  2. hello new here have question

    Hello eric-stroman, Your account is approved; welcome to the bums. Sorry to read of your troubles. Personally, I would suggest not focusing so much on how you believe people around you are feeling, and more on your own inner energetics and how you are feeling - maybe some basic practices with the elements for personal balance. You will find three topics pinned at the top of this sub forum regarding rules and expectations, if you have not already done so please make sure you’ve read them. warm regards, ilu
  3. Relationship advice

    I actually find this a bit troubling. There is so much more than a simple “get her out of India” (which I believe is at least pretty close to how you put it in a later post) - which seems to be her mother’s goal, although I have seen no indication it is hers. You would be taking her away from her friends and family (i.e. any support network she presently has - if they are actually supportive), and bringing her to a place where she has no strong language skills (according to you), will likely experience some amount of culture shock, and have difficulty communicating in any nuanced fashion with anyone other than you. If you indeed wish to convince yourself you will be “providing opportunity” then these things should be considered imo - or else it looks a bit like a “dependency trap” to me.. which is certainly and entirely honestly a perception colored by my own history.

  5. Hello

    Hi Renvanor, This isn’t much of an intro, and doesn’t quite qualify as fulfilling the “tell us a bit about yourself” request. But I am approving your account anyway. Perhaps you could consider telling us something about yourself at some point.

  7. Yes, there is an area here for this type of gender focused discussion, but we don’t say much there. I don’t know if the general silence there is due to the fact we have had men here create accounts as women (without actually identifying as such in everyday life), the women who have stuck around here tend to be older, or we simply have little to say on the subject. This thread is where you would request access:
  8. Begginer experience

    You will know when the impatience wanes, and you no longer feel driven to instant gratification of (any and all) arising desires. Life doesn’t always work like that anyway (you aren’t always going to get what you want), so observance and time should (will likely) provide it’s own lessons/antidote.

  10. Hello liberala.ironikerin, Your account is approved; welcome to the bums. I don’t believe anyone will have the answers you seek, as the answers would be very personal to you and your own journey. But perhaps other members may be able to provide points which will assist you in navigating your inner journey. If you haven’t already done so please read the three topics pinned at the top of this sub forum regarding rules and expectations. And, speaking as a fellow woman, remember your sovereignty, and don’t fall to strongly into the idea of people knowing more than they actually do, or you do about yourself. warm regards, ilu
  11. Hello

    Hi 10/12/1980, Your account is approved; welcome to the bums. Interesting intro. I am curious how you acquired the savior/salvation/apocalypse stuff without (what I previously believed was a prerequisite) Christian/religious/spiritual upbringing. Have you pondered this it all? Do you have any ideas/thoughts on the matter? In any case, you will see three topics pinned at the top of this sub forum regarding rules and guidelines here, please make sure you’ve read them if you haven’t already done so. warm regards, ilu
