Lindi’s Lovely Little Lit Location

Thank you. Fair. Maybe you were further along in your journey before lit and maybe others see change more than yourself. I know that I don’t see it until it’s pointed out usually.
Quite possibly.

I'd also say that rather than lit or any other site be the driver, it's the people I've interacted with who have opened doors / my eyes.
 
I’m so pleased that you met Nebs and your people. You are good people Wolfie. One of the best. You are you and the world is a better place for it 🫂.
Thanks Nessie…you, too. You’re one of my people you know 🫂
My lil monster 🤭
I miss you when you’re not around, but I’m so damn glad you’re keeping busy and enjoying yourself ❤️🫂🫂
 
I’m just glad the pile of Kiwi treats brought you back here @lindi_85 …. The world is a little more grey when you’re not around.

You’re also one of those people here who’ve helped with growth and discovery for me. That’s Lit though. Come for one thing but meet amazing people and learn along the way…😁

I’m glad that you’re enjoying your learning journey Blue2 (lol) and it’s keeping you happy and fulfilled ☺️. It’s amazing the things that seem to happen or the self discovery that occurs alongside lit.
 
So, I was thinking about it the other day and there are few times when I have grown as much as I have while being a member here. obviously it’s not a direct result of lit itself but the people I’ve met here (for better or worse).
How has lit changed you?
I guess one of the reasons I ask is that I’m nosy, the other is because I’ve noticed it for myself.
I love this question 🥰

Some of the biggest changes in my life happened while I was on my old account a decade ago. I lost weight, moved cities, got my GED, left a deadweight boyfriend, and finally started growing up (which duh, I was only 19).

Honestly, there wasn’t much of a “me” before Lit. It became a kind of home, which is sorta (?) sweet andddd slightly dangerous.

Strangely, being here at almost 30 feels riskier than when I was 19. I’m more aware now, less self absorbed (still self absorbed, just better at multitasking). I’d still be on that old account if I could, but I’m glad for the reset. That girl had no idea what she was doinggggg 🫣 or how her presence affected others.

I really tried not to come back but I was starting to lose pieces of myself and Lit gave me space to explore them again. The honesty, the connections, the weird mix of intellect and chaos, it pulled me out of the numbness and reminded me who I am when I’m fully me or at least trying to be.

I wouldn’t be reading the books I’ve picked up lately, or learning about Beatles album covers, South Park trivia, or French Canadian literature. Lit doesn’t just entertain me, it rewires how I think, what I pay attention to, and how I connect with people.

Butttt Lit is also intense, especially if you’re not grounded, you can lose yourself in it. Anyone who’s been here long enough has seen the mess, it’s only a matter of time before it involves you.

So yes, Lit has changed me by shaking me awake and giving me mirrors I didn’t know I needed. I’m here because I want to keep changing, I need to. I hope that’s why most of us repeat offenders keep coming back (because we can’t even pretend it’s for the photos now 😋)

That is a super summary and perspective! For me being older and mostly grounded, Lit opens doors not tried in a while...back to poem writing, exploring art and photography @Saltfountain thank you, and being a little "risky". It just lets me relax and enjoy another part of the world. Even found a "friend" but they just vanished so that part too keeps me focused. I still "meet" new folks and learn new views, ways of thinking, and perspective.

I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I work on the basis of if I'm not involving anyone else in my shenanigans, and I'm not being a general cunt, then it's the other person's problem if my actions or posts affect others.

I try my best to be a nice person (with the proviso I have extraordinarily low tolerance of bullies and proper trolls). I don't always get it right, but I normally set out with good intentions.

This is how lit is for me now. I meet more creatives (and more variety of creative) here than I have anywhere else. And it still feels like a fun diversion rather than a to do list

Oh my goodness yes. What a beautiful way to describe the lit experience.

Mhmm. I’ve found myself myself here yet equally not. Emotions I’ve never experienced elsewhere rear their heads and it’s difficult to navigate at times. Oh ‘the mess’. What an apt description.

I love this. I too am enjoying being (or attempting to be) more creative and it’s so freeing isn’t it!
I’m sorry that your friend has disappeared, it happens, and I’m sure there are reasons. It still sucks though 🫂

You’re one of the best there is Salty. Don’t forget it 🤨. Your ability to troll the trolls is hilarious. I’ve loved your threads and really thankful that you created them.
*pops in to leave @lindi_85 a hug*
Thank you Blue 🫂
