Haha is that u when u’ve had a bit too much to drink at the tap room anita?

Im off to sleep, talk tomorrow!

Wait, it’s the SAME vomit face, right above.

This is the 2nd vomit face that showed up 🤢

Alright, enough 🍷 4 me. 🤔

Good morning, Confused 🙂: I gave up last night but woke up this morning with renewed determination to figure out the emoji puzzle from yesterday: 🤢 🤮

Hey 👋 Confused:

WA. Closed for good as a place that serves alcohol because the business owners weren’t making any profit, or any significant profit, and the owners of the property don’t want it to be a place that serves alcohol anymore because they’re afraid to be sued if a customer gets into an accident while intoxicated (the business owners of any establishment that serves alcohol buys insurance for that, but the owners were afraid they’ll be sued for any money beyond what the insurance will pay).

There’s a second vomit emoji showing up in my earlier post this morning: the yellow face with the green vomit, see it? (I used the computer to find it. Now back to my 📱)

What you described: waking up with the extreme urge to end things with her, and this urge coming and going many times- it reminds me of a movie I watched many years ago called Groundhog Day.

It’s about a man waking up every morning to the same day. He gets tired of it, being stuck in that way, so he jumps out of a window (or a building, don’t remember), and yet he wakes up to the same day (prior to jumping), yet again.

There’s also a love relationship there. If you’re curious about how he got unstuck and woke up to a new, different day, you can look it up. (I forgot how it happened but will look it up myself next time I have the use of a 🖥

Hey 👋 Confused:

Yes, the state (not Wash DC), the green side of it. The servers of alcohol are trained to tell if a customer had too much to drink and refuse to serve more. (Sometimes a person enters a drinking establishment already intoxicated, and servers are supposed to detect that).

If someone leaves a drinking establishment intoxicated, at night, let’s say， drives，theres an accident and people get injured or killed, the police that arrives will ask the person where they had drinks that night and write down the name of the place. It’s in the record. Next, lawyers get involved and sue the place recorded (the empolyee/ server also gets fined)

Oh, I think that I remember how the main character in Groundhog day finally woke up to a new day: he gave up on the desire to wake up to a new day and made the best of the one day he kept waking up to. He started paying attention to the positives in that day and was kind and patient with people, unlike before.

I wonder if and how this can apply 2 u..?

🤔 🤢 🦉 Anita

HeY 🌙 🦉 Confused:

“I can’t let go of control”- I can’t imagine anyone letting go of all control, just some.

I mean needing control is a natural need.

I suppose it’s about differentiating between what we can control and what we can’t control.

What if you made 2 lists: things you can control and things you can’t control?

(I am 🤔 of dropping the vomit emoji. What do u think?) Anita

Good 🌄 Confused:

Yes, I was beginning to feel weird for using the vomit emoji 😐

How would making that list help? I’ll make a tiny (kinda) list that applies to me as an example:

I CAN’T Control the feeling of tension in my body right now, but I CAN Notice it (I just did), and I CAN- at this moment- take a slow breath, and a second one. It helps because for a moment, the tension has eased.

I Notice it eased and I am taking another slow breath because it helped (maybe I’ll build a habit of slow breathing over time, if I repeat this).

Confused: “I am trying to control my feelings all the time”-

You mean by analyzing (trying to think yourself into feeling differently), researching with AI, posting in reddit, etc.?

What if you first empathize with and validate what you do feel?

Example: ‘it sucks to not feel what I want to feel. It’s natural to want to feel happy and in-love. I feel sad and empty and guilty that I don’t feel those loving feelings’

Did you already try that?

😐 🤍 🤔 Anita
