The best thing I’ve done ( to "...get rid of the MAGA nonsense and move forward.") is creating real life friendships with people who voted for Trump.... I’m loving you and your vulnerability sharing this. Celebrating with you!
Failing to Learn to Drive
After I got my learner’s permit, my mom took me to a large parking lot near our house to teach me how to drive. She had a manual car, because that’s what she learned back in Uruguay and she liked it better.... - Benzi...

I discovered this video last month with Jacob Collier and Chris Martin. I was touched by the respect and friendship that Jacob and Chris have and how Jacob invites the audience to participate. It felt quite wholesome.... I was with a group of dear friends who are quite liberal and mentioned how much I was enjoying Robert Galbraith’s (aka J.K. Rowling’s) murder mysteries. No time was spent on the novels and it immediately became a "ripping Rowling" rant related to her views on trans vs biology.... - renee...
I like Andy so much that I want to see him once a month. 😂😂😂 Hilarious! Language is so fun.

Hey y'all, This week nations are bombing each other on one front, and playing each other in the World Cup on another. Has me contemplating this spectrum of enemy to ally, and where and how that's changed in my personal life.... I concur two wings of a predator bird at the moment. It would be wise to keep your friends list on rotation, trimming the grass and removing the snakes also so you can see your friends clearer through less of a crowd..... - onHow can I share my art in ways that feel authentic, healing, and resonant rather than transactional?

I, personally, try not to dwell on the fact I'm not longer s part of the "inner" circle. And a lot of how one handles the emotional loss is WHY the separation in the first place. If its due to proximity, today, there are such wonderful ways to remain involved and close.... The open question Aug 12: How do you make friends?
Hey y'all, This week's open question: How do you make friends? (and can you do it on uptrust?) How do you make friends online? (I don't think I have, which is perhaps ironic as one of the creators of UpTrust) How did you closest friends go from someone your recognize to friend?... - onWhat’s your experience of getting “the ick”? What has triggered it? When has it been overcomeable versus not? by
hmm i think i trained myself early to mostly trust "the ick" and I just move away from that person/situation as quickly and quietly as possible. Unless there's a direct violation of some sort of ethical code in me, in which case I confront the person directly.... - PoetBill...
Reflecting upon my 70 years on this planet. The tough times and my mental health issues (bipolar and anxiety) have made me stronger. I have a number of close friends which enrich my life. I have enough income for the basics and for enjoyment as well as savings.... - Ambiguously...

We have a terrible habit of expecting others to act as we do. That's not a mental health issue for the other person. I'm not sure it's a mental health issue for anyone having these feelings.... - onHi! My name is Michelle, and I live in Ohio. Trying this out to see what it entails. I was sent a question that said what and who do you trust to help unpack things???? For Mr, my circle is very small, so I’m not sure to trust anymore!!!bySassiebrat67...
