Any time!

It’s so hard to be away from our special people. Hope you can communicate with them frequently and see them soon.

If you’re cutting, I do recommend getting help, and that’s not because I think it’s morally bad. Developing alternative less harmful coping strategies to dealing with emotional pain can be difficult but ultimately more lasting and effective. Cutting can leave lasting physical impacts in physical or emotional scarring. It can also become addictive as a result of the physical and emotional responses. IOW, it can often dull or distract from emotional pain temporarily… but the pain returns, doesn’t it? And there are other ways to get beyond that pain.

Hmm… If I had a chin, I’d be rubbing it thoughtfully. Meanwhile, I’ve been hearing rumors that a young cousin of mine, the Question Wall, might visit sometime later this spring. Watch this space for developments!

Oooh, alpacas! They are so much fun. But alpacas are outdoor animals, and the outdoors is beyond the scope of this wall (and most walls for that matter). I’ll seek out the advice of some fence colleagues and see what’s possible. If can manage transportation, there is this: bit.ly/VisitAlpacas

I hope it went fabulously well!

Great to see all the support!

I can’t foretell the future the way my cousin the Magic 8-ball® can, but I have faith that you’ll heal, or at least learn to work around the wound. ((((((((hurt human)))))))

I wish you luck with your ambitious automobile acquisitions!

You might want to revisit the way you are dieting. Maybe schedule a Wellness Coaching session with the Ofc of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach)?

I’ve always thought “teamsters” was such a great name for a union. It’s one of the oldest unions – back from when goods were hauled by teams of oxen or horses.

Truckers are great. https://bit.ly/bc-truck

I’m sure you’ll have plenty of folks joining your battles in Honor of Kings if you’re the strongest helper.

I would suppose there are other, more effective venues for a lonelyhearts posting. I hope you find a friend. I like the idea of slippers, and if I had feet I’d probably wear them myself, since I’m an interior wall and don’t get out much.

I’m sorry one of you sometimes think life isn’t worth living, and I’m also sorry one of you thinks having children is akin to murder, because you were a child once. (We all were.) I hope you’re both able to find people to talk to when you find yourself sliding into those feelings. If friends or family aren’t available, or you don’t feel comfortable having that conversation with them, you can always talk to someone confidentially at BC Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling).

Wee-hee, hoo-a, hoo-a

Why not set up an appointment with the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career)? They would be able to advise you on the best way to change directions. Your major is not the same as your career and there may be ways to leverage your previous studies in your new area. And take heart; in my experience, no learning is wasted.

Completely agree. Artist and poet are things you do, not states of being. Do both, blend them, do one for a while and the other for a while.

I hope you soon find a lull for love tho! Life can’t just be about work and study indefinately. ????❤️

I must disambiguate: Are you an artist wondering about options for classes or work, or are you a potential audience/consumer of arts hoping for recommendations of particular artists work?

I’ve been informed that this is a classic dilemma for a lot of people exploring their sexuality for the first time. People are often attracted to others who have qualities that they themselves would like to emulate. When you’re brought up in a traditionally heteronormative environment those feelings often get filed under admiration rather than attraction, because attraction doesn’t feel like a safe option (or even an option at all). If you feel attracted to someone, then you probably are actually attracted to them, but there’s a whole spectrum of sexual and romantic desire, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to pick out a label immediately. And if you want to talk to someone about this, there are resources at: bit.ly/LBGTQBC, you’re definitely not alone with this feeling!

Humans seem to thrive on variety, so there are permutations of every variable imaginable. There are also wonderful people who don’t satisfy normative versions of attractiveness.
