Good day, and welcome to Bus Stop - a small talk message board. Registration is not required and each post remains on the site for only a day, after which, it disappears.

If you find this place empty, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's completely abandoned. Feel free to make a post to start a discussion, perhaps someone will see it and reply!

Bus Stop is intended to be a stress free environment for talking with strangers. Try to keep a relaxed demeanor when posting, please don't say anything that might ruin the other person's day.
I hope we meet again.

Bus Stop uses an extended version of WakabaMark markup code for post formatting.
The basic features are as follows:
  • Surround text with * or _ to make it italic. _Like this_ or *like this*.
  • Surround text with ** or __ to make it bold.
  • Surround text with %% to make a spoiler
  • Make an unordered HTML list by beginning each line with *, or -. You can add line breaks in list entries by breaking the line and indenting the next line with one or more spaces.
  • Make ordered HTML lists by beginning the first line with "1."
  • Make quote sections by beginning each line with ">". Highlighting text and then clicking the post number will quote the selected text.
  • Make code sections by indenting each line by four spaces or one tab. Code sections get shown in a monospaced font, and are not otherwise formatted.
  • Make external links by just typing the URL you want to link to. Post references like >>0 can be created by clicking the post's number and are automatically turned into links. You can link posts from other boards like this >>>/test/#0. The first youtube link in the post gets embedded, unless the post has a file attachment.
If you want to make a large post with complex formatting you can test if everything looks right here.

Please fill in the subject field with a clearly defined topic when appropriate. This not only enables browsing the site like a regular message board by filtering posts with the same subject but also serves another purpose. Subjects have a longer lifespan than posts; this means that even when a subject's thread is empty, it remains in the list for several days since the last post. In the event that this board is empty, it should help a new user or someone who hasn't visited the site for a long time understand what kind of things were being discussed recently.
The board's look can be customized from the options menu, which is accessible by clicking [+] in the bottom right corner of the sidebar. Available options are as follows:
  • [theme]: switches the visual style of the site.
  • [Mona]: enables the Mona font. If your browser has problems with rendering it, turn it off to use a system font.
  • [⟳]: enables auto reloading of the page each 90 seconds.
  • [?]: controls visibility of the info post.
Options are stored in your browser's cookies, be sure to enable them, if you want to save your settings.

Bus Stop is also available through this URL vip.bus-stop.net
This is the JavaScript-free mirror of the site, so if you like, you can use it to browse the scriptless version of Bus Stop without disabling JavaScript in your browser.
Please note, that you need to solve a captcha to make posts with disabled JavaScript.

My girlfriend just broke up with me :( I had known her for the last 3 years and we dated for the last year. It was just her birthday the other day and we had such a good time. I know I can move on but I don't have anything going on for me at the moment, and that makes me feel a lot worse than anything else. Feels like everything has gone wrong so quickly.

Everything is calm tonight.
I can hear the rain playing on the roof, this have been going on the whole day.
It's that and the calm cafe jazz from the living room.

It's not a bad place to be, here by the river in southern Norrland.
Tonight I don't want to read, I don't feel like writing much either, no movies or youtube, no hobbies.. just calm and nothing.
I'm just thinking and existing, time rolls by.

Calm and nothing... After all, that is where I ended up; this is the moment everything lead to.
All those years...

Where are you tonight?

i’m too online to have much success making irl friends. i’m not online enough to stomach the terminally online discord / reddit crowds.

I'm borderline chronically online but I just prefer places that are easier to manage.

Terminally online discord crowds are just not worth it, there's barely any point in looking for anything within spaces designed for terminally online offtopic noise.

Why did you value your relationship with your (past) GF ?
It sounds like a rough question, but please answer with honesty.

I valued how close I was with her. I am not a very emotional person, and I struggle with relationships, but I felt that I could be a bit more open with her than anyone else. We were (are?) friends for a long time and I felt comfortable with her, I valued her friendship a lot. Around her it felt like nothing else mattered and everything would be fine even for just a moment.

Halloween in a week! Any plans?

I'm stuck at a big party college and am too busy to make a costume, so I'll probably just make a cute dinner & eat discounted candy :-) If anyone has a favorite Halloween/autumn movie or show I'd loove to hear some opinions...
It's barely fall here so it's way harder to get in the mood- my sister's up visiting my hometown in the Northeast for the week and I'm crazy jealous :'(

I'm a bit jealous of the big Halloween party, it was a few years since we had one now and that circle of people kind of split since then so it's never happening again in that constellation. Good memories...

If someone asks why you did not dress up, what if you convince them that you are a doppelganger that shapeshifts into the people they just consumed, confess vague hints of your dark nature and you will fit in with the crowd... And make a weird move that takes you out of normal character, a little glitch of the facade. How about that haha?
I know it's unsolicited advice, I just felt a bit of nervousness going without dress code confidence and played with it..
I hope you will have a good evening and please savour it along with the cute food and discount candy! ;)

I'm going to have an art exhibition in the gallery and after that a movie night with friends.
We are going to watch some old horrors: Grave encounters 1 and 2 this time.

They are pretty good and less known movies, Everyone I know that have seen them likes them.
They are probably available out there on the torrent sites or even streamable.

I'm sorry it's a hard time.
That was an abrupt ending, just after her birthday. What ended it like that?
What you felt with her sounds beautiful and real, meaningful. Remember that is still you, it does not leave you.
Take care anon!
