  • Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cross stitch, etc. The work is meditative, and you get in a groove waiting to see what the next row or stitches will look like. Producing an object feels productive, and gives a feeling of accomplishment.

    Choose bright colors and fun patterns, and it’s a lot of fun. There are patterns for all interests, so don’t think this is the realm of only little old ladies. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    Amen. And he got screwed from the Reddit api fiasco. If i remember correctly he was on the hook for as much as $250k in refunds because he’s had to shut the app down and refund subscribers.

    The guy has to make a living, so I don’t begrudge him that one bit.







  • Something I took a long time to learn is “Don’t borrow trouble.” You’ll run into plenty of problems throughout your life, so there’s no need to expend energy on those that haven’t happened yet. Yeah, I know that’s easier said than done. :)

    Remember that you are smart and capable. You can handle whatever life throws your way, and life has a funny habit of surprising us. What you’re worried about often doesn’t happen, but other surprises do come along, both good and bad. You can do your best to prepare, but the reality is that you’ll face things you don’t feel prepared for, and you’ll be OK.

    You may love the job, or you may hate it, but you will probably hate the fact that you gave up the opportunity if you don’t go. Being apart may make you a stronger couple, or it may make one or both of you realize you want to move on. That could happen regardless of where you are, even if you stay physically together. You have a wonderful opportunity, and I encourage you to take it.
