@MYSTERYMAN do all contraceptive methods count, including ones based on technique rather than equipment/medication (e.g. rhythm / periodic abstinence, pullout / coitus interruptus, non-PIV sex acts etc.), and including ones that primarily involve actions by the partner rather than him (e.g. IUD, implant, injection, tube-tying etc.)?

@TheAllMemeingEye my current sex partner just got a IUD so want to know how to resolve this.

@TheWabiSabi Bucharest is a great place to have sex ;)

@TheWabiSabi next do it in Fucking in Austria to fulfil nominative determinism

@TheAllMemeingEye interesting...

@MYSTERYMAN checking, you mean me using a contraceptive, or me or my partner?

@TheWabiSabi thinking about London in August

@TheWabiSabi I'm actuality trying to win a giveaway at this point :p

@100Anonymous took some time to resolve this one...

Lately, I’ve been wondering if I’m happy. Not the loud kind of happy, not the fireworks or the holiday kind. But something quieter. A soft, steady hum underneath the noise of daily life. And strangely, despite the chaos and the grief and the strange, sharp edges of the world, I think the answer might be yes.

Yes, I think I might be happy.

Not because everything is perfect. It isn’t. The world breaks in a thousand places every day. I’ve seen it break in others, and I’ve seen it break in me. But even then, when I wake up, I look forward to the day. I feel the sun on my face and the air in my lungs, and somewhere in that simplicity, I feel alive. I feel ready.

Maybe it’s because I’ve stopped waiting for peace to come after the storm. Maybe I’ve started finding it within the storm.

In the Buddhist sense, I’ve come to see that suffering is part of the deal; impermanence, craving, attachment. But also, there’s awareness. There’s breath. There’s letting go. And in that letting go, I’ve found something that feels a lot like freedom. A kind of happiness that doesn’t shout. It just is.

So yes. I think I might be happy.

Even with all of it. Especially with all of it. ❤️

@HocusPocus never sued anyone in my life (for context)

@TheWabiSabi just finished Siddhartha 3/3

@TheWabiSabi Think this should be lower, life is to expensive for weddings ;)

@TheWabiSabi not all weddings have to be expensive though

@TheAllMemeingEye true but less expensive weddings are usually smaller

@TheWabiSabi I'm now around 74.3

@TheWabiSabi Was looking into the Switch 2, but way to expensive at this point.

@TheWabiSabi Still on the fence for this one... not sure if it's smart.

@TheWabiSabi next session in 4~5 weeks, probably my last one for now :)

@TheWabiSabi Searching for work is the worst... But I have a feeling we're getting close! I've progressed quite far in the recruitment process as a project manager for an IT company.

@TheWabiSabi end of this month going to Romania with a girlfriend, this should be higher I think :)

@TheWabiSabi today we have a second conversation at a potential workplace. Wish me luck.

@TheWabiSabi finished an audio book but because it says reading I will not count this one as reading a book.

@TheWabiSabi first one: 4-AcO-MET (or Metacetin)

@TheWabiSabi check with a friend about a possible date to attend one. She is still in doubt, but I feel the one is too low right now.

@121 actually been a while but this pushed me :)
