Leaving Everything Behind: What Comes Next?
2025.01.26 06:21 Ok-Lime-1624 Leaving Everything Behind: What Comes Next?
Hi everyone!
I’m at a crossroads in my life and could use some insight from those who’ve navigated a similar journey. I (48/m) don’t know if this is a mid-life crisis or just a deeper need to step away from the rat race, but here’s my situation:
I’m a retired military vet with passive income and healthcare covered. I also have about $250K in savings and another $150K to add to rhat once i sell mu home.
Recently, I’ve felt an overwhelming urge to leave the U.S., especially after a tough breakup a few months ago that’s left me reevaluating everything. The current political climate isn’t helping either. So I've decided to fast track my plans to leave the US and retire 10 years earlier than planned.
I’m in the process of applying for a D7 visa to move to Portugal with my daughter (her mom is fully supportive of the move), and I’m hoping for approval by June. My house goes on the market soon, with the plan to close in late May when the school year (and my contract) ends.
Right now, I’m in the process of unhitching myself from my current life—selling my house, preparing for the move, and figuring out what’s next. The transition period feels unsettling, though. The thought of not having a place to call home for a while and living in limbo until the move is daunting.
I want to use this time wisely, but I’m not sure where to start or how to stay grounded during this period of waiting. Has anyone been in a similar situation—preparing for a big life change while managing the uncertainties of the in-between? I’d love to hear how you handled it, what you did to stay focused, or any advice on how to make the most of this transitional time.

I like a song with personality, I’ve done Barbie Girl and Pink (from the Barbie movie), I wanted to do Popular from wicked but a friend is already using it. Any suggestions don’t really want another Barbie song. Thanks 💖

2025.01.26 06:21 slayer1299 Looking for Muay Thai Gym suggestions in Thailand
Hi!
I am considering going to Thailand for 3 weeks and join a Muay Thai camp. I was looking for recommendations.
I have been going for 60 min muaythai bag workout classes for the last few months. I know my endurance/cardio is not cut out for those places which consider a 5k/10 k run as warm up lol so I’m looking for something beginner friendly.
I was considering Punch It since I saw some good reviews. I also looked up Tiger Muay Thai but the large classes are a bit intimidating.

2025.01.26 06:21 Transpinay08 First time makakita ng WLW na Afam-Pinay
I'm surrounded by WLW since bata palang ako (ate, tita, tropa) kaya love ko sila kahit straight trans woman ako.
So nagPoblacion kami ng pinsan ko and partner nya kagabi. Syempre normal na makakita ng afam na lalaki at pinay/transpinay dun. Pero laking gulat ko nakakita ako ng magjowang afam at pinay na parehong babae magkaholding hands along Burgos Ave.
So pareho sila naka royal blue na tshirt, jeans and sneakers. Simple lang sila pareho, walang makeup, long straight hair si pinay, pero short blonde hair si afam. Ang cute nila magkasama. Nakakatuwa sila tignan.
Sana talaga more WLW dito na magafam din.

2025.01.26 06:21 34Shaqtus32 Help with range fan/vent!
 | Our range fan sucks so we have a new one on the way. Took it off the wall to find this stupid crap. I am planning on extending the metal duct with sheet metal (just flashing ok?) over to the edge of the wall hole. I want to wrap the vent stack with flashing and then foil tape. I'll have to get a bigger damper I suppose. Does that sound like an ok plan? submitted by 34Shaqtus32 to hvacadvice [link] [comments] |
2025.01.26 06:21 Creepy-Shirt-935 I need to stop binging.
Recently I've been binging more, especially at night and I don't know how to stop. I always feel so ashamed and guilty when I do, during the day I'm usually ok but then at night I tend to binge especially on sugar and salty snacks. These past few days have been especially bad. I just want to be able to restrict without binging like I used to, does anyone have any advice?

2025.01.26 06:21 jfb41 Can’t remember a piano colllection…
Around 2005 I was taking piano lessons and had a collection/book of music that I believe was "impressionist" themed but was geared more towards an intermediate/advancing learner. It did NOT include composers like Debussy Ravel etc., the composer(s) was more contemporary. The only thing I remember is one piece called "Veins..." -- can't find it anywhere online. Does this sound familiar to anyone? All I remember is a light-colored book which if still in print may have been redesigned. Any help is appreciated thank you!

hi, im a 2nd year cs student currently looking for a laptop, I’m literally unable to decide on anything. I’ve been debating over couple of laptops like MacBook Air m3 (8 gb, 256 ssd), Lenovo ideapad (i5 12th gen) or literally any Dell laptop but I’m like really clueless on what to buy really, I have an iPad, and iPhone and I feel like getting an Apple product might be handy for the “ecosystem”, I mostly use a laptop for creating websites, apps and web surfing. I JUST NEED A LAPTOP MAN I’d be happy if anyone suggests me anything

2025.01.26 06:21 COMPUT3R-US3R Sleep getting worse
I’m around day 90 completely caffeine free. I noticed my energy levels getting really good after a couple of weeks and now have sustained energy throughout the day. It’s pretty miraculous.
My sleep didn’t improve when I quit caffeine, but it wasn’t terrible anyway (measured with Apple Watch for years) I just had to nap most days at lunch or I couldn’t focus on my work.
However over the last week or so my sleep has sucked. Sleep from 10:30 - 4ish then it’s really hard to sleep afterwards.
Anyone else experienced something similar?
