/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

tfw mod deletes a good positive feel thread
fuck you mod

>tfw preemptively gave up on music when i was 19 to save myself from a lifetime of poverty
>probably going to end up as an accountant now

>>37488567
I'd rather make 20k a year as a musician than 200k as an accountant.

>>37488511
>You will never be a trust fund kid
>You will never inherit a shitload of money from parents and never have to work a day
Fuck my life

>>37488609

Then you're a goddamned idiot.

>>37488609
why? money is the only thing that matters, job satisfaction etc etc are just illusions and no matter what you do you'll end up hating it eventually guaranteed, it's just a matter of how long it takes

>>37488609
LOL retard

>>37488511
>tfw The only thing I'm worried about as musician is where I put my records, get good piece of jerkey.

I would love to be in band touring with people that are just as passionate as you are about music

>tfw slim chance of that happening
>tfw I want it so bad, and I have to make music cause If I don't I get nervous and panicky

>>37488650
i fucking hate this feel man

i am taking out a shitload of student loans though to fulfill my fantasy for a couple years and then maybe i'll off myself after learning about the highlife

>>37488683
>job satisfaction etc etc are just illusions
>>37488661
>>37488700
Nah. Making music is much more satisfying and fun plus you can rake in tons of cash from concerts.

>>37488739
wow it all sounds so easy thank you for showing me the error of my ways ill just play concerts of course

>>37488717
>>37488717
Dude I'll start a band with you. What kind of music do you want to make?

I can play guitar, drums, bass, a little piano and sing

>>37488609
Good for you

>>37488683
Or perhaps you're just depressed.

>>37488766
Sounds like your music was shit and you gave up. Obviously you would rather be a musician than an accountant.

>>37488739

>plus you can rake in tons of cash from concerts.

>>37488719

>i am taking out a shitload of student loans

Wow, /mu/ is exceptionally retarded tonight.

>I don't know how I'll leave this place

suicide always seems like the way to go instead of you know, actually trying at anything

>tfw you realize your dream girl is a futa Dom with a 10 inch monster cock
>tfw you will never deep throat her cock
>tfw she will never make fun of your small dick

I've never felt like doing a guy so I know I'm not gay, but given how little futas there are IRL this makes me sad

>>37488768
music that stretches the modern genre's so thin it cannot be categorized by any modern terms.

Music that is before and everything after it. I want to combine Western Art Classical music, with Rock and Electronic in ways that haven't been done before. I want somebody to say after he listens to my music, "Yeah, that guy, he feels greatly.

>tfw you will never be a musical genius like Debussy, Brian Wilson, Robert Schumann, Doug Martsch, Beethoven, Handel, Paul Westerberg, Or Klaus Schulze and the rest of the Krautrockers

>>37488982
>tfw trying at life only makes it that much harder to come to terms with your death when it's your time
>tfw why bother

>>37488567
I'm your same age getting an accounting degree. I've been working in accounting positions for a year.

I started making music in November 2012, I was bored one day and started toying with my old guitar I rarely used and Guitar Rig 5 (music software).

My job really started feeling like shit. There were small periods of time (3 weeks at MOST) where I just didn't want to practice or make music at all because I was uninspired from the depression.

Then I just changed jobs and my new job really killed all hope for me. Went from a place where my job was shit but everyone was friendly to a place with a very hostile environment where my job was still shit. Then I just stopped making music for 3 fucking months and started back yesterday.

I regret all major decisions I've done within the last 3 years.

Most of the time you graduate from school and try to get into a good university to get a fancy STEM or any other crap that YOU think will guarantee you money, but then you get a job and you realize money is fucking worthless.

I wish I could go back in time and study music, it's what I actually enjoy in life.

>>37488850
but he loves you anon. you piece of shit.

>>37488850
its cute how he likes the weather and says he loves you

>>37488850
I hope this is an elaborate trick

>>37488850
this makes me so fucking sad. my dad is a redneck trucker too and i only get to see him like three days a week but he loves you anon, at least let him know you don't hate him.

>>37488850
>Being an asshole on ur dad
>Yet you still live off / with him
What a pathetic faggot you are.

>>37489291
i mean your dad loves you not mine. mine would probably think you're a piece of shit for being so mean to your dad

>>37489291
>tfw my dad held back tears when i gave him his Father's day card and it was really awkward

>tfw dad lives in singapore
>tfw he was going to come visit me but changed his mind at the last minute and went to paris with his new gf instead

o-ok dad, s-sorry i'm such a burden on y-you

>>37489340
>tfw i can tell it really makes my dad happy when i help him mow the lawn and stuff with him and stuff
>tfw i think my dad has been secretly depressed for a long time
>tfw my mom treats him like he's not a part of the family sometimes.

>>37489340
>tfw I figured out my dad cheated on my mom, and now its really awkward

I know that feel all too well OP. I dropped out of college last semester and now because I'm super depressed, and no matter what major I choose I'll never be satisfied. All I want to do is make music with passionate and talented people. Unfortunately I suck at playing instruments because I have ADD and everything is so fucking frustrating UGHHHHHHH.

>>37489444

>a long ass time ago
>taking a shower with my dad when I was in 3rd grade or something
>tfw his dick is like 8 inches or something because it's bigger than yours when you're hard and he was soft

Sorry for messing up the genes dad

>tfw 10 years ago I was happy, playing Wind Waker, mario, super smash bros., going outside playing with friends, and letting our imaginations run wild like Horses of the spirit realm
>tfw I would've never imagined being a lazy unemployed piece of shit back in 2003

>tfw dad left family when I was few months old for another pregnant women and stayed with the kid there
>tfw I regularly see my stepbrother who's practically the same age as me

>In High School, get put in classes separate from your friends/peer niche because the school thought it'd be better that way
>Classes are full of sheltered minorities
>Never talk, sometimes get mocked, one time get full on bullied
>During lunch, pretend to my friends that things are fine and nothing is happening, hoping that they haven't heard how I'm treated in classes they are not in
>Almost 5 years later, I still bump into some of those kids in those classes on rare occasions, I never know it till they say my name because I don't remember them, but they remember me

Apathy and betaness is a terrible mix.

>>37489621

>>37488850
why didn't you reply to him on his 2nd text? i used to live with my dad for a little bit after college and we both had a really awesome time. we're both pretty lonely people but when we lived together we had a lot of fun and really connected. I moved out, got a job and got my own place,but I could tell he was sad to see me go and if it wasn't really stigmatized against we'd live together... fuck you, you make me miss living with my dad and it makes me feel really childish.

>tfw been trying to cure/repress my depersonalization/derealization disorder by trying to be as pleb as possible and not think for myself and just build a perception of reality/world view on whatever is thought to be true by majority if society

>tfw after about a year, it's sort of working really good, but I kind of miss being lost in the world and not knowing down from up and having to critically think about reality and getting really meta

Being normalfag is a lot more stressful and unenjoyable than I thought it would be.

>>37490146
I think I might have some derealization disorder. I always feel like I'm stuck in a literal loop. Like all of my movements match this pattern that doesn't really change, ever. It doesn't bother me that much anymore, but sometimes it gets kinda silly and I can't really concentrate on anything besides it.

What does money buy you? Things that make you happy right?

Why not just skip a step and just do whatever makes you happy?
You can't buy musical talent
You can't buy the feeling you get when you play a great show
You can't buy the feeling you get when you make people cry or laugh with nothing but your art

>>37490191
I like it to be honest. When mine first really got triggered and started having attacks and chronic DP, I hated it. I felt like my life had been ruined for good and I'd never be able to enjoy life ever again because I kept having bizarre worries and obsessions about the nature of reality. But really, DP is chill as fuck. It shuts off the part of your brain that romanticizing reality, and allows you to think more clearly about things. Make less emotion-driven decisions.

It also helped me with the creative sides to life because you kind of lose that conditioned thinking/social construct way of seeing yourself. You lose your inhibitions because you really stop taking life so seriously, and you're less afraid of fucking up or embarrassing yourself.

>tfw you dont know what its like to like someone anymore

its been so long, i want to feel affection toward someone

>>37490417
all you have to do is try. you know you haven't, either. thought it'd just all fall in your lap?

>>37490366
Money let's you live a stable life, 99% of the time you aren't going to be paying the mortgage on time of you only rely on music

>tfw she was just so beautiful I couldn't fathom her being remotely interested in me

>tfw kick myself every day for not trying to talk to her

>>37490462
If you're smart you can do it

>>37490493
Note that I said mortgage not apartment, if you really want to live in a studio apartment by yourself your entire life making 20k a year then go for it

>tfw found out today that this gay guy you met once has a huge crush on you

>>37490460
its not that i dont try, i flirt and shit, its just so forced from my end, no matter who it is, and i keep going forward and i go on dates, but i just dont feel anything, its so superficial and almost platonic

>>37490556
And soon
there will be nobody
That will want to fall in love
with me

>>37490392
i agree with literally everything you said. I used to think that the whole 'pattern thing' was going to ruin my life but all it really did was allow me to take a lot less seriously and really focus on the things that are important to me. however the flip side of that is that i have far less friends and dont go out much. but that doesnt even remotely bother me anymore, i just know its something thats changed.

>tfw kissed her for the first time

>>37490549
there's someone out there that feels the same. you'd be surprised how many girls think that same way. all comes down to being good looking, though, afraid to say

>>37490462
If one only really needs their passion, and in this case it's music, then one could seriously just buy a little old trailer, some dirt cheap rough land, and get on with life like that.

One could even live out in Slab City. They have a music scene out there, so it's perfect.


Seriously, guys, follow your dreams. No matter what. If not, then what's the point of getting out of bed?

>tfw plans to do acid fell through after i had been psyching myself up for it for a week

>>37490556
im not growing up, im just getting more responsibility and money basically

i have all the inspiration and jubilation i used to, its just being supressed by my lack of funds, and now that i have funds its being surpressed by my family giving me shit for not working enough hours or having days off while they work

>>37490624
yeah im a 7/10 at the best, idk, maybe im being too hard on myself, but ive never had people come up to me based on looks alone

>tfw joining a drum corps got your ass back on track

>>37490742
Are you on drumline or hornline? thats pretty cool what corp?

>tfw no gf ever
>19 years into life

Man I fucked up so hard spending all of my time on 4chan in high school instead of talking to girls, I'm so behind now

>>37490724
Doing acid is great with 'tripping buddies' and 'tripping conversation' with somebody who understands your thought process is an experience I wish on everybody. its great. however, the best time i've ever had on acid was when i went off and did it by myself and wandered out into the woods and then came back hours later. it made me feel like a shaman, like i was going out to find out things and it was my job to do so and no one was going to hold me back..


tl;dr: do it by yourself

>>37490724
Why do you want to do it? Are you depressed, because if so, it might not be a good idea to do some acid. Not speaking from experience, just what I heard. You want a healthy happy positive temperament before you try acid.

>>37490724
That's better, you should never be psyched up for it, it kinda ruins the experience

>>37490774
Troopers lead trumpet. Everything feels so real now. I've never worked this hard in my life, and at the same time I've never experienced this much social interaction. It's good for me. It's literally peeling away at my social anxiety.

Dude, you gotta get out there. Forget BD. Get into a top 12 corps and you'll still feel great. There's always a nice group that needs members. My original plan was playing mello for Crown this year, and I got cut. Don't let your age or talent level stop you from going on tour. if you truly love playing, going to a Spirit of Atlanta or a Crossmen or a Blue Stars should be but a minor inconvenience.

>>37491275
Well they had talked before the match and he decided he wanted him to throw him off. The match also went on long after that. He climbed back up, got thrown through the top of the cage into the ring, then later got thrown onto a pile of thumbtacks twice.

ugh. iktf too well bro

>tfw stuck in a shit life at community college
>tfw things just aren't the same anymore
>tfw all friends are becoming successful than me and are moving on in life

I'm pretty sure girls don't like me because I have the build of a tall girl, I'm boring as shit, and I don't like to talk a lot in public.

Oh well, only 3 more years of college until I can become an unemployed piece of shit and single forever

>tfw girl at work might be feelin me

We had a nice conversation about how we have the same car. She was smiling and stuff, that's good right? I'm probably just deluding myself by reading too much into it. I'm sure I'll overhear her mention her boyfriend to someone else and then the feels will hit me. Just like every other time.

>>37491418
Holy fuck, me too.

How are you even suppose to live up to that? Even if you are seriously a funny person, you can't just start trying to make the person you just met laugh without coming off as a serious chut. What the fuck am I suppose to do? Start trying to tell them stand up jokes? What the fuck?

Making someone laugh takes a little bonding and getting to know eachother first. Then you sort of understand how they work and can tinker with their funny bone easier.

>>37491418
Jesus I hate that shit, I'm honestly just going to cut back hard on jokes next semester

i dont know what you mean... i just dont know what to do about it. i think we're just fuckbuddies but i dont know. i was really drunk and i asked her what she was getting out of all of this and there was nothing sexual about her response. just i like you. something like that. but its literally been going on for less than a month now. maybe three or so weeks. i dont really fall for people very hard, like i said i havent really felt anything for anyone in a long time. shes different...

>>37491552
Girls like me all the time but when it's happening my inferiority complex never allows me to believe it. Girls sometimes give me seriously obvious signs that they're curious about me and want to get to know me better, but I shut them down because I'm afraid of getting hurt feelings such as embarrassment.

you probably wouldn't want to be a musician in this day and age, considering you would be pretty much forced to go on tour and perform live a lot more to make any money at all. too bad we aren't in the '90s where you could sell a reasonably huge load of CD's for income and sit on your ass all day.

"don't change who you ARE" is great advice, unless you, as a human being, ARE incontent.

this is not advice to make you "a better person" whatever that means exactly, but advice to make you happier:

just talk to people. find people with a common interest, like, i love adventure time, so i tend to get along well with adventure time fans, same goes for music i like

have you had that experience? meeting someone who likes the same thing you do and whatever part of you that likes that thing is in them too? that's where friends come from

>>37491827
Call your neighbor and ask if he hears screaming.

>>37491827
Go outside and look, guy.

>>37491872
it's almost midnight. It has stopped now.

>>37491911
I went on my patio and tried to look for something with a big flashlight but I couldn't see anything

>>37491844
>hey anon what shows do you watch?
>nothing really
>what's your favorite video game?
>I don't play them
>what's your favorite band?
>it's too hard to list an absolute favorite

I'm never going through that again

>>37491946
well then don't do that to yourself again, lol

>what shows do you watch
>this is what show i watch
>that's cool/never heard of it, what's it about?

OR

>nothing really. what shows do you watch?

guys do I have potential ;_;

>>37488850

Be nice to your dad, he obviously loves you a lot despite the fact that you are a fucking ungrateful little faggot. You will also end up just like him when you are older.

>>37491979
I don't care about TV shows though so asking that would be silly

>>37492025
>You will also end up just like him when you are older.

Fuck that. I don't want this.

>>37492040
>literal autism

>>37492012
sounds like it. keep at it and start being more deliberate in the sounds you use. :)

>>37491946
Well just make a dedicated top 3 for conversation only. Doesn't even need to be 100% true. And keep it as pleb as you can to increase the chance of a connection and to not expose your power level too soon.

>>37492040

alright look faggot

you are unhappy? yes? y/n

>>37492056
What's autistic about it? I don't care about shows so that's obvious not going to be a common interest

>>37491686
I feel like this, though I've been going for around 4 years. I have around 60 songs so far, and I really think my stuff is good. Only problem is I can't sing. It's fucking frustrating, because I have all this music and recording equipment (I'm studying to be a recording engineer) so if I could just fucking sing I could start recording right now. I'm trying to learn to sing, but it's confusing. It's hard to figure out if there is any sort of accepted standard for how to learn to sing. Everybody says something different.

Any singers here that can help? I've been doing that Singing Success program, which I torrented. I feel like it's a bit of a scam, but it's basically just scales organized onto CDs so I don't think I can go too wrong with it. I'm trying read up on vocal pedagogy to try and develop my own practice routine, but it's difficulty to trust that the scales I pick are the right ones. The book I'm getting scales from is The Structure of Singing by Richard Miller, by the way.

>>37492040
but you should care about what tv shows they watch if you're going to be friends with them. It's hard not to like someone who takes interest in you.

>>37492084
No, I have friends but I don't know why they hang out with me. I'm a dick

>>37492077
>tfw I ensnare nerdy boys by exposing my power level as soon as possible
the glow in an autist's eyes when i namedrop joss whedon or dnd is my lifeforce

>>37492108

no video can teach you to sing

go find a vocal coach. being involved in theatre, i've heard the difference between an untrained and trained singer, and it's incredible

>tfw want to be a musician but too afraid of parents and being poor and dropping out of the career I already started and being an uncultured ignorant in everything except music

Hold me /mu/

>tfw after working out

>>37492123
i hate women like you. but i always end up falling for you bitches

>>37492123
Enjoy those low power level fedoras lol

>Joss
>good

>>37492120

i'm gonna ask you one more time and then i'm done, you got me?

i asked you if you were unhappy. you said "no, but a very important part of my life is shitty"

not even "yes, but"


are you happy or are you not happy? generally

>>37492169
You're confusing me with another anon bro

>tfw I want to die, but not by my own hands
>tfw the person i cared about most won't acknowledge we had anything
>tfw I thought I could make an escape in music, but it only showed how incapable I am of accomplishing anything.

I bet you think 4E is good smh grrl gamer

>>37492135
holy shit man today was leg day and I went too hard you dont even know

>>37492206
20k a year is like minimum wage here

>tfw musician with tiny following
>tfw only done one show
>tfw no scene here for what i do
>online people tell me my music is amazing all the time
>tfw still in HS
all i want to do is make music because i know im good at it and people tell me i could probably make a living doing this but i feel like its too far fetched even though there's nothing else i want to do with my life atm and im still in hs and oh god what am i even doing dont ban me please

>>37492215
4E is good for new players who want to pick up the game quickly and easily, plus the wotc character generator is awesome
honestly I'm pretty excited about the whole dnd next stuff, it's an interesting approach to character building and gameplay

>tfw I just found my 3ds stylus

>>37492128
Yeah, I understand that. It's just that I don't want to be an amazing singer, I just want to be at least okay. I mean I can sing on pitch, I have okay vibrato, I think I have good breath control and a fair range, it's just tone/resonance that I need to fix. I understand that I need a vocal coach to diagnose my vocal faults and instruct me on how to fix them. Maybe one day I'll just ball up and get a teacher, but for now I'm just going to hope maybe I get lucky and figure something out on my own.

God social anxiety just makes everything fucking harder. In a few days I have to call up my college to arrange an internship with this recording studio, and just anticipating that simple phone call is making me nervous.

>>37492212

eh i was looking to help him, i think he left

look, all i'm gonna say is, lots and lots of people are happy, which means if YOU are unhappy, you need to look to yourself, not others.

AND, if you are unhappy, then you have to change. nothing changes if... if nothing changes. does that make sense? the next time someone tries to be friendly, try to be friendly back. go ask people if they like whatever indie bands you're into

for example

>what bands do you like

you can choose to see the negative:
>I CAN'T PICK ANY SO FUCK YOU

or

you can say:
>i could never pick a favorite, but here's 5 i like

all you did was choose to be antisocial. you don't have to make that choice, though.

>>37492306
oh. :(

i see. well, i have no idea how to get better at THAT, lol. do your best though, good luck.

>>37492304
what's your town tune in animal crossing?

>>37492116
Man, I used to watch no TV or Movies which would alienate me form almost every conversation, and its not like people talk about new music coming out anyway.

I finally got around to watching every classic and acclaimed movie there is. All they talk about is TV shows now, and I just really don't like TV.

>>37492391
I do not own that game. Should I? I never played any of the animal crossing games.

>>37492304
>tfw still cant find my wacom stylus

help

>>37492426
it's very relaxing. casual gaming done right.

>>37492426
It's a really chill and colorful game.

>>37492526
/mu/, this is a feels thread so I'm feeling

>>37492239
You gotta be shitting me, in Mexico minimum wage is about 1200 dollars a year, not counting everything is way more expensive here and there's unreasonably huge taxes on pretty much anything you can think of, that's why I'm 22 and still live with my parents, any place I'd be able to rent with this kind of money would be somewhere where eventually in the absolute best scenario you'll just get robbed. This is getting me incredibly depressed.

>>37492452
>>37492454

A few of my friends have it, maybe I'll try playing theirs. I only got my 3ds in anticipation of X/Y and Phoenix Wright 5

>>37492472

Good on you m8

>>37490952
AND IT'S THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL

>>37492576

you could always move to the USA

oh what am i saying that could get you killed nm

>>37492576
Shit I make 1200 a month and my job is considered low paying

>>37492607

don't worry, I don't look mexican and I speak fluent english, you'd never notice

>>37491350
Mankind was my favorite fucking wrestler.

He was no Rey Mysterio or Batista, he fucking sucked.

But he was a damn good entertainer

>>37492648

Any decent apartment's rent costs about as much as you'd make on minimum wage here, imagine trying to pull off that shit, that's why we cross to your country and are willing to do pretty much anything for minimum wage, I hate this motherfucking country

>>37492791
Yeah, same. Ever read his first book? It's very good.

>>37490757
I'm seriously gonna cry over this... Shit, I miss you dad.

>>37492827
Everyone moves back because minimum wage life sucks. They can get a nice house If they save up enough and get a chill job.
Only thing I see expensive is electronics.

Mexico's nice if you have a good amount of pesos

>>37492873
>tfw I had a dream last night where my dad told me he was dying

I-it's just a dream right?

>>37492860
Was about to pick it up once. I got over rasslin after elementary but I'm gonna watch his matches for the nostalgia tonight

>>37492970
I used to think that too.

>>37493085
As far as I know he's doing alright though. I feel like he'd tell me if something were wrong. We're all dying if you think about it.

I'm not ready for these feels man

>>37492108
>learning to sing
just keep singing and you'll find your own style to it. thats what i did at least and while i dont sound good its not horrible. i pretty much did it so that i could record music. like everything i picked up. picked up guitar because i thought it would be nice. picked up a little singing because i thought it would sound nice with the guitar. picked up drums because i thought i qould like to diversify my sound and do that sort of thing. picked up piano because i thought it would sound good on a track
just do it yourself. i love natural and individual sounding things and i believe personally that they're often best developed through self perseverance

>>37493248
>tfw last night i dreamed that she and i kissed passionately for like a minute straight
>tfw i dont want to go to bed because i'll be disappointed that my dream can't ever be that good again
>tfw i dont want to stay awake and deal with the reality that we're just friends and she only maybe likes me and she's fucking another guy who she likes

i just want to lay next to her and listen to post rock or something relaxing

>>37493289
didnt mean to make that a reply. whoops>>37493248

>>37493300

y-you too

i wrote and recorded this today, but i've been seriously considering just giving up because i don't know if i can be bothered anymore
do i have any chance anyone?

>tfw have a dream that she's still alive and it was all just a misunderstanding or something and everythings fine
>wake up
>tfw

>>37493248
Yeah I get ya. I just want to make sure I'm going about things in the right way, I don't want to makes any bad singing habits even worse

>tfw work all day/night and all you have to show for it is kicking back at 4 AM, drinking a beer, and browsing /mu/ and listening to music

>>37493467
i dont know what you mean by bad singing habits, like with most things musically orintated its about how audibly pleasing it is if its not sounding good, you change or work on doing something that does, and how well you perform if you cant do something that you know will sound audibly pleasing work on a way to make it happen, change your breathing style, sing from your diaphragm etcetera

>>37493385
you have no chance

>>37493385

who cares, do what you love. But if it helps you've got a great top 40 voice that will probably on something like Dawson's Creek

>>37493448
shit

>>37493517
Well I mean there are many types of bad singing habits, there are many books just on the subject of vocal faults and methods of fixing them.

>>37493523
>
>>37493559
i do enjoy doing it so i guess thats what counts at the end of the day
thanks guy

>>37493385

lel, I keep pausing the first song and playing the one underneath and I can't even tell them apart.

>needs work, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying

>>37493516
i actually like this feel

>>37493617
Why do you have so many pictures of the girl from Screaming Females?

it has its ups and downs. thanks for replying, m8

>tfw she'd still be alive if it wasnt for me
>tfw keep blaming myself even though i know it wasnt really my fault

>>37493658
I have gifs too

>>37493646
yeah the one i did today is very generic because it was mainly for the vocals. like really basic chords. i just wanted to unload a little. because i feel like shit

>>37493673

story time. please.

>>37493670
working is good, anon. it sucks but it strengthens you and gives you perspective

>>37491810
>tfw every member of the family is on antidepressants

>>37492860
>mfw the entire match
10/10

Seriously that was insane. How did the Undertaker even get the que to keep going, foley looked out of it.

Any more like this?

>>37493673
elaborate please

>>37493676
Your pictures made me put on Castle Talk.

>>37493715
It pays for things and keeps my mind off shit. Fine with me.

>>37493761
we'll never meet or know each other, but i wish you the best in life.

>>37493729
>any more like this?
What, matches or gifs? If gifs then here's one

If matches, check out the "I quit" match between Mankind and the Rock. The Rock keeps hitting Mick with these brutal fucking chair shots, it's very dramatic. Especially because Mick and his wife/kids are in the audience, and they leave because the kids are going fucking nuts and crying.

>tfw the antidepressants aren't helping
>tfw it's been months since I've spoken to anyone other than my therapist
>tfw not sure I remember how to socialize
>tfw music doesn't give you the same enjoyment it used to

>>37493772
Any more matches? Imma be up watching them and this thread will die. Doesnt have to be with foley

>>37493776
please get back into society or you will die
you sound so much like me when i was a teenager its not funny

>>37493807
fuck. that's rough. it's not your fault anon.

>>37493830
The sad part is I'm not a teenager.

>>37493830

i'm guessing you didn't and died

>tfw life experience

>>37493825
Just good matches in general or crazy matches?

>>37493849
oh i've just moved on from there and my depression has eaten me alive so that im now just a husk of a person who doesnt really think about or care about anything :)
the development of life is a wonderful thing

>>37493869
The fuck? That's not the image I attached

I think that weird thing just happened where two people post at the exact same time and their images get swapped or something. Weird

>>37493869
Craziest, as crazy as the one I just watched. And then a few good ones to drift to sleep to

go to uni or whatever first, so you have something to fall back on.

wouldn't it be cool if some threat really WAS approaching
but you saved the day
wouldn't that be cool
wouldn't that

>>37493907
Hm.. I'm drawing a blank right now. Can't really think of any good matches to recommend. Here's a documentary on wrestling though:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4NHxEFnqo8

It's partly about Mick Foley and how him risking himself affects his family.

>>37494031
but i love you anon

>>37494024
I've got nothing else to go to :\
I know things will improve, though. Just gotta ride through this shit.

>>37493943
I think I know which one. The weird rope one or some shit.

Thanks btw feeling like a kid again

>>37494041
i understand man. it's not your fault.

>>37494045

>>37494143
My brother's girlfriend died in a similar way. Icy roads. After she died, her mom said that she was looking through her diary and it said stuff like "I really think he's the one" and what-not. It was pretty sad

I'm gonna ask, do you hate it when people say stuff like, "I'm sorry to hear that"?

>>37490366
have fun not being to afford your kids college tuition

>>37494243
My brother was in college at the time, and was on the hockey team. He had a game a couple nights later, which was in dedicated to her (They had an announcement at the beginning of the game). His team won the game.

Things are good now though, that was a while ago. He's got a new girlfriend and they'll be married on new years day.

>>37494289

yea

>tfw she was the first person i met that i ever really trusted enough to tell everything to

>>37494182
;_;

>>37494254
i dont know
one one hand, it does feel irritating because "sorry" just doesnt fucking cover it at all
but on the other hand i know that theres really not much else they can say

>>37494303
i'm sure i'll find someone else eventually, i guess

but fuck

;_;

>>37494303

glad everything worked out, that's great.

you didn't deserve this man. just know that there's plenty of people out there, even on /mu/, who care for you. i hope things get better

>>37494372
have fun feeling helplessly empty and lonely for the latter half of your life

>>37494375
Yeah. I also just remembered that she didn't completely die immediately, it was a coma situation. So when they had the hockey game she was still alive, but in a coma. I think she died later after that. It's hard to remember, I was young when it happened.

>>37494389
>tfw almost nobody outside of /mu/ even knows because i dont trust anyone enough to tell them about this sort of thing even though theres no reason not to trust them

I wonder how someone could get over a death.. But im glad to know that when it happens, there's hope after this.

>>37494615
theres not much to do except keep on living and hope it heals, i guess

>tfw even though i know she's gone i still can't imagine being with anyone else

>>37494735
shit will pass on anon. i've felt the feel of both losing someone i love and losing someone i love because they died, just not both in the one go. but shit always moves forwards, gets better and works out. you'll see.
one day you'll meet someone and have a five minute conversation and say, i think that i'm actually in love with this person.
and she'll love you back.
even though you look at yourself in the mirror and see a bag of meat rather than a person full of individualities and facets that make you an amazing and unique being.
she'll see something else
and she'll fall in love with you
and you'll grow old together
and one day one of you will hold the others hand while they pass from this earth
and then the other will die shortly after because they know that their time on this earth is meaningless without the other.
and they will go to the greatest rest they have ever known.
because of the life that they were able to share with someone else
the person that said hello to them all those years ago

>>37494883
thanks m8, it helps

it still feels like i would be betraying her somehow or something by moving on with someone else
but i'm sure that will pass eventually
knowing her, she'd want me to get the fuck over it and be happy anyway
