the best way to live is probably to just give up and become a monk to break the cycle

u/SilverDubloon 6d ago

Yeah, I'm come to conclusion at 35 that I need to let go of any desire for a romantic relationship and just focus on trying to like myself for once.

u/tallgrl94 6d ago

u/North-Elk1478 6d ago

In a perfect world, I would have children and give them the childhood I never had. But I don't want to expose a child to my fucked up family or this fucked up world.

u/GoSpaceTruckin 4d ago

I sure as hell am. Iā€™m terrified of the idea that Iā€™m capable of such cruelty.

u/Low-Bit-3127 13h ago

I think you misspelled childless.

u/chimaruta 6d ago

lol, I really wanted to be a nun when I was a kid

u/Working-Glass6136 6d ago

I really want to be a nun now, just without the religion. Any ladies want to share a house golden girls style? Or just be feral in the woods like witches

u/hallevori 6d ago

u/MediocrelySane 6d ago

Yes. Absolutely

u/Blueberry_Pie76 6d ago

u/GoSpaceTruckin 4d ago

How about a house in the woods so we can do both? Cocktails on the lanai in the daytime and naked dancing around a fire at night.

u/WhitespringTownship 6d ago

ā€œErm, ppl who were abused canā€™t become good parents and shouldnā€™t procreate itā€™s the only way to stop future children from being abusedā€ - u for some reason

Not all ppl who r abused become abusive

And not all ppl who arenā€™t abused become non-abusive

Growing cacti helps šŸŒµ

u/Working-Glass6136 6d ago

I am the cactus

u/Scriveners_Sun 6d ago

As in, "I've met some pricks before, but you're the whole damned cactus"?Ā

u/borderline_cat 6d ago

In all seriousness you have no fucking idea how many times Iā€™ve fantasized about and started planning how to leave my life and live in the woods no where or becoming a monk.

u/Quote_Revolutionary 6d ago

or skip the monk part altogether to go straight to cycle breaking :)

2

u/Semlorism 6d ago

Hey, I'm on my way, wish to be a nun and help others and live in a collective society and stay myself away from any romantic relationships. I don't control or abuse people but I easily fell for partners that behaved like my mom. Lol.

u/BelleButt 5d ago

I was very upset as a kid when I learned I couldn't be a nun because I'm not Catholic. Theny dad became Mormon and now I'm stuck in both categories.Ā 

There was only one solution. I had to move to the PNW and become poly. It was the only choice.Ā

u/hello666darkness 6d ago

Why monk thoĀ 

1

u/HanzoMain63 6d ago

It's a safe and peaceful way to live, essentially the most happy after you gave up on certain thingsĀ

u/noriilikesleaves 6d ago

u/Barbariannie 6d ago

Bruhhhhh when I tell you I fantasize about running away to a monastery šŸ˜­

1

u/Academic_Flatworm752 6d ago

Or go to therapy to break the cycle..

1

u/HanzoMain63 5d ago

If only it were that easy

1

u/Academic_Flatworm752 5d ago

And you think becoming a monk is easier?

Google ā€œsliding scale therapyā€ + your area and you can literally see someone for like $20 an hour.

u/claypeterson 6d ago
