I had an extraordinary experience today, but it didn’t relate to a hobby or career or political topic. I tried to find an appropriate community but I guess I don’t have the right terms. Where can one turn to share triumphs, defeats, and sacred moments?
I call my mother, she’s always happy to hear what’s going on
This.
OP, if your mother is still with us, give her a call. Maybe just ask her how her day was. Maybe save your stuff for a call tomorrow.
I’m calling my mom tomorrow. She’s like 1% fuddy now and tells the same stories, but she really likes those stories.
That’s so sweet. The time we have with our loved ones really is a gift
Are you looking for an online space or an irl space? Online you can try /casualconversation
Could you link to what instance it’s hosted on? (Eg !casualconversation@<instance>)
I’ll often post things that I don’t know where to post on Mastodon.
I don’t really go anywhere per-se. I tell my wife, and if it’s especially big I’ll tell a friend or two.
I talk to my beautiful wife, but she’s a neurotypical accounting genius, so I know half the shit I say sounds like a child talking about brontosauruses.
Mom somehow feigns interest and I never fully clue in. Teach a 75 year old woman about kubernetes? Ok. Walk her through upgrading her video card over the phone? Sure! It’s only after that I realize she just wants to hear my voice.
Haha I feel that. When I talk to my wife, I often have to preface my ramblings with “I know you don’t care about this, but…”
For the triumphs maybe: !the_refrigerator@lemmy.world
!nowhereelsetoshare@sh.itjust.works is for exactly this!
My therapist
To me i’m the keeper of dreams, the warden of secrets etc . etc.etc all in all you can talk to me cause i’m bored.
Sounds like !chat@beehaw.org (hopefully I wrote that tag correctly!) would be a good fit. I hope to read about your experience there! :) It’s not a fun feeling, having something happen and wanting to tell people about it but not really having a good person/people to tell.

I go to Belle Isle and release my frustrations at Canada. Helps makes their flowers grow.
I go out side and rant to the clouds. It helps, trust me!
