$140 worth of bordom and I still can't walk right

To those of you good people who don't really care about the topic of this thread (but care about beating a dead horse / investing emotionally / putting out stress) :

Just don't post then ! ... not too hard to understand, is it ?

The topic is about getting the toes tattoed.

Take it to your heart ... thanks.

 

And who asked you to play junior mod?

 

This is a response to Dave. I had said before it was my last post but continued to write. This WILL be my last post. You mentioned this being funny because I had invested emotionally in it. Well yes, I have invested in it. I have been a very bad alcoholic for years. I have been sober 7 days today. For the past three years I did not one thing that made me happy, smile, feel good about myself etc. I have to relearn how to feel essentially. Also I feel my character is particularily weak due to me breaking it with booze. The end result being me investing emotionally in 'stupid' things I don't expect others to like or care about really. Two days ago I got my toes tattooed. That day I laughed, smiled, felt pain, joy, and even a little bit of pride I had actually made myself do it and I enjoyed the end result. I had a great day. I felt like sharing my news here, as at this point in my life this is my only outlet. You had also mentioned it being stupid and the topic being 'unimportant'. When posting it was never my intention for my new tattoos to seem important to others. I simply was wondering if anyone else had any similar experiences and what they had done..tattoo wise. You have neither and I'm still unsure what your reason for being here was other than putting me in my place. I do not expect you to care about the above. I just felt it neccessary for me to post this because sadly I lost a good amount of sleep last night over it. The only purpose of this reply is to clear my head for myself, it is not to defend myself or to argue with you. I had found happiness in a way you thought was particularilly stupid. I am no longer offended, I am just confused at your intentions. Making fun of or trying to ruin the happiness of a stranger is just a foreign idea to me. Personally I prefer sharing with and trying to help or encourage others. But we cannot all be the same. All this just to say I did take it personally, and although you think I should 'get over it' it is not that easy for everyone to just get over it. I had invested time, money, and happiness into something you felt neccessary to beat to death. Anyways as I said this will be my last post, and I'm more than certain this thread is dead, not that it matters. So, I'm done now. There's one more for 'you guys' congratulations. Peace and Love

 

I think he means "in this thread "

 

If you take what someone on the internet says to heart, you've got some issues you really really need to work out. Not to mention, Random Thoughts might not be the forum for you, if you are that sensitive. Dave_techie still lives with his parents and is a virgin for God's sakes, lol, not that there's anything wrong with it, but hell, none of us are walking perfection or images of total happiness (except maybe Hippychickmommy...lol). If you like your toe tattoos, then good for you, but damn, losing sleep over what someone you don't even know says? Maybe you don't need to be posting here, maybe you need to be working on your self-confidence in the real world.

 

OP really should go back to drinking.

 

lunarverse,

maybe you want to consider that the others can not ruin your happiness. All they can do is try to ruin your thread - at least for a while.

Ruining another's thread, of course, may come across like it's done out of bad intent. The reasons behind it may be many - BUT again, you don't have to take it personal, no matter how much you have invested.

This is just my two pennies. Stay around if you want ... try some more, talk to different people, visit the other forums, and just take a deep breath ... May you walk away happily - happier than you seem right now.

And thank you for sharing your journey.

I think the OP was being sarcastic.

Really, $140 to get your toes tattooed?

 

Ten toes, ten tattoos, $14 a tattoo...seems reasonable to me.
