Today was the first day I didn’t feel homesick

I’m a college student in my third year.
Last year was really tough for me. My mental health was awful (mostly because I was in a very stressful “home” situation with a roommate), I lost my grandfather (and lost my grandmother the previous year). I ended up failing two classes, but passed them this time with an A and an A+.
I got back to my college apartment today. I was scared and nervous because I had been home for so long during the winter break. I usually feel horribly homesick the first few days because it’s an adjustment.
I haven’t cried at all or felt sad that I wasn’t at home anymore. I don’t know if it’s because I love being on my own and I’m able to do what I want.
Maybe I’m excited for my class tomorrow, but I’m not sure.

CMV: I want boring politics

I don't want unprofessional showpeople to come and rally up a certain group of interest and who go about everything according to their ideology.
I want boring, pure public servants who want to gather data to understand each phenomenon and utilize resources to tackle each issue in order of urgency and try to find the best overall solution, prioritizing the most socioeconomically vulnerable group for social sustainability. I want people who are there to do their job and not try to paint an image for their voters, like by "fighting woke culture" to please close-minded people who have not met a trans person or a person of color once in their lives.
I want parlaments that pause akwardly when someone even says the word 'woke' during a conference and goes on discussing something else entirely. There's actual policymaking to be done, like ways to help citizens find employment. I want demagogues stuck in an image of a past that never was to get laughed at by those who get back to actual work.
I want boring, tasteful debates in elections. I want people with no charisma, who are focused on understanding their area of specialty. Are they entertaining? No. But they are there to do their job and

I feel utterly incapable of finding love

It seems so useless anymore. I’m about to be 20 and I’ve had one girlfriend and that was by a miracle. I was homeschooled most of my childhood and it’s made me socially inept, albeit my sister was too but she has good social skills so maybe I’m just broken.
Any time I see a girl I’m interested in I just get depressed. It feels like a waste of time to even speak to them. I have and it never goes anywhere, I always carry the conversation.
I just feel like a complete loser. I always hear people talking about their dating/sex lives and it just saddens me so damn much. I wish I wasn’t made the way I am.
People always tell me to build a life that makes me happy single and I’ve tried so hard and it doesn’t work. I’ll be happy for a while but it’s never my default, I always come back to feeling this way eventually. I’m about to start working full time doing something I enjoy, I’ve got plans to move out on my own, and overall feel like I have a lot of freedom. I’m on break from college right now and I have just spent my days doing whatever I want to. I should be content but I’m not.

How much of the world history events/facts do you think is hidden from us?

What if Charlie Kirk is actually still alive or MJ is still alive or whoever we think is "dead" is still alive or died long before and the person who is dead is just an imposter, I really don't know anymore because everything in society is contradictory, some people still think the Moon landing is real, 9/11 was done by a Al queda or that Democracy still exists or one of the biggest ones COVID was legit and that the only way to stay safe was to stay indoors, wear a mask and get the poison.. I mean "vaccine" and then we were meant to believe all these celebrities got it too so we should,I Never get got the poison though. There's certain people that I respect like George Carlin (rip) David icke, philosophers like Alan watts(RIP), Carl Jung(RIP) , Donald trump (I'm just kidding I don't respect that piece of shit) who I think knew/know too much but they're either smart enough to not tell everyone everything so or even if they did they don't have a large enough following to threaten the elitists, but I definitely think that most historical events have been tampered with by the Jews , like WW2 and Adolf Hitler, the Jews as a whole are evil and I'm not saying this as a fact but I think Hi

I helped a lady at the gym gain confidence and it resulted in her getting a divorce

So over the past few months, I have been doing a specific Pilates class 3X a week. In this class, I met a lady who first showed up real timid, kind of shy, and dressed in lots of layers and almost tried to purposely stay fully covered (nothing wrong with this, but in a high intensity class, that is tough).
Over time, I’d gradually say hi to her, work out side by side and as the weeks went on, I began to learn more about her.
Turns out she was a married woman with 3 kids and her husband was a stay at home gamer. He brought in no income and apparently always told her that her clothes were “getting tight” and that she should consider “hitting the gym more often.” And I never tried to dig into it but she vented about it all the time.
As time went on, she began to come into class with a smile on her face, she started dressing confidently, and you could just tell that she was starting to find herself and it was so nice to see!
Well last week she came in and we did class and all that went well and afterwards she said:
“hey, so I did something crazy!” and when I asked her what she did, she said:
“I finally decided to leave him. And I wanted to thank you for helping me find myself again and
