Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Rough day today. Stepdad has just passed away, early this morning.
Just as my life was at a crossroad - I now have to re-write some of my plans all over again, in order to help my mum cope with the loneliness.
Time to look into becoming a foster parent. Being granted the living space and the opportunity to teach children to be stronger, healthier, less selfish and less materialistic - would be the only light at the end of this tunnel - especially in the light of rising mortgages, costs of living and global temperature.
My carefree days are over. Today I’m an adult - tomorrow I’ll be a parent, a leader, and then hopefully one day - a politician. No more junkfood, no more caffeine, no more energy drinks, certainly no more booze, and no more mindless scrolling. Bootcamp lifestyle.
Sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about your stepdad.
Your world might be a bit shaken up right now and if so it’s best not to jump headfirst into any big decisions, and it’s especially important to make sure that you are ok before trying to be someone others lean on.
But if and when you’re sure you are in the right place, it sounds like you may be a good fit for Big Brothers Big Sisters, a programme where you mentor young people. There are branches across much of NZ so there’s a good chance one is local.
I’m very sorry for your loss.
Oh no. I’m sorry for your loss.
Sounds like you have good plans. To stop drinking, there’s a sd community here. I quit 5 years ago and one of the best decisions of my life. Take care.
