sounds pretty good, I get your feelings. I've been there myself, only thing I can say about it is that you're going in the right direction. It took me 2 years before I finally 'moved on' and felt ready for a new relationship.
I recommend either talking with someone about your feelings, which has the added benefit of being social contact and sharing deep feelings with people can form really strong friendships. Or you should write it down (on paper, writing is better than typing for this), which is what I did. I know it sounds strange and you've probably heard it a couple times before, but just trying to get your emotions, feelings and train of thought on paper allows you to organize your thoughts, make them more tangible and more coherent. Having to force yourself to slow down and write them down makes you more conscious of your feelings, and makes you move on. I felt like every sentence in my thought was just a rehash of the same anger and I couldn't get rid of it. While, after writing it down, the thoughts no longer bothered me, because I knew I had them already on paper.
I hope this makes sense and doesn't sound like the ramblings of a madman.

I've noticed quite a lot of people have said they want to learn a new language any particular reason why?

>Have a good job where I have the freedom to learn new stuff every day what is your job? that sounds pretty unique. Or does that mean you have a lot of downtime

I work at a startup and I've been there long enough that I can basically dictate what I work on. I build new products/features. Sometimes there's crunch time but usually there isn't.

To me (I'm ), it's not really about the language itself. Sure I tell all my normie friends that Spanish is a bigger language than English and thus it makes sense to even speak it on a basic level, but I'm not kidding myself, I'm probably never gonna use it except for a handful of occasions.
The real reason I'm learning Spanish is because it's a thing that keeps me focused on my self improvement, and it can be done with relatively little means or time invested. With just half an hour to an hour a day I'm learning it at a steady pace, and I don't need anything special for it. I can see my result/improvement on a weekly basis, which is good enough in my book.
I'd love to learn woodworking as a skill, but I've neither the time to really work on it, or the money to buy the tools and wood needed.
And hey, who knows, I might meet some cool Spanish people someday that'll change my life.

here. I already know 4 languages, I had very few classes, and Chinese looked interesting, so that's why. It was more of a hobby than any self-improvement stuff.

I took a trip to Veeky Forums and looked at different styles. I'm not saying I'm crazy fashionable now or whatever but I've tossed out a lot of poor fitting clothes and shit like graphic tees and went out and bought some nice button downs.

I'm OP, I'm looking to learn Korean since I already speak Chinese and Japanese, and want to pick up at least a little of it as they're often grouped. Korean and Japanese are very similar languages, although it's arguable whether or not they're part of the same language family. Both languages have imported huge amounts of vocabulary from Chinese, as well as from English in the modern era. The shared vocabulary and grammar makes it much easier to pick up one after you already know another, even though they're not really related languages in the way that the Romance languages are.
Other than purely linguistic interests (I enjoy learning languages, and could easily enjoy learning one without any practical benefit, although I wouldn't choose to), it may be relevant to my interests in business, research, and/or living in Korea at some point in the future. Oneitis is Korean as well, although that's more of a bonus than a reason. There's not much Korean art/media (books, movies, TV, music etc.) I'm interested in now, but Korea has been pumping out more and more media across Asia, and even starting to break in to the west; I'm pretty confident Korea has a bright future, and I want to get in on that in a way I couldn't for Japanese and Chinese.

Ye, I think it makes sense. To be honest I was avoiding doing that stuff because I felt like it would just reopen wounds and shit but maybe you're right. I don't feel like I'm emotionally close enough with my friends to talk to them about it but I'll try writing it down and see how that goes. Thanks senpai

I've done the same, and am slowly transitioning towards a sort of 'personal uniform' look (more of an ideal than something I actually intend to do, both as it's futile to buy a set wardrobe as I lose weight, and because I fully intend for pieces to be changed and updated over time). I only have two graphic tees left, one is a gift from a friend that's too good to just get rid of without at least wearing a few times (pic related), the other is largely there so I can enjoy fitting in to it again, and will stain before long and get tossed out anyway. I'm a bit big yet for good OCBDs, although I can fit into the one I have now decently enough that I wouldn't look like total shit if I still had my blazer; by summer, I should hopefully be able to pick some up that will look decent and fit the look I'm going for.
