonna be in future, but iā€™ll just see. And yeah, i agree, we really always hope/think a person is gonna change.:thinking:
Asking myself how i would want someone to act is a good way to think about this, thanks.

I really appreciate the thoughts&advice from you all here, it does help me to be able to think in a better mindset about it, to think clearer, to be less confused about all this. Thanks again!:smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Hm, still figuring things outā€¦ but i hope and think it can only get better than before!

:joy::joy:he does, and also kinda scared of his ā€˜badā€™ bandmatesā€¦

I feel the samešŸ‘

This is amazing!!!:heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:look at Brad and his guitar-i think i like him here the most, but everything looks great!

Sounds nice!:heart_eyes::partying_face: iā€™m gonna do something similar probably, my bf and i planned a picnic in the park where we found this really nice place under some trees(it became kind of our ā€œstammplatzā€ since the virus is going aroundā€‹:joy::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:), so looking forward to that!

Always love your encouraging words!:heart::heart::heart::muscle::muscle::muscle::hugs::hugs: stay strong!!!

Interesting and meaningful.
Speaking of suicide awareness, i noticed something good: apparently the bavarian health ministry(i think) started spreading awareness in public around depression&mental health, i heard them speaking about it on the radio, encouraging people to reach out and to not be ashamed of it and so on.:blush:

@Audrina87 i am so sorry to hear this. All the soldiers will always be here for you and with you!:heart::heart::heart::hugs:
And i find it totally normal that you prefer being by yourself after those experiencesā€¦ we are humans and nobody could go through this without feeling hurt and changing the way weā€™re acting. I hope you donā€™t label yourself as a weirdo because of thatā€¦:kissing_heart::kissing_heart:because unfortunately we not only tend to judge others but also ourselves. Sending you maaaaanyy squishies!!!:hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs::hugs:

I really like this sentenceā€‹:blush:and welcome!:hugs::hugs::hugs:

Aawww that sounds amazing!:heart_eyes: good to hear you had a great time! Hope this week will go well for you tooā€‹:hugs:

Thanks Linkenli, glad to have a friends like you. :smiley:

Yeah yeah yeahā€¦ Thanks again, BTW i checked all of your messages (secretly :laughing:) on gmail but there is a problem, i canā€™t send any messages using gmail. Also
if anyone who are using LP Forum on desktop then please tell me if you receives any notification of this Forum if it is not loaded in any browerā€™s tab.

WOWOW this is amazing, i liked this one. I think this was the reason why mike didnā€™t want to make another album which sounds like HT or Meteora and people would call it ā€œHybrid Theory 3.0ā€ and yeah the reason why people consider Meteora as hybrid theory 2.0
I donā€™t care what others said, i think, each album has different sound and different aspect and yeah i like every one of them (including those ones too which they didnā€™t released)
Thanks for the explanation Zanybelle, Really Appreciated.

I didnā€™t know about QWERTY live performance until i watched the live performance of LP in london (2006).
Also, If you listen the song (the live one) then it is like slipknot style and chester was damnnn amazing man. I really wanted chester and corey taylor collab. but sadly we only get this in our imagination.

Iā€™m stealing it, thanks :smiley:

OT
Today would be my last day, if life goes as planned. I have worked 2 weeks down south in the Eifel and 3 weeks on the island. 38 days all together.
And now? No end in sight.
I decided to give me more special treat, invest in more expensive food.
And take it, as it comes.
I do love this island and especially those sheep :heart_eyes:

This is nice to hear. I really find music lifts my mood too or helps me process when Iā€™m feeling down. I just love that energy. One of my first threads posted here was about music being ā€œenergyā€! Your English is perfect. Everyone on here writes so well I always forget itā€™s not everyoneā€™s main language. Glad that you can practice with us :hugs: Actually I love halloumi on a BBQ! Itā€™s the best thing Iā€™ve tasted :yum:

Good WEP and this song is awesome. It is one of the more uplifting because it does feel very much about letting go and know people will get what they deserve. Mostly I love the drum/electric guitar intro. However, I hardly voted for this song on acemasters thread :flushed:

I can relate to nightmares like theseā€¦ and I would say thereā€™s an underlying anxiety in your past. Even though you may not think about it consciously, it remains unresolved. The real question is how to resolve something you canā€™t change anymore? One way could be to write about your experiences as though it is happening to a fictional character. Describe your emotions and memories, and most importantly write an ending. If you donā€™t fancy this, talking to someone who can help you process your past will help. It may help you understand why you found yourself in this relationship but also how to move on from the memories, because thatā€™s all they are now - memories. They canā€™t hurt you now and everything you do now can be positive, always believe that. Archie is so cute! :grinning:

@ShanonPark Welcome to the forum, we hope to hear more from you here and tells us something about yourself!

Iā€™m doing well to avoid people and I still feel uncomfortable about being around groups although many people think this is now fine. Itā€™s disturbing people can so easily forget what damage they are doing by interacting needlessly. Especially knowing people couldnā€™t even see their loved ones before they died only a few weeks ago. The government has ruined this by allowing the rules to be broken. Perhaps they want a second wave. It seems to be questionable behaviour and as I say, vote for the wrong people and they will destroy you in ways you cannot even imagine.

Great picture Anna! :heart: I always think of Chesterā€™s part in the movie Saw 3D because it has my favourite quote: ā€œYouā€™ve judged others by the color of their skin and today, Evan, you will learn that we are all the same color on the inside.ā€

This I said about OML only. However, lately I thought on what @HakManLP said about this album being more ā€œpersonalā€ and I can see that a bit now so really he changed my thinking. Shocking, I know. However, the musical style is still too industry specific - I mean Stormzy is cool but please Linkin Park had a million times better rapping on Reanimation so why dumb it down! :weary:

Happy to help anytime :slightly_smiling_face: keep us updated on how youā€™re doing.

I donā€™t know if he/them could. They were very emotionally draining albums for the band and written mostly before they became popular. I think MTM was purposely political because they really had something to say about what was happening in America at the time - itā€™s not any better now! Then ATS was about a nuclear war, death to humanity type story and experimental. Living Things was a bit more Linkin Park in realness of emotion, and THP was a pure rock release! If they could have done anything close to Hybrid Theory or even Reanimation they wouldnā€™t have made OML. Unfortunately the band was so disjointed by this stage, everyone had side projects, family, general busyness they couldnā€™t connect to create anything as raw and unforgettable as HT or M. Hence OML is outsourced to third party writers. I donā€™t believe creating something like HT would have been as easy as people think. Sadly weā€™ll never get anything like this now without Chester.

@lpfan61 :hugs: powerful hug back!
