I went to church today, and the sermon was about this high school teacher, who on the last day of school (I think), brought in a rucksack. He handed out blank index cards, and he placed one on each students desk. He told them to write down what is weighing them down, bothering the most. He only had a few rules and they were:
Be entirely honest
Be serious, no jokes or memes
And don’t write your name, it must stay anonymous.
He told them to write down the thing that keeps them up at 3 in the morning. The thing whether good or bad that you cannot stop thinking about. So they did, and they folded the index cards and put them in the rucksack one at a time. And when they were done, the teacher mixed up the rucksack and pulled the first one out, so that everyone could help carry the weight of this burden. The first one read “My dad lost his job a month ago. Now he just sits in his car in a parking lot thinking. I fear we will lose our house”. Once the teacher had started talking, there was total silence. There were no glances to guess who had wrote what they did. Everyone listened. He pulled the next one: “I have to carry Narcan in my backpack everyday now. I found my mom blue and near lifeless when I came home from school a week ago. I had to save her life”. The classroom’s silence was undisturbed. It felt so solemn. And the next read: “Anytime I go to a movie theater or closed building, I have to check the exit door, in case a shooter appears (I assume this person is in a minority but it is not stated)”. Finally the last one read “I do not want to be here anymore. I am only looking for a sign that I am needed”. There were a few minutes of silence, and finally the school bell rang. And slowly everyone got up to file out of the classroom, and as they passed the rucksack filled with their burdens each student voluntarily patted it, acknowledging what they had heard was weighing down everyone else.

I found this to be pretty deep honestly. It kinda humbled me in a way, because we are ALL so blessed to be where we are now, even if you don’t think much of it. The message in the end was “Be kind to everyone, for you do not know what weighs them down”.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
God loves you. 🫶

@GooXy I second this. You could have a corner in your room shelves of books and things you like

@jujub_811

@Yanderemenhera I think it was suprisingly very calmly resolved

Love wolf cuts

@Yanderemenhera I’m not a vip </3. If someone could hook me up tho…

I say keep making your jewelry, but you could either disclose your intent or in this case, I would say it’s safe to assume that they don’t support that and just pick a different color . Assumptions aren’t always a bad thing. Nothing to lose by playing it safe. You should post a photo of what you make when you get a chance, I’d be interested in seeing it

@_Izzy_ yeah, and I understand. Not saying that yandere is doing this, but people and big brands were kinda were shoving the lgbt thing down our throats during covid. I don’t want to derail, but this is absolutely something that can’t be dismissed. Like for example: From 2021-2023, The NFL temporarily changed its shield logo into rainbow colors for Pride. ALL 32 teams’ logos were ALSO shown in rainbow versions on social media. That’s all I have to say about this.

@_Izzy_ Expression is not disrespectful, but intentionally pushing your views in a place where there is the good possibility of someone not wanting to associate with that is. I think it’s just about being mindful of context. Why can’t we keep space for our own beliefs while also respecting others’? Everyone should have the freedom to live how they choose, just like the LG community wants that same freedom for themselves.

Okay, I can help. Is your switch a gen 1 or gen 2 (gen 1 model is HAC-001 and gen 2 model is HAC-001(-01) )? Switch, switch lite, or switch 2?

Yeah I’d say it’s not as much the colors as it is the intention. Not saying people shouldn’t express themselves, just that doing it in a place you know opposes it feels more like stirring the pot than anything. It’s kinda like putting metal music on blast in a library; you know it’s not the place for it, so it feels more like provoking than just expressing yourself. That’s just my opinion as a Christian.

You just gotta keep posting and you’ll unlock it very soon

@Shrub 🥺

Pretty sure posts about weapons aren’t allowed

Hey man

I have had an Australian shepherd, golden retriever, and cavalier King Charles spaniel. I liked the Aussie but he was very temperamental. If I were to get a dog, it would probably be an English Cream Retriever, they look so sweet.

@KiwiFarmsArkavel bro it has happened tons of times in the past month lmao

@Nonbinary_wolf yeah
