I love reading but there is something that sometimes does hold me back and it's not reading fast enough.

Reading 15 pages is more time consuming for me because I tend to really decipher the meaning behind each word and I can't read without having to take notes. I really want to remember every book I read so if in the future I want to know the plot and what I found interesting about it I would know but it's as I said pretty time consuming.

Are some people in the same state as I am ? What do you do to read faster ?

I have been looking for a book I read when I was about 11 years old, probably sometime between 2009 and 2012.

What I remember:

\- It was a very large book, probably 400 to 500 pages, maybe even more. It was tall and wide rather than a paperback format.

\- The book was very beautiful and high-quality: the cover was smooth and glossy, as if it had been varnished.

\- The inside paper was white, smooth and beautiful, and looking back, although the book itself seemed very beautiful because it had been printed recently, the story was probably much older and likely dated from the 19th or 20th century.

\- The cover was mainly brown, dark brown or ochre.

\- There was a colour illustration on the cover showing a boat, and I think there was a sailor or a man working on board.

\- Inside, there were fairly realistic colour illustrations, but the book was mostly made up of text.

The story:

\- It was a maritime adventure novel or narrative.

\- The story took place mainly at sea, aboard a boat.

\- I believe the main character or narrator was an adult man, definitely not a teenager.

\- There was probably a crew, and many scenes were related to the everyday life of sailors.

\- The boat may have been a fishing boat, an exploration vessel, or another type of ship, but I am no longer certain about this.

\- The atmosphere seemed rather serious and perhaps quite sad or melancholic, although my memory may be playing tricks on me on this point.

\- To me, the story felt like a ship's log, or at least it was told as though a sailor were writing about his experiences.

*And there is one very particular detail that I will never forget:*

The book had a very distinctive layout feature. At the top of the pages, separated from the main text and printed in small type or in the same size as the body text, there was an indication resembling a time, for example: "03'05"". The indication changed constantly throughout the pages.

At the time, I didn't understand what these numbers meant. Looking back, I think they may have referred to the time at which the sailor was writing in his journal, but I am not sure.

Books that give me a similar feeling:

\- The Sea-Wolf by Jack London

\- The Survivors of the Chancellor by Jules Verne

\- The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe

\- A Captain at Fifteen by Jules Verne

I am certain it was not Moby-Dick, although the maritime atmosphere may have been somewhat similar.

Je cherche depuis longtemps un livre que j'ai lu quand j'avais environ 11 ans, probablement entre 2009 et 2012.

Ce dont je me souviens :

- C'était un très gros livre, probablement 400 à 500 pages peut-être même plus. Il était grand et large, plutôt qu'un format poche.

- Le livre était très beau et de bonne qualité : la couverture était lisse et brillante comme si elle avait été vernie.

- Le papier intérieur était blanc, lisse et beau, et avec du recul le livre bien que très beau parce qu'imprimé récemment, son histoire devait sans doute être beaucoup plus ancienne et dater du XIX ou XXe s.

- La couverture était principalement brune, marron ou ocre.

- Il y avait sur la couverture une illustration en couleur représentant un bateau avec je crois un marin ou un homme en train de travailler à bord.

- À l'intérieur, il y avait des illustrations en couleur plutôt réalistes, mais le livre contenait surtout beaucoup de texte.

L'histoire :

- C'était un roman ou récit d'aventure maritime.

- L'histoire se déroulait principalement en mer à bord d'un bateau.

- Je crois que le personnage principal ou le narrateur était un homme adulte, certainement pas un adolescent.

- Il y avait probablement un équipage et beaucoup de scènes liées à la vie quotidienne des marins.

- Le bateau pouvait être un bateau de pêche, d'exploration ou un autre navire mais je ne suis plus certaine du type.

- L'ambiance me semblait plutôt sérieuse et peut-être assez triste ou mélancolique, mais attention ma mémoire me joue peut-être des tours sur ce point.

- Pour moi le récit ressemblait à un journal de bord, ou en tous cas raconté comme si un marin écrivait son expérience.

Et il y a un détail très particulier que je n'oublierai jamais :

Le livre avait une particularité de mise en page. En haut des pages séparée du texte principal et écrite en petit ou à la même taille que le corps de texte il y avait une indication ressemblant à une heure, par exemple : "03'05"". l'indication changeait constamment au fil des pages.

Je ne comprenais pas à l'époque ce que ces chiffres signifiaient. Aujourd'hui, je pense que ça faisait référence à l'heure à laquelle le marin écrivait dans son journal, mais je ne suis pas sûre.

Livres qui me donnent une impression similaire :

- Le Loup des mers de Jack London

- Le Chancellor de Jules Verne

- Les Aventures d'Arthur Gordon Pym d'Edgar Allan Poe

- Un capitaine de quinze ans de Jules Verne

Je suis certaine que ce n'était pas Moby Dick, même si l'ambiance maritime pouvait y ressembler.

I'd like my notes to be easier to recognize without having to read for a long time before grasping the main idea behind them and organize them better so I wanted to know if YAML blocks was something you used a lot or maybe any other thing ?

I'd like to create bases too and apparently it works better with YAML format so I was curious to know ? Sorry if I sound dumb.

I'm (24) looking for love and I have never been in my life interested in ONS or light relationships with no strings attached (sex friends ...).

I've never thought about getting in a relationship until these past few days. I'm starting to grow older and I'd love to get into a nice relationship with a good person. As I am a rather shy person, I find dating apps better for me. It may or may not be the best solution I don't know.

I managed to match with a few men here and there and despite me specifying that I want a serious relationship, they either tell me they don't know what they want when I ask or, if not the case, that they are only looking for hookups.

So that's why I wanted to know, is sex above love for men ?

SFR me demande de régler une facture et menace de contentieux malgré le fait que nous ne soyons plus chez eux depuis 1 an.

Ils continuaient de prélever des factures bien que nous soyons depuis ces 1 ans chez Bouygues Telecom. Nous avons donc avec le banquier, décidé de bloquer les prélèvements de SFR pour ne plus qu'ils retirent les sommes indues.

Avant ce bloquage, nous avons déjà fait plusieurs fois plusieurs résiliations auprès des conseillers SFR mais visiblement ça n'a pas fonctionné.

Pour contextualiser davantage,  le changement d'opérateur ne s'était pas fait classiquement par la voie directe c'est-à-dire entre opérateurs, mais indirectement ; notre banquier (crédit mutuel) nous avait proposé une offre avec Bouygues Telecom, et apparemment le changement d'opérateur n'a pas été fait. Mon père a donc du être contraint de se rendre dans une boutique SFR pour leur demander la résiliation et arrêter les prélèvements. Le constat est le même : Ils nous disent que c'est acté mais dans les faits ça ne semble pas être le cas.

Toutefois, mon père est allé une énième fois les voir, en juin dernier, et nous avons bien reçu par mail la confirmation de la résiliation, en voici un extrait : "objet : votre résiliation ; Cher client, Nous vous confirmons la résiliation de votre ligne X Votre Espace client reste disponible pendant un an pour accéder à vos dernières factures. Votre identifiant et votre mot de passe sont inchangés. Vous allez dès à présent recevoir un deuxième email pour le retour de vos équipements. Cet email comportera l’étiquette retour pour simplifier vos démarches (...)".

Or j'ai reçu à ce jour un mail intitulé **"DERNIER AVIS AVANT CONTENTIEUX", le voici : "**Votre numéro de ligne : X (la même spécifiée que dans le mail de résiliation) Cher client, Malgré nos diverses relances amiables et la suspension de votre ligne, vous restez débiteur de 48,36€. Par conséquent, nous vous mettons en demeure de régulariser votre compte sous 7 jours, faute de quoi nous serons contraints de transférer votre dossier à notre Service Contentieux (...)".

Is there a specific way you format them or do you use the default format ?

The men I'm the most interested in are Tunisian men (I am Tunisian too) but sadly idk many Tunisian men, only from my family and obviously I'm not interested in them lol. Are social networks the only way ?

Just something I've been thinking about.

I (24F) thought that with time everything would improve and get better but I was so wrong.

My parents hate each other and that's not something new. they've been hating on each other for years now. And that's because my dad is terrible. He's disrespectful to my mother, loves drama and is violent.

My mother's mistake has been marrying him cause she's way out of his league. She's not perfect but she's not the one living for drama and being violent. All she has been doing was raising us (my sister 22F and my little brother 13M who is growing to be an abhorrent person just like his dad), caring for us and helping us become better people.

Idk how tf she did enduring all of it for 25 years. She left her country and family to join my father in his country and has been treated like shit by my father's family all this time.

She talked to me today about considering divorce and tbh I can only agree with her, she deserves some peace after all these years of constant fighting and hate. The issue is that she doesn't want to leave my little brother alone (we all live together) to our dad because she fears that he'll turn up to be a useless failure and a piece of shit.

What can we do ?

(Ça relève peut-être du droit international alors faites le moi savoir si c'est le cas!).

Je suis actuellement en vacances en famille dans le pays pour lequel j'ai la double nationalité, et mon père a eu la très bonne (mauvaise) idée de présenter, une fois arrivés à l'aéroport, les passeports invalides au lieu des passeports français valides.

Le séjour durant plus d'un mois, nous nous sommes dit que c'était l'occasion de renouveler les passeports périmés. Il n'en est rien. Les démarches ont duré beaucoup plus longtemps que prévu et nous sommes encore dans l'attente de la réception des papiers valides. Or notre départ pour la France est très prochainement, et j'ai bien peur que nous restions bloqués ici.

Savez-vous comment régulariser la situation au plus vite pour pouvoir rejoindre la France dans les délais impartis ?

Just an appreciation post. I've always been struggling with keeping a theme as I always change and rotate but velocity feels so good. It's minimalist but pretty and refined, it makes the experience so satisfying and you can tweak it a bit to your Liking. So thanks to the creator you did an amazing job !

I've been switching between minimal and prism which I'm currently using. What about you ?

I (24F) am still not married and it wasn't something that really crossed my mind until recently tbh.

At 24 yo I'm not that young anymore and I'm scared of not being able to find a partner because men tend to like young girls. As I said It was never a goal for me until recently when I thought about my future a bit more and more precisely about what I want.

I was unlucky in life as I lost 3 years in college because I had bad health issues that prevented me from graduating at the proper age. I'm still in college now, I have 2 years left but this lack of luck still haunts me.

So yeah I just wanted to know if there was people maybe in my situation or that relate to what I say in one way or another.
