The last line speaks to me. I’ve been listening to the ghost inside forever and it’s always been a kind of therapy. It’s like I feel seen, you know. Life’s swinger hard but I’m swinging harder, right. Not all hardcore is super uplifting, that’s positive stuff is really what draws me to it. Amazing to me what that to me that some people don’t like it. Ya, just gunna pretend you ain’t angry or sad or confused. Now that I think about it is that what drake is? I never listened to him. No. Good shits not on the radio, it’s all love songs with a few outliers, I like Alicia cara.
Anyway my girlfriend can’t drive. 31 and no interest. We’ll no real interest. I was late to driving too, but at 21, I knew my family didn’t believe in me. So I asked a friend. I took what I knew from my drivers Ed and I asked a friend if I could use her car for the test. She said yes and I passed. I went out and got it. Most people think family always got them or there will be a right. Not true. Why am I always late and stress? Because you can’t drive and you have to go places. Plus your sleep sucks and you don’t outside. But cars are expensive, gas, tax, insurance, tags, repairs. Bitch, you just dropped 1600 dollars at Disneyland like it was nothing. Life sacrifices. I’ve been encouraging this person for almost 7 years. In that time she got a permit and let it expire, her dad died who would take her everywhere. He died and she died and got a second permit, which is really on the way to expiring. I wanna be compassionate. But I don’t think her inability to drive has to do with sadness. It’s she’s being lazy and expects shit to be easy. I’m stressed and annoyed being around it and hearing what she can’t do.

Hi there,

Thank you for being here and for sharing with us. It can take a lot to keep swinging back when life gets tough and it’s wonderful to hear this positive, realistic angle on handing challenges. I’m also impressed by your problem-solving in getting your license, despite the upset of no help from your family.

I know you mention getting stuck lugging your girlfriend around, and in feeling like you’re “carrying” the team – financially and logistically. This 100% is stressful and it makes sense that you’d be annoyed considering all that’s been going on. These sorts of frustrations can be so painful, and I really do feel for you in this regard.

With that said, I know it’s a tough time right now so I hope things improve or start to feel better soon. Wishing you all the best,
Tuna

Hey,
Music is really awesome and it’s great that you found something that makes you feel seen. And as for Drake, it really just depends on the person.

It’s great that you’ve got a license and i cant even imagine how tough it must have been for you to go through that, and it sounds like you’re frustrated over your girlfriend’s lack of interest in driving and I fully understand why. The first step to fixing an issue is identifying the cause and you’ve already done that which is amazing.

Have you tried talking to her about it? In situations like these sometimes there’s other factors at play that might not be laziness. I sincerly hope you guys work it out and that things get better for you in the future.

Hey there,

It’s nice to hear how the Ghost Inside’s music has been an anchor to you. As you said, there really is something special in the way this band, and so many others, convey the raw emotions we can feel within, then magnified 10 times stronger with music. It’s truly special when what you’re experiencing within is reflecting through someone else’s words. Just a strong way to feel less alone while we’re trying to figure out our way in this crazy thing called life.

I also hear you out about the situation with your girlfriend, and it’s completely understandable to feel tired of it. It’s hard when someone depends on you for something such as driving, which solicits by definition a lot of your time and energy. At the same time, it’s challenging to see someone you love struggling/having a hard time doing something that seems, at first, something easy to solve or accomplish.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been myself experiencing loss/grief that has hit me way deeper than I could have imagined at first, and that experience has been the trigger for depression to sink in. And unfortunately, when you are depressed it’s not just about sadness or laziness. It’s a lot more about having a real impossibility to do things that are seemingly simple to achieve. With your girlfriend, it sounds like there’s been resistance there to get her permit again, which is not necessarily laziness or a lack of willingness. Sometimes, there are obstacles at play in our mind that are, indeed, beyond our control until we get the support we need to understand it. You know, maybe driving represents something stressful for her and she is ashamed to talk about it. Maybe it is associated to her dad and it’s difficult to get back to it. Maybe she isn’t feeling well at all and need an ear to listen to her.

I know it’s particularly challenging though, especially when you are the partner seeing your significant other in rut. On one hand you want to be supportive, on the other hand it feels like patience is not limited. It sounds that, overall, it could be interesting for both of you to have an open conversation about this issue - in a respectful and loving manner. And if that doesn’t seem possible, couples counseling could be worth considering too. Somehow, when we are struggling emotionally, it may look like “just” laziness, but it’s often much more complex than that. I’ve been there myself, and without good conversations, patience from my partner and accountability on my part (seeing a therapist, for example), my own depression would probably have been the end of our relationship at some point. It’s possible to work through those struggles together though.
