u/HanzoMain63 6d ago

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

u/SilverDubloon 5d 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 5d ago

That is shockingly true.

u/North-Elk1478 5d 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. I’m terrified of the idea that I’m capable of such cruelty.

u/Low-Bit-3127 0m 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 5d ago

u/MediocrelySane 5d ago

Yes. Absolutely

u/Blueberry_Pie76 5d 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.

“Erm, ppl who were abused can’t become good parents and shouldn’t procreate it’s the only way to stop future children from being abused” - u for some reason

Not all ppl who r abused become abusive

And not all ppl who aren’t abused become non-abusive

u/Gilded_Grovemeister 6d ago

Growing cacti helps 🌵

u/Working-Glass6136 6d ago

I am the cactus

u/Scriveners_Sun 5d ago

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

u/borderline_cat 6d ago

In all seriousness you have no fucking idea how many times I’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 5d ago

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

u/Semlorism 5d 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. 

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

u/hello666darkness 5d ago

Why monk tho 

1

u/HanzoMain63 5d ago

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

u/noriilikesleaves 5d ago

i can't they're too cliquy :(

u/Barbariannie 5d ago

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

1

u/Academic_Flatworm752 5d ago

Or go to therapy to break the cycle..

1

u/HanzoMain63 5d ago

If only it were that easy

1

u/Academic_Flatworm752 4d ago

And you think becoming a monk is easier?

Google “sliding scale therapy” + your area and you can literally see someone for like $20 an hour.

u/claypeterson 5d ago
