Anon, everything about this post is super cute. I'm really happy for you and how well your relationship is going. I'm pretty much in your same shoes when it comes to feeling emotionally withdrawn but being in a relationship where I said "I love you" to someone for the first time. It was cathartic when I finally managed to get it out. You'll say it when you're ready. Good luck to the both of you. ♥

I've finally started to write! I've always had OCs and stories in my mind as far as I can remember and writing was my favorite subject in school, but I never tried to do it for myself because I feared it would be too autistic or cringy. I started two days ago and I love doing it, when I'm at work I can't wait to go home and write again. For now I'm just writing down summaries of the characters and world building, but it feels so good to put my thoughts somewhere. I don't know if I'll try to write narrative works (I've always envisioned my stories in a more visual media like a comic), but writing is such a fun activity.

I've felt so miserable for so long, ugly and stupid. I even felt too stupid to ever figure out how to drive, let alone live on my own. For years I convinced myself my abuse happened because I was that weak and pathetic that I deserved it. I went out on a limb and moved out, thanks to one friend helping me. It seemed like it was all for nothing because I was basically living on people's kindness, working retail jobs that felt like they'd be my whole life, and that was when it was good and I had a job. Every day I thought I should go back to my abuser and just give in because at least there I knew how things worked. COVID made everything worse and I felt so lost. Yesterday I got a real job in my field that pays well, with benefits, and I'm so happy I can't even watch TV or read a book because I just want to fully bathe in how happy I am. I am so happy I persevered and got a degree, that even with how horrible I felt I left my abuser behind and started my life, a real life. I am so grateful to my friends who stood by me and supported me even though I was basically a shell of a human being. When I get my first paycheck, I want to buy all the gift ideas I'd bookmark and could never think of getting them. I'm so happy I could cry.

I had to go to the emergency today for self-harm. There weren't many people in line luckily, but the guy in front of me must've noticed I was stressed and in what he considered to be a worse state than him and actually offered to let me go first. Since they weren't busy he was still ushered in by the doctor and I wish I got to thank him. It was really kind of him.

Late answer but honestly the most ironic thing is this self-harm wasn't my most severe but it just kept bleeding quite badly despite applying pressure and all that so I had no choice but to go get help. TMI but the last few years I've usually cut down to fat so definitely on the severe scale but I've avoided the emergency room until now.

>>691960
Thank you, anon. I thought I was "ok" but understood I was fucked while out in public. Had to sit down somewhere semi-private to assess the situation and had to hide my bloody hands from everyone in my pockets on my way to the nearest bathroom. Honestly I might've smelt like blood at that point. It was horrible. The doctor was so so nice to me though. I'm doing okay considering, just very drained. It's a mental addiction for me at this point sadly, it's been almost 10 years on and off now. I feel so ashamed of all the things I haven't accomplished because I'm so scared and so tired. I'm going to try my best to fight these impulses and do positive things but it's really hard.

My room is neat so I can't really answer your question, but I like reading the room cleaning subreddit and they ALWAYS say it's because of depression. Like 90% of the posts call it a 'depression nest'.

My room never gets cluttered to that level but I am pretty messy in general. I guess the mess doesn't really bother me until it does, and then I clean it up and that turns into an instant mood-booster for a day or two because it's actually really nice being in a clean, tidy environment…then the cycle repeats.
I'm curious what other messy anons say. Because I do make and break promises to myself that I'm going to be tidier all the time. It's honestly probably laziness though…

If you spend all day sleeping or never go home except to sleep, then you only have to stand it for a few waking minutes a day. One of the things they do for some hoarders is make them sit and notice the mess.

I bought a husbando dakimakura on a whim and I'm so looking forward to receiving it!!! I told my boyfriend about regretting not having one when I was suicidal and alone. Turns out he doesn't mind me owning one at all and even wants to hug it himself kek though tbh the pillow is of a generic otome husbando that I enjoy and not my one true husbando that I relate to and who is my comfort character - I would feel uncomfortable having a pillow of him because it would be crossing a line kek. Good thing there is no such cover available because I would be tempted nonetheless
The cover is cute and rather nonsexual, I don't like overtly sexy dakis especially since I live with my bf and I have zero interest in humping it or whatever.

I'm too disgusted to clean up, basically, so I always say "I'm going to do it later". There's only one corner in my room that is consistently clean, because I spend time in that corner. And I try not to touch the other areas.
Anyway I don't have clutter on the floor or on my bed like in that pic, that's truly disgusting.

What made you get the reduction?
It's something that's been on my mind since I grew breasts basically. Mine are not debilitating, but things would be easier with smaller boobs clothing wise and I'd probably not have as much back pain. My husband's a bit scared of it because it's a surgery that's not 100% needed and he's basically afraid of me dying on the operating table. inb4 "He just doesn't want you to have smaller breasts" - he's a foot/leg fetishist, he doesn't give the slightest fuck about my boobs.

I remember meeting my surgeon for the first time for my consultation and he actually told me he thinks I need one (not as bluntly though) my first consultation was Sept 4th 2018 and my surgery was June 17th 2019. It was meant to be April but I had to push it back for other reasons.

I've had a Macbook Pro for years and am finally getting a gaming laptop for christmas in a few days. The Mac was great for traveling and school but the processing on mine sucks so watching movies/videos has been a struggle. I bought it with my own money in high school so it was like the shittiest option for the Pro in terms of storage (128 gb storage, 8 gb memory for nerds). Obviously I also haven't been able to play legit games in years except when I was dating my ex who let me use his gaming laptop to play the Sims 4 and also had a PS4. Ultimately I'm gonna keep the Mac for my computer to use when traveling (for casual computer stuff) but I'll use the gaming laptop for actual entertainment.

i went back to uni last year at 27 after dropping out due to my constant panic attacks in class. i basically failed all my classes in first year. last year i got 100 on two exams, and 80-90s in all my courses! this year I've only got two grades back but they're 80s (which is an A, i'm in Canada). it feels really weird to be getting such high grades at a prestigious uni when my whole life I've been told that i could never do it.. i'm just so happy.

I was able to go out and pick up a mini burnt cheesecake for her (chocolate flavor, and a matcha and strawberry one for my family to have on Christmas day) and left it on her desk for her to return to hehe. I shouldve bought her a new container of the fenty lipgloss she uses since shes always out but I was worried it would be a lame gift idea to cop out and buy something she’s already using but it turns out she would’ve loved it lol oh well. She really liked the cheesecake and is excited to try the tea though! I’m excited to share this cake with my family. I feel so excited for the holidays! I

I finished my fall term with all A's! I really thought I was done for because I basically gave up toward the end and was willing to accept a B in my statistics class. I even purposely left essay questions on one of my finals blank because it was already past due anyway and I didn't care, but I guess I clutched it! Having all online classes was such a bummer. I'm taking fewer classes next term, but I'm just happy to have a break right now. Woohoo!

I’m not a very big chocolate fan but I looove Royce chocolate. It’s so smooth and creamy, my coworker said it kind of reminds her of ice cream (since its meant to be eaten chilled)! It’s very expensive here in the US (like almost $20 for a teeny tiny box) so I almost never buy it because as much as I love it (its only like $8 for a box in Japan). Go for it if you want, but I don’t want to get your hopes up and your money wasted!! I love love loooove it so much, it’s the only chocolate I would ever gorge myself on lol. I did post a copycat recipe somewhere upthread or in the last positivity thread if youd like to try making it! It’s an insanely easy recipe but the chocolate taste is dependent on the baking chocolate bars you use (texture is pretty spot on though).

I found a super old Pichu plush that I loved as a kid.

Also kept an old Pikachu plush I found too because they just don't make fat pikachus like they used to (don't worry they are both getting a very thorough wash before joining me on my bed). I don't care if I'm an adult, I love plush toys so much and I know when my parents pass, the ratty ones I've bothered to keep since I was a kid will be the one physical reminder of their love for me.

I need to pinch myself these days, it's like I'm dreaming. I finally am defeating my biggest demons thanks to therapy and a few others' support. Every day for years I would wake up anxious, hopeless, guilty, ashamed without needing a reason in the moment. I still have those feelings as the default, but I think they're fading. Because I stop and realize "why am I upset? The thing that used to bother me is improving," and I have partly my own hard work to thank. I can't believe it but it's real!!
Ugh sorry it's vague and maybe braggy, but I am basking in how nice it feels. I never felt normal, I had constant suffering and finally I can be normal… Ahhh I'm so happy and Christmas wasn't sensational but it felt great anyhow. the year of terror is ending, I don't need next year to be better but I have faith I can make it!!

Not to be that person, I did shrooms for the first time last night and I feel like I'm still coming down off of them. But it was a really amazing experience and really helped me to break down a lot of emotional/mental walls I'd put up over the years. I feel like I finally can just speak my mind to people and say the things I always thought about them but for some reason wouldn't just tell them. Like all this time I just expected people to just read my mind and know how much I love them, care about them, how great they are & how important they are to me.

I just had this incredible outpouring of love and apprecation for all the people in my life and felt so happy that I could finally put it out there. I messaged so many people, pouring out my heart to them and rambling about how much I love them and how I feel about them. A lot of it was insane rambling, but I think they still got a lot of what I meant.

It helped me let go of so much fear & egotism, it feels like a rebirth. I'm still so tired, but I'm feeling so positive and happy.

2021 is going to be a good year.

My cat had been laying on my feet/legs for a long time and I was kind of wanting a cigarette so I slowly sat up, which usually gets her to move instantly. But this time she just kept laying on my legs and I just sat there petting her cute lil self a bit and just laid back down - not having the heart to disturb her. When laying down we looked at each other for a bit and she had her eyes relaxed, blinking slowly a bit now and then, purring despite not being petted by me anymore. It's just as if she was sending me so much extra love in that moment. It made me cry some happy tears.

After years of emotional repression caused by low-self-esteem/depression, I finally reached a breaking point, and the mask I had constructed over the years fell apart, as I sat sobbing on my bed. I told my brother about it through a sea of tears, and he was very supportive. He gave me some very good advice on the importance of self-love and the dissection of bad thoughts. That was a little over a month ago, and although there's still work to be done, I feel so much better. Today, a friend even told me that I seem like a different, better person.

Though I've been crying at least a couple of times a week and know I will continue to tear up at weird triggers for some time, I'm still amazed at how much my thought process has changed. No more petty jealousy of my best friend, no more fear of everyone laughing behind my back. It feels so great.

When I was 19 I got blackout drunk (first and only time in my life) to the point where I have several hours missing from memory and I was incapable of walking or holding consciousness for minutes at a time. This was in a public place outside with guys (just guys) I had met from uni. I think I might've been roofied but I'm not sure, either that or the vodka was expired. Two of the guys spent the night trying to sober me up, and when that didn't work they literally carried me home because no taxi would accept me on account of how drunk I was. They remembered where I lived, took me to my doorstep and made sure my parents saw me go inside.

It occurs to me how very, very wrong things could've gone. They could've left me somewhere unconscious, or raped me, or done a number of other things. We weren't close friends or anything, yet they helped me and didn't do anything wrong. My (expensive) phone was missing but I could've just dropped it somewhere during the haze. I'm very grateful that they got me home and I'm even more grateful that they didn't take advantage of me as I can imagine some men would.

I once passed out at a house party where I was the only girl left and like, 7 males. They drew allllll over me with markers: dicks everywhere, “slut” written in several places, moustache drawn, “I love cock” on my forehead. Took fucking ages to clean it all off. I hardly knew any of them either kek. I was covered head to fuckin toe and they put pics online.

Whenever I see posts like this, it fills me with such joy. I’ve been adamantly childfree my whole life and still am, but as I grow older I’ve started having a soft spot for people/relatives who are so enamored with their kids. I don’t have any siblings and I’m not close with my extended family, but I hope my close friends have kids so I can feel this joy. I want to be that aunt who always comes around with gifts or the one they can always count on for babysitting when emergencies happen or their regular babysitter bails on them.

An anon suggested intermittent fasting to me the other week and I've only been doing it for a little over a week but I think it's done really good for me. The last time I "dieted" a few years ago, I was in the midst of depression, caught up with a stupid fuckboy and was doing everything for all the wrong reasons. I'm a lot kinder to myself this time around, and it's great.

My hunger in the morning isn't anything too bothersome and I usually drink tea or water to help satiate it. I used to get bad hunger nausea in the afternoons but now I don't. I've also been calorie counting and even bought a bathroom scale (two things that were awful for me last time and helped fueled my borderline ED tendencies), and I've been doing good on them! They're helpful tools that help me track my process in a concrete way. I've gotten used to small portions and my cravings have gone down. Last time I did this, I was thinking about food 24/7, thinking about when my next meal or snack was and was so hyperaware of every little pang of hunger. Now? I eat my regular meal, and if I want some chips, I'll let myself indulge just a little bit, then I can go back to doing whatever it is I was doing without thinking about food until I'm actually hungry again. I don't even feel the need to boredom eat anymore, even with a bag of snacks right in front of me on my desk. I've lost an inch off my waist, and it might be water weight, but an inch is an inch. I don't know what my highest quarantine weight was, but I'm currently a pound heavier than when quarantine started. While I'm not sure how much progress I've made, I think I've made some headway. I hope I can get down a little more.

I'm a lot more comfortable in my body this time around, and I don't mind not having the body of an athlete. I want my body to be strong enough that I can indulge in my favorite hobbies and not have to depend on men to do some heavy lifting, but still being soft and cute is nice too.

I'm so in love with being alive and in love with myself. I don't care if it's cringey or lame, I'm so fucking happy being able to watch the glow of the sunrise on the building across the street from my window. I feel so blessed to eat hot food and have a warm home to return to every night. I think there's so much joy to be found in my existence. I love my softness, I love my strength.

I feel like I can't say this that often because it comes off as bragging, like "hey! I'm not depressed anymore! I think my life is great!" but in reality I know my life is pretty mediocre (college degree yet still have low wage basic bitch office job, not that smart, painfully average looks) but I still enjoy it so much because… I just do. I worked hard to get out of retail and find a job that lets me have time with friends and family, I worked hard through my demons to sit around with my head empty so I can stare out my window and feel peace. I hope many others might be able to enjoy the same things I do, because I know how it feels to be on the other end of the spectrum where everyday feels like I'm trudging through a field where the mud is up to my neck and I'm two seconds away from offing myself because I'm so fucking tired of being awake and alive. I used to dwell on moments of peace and always think "this is temporary and I'm scared of when it'll end" but now all I think is… so fucking what!!! If this shit is temporary I'm gonna enjoy it 110% until it's over. I don't care if the future has shit in store for me, it's not the future yet so I'm gonna relish in all the love and peace in my life right now.

Life is good and I'm happy.

Thank you anon! I changed the way I've approached a lot of things in my life and the peace and happiness came naturally after. It's hard to not feel jealous of people I know who are achieving truly great things, but I don't think there's any shame in having small goals like just living a lowkey life. Maybe it sounds really bad, but I don't think we're all meant for greatness. There's a lot of emphasis on being the next CEO of a multi billion dollar business or creating a cure for cancer or really big shit, but I'm okay just coming home and watching some TV with my parents. I'm tired of being told I have to do big things with my life, especially if it means crawling over others or being crawled over. I'll do my part to be socially and environmentally conscious, to do right by myself and my neighbors, to make my little corner of the world shine a little bit brighter.

You're awesome anon, I'm really happy you've been able to get into this mindset. As a fellow formerly depressed person (who still relapses occasionally), it's been freeing to recognize that just enjoying a cup of tea, seeing a cute cat on a walk, reading a good book and all that are "enough." The little things are what make up the vast majority of our lives and it's a shame not to appreciate them. I don't have to be deliriously happy all the time, just content. No use beating yourself up over the fact you're not retiring at 25, jet-setting around the world and making millions. Even those types can be unhappy when they aren't at peace with themselves and lack the ability to be in the moment. Life really is what you make it and I don't want to look back seeing I wasted all my time lamenting the things I didn't have rather than enjoying the things I did.

Yes, exactly!! I hope despite your relapses that you’re living your best life out there! I used to think I needed to be over the top happy to be truly “happy”. But I think this is what true happiness is (or at least, very close to it)- the peace, the quiet, the subtle joy that come in all sorts of shapes and sounds and moments. Shitty moments don’t feel all that bad either, of course things won’t ever be 100% smooth sailing, and it just makes returning back to peace all the more better.

I am working on self-esteem and making progress in general. I feel smart learning to code and finding it easy so far. I took a pic of myself from an unflattering angle but it still kinda cute I guess, and another that's normal and I think is nice. Also reminded by the other anon who I'm happy for, I'm singing a little sometimes. Sadly not skilled or confident to sing for real, but I sing in a not-caring-if-it's-bad-or-weird quiet voice, making up songs and stuff. My hope is to sing in the shower and when I'm alone.

>New job

I had so much COVID anxiety over my last job (working at a preschool) and they fired me because of that. I work at a middle school now. Not only is it a lot safer here because they actually take safety seriously, it's way easier and looks better on my resume. It's also nicer to be able to see multiple adults every day besides my critical boss and one annoying coworker that I didn't get along with at all. I'm so lucky to have my job.
>Annoying/dangerous roommate moved out
I can't believe one person moving out would make such a huge difference. My old roommate was not only annoying, but also dangerous because he insisted on going to the bar about every single day. That made me want to avoid common spaces and made hanging out with the rest of the roommates awkward because they loved him. I'm getting along way better with my new roommates. They also seem to think I'm cool which is awesome.
>Social differences
I know it's weird, but I honestly love being in middle school every day and getting to know the teachers and other staff. I'm having way more casual conversations, and it's soooo good for my mental health. I also have more free time to volunteer, so I got to meet someone cool at a nice organization in town. It seems like we're going to be working on a long-term project for the organization for the next couple of months. (I know it sounds weird, but I have to volunteer as part of my job contract)

Because of my school job I also got vaccinated yesterday. I just feel so good about everything which is amazing when I was borderline suicidal last March. Because I didn't get a ton of social interaction last year, I ended up spending wayyy too much time inside of my head. It's kind of embarrassing in retrospect.

Today I realized that I have really good best friends who love me and stand by me through thick and thin, no matter how awful I am. I make good friends and I really do love them so much. But I’ve always been afraid deep down inside that I was going to end up not being good enough for them and somehow getting my heart broken, because I came from an unstable home and friendships couldn’t last long. But it was me who would create ideas about them so that I wouldn’t miss them when they were gone. And again it was me who pushed them away to save myself. All this time they did see a genuine friend in me and treated me with love and loyalty. They won’t turn their backs on me, either. I haven’t had best friends (plural) since high school, and now I want to reconnect with those girls too. I miss them and I understand now they probably never judged me as harshly as I viewed myself, too.. I was lucky to have them in my life, and I know now I wasn’t a disposable hindrance in theirs.

Over the years, everytime I wanted to workout regularly, I was obsessed with losing weight and didn't have an actual healthy motive behind it so I didn't have discipline either and couldn't exercise for more than 10 mins.

Of course I still want to lose some weight that's bothering me but I'm not obsessed about it at all. Mostly I want to be stronger and healthier, I want to be more capable with my body.

That's awesome anon, even if you don't lose a lb you'll benefit a tonne from exercise.

My motivation to exercise regularly came from reading up on health outcomes for elderly people. It's by far the most important factor in maintaining mobility and health as you age, and even just going for a daily walk is a huge help. I want to have an awesome, active retirement so that motivation REALLY clicked with me and now I go for a walk every day I don't do my normal exercise. I'm also trying to lose weight but I know that motivation which comes from something deeper than my appearance will keep me exercising regularly even if I don't lose weight. It helps to know it doesn't have to be extremely intense work outs, as long as you keep moving that's the important thing.

There’s a bad snowstorm in my city but I got to go home from work early. It’s not too bad in my neighborhood, and my mom and I went out to the market to buy some fruit. We threw snowballs at each other and she plopped down in the snow and laughed. We had fun banter and it’s not super cold out (despite the snow). I order rechargable hand warmers for myself and my dad (mom didn’t want one). The snow is gonna be crappy to deal with but I like it because it’s pretty and makes the world feel so peaceful. I’m extra grateful to be able to come home to a warm home. Happy snow day(s) to my fellow northeastern US anons!

I’ve been doing at least 30 mins of resistance band workouts like 5/6 days a week for the past 2 months and some cardio (whenever there’s not snow on the ground which hasn’t been often) and I’m seeing results!!! I’ve always been really skinny so working out has made me eat more from being active but now I’m seeing food as fuel for these gains and not a necessary evil. Can’t wait for gyms to open back up so I can get into weight training, I’ve always been a cardio only bitch so idk it all seems so attainable! Chase your fitness dreams, anons!

I usually bring food from home for lunch but didn't get to today, so I decide to try ordering food from the 'Food For All' app I downloaded a while back. It's usually restaurants listing leftovers they have that you can buy for a cheaper price, and some restaurants around my work had pick up options midday so I decided to order from a nearby poke place. I ordered a $6 bowl that's regularly worth $12. When I got there, the lady said "there's a lot of poke left, so do you want a larger bowl?" and of course I said yes! She let me pick two choices of fish instead of just one, and gave me sooooo much food! The city I work in is really expensive, so to get so much food for $6 was a steal! The worker preparing my food was super nice too! I'm super happy and my tummy is happy too!

I've been wanting this chair since I saw it on instagram the other week, but it's always out of stock. The other day I saw that it was in stock, but only for pick up at a location that was sort of far from me so I couldn't go pick it up. I had in-stock alerts set up, and it worked once but when it notified me, it was for pick up at that same location sort of far from me… Since then I've been periodically checking the product page and when I happened to refresh just a few minutes ago, it was in stock (didn't even get an in-stock notification email)!! I zipped to buy it and got one of the two left in stock for delivery, and I'm super duper happy and excited for this chair to come in!!!! What amazing luck!! I've been weirdly obsessed with hammock and relaxing in one my whole life, but since I live in an apartment, they aren't really feasible. A lot of other hammock chairs tend to be very expensive too, this one is only $40. Maybe that cost reflects it's craftsmanship, but it has high reviews and at least if it sucks I'll return it and know I don't like it than always wishing for it.

It was my mom's birthday today, I cleaned up a little before she came home from her office space, woke up the cats to be there by the door to greet her and I had ordered her fave desserts and her fave weird beers! I had no chances to get her what I wanted to get but she loved the art prints I got her and I'm gonna pay to get them professionally framed locally.

I went out for a little Galentines date with one of my best friends last night! We went to a place that had an outdoor set up, with heated private cabins. We ordered a lot of food (one of the servers commented on it when we left lol) but I had a good time and have zero regrets ordering a bunch of food. Everything was so good, and the only thing we didn't finish was desert because it was way too rich for us. I've never done anything for Valentines because I usually don't have a partner, but I'm happy I got to celebrate with a good friend this year!

Rather than being sad and eating my feelings away that I don't have a partner, I'm just happy to have a cute little date with good food and good company. I'm happy for all the love I have in my life, from friends and family. I always think of this post I saw from an anon two years ago, and I never thought I'd ever be in a position where I am just filled with such love and happiness that I have so much to share with them. I'm in no rush to share it with just anyway, and wait patiently for the day I'll meet a wonderful person that I can share it with, and can spend future Valentines days with. I'll always be working on my life and myself, and I hope that my future partner will be a good person to the person I am trying my best to become. Hope all of you farmers have a happy Valentines day!

Anon, this makes me so happy to read. Being at peace and enjoying the simple wonders of the world is an absolutely beautiful thing and it makes me so happy that you can experience it! It used to feel impossible when you're in the depths of depression, to just be happy with existing and the things around you. It feels so silly and dumb to find peace in things like warming yourself up in the sun, stepping out and being greeted by beautiful weather and a clear blue sky (or cloudy weather if that's your cup of tea), but when you get there, it's amazing. Truly no thoughts, head empty. No intrusive thoughts to ruin my day, just staring out at the world and feeling overwhelming peace and joy at our existence in this world.

I hope you'll be able to experience many, many more of these moments anon! I used to not appreciate them and think "this will be short lived" but that's just a part of life! Other moments of peace will come, and the unsavory parts of life will make those moments of peace all the more welcomed.

i never really thought of the health benefits but there was a fact i know, that im not sure if its credible or not, but using earbuds and headphones for long duration could potentially damage hearing.

my main reason is that i tend to be more aloof when using headphones, like less outgoing and that i am also less productive with my tasks since i get really invested to listening music or videos. the only time im not wearing one is when im asleep so i spent using it for really long hours which is gross now that i realized.

Most of the time I'm absent-minded and distracted because of ADHD, but my boyfriend treats me so well. He's always telling me how cool, amazing, and intelligent I am despite me feeling like I'm fumbling over myself and always showing him my flaws. It's like he only sees the best in me, and it's helping me see more of that too. He's the most wonderful man I've ever met, I can tell he genuinely respects me and he's always going out of his way to make me happy. Just being around him makes me feel really warm. He's so sweet and chipper.

My previous exes were nice guys on the outside, but only when it was convenient and easy for them. They also never gave me genuine compliments, but would call me generic stuff like "cute" or "beautiful." I know this part sounds like humblebragging, but it feels like a world of difference when my boyfriend compliments something I did well or what he likes about me besides my appearance. And when he does compliment my appearance it's never generic shit like "u look gud bb", he notices the effort I put into my outfits and hair.

It may not sound like much just from this post, but I feel really lucky to have found him.

I am inspired to channel my inner domestic goddess and host more dinner parties and get-togethers. Even though my place is "quaint", I can't let that be an excuse to never have people over.
Here's to hosting another event before the beginning of the summer!

I got pet guinea pigs about three months ago and whenever I look at them I just get a really warm fuzzy feeling that i’m taking care of two cute creatures from the moment they were basically born (well I got them when they were three weeks old) and I get to watch them grow and develop their little ‘personalities’ as well as the fact i’m their primary caretaker so they get to know me more. I’ll go to work and then I think about coming home, playing with them and giving them their fresh veggies and it helps me get through the day. it’s been a long time since i’ve had a pet and i’m enjoying it a lot. my boyfriend loves to help out and play with them too so it makes me feel even happier that I have a partner who likes small animals and cares for them. life is going really nicely for me so far and i’ve been a lot happier lately which is something I never expected to happen and I feel like I owe it to my piggies for giving me a reason to keep going when other things in life don’t feel as certain.

I was very upset and crying for hours last night and then when I got over it I was thinking "wow other people's pets come to comfort them but my asshole dog never does it for me" and she didn't wander into my room once while I was crying. But this morning she woke up early (she's usually still sleeping when I leave for work and wakes up around the afternoon or when my parents wake up) and was very cute cuddling with me and even ate her breakfast as soon as I put it down. Maybe it was just because she was hungry, but I like to think that she was checking up on me. She brings me so much joy even if she's a tiny little asshole.

In general I consider myself very unremarkable looking, not hideous, just not someone you'd pass on the street and pay a second thought to. Then during a Zoom art workshop we were paired off and told to draw each other as an exercise. Later when we showed everyone our works, my partner showed her drawing of me and said she paid special attention to my lips because she found them so beautiful. I was genuinely surprised because I didn't like my lips all that much lol! Made me happy for the rest of the day.

I took my gf's virginity last night and it was so, so, so nice. It was my first time with a woman so I was really nervous beforehand, I wanted to make sure she'd have nothing but good memories about it. I ate her out for what seemed like an hour and I almost made her cum but when she was getting close she started squirming and twitching and moaning I lost my rhythm completely because jesus fucking christ how can you stay calm in that situation? But we had a good laugh about it and next time I'll hopefully do better. She's so cute. I'm so happy. After so many shitty relationships with scrotes I finally have the gf of my dreams.

Today I undressed to take a shower and caught a glance of myself. You know when you look in a certain direction where you don't expect to see a mirror, and you think your reflection is someone else for a split second? That happened to me, and my first thought literally was "Damn, her titties look good". Mind you, ever since mine grew in at age 11, they were always saggy, and I was extremely self-conscious about them and hated them ever since. They were probably a big reason I had my trans phase, too. But today I thought they looked sexy as hell, and in retrospect really berated myself for thinking otherwise. They seemed not even 'sexy' at that moment, but clasically beautiful, like of a Greek marble statue of a woman.

Feeling much better after a breakup! Had one last interaction with him and really found out it would be a constant stress for me to be with him. I don't have to regret a thing.

I started cleaning as soon as I came home, got dinner started (easy oven roasted recipe) after vacuuming, left food to cook while mopping, and got dinner out kind of late but still felt super accomplished at the end! I asked my cousin to buy strawberries when he was coming home because I only saw them as I was leaving and didn’t want to go back so I got to eat yummy strawberries for dessert.

I'm so hyped, my bf got picrel a few weeks ago and even though I'm not strong enough to do a real chin up, just hanging from it and doing stuff like pointing my toes and bringing my knees to my chest has already resulted in my legs and butt looking more trim, my abs firming up, and for the first time in my life I have some muscle definition in my back. My horrible posture has also improved dramatically, like I don't feel the scoliosis constantly pressing my spine into a curve anymore.

I got my first vaccine shot today!

The weather is chilly and cloudy, which is how it normally feels when I come here for a con… Getting through was super quick, which was great because I know my mom had to wait 1+ hours to get her shot here. While I was sitting in the observation area, they had volunteers playing music and they played a cover of Viva La Vida which is, for whatever reason, one of my favorite songs and reminds me of Code Geass because of this one amv I watched over 10 years ago. Just weird vibes but I’m happy I got my first vaccine dose! A lot of people around me are rightfully wary, but I figure that if the vaccine doesn’t take me out, then covid will.

I think I'm curing my bulimia. My throat no longer hurts 24/7, I look way more rested and I no longer have a shameful drawer full of junk to binge and purge.

The electric toothbrush market is so overwhelming, I spent days reading reviews. I'll admit that I almost went with one of the newest high end Sonicare toothbrushes because I thought it charging in the glass cup through inductive charging looked cool as hell, but I would accidentally knock that shit off the counter so fast lol. I'm really happy with the brush I settled on, just a simple two modes with a pressure sensor and internal timer. The kids version also comes with one more extra brush head compared to the adult one I think. My family has a waterpick but it makes my mouth so uncomfortable with how ticklish it is so I'll just stick with regular floss.

I just need to gush, this week has been excellent and I’m both proud of myself and grateful for the time and place in my life I’m living through right now. Today I responded to a dilemma I’ve been avoiding facing in a way that showed my growth and maturity, and this week when fate (if you believe in such a concept) was tempting me to be cruel to myself or compromise my morals to please both people I want to, I held my ground and politely navigated my way through the interaction without myself or anyone getting their feelings hurt or misunderstood. The metaphorical icing on my really great week-cake is that my gf and I talked about gender for the first time in a long time and found we have more in common than we thought in the sense that we both were afraid to bring it up to the other and relieved to find we had so much common ground, plus I love hearing her talk her voice is so soothing and she’s so intelligent so it was a really good interaction. Earlier today before talking to her I was lurking terf-tok on another really smart woman’s profile and just watched tra’s have meltdowns for tdov, she’s so clever it makes me feel dumb in the best way, like in a way where I learn something. I’m excited to feel like I can talk to people with more ease than previously, and learn from more women. Pls no bully or ban for talking about dumb gendercrit stuff I just feel like the last few days things have been getting better for the first time in years and I’ve been gentler and more open with myself, thank you to anyone who reads this.

Hello anons, a few things had happened that had made me reflect on a lot of aspects of my life. I finally decided to just be more open about my feelings and try to change for the better.

I'm finally going to be honest to my crush on Discord. No more stalking, no more secrets, nothing. Just an actual conversation face to face for once. I don't know if he is going to accept my feelings, but I don't mind anymore. I just want both of us to be happy, and if that means that we should find a different person for each other, I understand.

Anyways, wish me luck anons. Whatever the result is now, at least he and I made each other happy for a while.

my job is regularly like this on weekends. i work overnights and my busy work only takes at most 2 hours to complete, so i have 6 hours of free time throughout my shift. on weekdays i get 4-5 hours of free time, it's still a great environment. i sometimes sneak in an hour or two of sleep lol. my supervisor is laxed about it since he's been in my position for a few years. majority of the time i just play video games or read books. at one point i was doing comissions for my friends, so i was basically getting paid on top of getting paid, but i got tired of hauling in my laptop and drawing tablet. my laptop has turned to shit, so that's out of the question for now.

I don't want to take it down though, because I know how it feels to have a fic you like taken down without word. I posted it anonymously so it doesn't really matter whether I keep up a piece of cringey writing or not heh. I never expected people to like it but people have commented such nice things about wanting more of my characters and enjoying their dynamic, and even asking if I would post off anon so they could follow me… I can't believe it!

Yesterday was grooming day for my dog. I bought new hair shears just for her because we've never taken her to the groomers before and I think it might stress her out too much to start now (she's very old). I only wanted to trim her butt for sanitary reasons and I think I did a decent job! Her butt looks so funny and cute now when she walks, and I trimmed some fur on her front legs that tends to drag on the ground and get dirty very easily too. She didn't fuss too much when I trimmed her nails and also got a bath. Now she is a clean puppy, ready for all the snuggles.

I felt very lonely yesterday because it was my day off and no one else was home, so I decided to check out the arcade. I was coming home from the dollar store, so I said fuck it, let's do another stop. That was a really fun hour.

Hell yeah! I used to frequent arcades/game centers a lot when I studied abroad in Japan and they were so much fun. I did sink a lot of money and arguably developed a borderline addiction to them because of depression, but I have a lot of fond memories of having fun by myself. My friends would sometimes see me glance at an arcade and suggest we go in because they knew I liked them too, and playing games with friends and then doing photobooths was always the best! I miss arcades so much, there's almost none in my city.

When I first hit puberty I had terribly heavy periods with the worst cramps. On the worst days I'd be overwhelmed with nausea and overheating. Then as I grew older the worst of the cramps and nausea subsided, until my dumb scrote obgyn gave me the patch for birth control (fuck him but that's a different post). My cramps came back and it sucked. I got a new obgyn who agreed to let me have the IUD (which is what I've always wanted) and now not only am I cramp and nausea free, I basically only get my period once a year if anything kek.

I made a little tie-up bag for my lightpad to start off with something simple but I can't wait to start on clothes again. Is there anything more satisfying than topstitching?! Huh?!!?

I finally ditched my formerly abusive ex for good. He didn't do anything wrong of late, I just felt exhausted interacting with him and dealing with the anxiety of wondering if/when he'd eventually revert back to being cruel and manipulative even as a "friend." In the past I would've spent hours crying over losing him and our interaction ending, but now I genuinely just feel relieved and free. I'm looking forward to focusing on myself and my happiness without relying on him for a sense of worth.

I felt pretty shitty and exhausted after bad things kept happening to me last few weeks but I still did all the very difficult things I needed to do! I still pushed through and managed, maybe not with best possible outcomes but it was good enough. I also managed to keep up with everyday yoga to make my mental state better. I didn't give up.
My goal now is to just power through next week and love myself. It's all gonna be okay in the end, bad things will pass.

As my 20s are slowly coming to a close, I realized I am 100% comfortable living as the slight eccentric I've always been. I didn't allow myself to enjoy or do a lot of things because I was worried other people would think it was too weird or cringey. But now I don't care anymore, I am going to start that doll collection, buy all the plushies, crystals & cringe anime merchandise, start wearing lolita, grow my hair as long as it will go.

I'm actually looking forward to the freedom of being in my 30s and being considered "past my prime" by scrotes & society at large. Feels like a sort of freedom to be considered irrelevant, I'll be free to do whatever I want.

I had a great time just being out again and buying some cute things, it really cleared up my head.

I hate when women propagate the "past my prime" bullshit against themselves, particularly on here.

It's one of those simple solutions that's harder to put into practice. You have to ask yourself if wearing a mask and contorting yourself into someone you aren't is worth it to maintain relationships with people who would abandon the real you. If someone would stop interacting with you because you have some arcane interest then were they ever really your friend in the first place? No, so it's no great loss. But in being your real self you'll attract other people who like the same things or may have been too shy to express they have the same interests as well, and your friendships will be stronger for it.

Maybe I'm just a Disney princess wannabe but have you ever tried talking to them?

I'm like at the verge of tears.
The past few days/ weeks everything in general has been stressfull af. I gotta hand in my criminal law thesis tomorrow and I still have to write on that. I broke my rib laughing 4 weeks ago. I had so much unnecessary trouble with my insurance company because they thought I wasn't in my parents plan anymore and wanted to charge me 12000€ (luckily they did realise that was a mistake)
My boyfriend is gone on a motorcycle trip today and I thought you know what. Fuck cooking. I'm broke af but I really want some pizza, I probably have enough change laying on my desk for the Dominos Lunch Menu. I did. So I order myself this bad boi right here. Cash ready for when the order arrives and then boom:
SOMEONE ALREADY PAID FOR YOUR ORDER INCLUDING TIP! HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I have no clue who they are. Why they've decided I deserve some free Pizza. But this makes me so goddamn happy. It's like life was like: Look there is still a lot you gotta do; but I've been a little hard on you have some free Pizza.

The total order was like 11€ so it's not like it was a lot of money. But fuck this is just so damn nice.
I hope whoever paid for it has the greatest day ahead of them.

I didn't know a free pizza would make me almost cry but I'm also super stressed and on my period, with a broken rib so yeah.

Here is the beauty. So yeah I will enjoy some free pizza and I hope life gives you some free pizza too! (That's actually a great metaphor)

I don't even remember the pun, all I know is there was a fuckton of pain suddenly and I could barely move. Went to the hospital and they explained I broke my rib because I was putting too much pressure on it while laughing. This is so sad it's funny and I could break another rib laughing about it.

I started doing morning stretches, which turned into morning yoga, when I returned back to work after lockdown. It was to help my incredibly stiff body (insane amounts of time playing ACNL during lockdown lol) but also help me wake up since getting out of bed early again was rough. Now it's just a part of my routine, and I hate it when I can't do even just a short 10 minute routine. I don't do workouts or anything, but I'll browse around for a 15-20 minute video that I think looks easy enough and I think it's such a great way to start my morning. I love to look out my window and see the glow of the morning sun on the buildings across the street. Something about it fills me with such joy and peace and I'm grateful to be able to see it every morning and I feel like it feeds my soul, as cheesy as it sounds.

I've been getting out of bed just a little bit earlier, minute by minute, as the days and weeks go by, just so I can spend more time doing yoga. My goal is to actually be up and out of bed at 6am (I usually wake up and go back to sleep lol) and do a reeeeeeeally long practice, maybe even some work outs. For now, it's just 15 to 20 minutes of some nice slow stretches.

I don't know, I just expected them to hate me and was prepared for them to say my work is terrible even though I've been there for years. I guess it's just my depression getting the best of me. Sometimes it's hard to remember there are good people in the world. I'm trying to be okay, I'm really trying, and I'm thankful they are kind to me for whatever reason.

I’m the baby carrot anon in the vent thread

I got drunk and ate a normal meal with my mom (huge bowl of Korean food) and fried calamari, had two candy bars

And decided that I wasn’t going to treat myself like shit tonight or punish myself for indulging

Like who HASNT gained weight during this past year

I’m not even overweight like damn why am I shooting myself in the foot. I had so much fun with my mom just talking and getting things off my chest and I’m going to make a blueberry and lemon cake for Mother’s Day for her at her place… ahhh

And I’m watching a good movie about beauty YouTube drama and vibing with my cat

Okay, I’ve polluted this thread with too much sub negativity, here’s to not being a bitch to yourself for ONE night.

It's a step in the right direction! I hope you'll have many more nights where you can be kind to yourself, you deserve it!

I also felt terrible about gaining weight because of the pandemic and lockdown even though I didn't gain too much noticeable weight (pants definitely didn't fit though lol), but I've learned to view it as "as least I was fortunate to be in a situation where we could afford snacks and food to cook every night" instead of being down in the dumps for snacking a little too much.

I'm getting much better at translating, I'm so happy! It's my main hobby and I translate mangas and doujinshis just for myself, and I see how faster I read and how much more vocabulary I remember (which has always been my biggest weakness when learning japanese).

I started playing on an aging pet site again to live out my teenage dreams despite being older, and I was worried I’d be the odd one out… but I found a whole discord full of older women to hang out with that play too! Moms, even grandmothers!
So much of my adult life online has lived in caustic moid communities, I didn’t realize how much I missed interacting with women. It’s been a really nice change during an otherwise very physically and mentally difficult time.

I was actually thinking of female professors when I posted that (and I'm straight), but I do have an enduring crush on a former male prof who's a good decade older than me. He's married with kids, plus he's genuinely a good guy so neither of us would touch on anything beyond friendship, but it's definitely attractive when an older man actually has his shit together rather than just playing at being an adult.

>>795043
This is really sweet anon! I'm in my late 20s and still visit virtual pet sites now and then. I think it's so cute and wholesome places like that are where even older women tend to congregate. I'm also in some Discord servers entirely composed of women and I agree that it's a relief to be surrounded by people you know can relate to you and aren't going to bust out gross or sexist commentary out of the blue. At this stage in my life I could really see myself getting behind separatism if it was more feasible, but engaging in women-only spaces as much as possible is still a good balm for the soul.

I love my gecko sm. She really works with my schedule bc I usually have work/school & am out of the house all day, but when I come home in the evening she's awake and active. I've had small nocturnal pets before like hamsters but they were a bit more maintenance and sadly have a much shorter lifespan. I think she doesn't mind not being let out as often as mammals do because she spends most of the day under her heat hide anyway. She also just chills with me when I'm studying or on the computer, I don't have to worry about her wondering off too far. She's the perfect pet for me right now!

I will be utterly destroyed if I'm jumping the gun here, but I think the interview went really well. I knew the HR girl already and she only asked really basic HR questions (what salary are you looking for, when can you start, etc), but the other interviewer is someone I don't know and he came in after I left the company so I was sooo nervous. He said he asked around the office about me and everyone said good things about me, and he seems like a nice guy. He was impressed with my schooling even though I'm actually dumb as bricks lol.

My friend who recommended me for the position went to go talk to him today and she texted me "I believe it's all up to you now!" in terms of working out salary… so I guess… maybe I did get it?!?! He had a good impression of me and said I was energetic lol. I do have another interview tomorrow with a different place that I know has much higher salary, but I think I'm willing to forgo the better salary for a work environment that I know and am comfortable with. Maybe I sound like a pompous asshole for saying money isn't the biggest motivator for me, but it kind of isn't. I left a well paying, high stress job for low wage basic bitch office work and was so much happier with the chill environment.

But things aren't set in stone yet, so I'm still going to try my best on my interview tomorrow too so I'll have a backup at least!

A little light at the end of the tunnel - while the first place he was committed to was bad, people found out where he was sent and major figures like H. G. Wells and the prime minister actively pushed to have him moved to a better facility. The next hospital was pretty nice and had a garden with cats, so he was able to spend the last years of his life surrounded by the critters he loved and in relative peace.

I love my best friends from high school so much. We basically have nothing in common besides the fact that we went to same high school, but we are best friends and have been for a decade now. I kinda didn't care for them in high school because I would hang out with cosplay friends I made outside of school, but lo and behold I'm not hanging out with those weirdos anymore. Then in college I became friends with the cosplayers on my campus but, again, I'm not friends with them anymore. Maybe picking cosplayers/people consumed by the internet and internet culture for friends was my first problem, but through all the years my high school friends have stuck by me. Who knew that the normies would've made better friends?? I don't mean it in a bad way, but they're normal, well adjusted people who didn't spend a huge portion of their time consumed with tumblr and fandom culture (and by extension, the mental illness hype train). We only talk like once or twice a year in the group chat, but we pick up conversations like nothing and the time spent apart just means we get to talk and talk and talk about all the things that have happened since we last talked/hung out. We've seen each other glow up, and I feel like these people genuinely root for my success and happiness and I do the same for them. I think rather than being bonded together by similar interests, our friendship is so strong because our personalities just mesh so well.

My high school was extremely small, so everyone knew everyone. I feel like any time I get to talk to any one of my other high school friends that I talk to maybe once every few years, it's the same feeling of being happy for each other and rooting each other on. It's so great, and I feel so fortunate to know these people. It sucks that it's taken me so long and so many lost friends to realize what an absolute treasure these people are, but better late than never to realize it right? I hope everyone finds friends like these. I hope when I grow old, we will still be able to catch up every once in a while.

I posted in one of the vent threads a while back being nervous about adopting a cat and return with an update- while we’ve had our ups and major downs (first time pet parent, cats have been a learning curve) we’re coming up on week three and he’s truly already brought so much joy into my life. i love him to pieces even if he gets zoomies while i’m in meetings at work and can be a bit stubborn at times, but I’m learning that’s just how cats are despite my various worries. i’m so happy I took the leap.

I’m just so thankful he was friendly right out of the gates with me especially as a newbie, I know it’s inevitable that there’s gonna be some bumps ahead (mostly with myself rather than him, ironically) but hopefully things will keep going up from here- he’s definitely a cat thats always either 0 or 100 but he really does have the sweetest personality at the end of the day.

i was very closely bonded with my childhood cat who i had for many years when he passed of old age a few years ago. ive spent most of the time since then dealing with the loss and intense grief, but recently finally felt ready to adopt a new cat.

after lots of searching for the right fit at tons of shelters, a few months ago i adopted a senior cat with special needs. he has behavioral and physical health issues and in the beginning was very difficult and aggressive because he suffered a lot before he got to me, but the past few months of caring for him and bonding with him have brought me so much joy.

i struggle a lot with severe depression but spoiling him and giving him the best life i can brings me the most happiness i've felt in a long time. when he curls up next to me at night sometimes it makes me cry. i feed him the most high quality food, make sure he gets the best nutrition and hydration, i medicate him so he is comfortable, and he has so many toys i can barely walk around my house without tripping over them. within a few weeks his fur was filling out and he gained a nice amount of chubby housecat weight and he looks so healthy. i hope he knows how much i love him. it makes me so happy to watch him stare out the window and chirp at the birds. i dont mind when he's loud or difficult because it honestly reminds me of my childhood cat who was annoying and high maintenance. he has the cutest meows and he is so funny and unique and has so much personality. he makes me feel like i have a reason to stick around. im really thankful for that.

I'm back to confirm that YES!! I got the job!! I start on June 1st! Kind of sucks that my last day at my job is May 28th so I won't get that sweet holiday pay from memorial day but oh well lol.

I'm really excited to go back to my old company. They gave me the minimum pay rate I was looking for, which isn't a lot, but there's apparently bi-annual bonuses, and I know they have decent benefits. I'm excited to see my old coworkers again and just be chill all the time. I know this department has it's own little room off to the side in the main office, so I get to be secluded and not many people can just walk up behind me and see what I'm doing besides my supervisor hehe. I'll also have my own desk!! The room also has big windows that get a lot of sunlight, I'm excited to do my job while basking in the warmth of the sun. The company is on the top floor of the building, so the view is just some of the other high rise buildings in my city, but it feels a little like I'm living in a movie that takes place in my city hehe.

To all the job hunting anons, here's some of my luck!! Take it! Take it and get that job you want! I'm rooting for all of you, I hope everything works out for you!

My work friend and I, who have a sibling-esque relationship, bickered a bit at the start of my shift, and my day was already bad enough and that made it worse. He ended up coming back right before close to grab drinks, but he helped pull in furniture from outside first. We got to this horrible, severely damaged table that we all hate but still used for some reason, and we just decided to toss it out without checking in with our boss. We walked it to the dumpster together and both apologized—a lot of our (and others) anger is misdirected at each other when it’s meant for our retarded boss/shop owner lol.

I was pretty insecure about myself but once I met with him I socialized really well, had fun talking, joking and I being myself. That's such a big deal for me, I used to be really afraid and awkward socially. It's a big deal I didn't chicken out and cancel it. Even though I'm not really sure about the guy himself it was a great experience and well spent afternoon. Cider and cappuccino, watching sunset from a castle restaurant and a nice walk around the walls. I guess I was just bullshitting myself that I'll never find anyone else.

According to the scales I'm heavier than I've ever been (within a healthy range but on the high end) and frankly I think I look great. I've been doing some strength training + dance at home and just eating intuitively. It's been a relief not stressing over carb counting or whether I fit into all my old clothes. Even though I can grab fat on my gut I still look fit and have a decent level of muscle definition. Makes me happy that I'm strong enough for it to show even when I'm not at a low BMI. I've never been an anachan or wanted to be super tiny, but I guess I still subconsciously felt pressure to maintain a certain size and look. Letting that anxiety go and just feeling happy with where I've landed is nice.

My city went into lockdown two days before I was supposed to see an artist in my city. The concert was eventually cancelled and they just sent out emails with unique codes for a presale before the general presale. I was a little impatient and figured I had better chances of getting a floor seat for friday's show instead of saturday, and I got let into the room to buy tickets for friday sooner. Well, I ended up getting floor seats for friday and then was let into saturday's room to buy tickets and there were still floor seats available! But the code could only be used once so I couldn't get floor seats for saturday ugh…

But who am I kidding?!?! I got floor seats for a major artist at one of the largest venues in my city!!! I was like "oh this sucks, I'll have to bring my bag from work" but then I just remembered that I can just… request the entire day off lol.

Sometimes people want to know the genetic history of the dogs they are getting, which reputable breeders can provide. Sometimes shelters make the adopting process very difficult (yes, this is a thing that happens) and it’s easier to just get a dog from a breeder than being turned down constantly by a every shelter in a 100 mile radius because they didn’t like what was written in your lease agreement or whatever other reason. Puppies can also be difficult to get from shelters because they are very much in demand compared to senior dogs/dogs with health issues.

inb4 i adopted by dog from a shelter just fine!
My parents and I visited several shelters, including some we drove hours out for, only to be denied or skipped over. My friend had to submit a ridiculous amount of documentation, including his lease agreement and many other private documents, only to be turned down by multiple shelters for over a year.

Please realize there are many reasons to choose a breeder over a shelter, not just the two I listed. Even if someone wants to get a dog as an accessory, if the dog is well fed, loved, and taken care of properly, who cares? Anon is ready to open up her heart and home to a new pup, and I’m sure she will provide a good home for that dog.

The highlight of buying dogs: by doing that, you make sure that the puppy will not be mistreated and/or eventually dumped by people who only got it because their 5 year old saw 'a funny doggie just like that' in a cartoon, and ended up being shocked that the puppy doesn't stay young forever, requires training, can be annoying, has breed-related (or not) health issues etc. I realize that this is not as saintly and admirable as adopting a dog elder, but it still does some good.

After a dental examination the other day, I was recommended braces to help 'pull' out a partially erupted far back tooth on my bottom jaw. I'd had one my far back teeth removed as a child, so there is room for it to fully erupt, it just needs help to be anchored out. (The missing tooth is also why they didn't suggest removing the partially erupted one) I'm actually really happy about this, I'd wanted braces since I was a teen but my family was too poorfag to get me any. Never looked into them as an adult because I didn't want to pay thousands purely for vanity, my teeth only being mildly crooked. But after being told I should get them for my dental health, I keep looking in the mirror and thinking how much it'd improve my overall appearance to have straight teeth. I'm so excited! I won't have to be embarrassed to smile for photos anymore!!

I never looked at this problem like this… I mean, I never asked myself who is to blame for overcrowded shelters. What would you pinpoint as THE problem(s)? Personally I think of low education when it comes to pet ownership, low access to sterilization/castration (but also see previous point) and puppy mills.

No. 816751

>>816676
NTA but the idiotic 'save them all' mantra is largely responsible for overcrowded shelters. You also see certain breeds overrepresented in shelter populations because the people who favor those breeds are the most negligent when it comes to sterilizing their dogs. But this is a conversation for a different thread.

I'm going back to school to get a degree. After thinking about it for years, I finally made the decision and today my study materials for the first 3 months arrived.

My mom is so happy for me and hypes me up ever since I made the decision and my best friend supports me and even sent me a parcel full of snacks and cute stationary.

I was so happy and excited all day that I can't sleep now because my stomach hurts. I haven't been this happy in a long time and it motivates me even more!

Puppy anon here, I didn't realise my post would gain such a response but I do have answers for you all.

We wanted to adopt a rescue dog, there were a few factors that got in the way though. The shelter itself is nearly adopted out (which is amazing!) and the dogs that are still looking for homes sadly all don't get along with young children - I have a young daughter and I can't risk her safety.

The puppy is coming from a chap who has kept dogs out of love for many years, he has insisted that we call him for any help or advice once we get her home and to this day he keeps in contact with people who have had puppies from other dogs in his home. I detest puppy mills, they are abhorrent.

In the future when my daughter is older, I would love to home a rescue dog or several. I don't plan on having any more children and I have a lot of years left so plenty of time to welcome all sorts of pups into my life.

Thank you to everyone for the love! And honestly, I appreciate the concerns too.

There's a certain kind of warm vulnerability to unending friendships spanning across decades. Growing up and influencing each other, branching out in college yet never losing touch, then coming back together afterwards even stronger. Nothing needs to be affirmed or hidden anymore, it's just unconsciously understood nothing can tear you apart at this point. My life has been so interwoven with some of the most wonderful women on the planet for so long I cannot begin to think about where I'd be otherwise.

I can't imagine spending more than $100 on just 2 outfits, but you do you. You might be basking in the glory of having extra money right now, but remember that by making poor consumption choices you could quickly go back to having the same amount of money you did before. Spend the money wisely. For $800, you could probably get 5-6 whole outfits from a general clothing department store and 15 whole outfits from a thrift store or resale store.

Go for it; there's nothing wrong about spending more on clothes occasionally if you have the financial means. One purchase is not "poor consumption choices" that will drive you to poverty; and why have 15 whole outfits from a thrift store you will never wear as opposed to one you'll love?

>why have 15 whole outfits from a thrift store you will never wear as opposed to one you'll love?
What makes you think someone will like something they bought more just because it was more expensive? How big brands get away with charging customers more than necessary is specifically by convincing them that their items are somehow better, or that they'll like them more, just because they cost more. Obviously, that isn't how it really works, and items can be expensive while also being of low quality or of the same quality as inexpensive items. If someone chooses to buy 15 outfits at a thrift store, only to get home and decide they don't like what they bought, that's their personal issue. If they didn't like the clothing, surely they wouldn't have bought it? You can say that one purchase won't drive you into poverty, but the fact that it's one purchase doesn't change that you're spending nearly $800 on something that might not be worth that much.

No. 821428

>>821313
>why have 15 whole outfits from a thrift store you will never wear
So if someone doesn't spend 800 dollars on two outfits that must mean the only alternative is buying outfits they hate at the thriftstore? And that you can't get outfits you love at the thriftstore? I'm all for investing in high quality and sustainable clothes but this is such odd reasoning. I don't get how you jumped from expensive clothes to hating 15 outfits from the thriftstore lmao.

Hey don't be so upset by my response (and don't twist my words please), she said there's something she really wants to have from an expensive store and anon responds that she should rather go to thrift store and buy 15 outfits for the money she wants to spend on something she already likes a lot, just because that's cheaper; I think it's a ridiculous advice. I exaggerated saying "15 outfits she wont wear" but while I totally believe you can find great stuff at thrift stores it's pretty hard unless you're 1. lucky 2. crafty 3. willing to spend a loooot of time looking. So it's a choice between one outfit she's guaranteed to like vs hunting for perhaps more but no guarantee she'll find anything she likes half as much as what she's already picked.

I love summer. I feel like SAD is something of a meme and yet whenever I'm released from the cold grey misery of fall/winter I start to feel alive again, so who knows. I adore sunshine and hot weather, there's nothing more enlivening than feeling the deep, full-body warmth of sun soaking in your skin then getting brushed by a cool breeze or sprinkler water or brief summer shower. I love how everything is in full bloom and the air smells like five different types of flowers. I love how the light lasts late into the night and the air feels like a soft blanket and the purple-orange sunsets that paint everything in dreamy hues. I love going to the beach, coconut-scented sunscreen, the feel of my feet sinking into sand, fresh watermelon juice dripping down my chin, melty ice cream cones, and how my skin feels supremely soft after soaking in saltwater. I love watching fireworks and crackling campfires and smelling the black powder and wood smoke. I love seeing light glittering on the water, the little motes of pollen or tiny bugs drifting in the air that look like fairies, and the mysterious light of fireflies. I'm not in a location that has them right now, but I love listening to cicadas and dozing off like a lazy cat midday to the sound of their chittering drone. Everything is lush and sensual and otherworldly and I always feel nostalgic even as I'm living it. It's incredibly romantic, but like nature itself is loving you. I wish I could stop time and just exist in an eternal summer and do nothing but absorb the world. I really need to move to a tropical island. But then, something about how fleeting it is makes it all the more beautiful.

I think this has been a really good week compared to how awful I've been feeling. I stayed with my boyfriend in the mountains for the long weekend and it was so fucking beautiful to the point where he started tearing up lol. We went on trails and there were a shit ton of deer that were use to human contact so you could stand relatively close to them and they wouldn't mind. They were all female and some had sweet little babies. Since I'm staying there next semester we went to go see the school and they had ducks and pretty wildflowers anywhere. After our trip we thought it'd be really nice to consider moving somewhere in the mountains and having a little farm would be really nice. I finally got to see my doctor and restarted my antidepressants, and I decided to give therapy another shot. My menstrual cup came and I'm excited about that since I always forget to buy tampons and it wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be!

Watching women's sports (specifically softball this time) is helping me to (I hate this term) feel empowered, admire other women's achievements/skills, and feel inspired especially seeing them all play together as teammates. Also, I think it is helping with my body image issues because plenty of them forego makeup and all have varying body types but are still athletic and living their best life. I know college sports might not measure up to professional, but I enjoy them especially. They don't go hard in changing their bodies with steroids or that sort of thing, maybe the games are considered less high stakes but I seriously admire them all the same. I just feel so happy from watching and it makes me more excited for when I can make female friends. I kinda hope I can recreationally play softball someday as well.

But thank you for loving me, I am grateful. I feel so loved this week. In the hardest of spots you have noticed and loved me and taken care of me, and have loved me when I didn’t love myself. Thank you for your love.

I half-heartedly applied for financial aid at my uni not expecting much aside from shitty loans because I thought had to be well below the poverty line to be considered. I make enough money to live comfortably, but can't save much month to month even on a pretty strict budget. I just found out that I've been offered a very generous grant that will cover like 70% of my tuition. I am utterly shocked and this is seriously life changing for me. I was thinking I'd have to live hand to mouth for the next year but I'll actually be able to put some money away for when I plan to move later on. I'm so stunned, happy and relieved! The gov't has never really done shit for me but whatever initiative led to this is awesome!

i'm a blubbering mess right now, i've just been thinking about my boyfriend and how glad i am to have him. we've been together for two years and i'm so in love with him, and he loves me the same even though i have so many issues and i've been such a pain to deal with at times. he's so patient and he sees the best in me and i feel so lucky and i don't know what i did to be granted something like this. he's the kindest anyone has ever been to me. throughout my life until meeting him, nobody really accepted me for myself. he says it was the same for him, and that i'm the first person who really totally accepts and understands him. i never thought i would really find love and i wasn't even sure if it was real but i have him and i still can't believe it sometimes. it still makes me sob out of joy, i love him so much

i was looking at my body and i really do have a nice body its nice to realize that about yourself. Yes i could stand to gain a few pounds but im super lucky that i was born with a nice shape and a high metabolism. I look really nice in body con dresses. It just sucks that whenever i wear them people have to make weird comments on my body. I just want to be able to dress cute or even sexy without people reacting in weird ways.

I feel like after months of not really having friends due to the pandemic I'm having way more luck with friendships

>Friend who was ghosting me for a while started chatting with me again after being busy with school next semester

>Best friend (who I haven't seen in person for almost three years) says they are coming back to the country this fall
>Excited to see my friend after I go home in August
>Meeting up with a friend today and planning on hanging out with someone else on Thursday
>Had a really good time doing shrooms with a new friend on Saturday

It might not be a big deal to a lot of people but I feel like I've been friendless for a year

I recently did a bunch of basic, banal stuff to declutter around my apartment. Set up some extension cords and tied off wires, reorganized my bookcase and desk, put away some craft supplies and equipment I’d been ignoring. I really do enjoy organizing things like a complete nerd (wish I could get into stuff like washing dishes and vacuuming as much) and it’s nice having an extra tidy, pretty place now!

I don't really have groundbreaking tips, but here's my story: I got lucky with a decent paying job after uni, so that really helped. If I had a lower paying job, this wouldn't have been possible. I did put away 50 to 60% of my net salary into the loan. Additionally, I'm pretty thrifty and the lockdown/pandemic helped a LOT, since I wasn't going out or eating out or buying as much clothes (though I never did those two that much before the pandemic). Finally, it took me about 1.5 years to do it (Dec 2019 - yesterday)

he goes down on me as foreplay for at least 20 mins every time before sex and he is incredible at oral so i came twice during that, then because i'm super turned on the sex is amazing and his dick is curved so that it hits my g-spot perfectly during missionary so i came three more times from that… i swear when he's fucking me its like one long orgasm the entire time with "peaks" it's so amazing. i am such a lucky gal.

i think its seriously all about the combo of good, patient foreplay to get you in the mood and then finding the perfect angle once you start PIV… i'm lucky that his penis suits me enough that i don't have to work too hard for it to hit my g-spot but typically tilting your hips so that the dude's dick goes in deep and angles up is the best way to hit your g-spot! i have had the best luck when i'm on top riding and grinding back and forth or missionary and shifting my hips. and when all else fails a vibe is always fun to integrate to kick things off hehe. godspeed ladies!!! get that nut!

I've been practicing a strength and flexibility training routine since March and I'm really happy with the results. I was getting a bit skinny fat during the pandemic and feeling self conscious about my arms, but now I have nice lean muscle definition and better posture. My routine has even alleviated all of the muscle tension I carrying in my back. I think this is the best shape I've ever been in, I feel much more confident. My goal now is to maintain my results while also increasing my caloric intake to see if I can add a bit more volume in my butt and legs.

As much as I'm hating radiotherapy my fiancée is really blowing me away with her love. Everyday when she's at work and I'm going to the hospital she's texting me and calling me every minute she can, she sends me random thing to make me smile: cute pokemon fanart, silly memes, pictures of cats. When I'm feeling like I've had my brain put in a blender afterwards the mere sound of her voice on the phone calms me. And every day without fail, whether she's been busy with work or not, I come home to a hot bath and a home cooked meal. I vent and tell her my worries and she listens and listens and listens. And then she tells me what I need to hear, not what I want, what I need. She reminds me why we're fighting this as a team. I go to bed not fearing the next days radiotherapy. I fall asleep happy and hopeful for the future. And it's all because of her.

I've been texting this girl I met on Lex, which is an otherwise shitty app but she makes me glad I downloaded it. She's really funny and sweet, and she even listens to a lot of the same music as I do. Once she's a bit less busy with work, we're planning on hitting some local trails or maybe even playing music together (we're both guitarists too, apparently), and she seems just as excited as I am about it.

My fiancé and I got approved to be foster parents!!! I’m so blessed to have this opportunity. I didn’t even know I wanted to be a foster parent until my best friends little brother got taken into cps custody.

God placed him in our home for a reason, and I know we’re going to be the best place for him. It’s not going to be easy, but I know that this is what I need right now, too.

After struggling to find a very anti-social job and being afraid of customer service due to my social inabilities, I finally stepped out of my comfort zone and got hired as a cashier. So far I've just been in training and I'm still a little scared because I've never been good with my speech, I stutter a bit and sometimes words slip out wrong due to processing issues or I take a while to respond thanks to LPD, but I feel hopeful that this may help me and I'm trying to break out of my shell of being scared of people. I know that really nobody is going to mind it and I'll adapt. This is such a huge step for me towards obtaining happiness and independence, I was so anxious for years I never thought I could do this. I have a long way to go, but I'm proud of myself!

Sometimes they made hot dogs for us and they had this "hot dog house" that they'd steam the hot dogs in.

Hey anon! I'm so proud of you! One of my first real jobs was as a cashier, and let me tell you, it was nerve wracking as hell! I remember hearing the shakiness in my voice and seeing my my fingers shake as I tried to figure out what buttons to press. You'll get the hang of it anon, I believe in you! Most people are kind and understanding when you mess up, and learning to deal with the shitty ones is just an unfortunate part of life. I hated working retail but I think it's a very good place to start learning basic skills and learning how to interact with many different people. Eventually you'll build up a cache in your brain of phrases to use and it'll be second nature interacting with people! I think it'll also help you build up a thicker skin too. Best of luck anon, and congratulations on the job!

For my little piece of positivity today, I went into my parents room and saw that my dog was awake so I went to give her some pats. She was still so sleepy and could barely keep her eyes open as I held her head and rubbed her face and ears. She likes to rub her eye boogies on me which is kinda gross, but I like to think she's blessing me with her puppy goodness. I've had her for so long, some days I still can't believe what a cute old grandma she is. I feel so blessed to have her in my life.

I'm finally down to my high school healthy weight! After anorexia I fell for the binge recovery thing. I got better really quickly, but I also got really fat. I went from 88lbs to 245lbs in the space of three years. I didn't try to lose it for a few years, because I didn't want to get poorly again and end up in a cycle of starving and bingeing.
Anyway, once I got my head together and started loosely calorie counting and moving more, and I've lost ~100lbs since September. I'm 5'8" and 140lbs and though that's not skinny, it feels right for me because I'm at the weight I was before all of this happened. I'm proud of myself. I'm not in a disordered headspace. ​It feels so good to have a second chance.

I went out with my boss for something work related, and he suggested we get lunch afterwards. There was a big observatory tower nearby and he asked if there was a restaurant in there (because I googled and found another place just a few blocks away) and I said yes but it was very expensive (saw it on google and didn't suggest it because $$$). He said, "well, it's part of our job and we can go for research." We had to pay for observatory tickets to go up the tower to even reach the restaurant and he said "yeah this counts as work too" and charged it all to the corporate card kek. I already really like my job so these occasional great perks are just the cherry on top.

Today I got intimate with my current bf for the first time and I teared up mid way (but I don’t think he noticed because I buried my face into a pillow) because he was so gentle and attentive and covered me in kisses the entire time.

My previous relationships left me with terrible intimacy issues and low self esteem to the point where I slowly turned into a misandrist. I thought it was impossble for guys like my current bf to exist and I guess I just got overwhelmed by the feeling of being cared about and not just used as a means to get off. I've never felt like this before even during the honeymoon phase in previous relationships.

I’m putting together a care package for a friend. What specific items would people here be happy to receive. I don’t have a massive budget but I do want to treat her a bit. I already have a posh hot chocolate and some plant cuttings. Will probably grab her some items from lush too, and a nice rose bush as she’s just started gardening.

Wasn’t sure what thread to put this in but I suppose positivity works as good as anything

I realized last night that I actually really like how I look. I'm not attractive by any means, my nose is pretty wide and I feel like my features in general fit kind of weirdly on my face, but I think I'm endearing in a really unique way. I'm not ugly, just average-ish, and I think my personality makes up for it so it's all good in the end.

Yay, I’m happy for you anon! I think others will start to recognize your beauty too! I feel like holding yourself high and being confident really does make a difference. I think I’m pretty average too, but when I look in the mirror now, I don’t really know if I could change anything. All the features on my face are in perfect balance to each other, even if they aren’t what society considers the most beautiful, and I think changing one thing would throw everything off. Sometimes it feels a little weird to look in the mirror and think “wow, I look good!” but it’s a great feeling too.

Everyday I gush over my silly little dog and how much I love her. I laugh when she decides to sleep in the middle of the floor instead of off to the side somewhere in one of her usual sleeping spots. I love it when she comes to me for cuddles and tickles me when she licks me. I chide her for not wanting to eat dinner because it isn't a recipe she prefers. I will miss her dearly when our time together is over, because I see it in her slow, shaky walk. Her barking, however annoying it can be, is music to my ears now when I come home because it means she is still well enough to demand something from me. Our walks outside are far and few between, but I love the feel of the warm sun or the cool breeze as I stand there for 10 minutes as she takes her sweet time sniffing the same spot on this one bush. I am happiest when I am with her, and I'm happy that I have been afforded 17 years so far with her. I have learned to appreciate the small things in life most because of her- when I walk into the bedroom and happen to catch a glimpse of her readjusting her head, or when I see her little tongue poke out in the shape of a heart, those little things fill me with so much joy. She doesn't know any fancy tricks and some days I don't know if she's just really dumb or really stubborn, but I love her all the same. She is my one and only little potato. When she is gone, I will cry, but I know I will look back and laugh thinking about all the silly little things she did.

I fucking bagged me such a good one. It can happen girls, it can happen to you, if you even bother with men kek. He's so fucking handsome and sweet, he's thoughtful, he listens to the shit I say, he takes me seriously. I trust him and he trusts me. He's so fucking funny and we laugh so hard all the time. He's the only man who has ever turned me on. His music taste is excellent and he introduced me to who is now one of my favorite bands ever. When we get into arguments it's just so easy to settle it and talk to him and get to a point of understanding. The rare times we fight end in either tears and hugs or laughing fits and knowing each other even better. He literally saved my life. I met him the day before my 21st birthday and I seriously considering offing myself on my birthday. I was about to fucking end it. My parents are abusive alcoholic druggie fucks and I just hated myself so much. The day I met him I was SO excited because this was the first time I had felt anything for any guy in my life and it was instant attraction. He is just the best person I've ever met. I'm literally crying right now. It's been six years and it feels just as exciting and magical as the first month. I can't believe how fucking understanding and loving he is. He takes on chores as well as working full time and he doesn't even make complaints of any kind. He feels BAD if he hasn't done the dishes in more than a couple of days, he goes out of his way to do stuff I hate like laundry so I don't have to and he puts on his handsome smile and says he loves doing laundry. He's so intelligent and we have long conversation about such interesting shit and he loves physics and philosophy and shit but not in a pretentious braggy way. God he's so cute. His fucking golden copper hair, Jesus Christ. I love him so much.

Planning a short little family vacation for me and my parents at the end of the summer. Am I spending a little more than I should be? Sure. But I also save like I'm going to be homeless tomorrow (because it's a big fear of mine lol) so I can sacrifice not shuffling away 70% of one or two paychecks for once so my parents and I can enjoy a nice hotel and fun activities. I've rarely ever had vacations with them where we don't travel back to their home country (and have to deal with extended family shenanigans) so I'm excited to explore the US a little more with them!

What genres do you like? I personally like JRPGs a lot and there are some on Switch that are pretty good. Here are the games I've played and liked :
>Xenoblade 1 and 2, they play like offline MMOs
>Pokemon SwSh are good games, unless you're a hardcore Pokemon fan and have very specific expectations when it comes to specific mechanics related to battles and stats
>ACNH is pretty good, not as good as the previous entries in the series but that's not a huge problem especially if it's your first AC game
>Fire Emblem Three Houses is fun, especially on a first run. There are 4 routes but they're all extremely similar so playing them one after the other can feel very repetitive though, just a warning
>Bayonetta 1 and 2 are action games, they're difficult but really fun, the more you play the better it gets because you keep unlocking more weapons and techniques
>Catherine Fullbody is fun, I loved the story and the puzzles. If you have a PS3 maybe you already played the original, in that case the new character probably isn't a big argument to make you play Fullbody. There are more puzzles in that one though.
>Astral Chain is good, but I didn't like it as much as Bayonetta.

I'm also looking forward to DGS1&2, SMT5, and Dragon Quest 11 which I haven't ordered just yet. There are a bunch of indie games on the Switch.

I went bouldering for the first time in over a year, and with friends this time! I was afraid I had lost all the confidence I built up on the wall in regards to climbing up high, but it came back pretty naturally and it made me realize just how much I missed climbing. I was never a good climber to begin with (can only do V0/V1s), but the satisfaction of making it to the top and just the feeling of my body carrying me up the wall is a feeling I've really missed. I love watching experienced climbers climb too! The way they seamlessly move their body and make it look so effortless is amazing, it's like watching a ballerina.

I don't know if my friends would want to continue, because it's understandable a really scary thing to start and you can get hurt in so many different ways, but I hope they do. I've never gone with friends before, but it really makes it more fun. I took the fun out of climbing for myself because I became too focused on the exercise part of it and then ended up hurting my own body by pushing myself too much, but going with friends turned it back into just a regular fun activity to do.

I hope one day I can do picrel lol.

Got my first covid shot and it wasn't terrible! I fainted 3 times and vomited twice during the recovery period but I have a severe needle phobia so that's actually much better than I usually do kek. My area has a drive thru clinic where you can just park sit in your passenger seat and it was the best vaccine experience I've ever had. Brought my own vomit bucket from home and after I got the shot I just reclined my seat and comfortably lost consciousness without hitting my head on anything or feeling guilty about being a high maintenance patient. I'm really happy. This might actually help my phobia because it's the first time I've ever had a good experience with vaccines, any time I've gotten stuff done at the hospital the nurses have been cunts about it when I ask for a cot instead of chair.

Stuffed animals are a big deal to me. They make me mad happy, their construction is so interesting, they are a really special form a art, and they can each have their own unique personalities. I love watching them come to life, and making them clothes and accessories that define who they are. And people own my dolls, people have my art in their homes, how amazing is that??? Some people even collect my dolls. So cool. I'm so happy. I'm sooo happy.

I moved into my first home with my fiance!

There's been a few stressful hiccups, but I love coming home to a space that's mine with so much creative freedom to do whatever I want! I've already done a few home improvements, but I've got big plans to come. Particularly when it comes to gardening and landscaping.
I love that there's great food in my area. I just ordered authentic Sichuan for lunch, so I'm enjoying spicy jelly noodles, garlic pork, and veggies. The neighborhood is safe and our neighbors are very nice! One already wrote us a welcome card. A gay couple across the street said hello to me this morning before they went thrift shopping, and offered me their ladders or tools if I ever needed. Also some dude from the street over greeted me and he had the cutest and friendliest corgi which is my favorite. Another elderly neighbor walked up to our house to say hi but we weren't home, our doorbell captured her though.

I've never lived in a suburbia like this before and I'm really pleased to be around people for once, and they're actually nice! I'm so happy fam, I never have to rent a shitty apartment or live with my parents ever again!!

I don't really argue now, if someone misunderstands me then sure I'll explain my point but I've learnt to close the tab on people who seem hellbent on twisting my words and arguing for the sake of arguing. I'm getting better at stopping my psychosis before it happens. If I notice myself starting to tinfoil a little too much I go to YouTube and watch something totally unrelated. I've also started to write down my "to-do" list before I go online, trying to stop myself from falling down rabbit holes. I'm still working at bringing down my hours but I'm happy with my progress so far. I've also cut down on smoking lately! I wasn't smoking much, <30 a week (for me that wasn't much lol) but now I'm at <20 and working towards stopping completely before my fiancée and I start IVF treatment next year. Having that goal really helps me, after I failed a bunch of cold turkey attempts I thought I'd never cut down, let alone quit, so I'm actually quite proud of myself so far.

I overheard my fiancée hyping me up on the phone to her friend today and although I don't quite believe I'm the things she said I am it's so amazing to hear that.

I don’t smile in photos or just feel awkward/feel like I look ugly as sin with my laughlines and face in general, but recently I just started cheesily smiling in photos and I think I look cute as hell, even in photos that friends take of me.

I sifted through the catalog, I neeeeeded to post this somewhere and get it off my chest

I’ve been dating this guy and it’s been kind of meh. I always go really hard trying to impress people I meet and like and obviously deep disappointment comes with the territory. So I’ve been feeling kind of disappointed with dates where I don’t know if this guy has walls up or what, I’m just noticing he’s kind of boring and not my style. I have a date with him tomorrow and I’ve been feeling meh about it after chatting with him and stuff…

So on a whim I went back on a dating app and messaged a guy who matched with me - really handsome IMO but as always I get apprehensive because that doesn’t mean anything really…

And long story short he is so my type.. really funny, witty, comes from the same type of family I do, very complimentary but also polite and not weird.. just good banter! And I eventually told him I have to go to bed because I have work soon and we were chatting pretty late into the night but now I’m so fucking jazzed! I hadn’t met anyone that was “my speed” in a while and my heart is a flutter and I’m really excited…

Now to slog through this date!

I got a full-time job straight out of college I love, I advanced in said job quickly, I live in a rural area like I've wanted to but it's still an hour away from the desert and a huge city (which I grew up in), my bpd is better than ever, my boyfriend and I are happy together and have sex every night and he cooks amazing food for me and cleans while I'm at work, I'm sober, I eat healthy, I do some light exercise every day, I'm doing my skincare, I'm saving money, I look the most gorgeous I've ever looked, and I live with my cat (and boyfriend), too. I never thought life could be so good, anyone. I never did. I thought it'd be pain all the time, and it's not, and it's so precious, life, that now I actually care about not living in a way I used not to. It used to mean nothing to me I was alive but now I appreciate it. The only things I don't have are girl friends yet, but it's okay, the rest of my life is in place and I am at peace with it. The only downside is my obsessive compulsive disorder has gotten a little worse, like now I research carcinogenic household ingredients all the time and it's like I'm trying to find something wrong because I'm so used to things being shitty. But they're not. If anyone has any tips for that, I'd appreciate it. I don't go on here as much since my life is quite complete now, but I still hope on multiple times a week to have a laugh at my favorite cows for old times sake. I think teenage me would be happy to see how I've done. She'd be so happy I'm having sex with a cute boy all the time and that I turned out to be pretty. Also that I did well in college and studied what I was passionate about. In my case, it still worked out for me.

I think I'm finally at a point where I'm at no risk of being an ana-chan anymore. I recently went through some old journals from when I was young and it's heartbreaking that I used to do this to myself for more than a decade even though I had absolutely no reason to (I mean, nobody really does but I've always been slim) but I guess puberty and suddenly growing boobs and a butt messed with me back then.

I feel sad that I missed out on so many things just because I wanted to avoid eating whenever possible, but at least nowadays I enjoy food, going out to eat, exercising without being dead set on reaching a certain calorie limit and liking the way my body looks. It feels so freeing after such a long time of hating myself. I really thought my ED would stay with me forever.

I had a weird breakup. My relationship was on and off, we have reconnected after breaking up. I was so happy when we got together again after our initial breakup, but the same fallout happened and it is honestly not as bad as the first time. I realized she is bad for me, she ignites an ugly and bitter side of me. I was a bit upset at first but now I'm content that we parted ways. I wish her the best, I hope she ditches that bitter and betraying side of hers and has a good future after. She made me feel like a burden and a doormat, constantly told me no one else would tolerate me. But after she is gone I realized I have a lot of people in my life that disprove these sentiments. I'm grateful for my friends and my new love interest. Getting out of that kind of relationship has really healed me.
