>>11960 I only started getting into opera through listening to richard wagner. So far I've watched tristan und isolde, and the ring cycle from him. I enjoyed the ring cycle the most, even though its 14-16 hours long, it was a great spectacle to watch, with some the best classical music I've listened to. There's a very mesmerizing beauty to watching characters express their feelings through singing, makes their emotions feel so much more grand in scale.

>>12727 is it actually true that lord of the rings is very similar to the ring cycle?

I have never been to a full opera, although I am planning on doing so at some point. I have seen an operetta though, The Pirates of Penzance, done by a local theatre group. It was a lot of fun and very silly.

>>12728 The only thing similar is that both entities feature a powerful ring that corrupts other people through stirring emotions of anger, greed, and hate in them, that's about it. Supposedly tolkien had no inspiration from the ring cycle, and that the similarities of a corrupting ring were just a coincidence. Both wagner and tolkien took inspiration from norse mythology for their projects though, which involve stories about rings of power, so that's why they share that connection.

>>11960 I’m listening to Le Nozze di Figaro right now, actually! I haven’t listened to much Wagner, but I really love Mozart. Carmen and The Barber of Seville are favourites of mine as well . . .

I uploaded it onto YouTube if you wanna hear it again after it gets taken off the site:

You're blind

What's keeping you up? Do you normally have trouble sleeping?

>>11435 don't know what exactly is keeping me up, i just cannot sleep, although sometimes, when i do manage to go to sleep, i'll wake up too shortly after (for a grand total of like 2 hours of sleep).

>>11436 Have you talked to a doctor about it? Do any of the go-to sleeping habits help? Like reducing screen time before bed, exercising, what have you.

>>11433 Has OP slept since then

>>12691 No, OP stayed awake for 6 months straight and attained enlightenment. He has shed his mortal form and now lives as a fluffy cloud high in the sky.

Sounds like she didn't care about you as much as you cared about her. Sometimes feelings are not reciprocated equally. Don't worry hikarin, one day you will find someone much more deserving of your love. Continue to do what makes you happy and become your best self.

>>12612 she probably was lesbian but didn't want to admit it to you. Also >she kept saying i love you in the reposts which The way people act in public is very different from the way they act in private, you never know what kind of issues someone has in a relationship until you get really deep to it. For example, a long time ago I knew some friends who were in a relationship and from the outside looked really happy and loved each other so much you would think they would never leave each other, but then some years later I found they broke out, when I asked one of them she said the other one had mental issues and was secretly lying all the time and had some personality disorder.

>>12624 thanks hikarin i realized that im not guaranteed anything in life except my death (not in a nihilistic way) and i have no control over what other people feel towards me

>>12623 will sure do <3

>>12616 That's funny. As a lesbian I almost always feel the opposite, that bi women will flirt with us but normally go for the guy in the end. Anyway, I've been in pretty similar situations, and just know you deserve better than that. I guess, my mentality is "there are probably things wrong with me that I need to fix, but there are also things the other person needs to do too," and here your ex just wasn't doing the basic stuff that should be expected in any relationship. If your needs aren't being met and your partner won't talk to you about that, then that's a real problem that can't really be solved (she herself refused to help solve it with you). I hope you find a girlfriend that is better for you, hikarin! I believe in you!
