Frienday (pardon, c't'en anglish, mais la traduction est dans la publication)

Je viens tout juste de découvrir ce subreddit et j'adore le concept. J'vous partage une citation que j'ai trouvée récemment, en attendant chatmedi. 😌✨

Traduction:

> Je pense que l'amitié est une des plus belles histoires d'amour qui puisse exister. Quelqu'un qui ne te doit rien te choisit quand même. Iel devient une partie de ta vie juste parce qu'iel le souhaite. Je pense qu'on ne parle pas assez d'à quel point c'est quelque chose de spécial. D'être aimé·e par des gens qui ne sont pas de la famille. Qui ne sont pas tombé·es en amour avec toi. Qui t'ont juste rencontré·e, ont appris à te connaître, puis ont décidé: "Je veux que tu fasses partie de ma vie". Je pense que c'est une des formes d'amour les plus pures qui soient.

Experimental music video from a photo I took

Music: "Shoulders and Arms" – Tokyo Police Club

---

Hi peeps! This is my first post here.

Idek if this video truly qualifies as "trippy". I created it just for fun in 2024 and had nowhere to share it with. I figured this sub would fit its visuals well, but lmk if it doesn't fit here!

It's nothing special: it's just a photo I took, that I turned into a short "music video" by playing with distortion effects, following the rhythm and melody of the song. It's experimental video editing. I tried to make the visual into a loop.

The photo pictures a mural at the top of the corner of a building, that portrays a street art artist, from the back. It made me think of "Stop me before I paint again" from Banksy. Like "me and my art against the world". It felt dystopian, yet hopeful.

So I tried to give the same vibe to the video.

Hope you enjoy!

Grieving the loss of friendships - would appreciate kind words of validation

Long story short, I went through a burnout in 2023. Said burnout brought to the surface many underlying conditions. My chronic pain and chronic fatigue became totally disabling. So I had to disappear from society for 2-3 years.

Fast forward to now. I've finally gotten some diagnosis. The latters gave me access to treatments and meds, which have made my life finally manageable. I'm not in burnout anymore, but my capacities remain small compared to what they used to be. My energy level is lower. I can't stand for long periods of time. Walking has become harder. (I should probably have mobility aids..) Etc. People my age (30s) don't usually have to bother with all that.. so it's hard for people to "get it".

And that's a grief in itself, but right now, what's hurting the most is how much the world has moved on during those three years where I disappeared from society. I lost a long-time friend, because I didn't give signs of life in over a year. I lost blooming friendships, because those people are somewhere else in their lives now – and they don't care as much about me anymore, while I'm stuck where I used to be in regards to our relationships.

The world has moved on.

I know I have other friends. I know I'll make new friends. I know I have caring people around me now who do care and understand where I'm at now. But still.. I just reached out to someone I consider a friend, and was turned down to catch up (in a very gentle and understandable way). And even if I do understand the reason, and am in no way offended about it.. It still woke up that grief of mine, cutting through that little wound that hasn't healed yet.

"Yet another one who's moved on."

Tears came out to my eyes before I knew it. And now I'm here, trying to find kinship among people who truly understand the struggle.

Edit: It probably doesn't help that I'm autistic, and have always struggled to connect with people and build long-lasting meaningful friendships. I think this conversation might have also woken up some hidden traumas about that. "Yet another one I couldn't truly connect with.", kinda.

Yes, I like Pokémon a lot—and love a lot of them. Yes, choosing who to put in my teams is always a headache lol.

Anyone else like that?

Edited 'cause Reddit undid my formatting.. 😵‍💫🫠
