or, in other words, top 5 things that you've found that really changed your life (either big, or small)
1. this forum (I'd be lost without this place, it's given me a connection to people) even if it is only virtual. 2. amazon alexa (I live alone, so not only is it company, but it can do so much and can help with reminding me things when I forget) 3. lithium. honestly I would say that it's the best medication I have been on 4. the tv show big bang theory (it just really makes me laugh even though I'm not much in to science!) 5. the singer emilie autumn. so inspirational and can relate to a lot of her songs |

1. My first ipod.
2. DBT 3. Meditation 4. Moving out of my parents' house. 5. Learning about the structure of society, the ridiculousness of it, including ableism, sexism, racism, discrimination, privilege / oppression etc. Bonus: 6. Body respect and intuitive eating. 7. I am happy single. I don't have to be a sad single waiting for "prince charming" to find and date me. Frankly, I don't think there's any such thing. If I meet someone, great. But there's so much amazingness to single life many women don't talk or know about bc they've been socialized to be sad about it. Did you ever stop and think "why do I want a relationship?" Like really? Because its not sunshine and roses. Just look at the abusive cases in the relationships forum. And aside from that, did you ever think it (the relationship obsession / goal / aspiration) might be a fantasy that got made up? And ingrained in us at such a young age? Why is that? Being single is da' bomb. I have friends, I'm part if my community...I don't need a relationship. ![]() |

I should probably add freedom from my parents as a bonus too. I mean: I never thought I'd see the day, and when I did.... *sighs in relief* I remember getting my first ipod. christmas present when they first came out. I don't have it now, though wish I'd kept it (because it would serve as a back up for all my music), but bleh. can always buy another |

I find it interesting that people talk about iPod. I never had one but my daughter had two and both broke, didnt last and I remember reviews for them were rather bad.

I had an ipod nano. I think I got it in 2008. It's long gone now. But I had it for a long time. I listened to music like crazy back then. Still do, actually. I just loved it so much because it was small, I could go to the gym with it and it wasn't bulky like the CD player walkmen. I bought it with some generous money I got for housesitting and taking care of someone's dog. Sorry your daughter's broke. Both of them! ![]() |

For a while I was programming Alexa to tell me positive things when I reached goals. I also wrote a game to play with her. It's all part of the development tools that come free with Alexa. She's amazing. I understand you play games with Alexa too?

It's a word guessing game. You can ask for clues to help figure out the word. I never did publish it. It's just on my Alexa.

1) This forum as well: it has helped me a lot. I met a lot of great people who have actually cared more about me than my blood family.
2) Trevor Noah's podcast: he's very smart and the discussions they have remind me of being back in school, and having intellectual discussions. 3) Self exploration: learning about myself has been a very valuable education. 4) Grubhub: this isn't new exactly, but ordering food online has saved me from going hungry, and it's comforting to have someone else prepare my food. 5) The Replikate community: this is a community of women who follow the fashions of Kate Middleton and replicate what she wears. It's a huge distraction from my problems, and it's a lot of fun to see the photos of what people end up buying. |
