Every night, my 17 year old kitty will come into bed and lay down on my chest and stretch his little paws out, one on each side of my head, and I pet his soft pretty fur and listen to his purr until we both fall asleep.

omg mine too, he will sit on the bed and wait for me to lie down then immediately lie on my chest so we're nose to nose. And then he'll rub his face against mine for a bit before sleeping. It's too cute, but usually he's not clingy with me so I assume he just sees me as a good electric blanket.

So cuuuute. I love having pets so much. It's so fucking special to have this heart to heart connection with a member of an entirely different species, it's also surreal. I feel like humans don't deserve it tbh. But I'm grateful as fuck.

So true, it's crazy that actual living creatures end up being so comfortable and affectionate with us. It's especially cool with cats because they retain so much of their instincts and seem so wild at times, they have similar body language to big cats so I always think of it like a tiny panther (my cat is black) choosing to cuddle with me kek.

Even at 17 my little guy will attack hair elastics and little fabric fish like he's going to murder them, rolling around on the floor biting and kicking them, it's hilarious and awesome to watch. I'm so glad he's so healthy, I'm going to go hold him and cry now.

I taught my dog tricks and obedience exercises and she's so good at them. She's very clever and she seems to have fun (I give her pets and treats afterwards!). The ones she likes the most seem to be fetching/hounding and jumps, but I love how elegant she looks while she heels. I'm only sad that her ear seems to have some problems.

I just took my first quiz of medical school (MD) and I'm feeling cautiously optimistic!

I actually started med school last year, but had to leave after a few weeks due to crippling depression from suddenly losing my stepmom. Also, my med school is on the opposite side of the country from my hometown, and we were obviously in a pandemic.

I really hope I can do well and become a doctor. It'd mean everything to me.

My stepfather recently finished The Last of Us and he and I were talking about it today on the phone and he was telling me about how he loved the writing of the characters and how he related to Joel because he was really broken by his daughter being stillborn but he found hope again when he started dating my mum and he met me. He said I'm his Ellie because we both helped each other out with our issues and I started bawling my eyes out immediately. I fucking love this man, I thought when my mother cheated on him and left he'd never want to see me again but he stayed in my life. When we immigrated he sent me letters and packages with little gifts like my favourite foods from back home and I visit him as much as I possibly can now. Even when I met my bio father it never got weird. He put aside his ego and gave him a chance and now things are genuinely stable. It's a weird family model I guess but fuck, I'm so thankful for this man. Without his guidance I wouldn't be where I am today. For my wedding day both he and my bio father are walking me down the aisle and I couldn't be prouder. I just gotta stop him playing the second game now so it doesn't destroy his view of Joel and Ellie's story lol.

My mom and I used to have a really rocky relationship. I was annoying as fuck as a teenager and my mom has anger issues and we ended up going very low contact as soon as I moved out. It was really hard to cope with being a young adult without a security net (My dad was barely ever in the picture and my extended family is insane) and for a while I was pretty resentful towards her.

Now, some years later, our relationship is better than ever. Her birthday is next week and I got her a big present that I know she will love.
I took time off work on her birthday and asked her if she wants to hang out and she was so happy I asked.
We settled on going to the zoo, which is something we could never afford when I was a child. I went with my grandparents and with school but we never went together.

I bought tickets and told her and she said spending time together is the greatest gift and I've been crying about it like a baby all night. I spent so much money on this dumb specific hobby thing of hers and all she wanted was spend time together.

Growing up maybe isn't so shit when it means you have adult money and aren't a retarded teenager anymore.

I'd been thinking lately that I have an ugly smile. I thought my eyes looked weird and small, my nostrils huge, and my smile lines just so deep and prominent. But it was recently my birthday and my sister took a picture of me with my cake, and when she sent it to me… I liked what I saw. Turns out what I hated was the smile I did in test selfies or while posing in the mirror, where I thought I was mimicking my genuinely happy smile but really it was too forced. My natural smile… looks damn good on me!

>>872369
I'm really happy for you anon, and I can somewhat relate. Growing up my siblings and I were awful to each other; sometimes we physically fought. Now that we're older, we all genuinely talk to and confide in one another, and feel like real friends. It's not necessarily "good" that our relationship was ugly once, but the "good" thing you get from that is that you're able to be honest and vulnerable with each other. I hope it's only uphill from here for you and your mom!

I posted it in the other positivity thread but I feel the same way anon!!!

This is so cute anon. I'm glad I grew up, because now I have the clarity to realize just how much my parents sacrificed for me and I'm so grateful to them. They're far from perfect, but they love me and I love them. I hope you'll have many more joyous birthdays and holidays with your mom anon!

I've been studying for a government position and even if I don't get in (it's a very competitive position), I'm learning a lot about economy and that's always good. I've been watching some online classes about it and the teacher is amazing, his method is great and I also admire some of his accomplishments that I went looking for.
Soon I can move on to financial math, I hope, cause I'm also very bad at math in general.

I'm finally starting to look and feel like myself. for pretty much all of my life I've felt very disconnected from my physical appearance and I developed a personality that didn't really feel like "me" in order to minimise the bullying I was experiencing when I was a child/in my teens (I was objectively very plain and weird). as I've gotten older I feel like my features have improved but I've struggled to find my own identity and a personal style, and have tied so much of my 'self' to the opinions of others. earlier this year I just had a "fuck it" moment, deleted my whiney, overshare-filled social media, cut my hair short, started dressing the way I've always wanted to, started therapy again so I could work through my shit in private, got my first tattoo. I got a cool part time job and I'm finishing up my masters degree and I've made new friends and picked up new hobbies. I have a boyfriend who ljves me and I have conviction in my own beliefs and opinions and I feel much more like a beautiful and worthwhile person.

I feel so blessed to still be friends with my close friends from highschool. I know lots of people just ditch each other after highschool like “good riddance!” but my best friends from highschool are so sweet and we are always rooting each other on. I don’t feel any competition or jealously towards them, just pure love and support. I don’t even have any common interests with them, we just hung out in highschool because we clicked and then stayed friends (out of survival in a way I guess) but our personalities click SO well that we are friends as we head towards our 30s, on very different life paths, with the only common denominator being that we went to highschool together. We rarely get to all see each other, and even our text chat only comes alive a few times a year, but I feel like there is such a deep bond between us and they are no lesser in my life than other friends and I am no lesser in their lives. It’s a special feeling to feel so secure in your place in the eyes of other people. I don’t think I can ever fully and properly articulate how much they mean to me, I just love them so much.

I went to go see my friends yesterday, and I'm so glad that I did. I almost didn't want to go because I've been spending almost every weekend out seeing friends and just wanted a weekend for myself to decompress and conk out, but I haven't seen this group of friends in almost two years, so I decided to go. I took a different train out there than usual, and even just on the platform I had a nice time waiting for my train. It was sunny, with wispy clouds, and a nice cool breeze. Just a few people on the platform, and I enjoyed walking up and down and taking photos for myself. On the actual train ride I almost started crying as I was looking out the window because I felt so grateful for my existence and the beauty of the world that was passing by in front of me. At my friends house, we caught up and had a relaxing time chatting and eating food and having drinks. Her mom gave some friends some vegetables from her garden and let me take some of her basil to propagate.

I am so happy to be alive nonnies. Life is can be so incredibly cruel, but also so incredibly wonderful. I cherish all the good moments that I'm allowed to have, and cherish these friends who still love and care for me as much as I love and care for them even though in the past I just completely fucked off when I went away for college. I hope nonnies have similar friendships, or will find similar friendships, in their lives. Yesterday was really one of those reminders where I thanked myself for not killing myself before, because even just simply connecting with friends after a long time is worth living for. I went through a lot, and sticking it out was worth it. I've exited the tunnel and now I'm basking in the light.

I met a snakey on a bike ride and I saved his life, he was right in the middle of the path and I did this sick break and slide shit like I was TJ Detweiler and scooped him up. He was super friendly, he was very curious about my phone and when I would move it to get a look at him, he was turn to face it. Very photogenic guy. I put him on the other side of the path, where he was headed, into some damp leaves. I miss him.

A bit of a brag - before COVID I attended a friend’s birthday party, drank and danced, met lots of new people, played beer pong, basically had a grand old time. We lost contact with each other when quarantine began and just recently caught up. He admitted to me that in the days after his birthday he got messages from several people asking who the fun girl was who “killed it at beer pong” because they wanted to get to know me better. One guy even said “she destroyed me and I kinda liked it.” He had to tell them all I was with someone at the time, so I recall some friend requests from some attendees but no one particularly flirty. But I have to admit I loved the ego boost I got from this news anyway! A little damper is that it made me sorely miss parties and meeting new people!

Someone posted a baby sinclair pic in another thread and fuck.. the fuzzy feeling of nostalgia it gave me. Not just the show itself but memories of all the things I watched with my mom at the time. I'd be laughing at the slapstick jokes, she'd be laughing at the jokes that went over my head.

It was an uptight house when my dad was home but those moments when he was at the pub we'd laugh til we teared up. We'd let loose. It's like I unlocked some lost memories. The good ones.

I love my cat so much it hurts, she cuddles with me every night and right now we’re spooning and she’s snoring and I’m on my phone posting on lc, she is so soft and pure and I would literally die for her. She woke up a little, but I kissed her forehead so she just stretched her paws a little and scooted closer to me. She’s 14 and I still can’t get over how god damn cute she is and how we have this beautiful relationship with her where we play hide and seek, nap when we feel like it, run around the house and spend every night huddled together in a soft ball of pure love. She’s always so proud of the toys she brings me and I love the way she says ”mama” when she’s excited to see me.

I reconnected with someone I went to college with because we now work in our field of study. We were never close, but I respect him because he’s clearly very passionate about the field and has honestly done SO many cool things in it (arranging talks, doing an internship at a major org, giving a speech at said org) but is still very sweet and supportive to me, a fool who has fumbled into my current job through sheer luck. I’m so grateful for being allowed to be here, and today we were catching up because I posted that I got press clearance at the org he interned at and while talking about work, he offered me the opportunity to cowrite an opinion article with him if I wanted to!! Which is such a cool opportunity!! It’s an opinion piece so it’ll be low stakes it I muck up, and he offered to split the pay for the piece, but it feels like another stroke of sheer dumb luck in my life. I can’t believe he’d be willing to extend the opportunity to me.

I’m just so, so grateful for the people in my life. It’s a “who knows who” game in my field (like every field I guess lol) but to just have the chance and possibility of freelance writing with my classmate solely because we happened to take a few classes together and crack some dumb jokes… it feels too dumb to be true. Maybe nothing will come of it! Maybe we will not cowrite a piece at all! But just the fact that someone who I really respect is willing to take the chance on me, means so much to me. It feels like the universe isn’t throwing me crumbs, it feels like it’s thrown me a fully stocked kitchen and is telling me to make something already! Also, I caught up with a friend I made while studying abroad but ended up ghosting in the throes of my depression. I apologized again, but I’m happy he’s still willing to reach out to me… he’s been so patient and was there for me when I was suffering alone in that foreign country.

I have so many good people in my life and I can’t thank the universe/god enough for it.

Yesterday I saw the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. It was like a movie.
We were driving home through the countryside at sunset, and in this field at the top of a hill was this gorgeous horse. She was beige, with a blonde mane and tail. She was up there on that hill looking so majestic, shaking her mane and making little steps with her hoof. The sunset hit her, and it was like her hair was gold and fire. God it was so beautiful I could cry.

I found this stuffed cat in the middle of the road (picrel is from ebay or something, but that's him), he was all covered in dirt and you could tell he had it rough. I took him home and unstuffed him and gave him a good wash, and gave him some new polyfill.
I'm thinking of making him into a badass villain. Like his whole back story is that he was abandoned and left for dead, and he was taken in by me and nursed back to health, but his heart still has so much anger. He wants revenge on people who abandon the companions they say they love so much when they stop being fun to them.
So I'm going to make him a sick cape, put some fancy wrist bands on his front paws, maybe a couple earrings and maybe even a crown. But he needs a cool name.
Any suggestions??

Didn't play a podcast last night as I went to bed so that I could fall asleep to the sound of the heavy rain. I woke up and did my morning workout with the bright sun coming into my apartment, then took a nice warm shower because it's a tiny bit chilly out. The trains got super fucked up because of the rain but I've been blessed to be allowed to work from home, so I'm working from home again today.

I’ve dealt with shitty joints way before my time due to old injuries and desk jobs, but I’ve really focused on stretching, strengthening and foam rolling myself back into some semblance of a functional human again.

I know this might not seem like a big deal, but my boyfriend is so thoughtful. Yesterday I didn't feel like going to the supermarket, so he offered to order me delivery from a nice restaurant. He got what I asked for, but he also added in a whole bunch of extra food so I have something to eat the next couple of days. I always feel a little guilty when someone spends money on me, so I didn't order as much food as I wanted to. Yet he knew this and ordered all the extra things I love anyway. Even though we are long distance for now, he always finds ways to make me feel loved and show that he cares.
It may seem like a small thing, but he is consistently generous despite me being bad at asking for what I want. I get the feeling most men will cheap out if their partners aren't demanding, but I never have to ask and he gets me anything I want, even if it's expensive. Even if he doesn't get any use out of what he gets me or doesn't get to see me use it, it just makes him happy knowing I'm happy.

I am so happy! I have been making a lot of female friends recently and have been arranging moments for us to meet and spend time together. I have not been rejected yet by the girls whom I am most compatible with. I have also let go of all insecurity in these interactions as I truly just want to connect with other women and build valuable relationships. I am so grateful this has been paying off and manifesting itself so wonderfully. I am also very excited for the activities we have planned. Building a strong network of various friendships with unique and talented women is so important to me, and I am so blessed to be able to pursue this. I hope I can help others build valuable connections as well. In addition, my confidence in general is much stronger now than before, primarily due to the conscious decisions I have been making to let go of insecurity, immaturity and past hurt. Men still act in their usual ways, but I am unbothered by them. Their energy and attitude has no place in my life. Whatever they choose to do and how they choose to treat me has lost its effect. I am very grateful to have this mindset and lifestyle… Finally, I recently ended things with a semi-boyfriend. Our relationship existed to teach me many lessons, including one that I have been struggling with for the majority of my life yet again. Although it required some time, I ultimately made the conscious decision to respect myself and my worth. I ended things respectfully and on a positive note. I hold no resentment towards him nor regret towards what we had, because I understand my value and how to live life right now. I am so grateful to now simply be left with warm memories and a stronger me, as well as no intense male influence in my life. I am truly just overjoyed to be surrounding myself more and more with fantastic women and far less with low value men. Life is very wonderful and I am proud of myself for putting in the effort to create a life like this. I still have a lot of goals to achieve but I am already so glad and thankful for my present situation. I am very proud of myself and confident in my abilities as well as the workings of the universe to bring me towards my dream life and highest self. <3 <3 thank you for reading : )

I feel like my teeth are looking amazing, sure, they’re not exactly perfectly aligned like those from toothpaste commercials, nor shiny white.
But they have a nice color and shape. And I feel like I feel like this because my new dentist is amazing, she explains everything that she does as she does her job and I don’t know, I felt great.
So now that I’m looking at them after brushing them properly, they really look nice.

I love my cat so much. He's so beautiful and adorable. He let's me touch his little feet, and rub his soft belly. He is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my liiife. He follows me everywhere and is very talkative. He has his own seat in every room so he can hang out while I work or while I play games or whatever. He doesn't like laying in the bed in case he gets bopped in the middle of the night, so he sleeps right next to the bed at night. Precious. His favorite thing to play with is paper bags, he tears them up and throws the pieces all over the floor and I think it's hilarious. He also knows how to play fetch! He can also walk on a leash. He knows lots of words too, and always comes when I call him or gets up to leave the room if I tell him to come with me. He has coffee bean toes, and his little nose is the color of rosewood. He has four white mittens, and spots all over his sandy colored tummy. His fur is full of beautiful swirls of black on his back and legs and intricate patterns on his little forehead. What a beauty. I love my cat.

I took a look at some recipes and it's also piss easy to make yourself, e.g. https://delightfuldeliciousdelovelyblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/10/vegan-char-siu-or-chinese-bbq-pork-ribs/ - just go easy on the sweeteners if you try one of these recipes out because the sugar content seems like it was meant for meat marinades (i.e. disgustingly high for more absorbent plant products) and don't use pre-minced garlic because that's repulsive. If you don't like seitan then I bet this would taste really good with some extra firm tofu you carefully pressed, or that five-spice tofu that comes pre-pressed.
Those veggies (bok choy and carrot) look steamed or (way too) lightly sauteed, which you can do yourself within a matter of minutes, even better if you saute them with some garlic and ginger in vegetable oil and a dash of soy sauce if you'd like. If you have trouble cooking rice then you can serve it over straight ramen or even soba noodles and it'd probably turn out pretty okay.

Today I engaged in one of my hobbies (fashion dolls) after a long period of not being able to (aside from some minor tweaks) and I'm almost finished with some customizing I wanted to do! It feels so fulfilling as well. I mean, I was studying and when I wanted to unwind I'd just play some vidyas, so it wasn't very satisfying, just relaxing.

No. 925645

Fuck yeah anon!! I'm very biased but short hair is far superior heh. Minimal upkeep but maximum cute (well, depending on your hair texture I guess). Also, I didn't know you could get spiderveins lasered off! I should get the ones on my face lasered off one day.

Finally set up a doctor's appointment! I recently got good health insurance through my job but I'm still opting to go to the health center I usually go to (for low income/no insurance people) just because they have my previous health records and if I lose this insurance I know I can still afford to go to this place kek. The receptionist I spoke to this time was very nice and clarified right off the bat if I wanted in person or telehealth (had a bad mixup last time), and I got scheduled in to see the specific doctor I want! It's over a month's wait but she has very good reviews so I hope it's worth it. If all else fails, this place has a fuck ton of doctors so I can keep switching around doctors til I find one I like heh. I'm also going to see the dentist next month, and I've got a lot of money I can freely spend on medical expenses (insurance/company is very generous) so I'm thinking of seeing a chiropractor too just for the hell of it for my persistent lower back pain.

My friends love hanging out, but we're all a bunch of people pleasers, so planning used to be a nightmare because no one wanted to be the one making a decision where to eat, where to meet up or what to bring and to whom. I have now started to plan the stuff ahead and just text everyone a group message asking if they want to tag along when I'm done. It feels so nice to be able to tell people I've booked a table for 4 at a local restaurant at a certain time and date, and right away have people reply that they want to come. No more "uh any day/place is fine really what about you guys" nonesense. I love my friends.

Ever since I met my best friend, I’ve really fallen in love with the holiday season and gift giving. My family doesn’t celebrate the holidays (or any holiday/birthday really), so it was a breath of fresh air to meet my best friend who is really gung ho about the holidays. She hates it when you ruin surprises, of your own gift or hers too, which really adds to the spirit of it hehe. I used to like the holiday, admittedly for selfish reasons for liking getting gifts. I didn’t like giving them, and honestly from the end of each holiday season til the next I am loathing buying gifts and have a backup list of safe gifts to buy, but every year the PERFECT item manifests itself in front of me and I am so, SO excited to give it to my friends and see their reaction. I truly, truly enjoy the act of finding the perfect gift for them, wrapping it, and giving it to them, very much more than I am to receive gifts. I would honestly be happy with just heartfelt and handwritten cards, oh those are 100% the way to my heart, I love them so much and I always try to write one for friends. I am broke for my friends but it’s okay because I get so excited seeing them wear or use something that I got them that so perfectly embodies their personality and spirit. Halloween hasn’t even happened yet but god fucking dammit I am READY for Christmas!!!

Anonitas, I’ve been seriously thinking about life lately. And I’ve came to the conclusion that… is okay being in your own bubble, is okay to not follow the herd and we should all embrace what we had been given. Bad and good stuff will happen but what only matters is you, not what’s on trend or what others think, only what you are and believe matters and it matters for you. Life is hard and is not fair but we should all give a shot at happiness as hard as we can, however we can, cause our time is short. I appreciate all of you nonnies very deeply, I’ve been listening to Minecraft Relaxing Music Box 10 Hours (Rain + Visuals) on youtube for days and I’m on my period so I’m very emotional rn.

I became a mom earlier this year and watching my baby grow every day is one of the greatest privileges I have ever known. It’s been more than half a year and I still tear up every morning when I first wake up and see her. I’m so happy that I didn’t go through with suicide in the depths of my depression years ago. Back then I never would have thought that my brain and body could recover this completely. I’m thankful that I was able to get help and wind up in the situation I’m in now. I’ve never been so happy to be this busy and tired every day.

This is so fucking sweet. I love reading about the adoration mamas have for their babies, it's so comforting to me. I'm very thankful for my parents (despite their shortcomings) and I often come across more parent appreciation posts, but I also really love reading more about parents just talk about their love for their child. Not just gushing about their accomplishments, but just pure, unconditional love. I love that shit so much and it makes me love the world and existing to know that it exists, and there are good, loving parents like yourself who look at your babies and see the whole world. I don't want children of my own, and at the same time I feel hopeless thinking about what kids will have to grow up with given where humanity and the earth is heading, but I remember seeing a post somewhere when someone was asked why they wanted to have a kid in this climate and they said "it's because of my kid that I strive to make the world a better place" or something like that.

I also made plans with said friend and some other friends for Halloween that I'm super excited about, and also today at work I had an almost fairytale-esque encounter with a (really cute) fellow lesbian who wanted to exchange numbers with me. There's even more I could say, but these are the big things that have happened to me lately. Like holy shit, I don't even know what I did to deserve these good things, and even typing it now, it feels so fake 'cause it's all perfectly aligned.

Had a really nice date night with my bf today!!! We visited the local market and made an delicious Fall dinner together, fish and ravioli with chestnut and kabocha, with a salad on the side. I also got him to watch Cowboy Bebop with me and he really liked it (he's not a weeb).

We've known each other for almost a year now and I can't believe that we are still having so much fun together. When we first met I was a hot mess trying to work things out. Now I'm just a regular mess!

After years of rotting away in NEETdom and crushing depression I'm finally starting to see that there's a way for me to get my life back.

I’m happy for you anon! Good luck at your new job! I do think retail is soul sucking to an extent and I would never go back, but I don’t regret working in retail for a few years. You build up thick skin, you learn transferable skills (working under pressure, how to interact with all sorts of people, maybe even management skills if they promote you), and it’s just a good place to begin a solid work foundation if you have none. Also, while I hated my last retail job, the people I met were fucking awesome. I don’t make friends like that in the office jobs I work now. I still talk to quite a few of the friends I made! I hope you’ll succeed in life and will be able to pursue your dream business one day soon!

I went to see Miyavi with friends tonight, my first concert since the pandemic started and boy have I missed them! I’ve never been the biggest fan of Miyavi, but I knew of him and listened to some songs when I was really into visual kei bands. My friends and I went since the tickets weren’t expensive and we saw him at a con a few years ago and enjoyed it. I only know a few of his songs and even then I’m not the biggest fan of his newer songs but I can and will have the time of my life at any concert I go to and let me tell you anons, I definitely had the time of my life tonight! Lots of jumping and dancing, and really enjoying that concert energy with the rest of the crowd. I couldn’t see him at times but even when I could see him it didn’t matter because I was jumping and swinging my head around so much that my vision was kinda blurry anyway. I am tired but I’ve really missed going to concerts and how fun they are. Also, I found out his older music is on Spotify now so I’m just going to listen to him on repeat for a few days now heh. I can’t believe he’s still this attractive at 40 with three kids.

Samefag I realize I didn't really answer the question lol. Working on your voice means practicing things like breathing, posture, enunciation, and pacing yourself. Like anything, you practice it until you just do the right things naturally without thinking in everyday conversation. Having a good program like Love's is nice because there are a lot of bad habits I didn't even know I had. I started it thinking I just want to sound louder and clearer. But after a few lessons I realized why my throat hurts after speaking for a while, I have vocal fry because I don't breathe enough when I talk. When I started breathing the right way, being clear and loud enough became a lot easier.

I had the day off today so I got some fresh fish from the market while I was there and then made my own kinda "gourmet" version of a McDonalds fish burger and dropped it off at work for her when I knew she'd be taking lunch. She looked so happy when I showed her what I had and she said it's the best she's ever tasted! I was actually worried she wouldn't like it so that was such a relief lol.

I had an amazing week-end, I went to a lovely city specially to finally see one of my favorite band twice, it was at an opera house so it was a beautiful place, the setlist was great and the musicians were amazing, I couldn't believe the drummer and one of the main singers were in their 70s, they were still so talented. At first I had planned to only go to the first show (it was postponed for a year because of corona) but I decided in the end to go to the two shows, and good thing I did, the very last song they played was one of my favorites, the very one which introduced me to the band, it was beautiful to finally see it live.

I know I've bonded over this with a nonny before, but ever since I've moved into my own place after living with an evil ex I love not only the freedom but the ability to be a disgusting goblin. My place is clean and organized (no scrote messes to deal with) but in terms of behavior, being able to walk around half naked with a food baby gut, belch/fart freely, go makeup-free when I have a zit forming, wet or unstyled hair, eat tons of snacks, not shaving very often, tossing period waste in my bathroom trash without worrying about covering it up.

I know I know, women in relationships technically can do all these things, but personally I really felt the pressure to be perfect all the time and come across flawlessly composed in my own home. (No doubt because said ex was especially controlling.) Shit's exhausting. I'm no enby but truly, fuck gender as a social construct. Men don't have to do or care about any of this garbage and still get lauded as heroes if they manage to clean their ass cheeks. I fucking love being able to exist without anyone's judgment and I will never give this up again.

This is why I can't imagine ever living with a guy. I want freedom to be mildly gross when I'm in private, and I don't think I could relax except around immediate family who love me unconditionally. A partner does not love me unconditionally, men can be super judgemental of women and how 'ladylike' we're supposed to be, I'd feel pressure to be attractive all the time.

I mean honestly, is a man even worth it if you have to hold in your farts in the comfort of your own home?

My favorite pho restaurant opened back up?! There was a huge fire like 5 years ago and I expected them to open up after a few months but 5 years had gone by with no news so my family and I gave up… but suddenly yesterday we saw that it was open again!! It's been so long I've stopped bothering to look at it and didn't even notice they had been working on it.

We have three pho restaurants in my neighborhood but they range from mediocre to shitty. I'm happy to see the true king come back to take its throne, and I'm excited and hopeful that it will still be as good, if not better. I used to go here all the time as a kid so it also has a special place in my heart.

I've posted about buying rollerblades before, but I finally put on my rollerblades and skated around my apartment yesterday. I bought them last month but due to back pain I couldn't skate. My back is much better (still doing exercises and stretches daily to make sure it stays that way!) but now my problem is my protective gear doesn't fit so I've avoided skating. I figured it wouldn't hurt to just skate in my small apartment and nonnies… it's everything I was hoping it would be and more!!

There's something so exhilarating about being on skates! I've been watching tons of tutorials and trying to be mindful about proper body positioning, and after a shaky and rough first few minutes, I was gliding up and down pretty easily! Maybe it was muscle memory from 15+ years ago kicking in?! I wanted to go out to the park but I was worried about not having protective gear and also being stared at for fumbling, but I guess I'll just have to suck it up with regards to the latter. I'm so excited to skate more, I don't care if it's getting colder out. It's Thanksgiving weekend here in the US so maybe I'll go out to my local park and skate in the morning despite no proper fitting gear yet. I'll have to install my heel brake too until I learn how to stop without it… aaaaaaaa nonnies I love skating!! Rollerblading is cool again I don't care what anyone says!!

>>975255
Yes! Go for it anon! I think that they can be quite expensive (~$100 for a decent softboot when I was looking), but is there a place around you where you can rent a pair to try out? It's really fun to zoom around and I can't wait to feel confident enough to skate around in a big park!

They sound so cute nonnie hehe. Mine are all black but I'm hoping to paint them one day! I'm sad that there seems to be a hole in the market for cute and high performance skates. Impala makes some really cute skates but I've read they're not the best performance-wise. I hope to skate for a long time so I invested in a pair of ugly but well regarded skates. I hope with the revival of rollerblading and the whole Y2K nostalgia thing that big companies will realize that they could open up their market to zoomers and women who like cute shit by just making cute shell colors kek. When I was researching skates I saw SO many posts on the subreddit by women asking specifically for cute skates!

I have BPD and my relationship with my boyfriend has become amazing. We've both matured and changed in so many ways and I haven't flipped out for a while. On his end, he's learned to listen. Like, he used to get annoyed at me when I'd vent or be emotional, but now he earnestly listens and tries to help me in a kind, gentle way. We are both sober (he is hard sober aka never drinks or smokes, I am soft aka I will have 1 drink maybe 2x a month but I never get drunk and I don't smoke weed; I still occasionally buy a pack of cigarettes but I want to quit for good next year) and I don't think I act in a way that would qualify me for a BPD diagnosis anymore.

I am feeling hopeful for my future and like I have an actual plan for the first time in a long, long time.
It's a bit frustrating that I am sorting this stuff right now, kinda "wasted my 20s" (but not really), but it's good to feel hopeful.
This 2022 I will try to go back to studying japanese hard, get my JLPT, try for a JET programme that consists of working for an international relations office. If that doesn't work, I'll try the MEXT research program. If that doesn't work, I'll be, meanwhile, enrolled on a webdesign course. If that doesn't work, I'll apply for for another degree in 2023, this time for japanese linguistics, and travel to Japan as my brother did.
If noone of the above works, at least I can get more work here in my country as a webdesigner and/or as a translator. I always see these positions available but my design and japanese levels are not there yet. But they'll be. I can do this!

Nonnies, life can be good if we just keep it simple. I while back a friend of mine called me after finding out I had a loss in my family, she told me she found a job at a coffee shop but sounded kind of embarrassed (she has a degree in engineering) I was so happy for her. I told her that it was fantastic news and she sounded almost relieved, so that got me thinking.
You shouldn't be embarrassed or feel bad for having a "small" job, all honest work is good work. If you make enough to have a roof over your head consider yourself a winner! Have a small job, go out to the park on weekends with friends, family or just by yourself and just hang out, find enjoyment in watching tv shows on illegal streaming websites.
I'm a poorfag so I don't have much money most of the time but that has never stopped me from enjoying life. Don't worry about what society wants from you, do what you want, do crimes, be gay.

I've absolutely embraced working mediocre jobs and tbh I'm at the point where I almost feel sorry for people with impressive high flying careers instead. I'm sure they don't feel sorry for themselves, but I'm never jealous of someone's money or status if they have minimal free time and a tonne of stress at work. Chances are they also have a lot more student debt than me too.

That said I'm fortunate enough to have a well off family and a lot of financial security as a result, so I consider my ability to live off lower wages a luxury.

You're correct, I had a shitty call center for a year before finally having a job in the field I studied for and while it was awful overall it helped me so much because I really needed the money and it was during covid. I'm also seriously considering moving abroad in a few years once everything calms down, I don't care what kind of job I could get as long as I have money and free time. For example I keep seeing American expats in Japan laughing at new expats moving to Japan or Korea to become English teachers because it's not as amazing as it seems but it seems like a pretty normal job to me. Now that I have a new job my clients are most engineers and high level managers and they won't stop trying to call me during weekends and sometimes until 9pm. I wish I could earn as much as them but without their shitty schedules.

I have an autistic obsession with model horses). His parents popped in to say hello and wish me happy birthday too, it was actually his mom's idea to get me the cake.

I love this nonnas. Grass is always greener on the other side. I used to feel embarassed when I had to tell people what I did for work, but now I don't really care. I'm not a "live to work" kind of person and I don't like this "you MUST succeed at the top of your field" type of mentality. I've never felt that sort of life calling to a specific job, career, or field. I just go wherever will pay me a semi-decent wage and will let me actually live my life. Am I expected to work until my 60s and then enjoy my life? No, I want to enjoy it now. I'm very fortunate that a lot of people at my company are very strict with their work-life balanace. There are those that will respond to an email off hours within a minute, but plenty of us that say "you need to wait until business hours because I don't get paid to care right now" lol. Some people really like the hustle of top tier well respected careers, but that sort of life isn't for me.

Time is more precious than money, and I know I'm in a very fortunate position to say that despite my shit salary. I like being able to see friends frequently, go out with family, and spend nights at home with my very old dog.

Good luck nonna!! I stopped studying Japanese after college and I feel a lot of guilty and anxiety when it comes to returning to my studies. I want to study it again but there's so much bad juju around it for me. I work for a Japanese company right now so it feels like it'd be the best place to practice (lots of coworkers are very friendly and try to encourage me to practice) but it's hard for me to overcome that intial anxiety. I hope you'll get N2 and get into JET! I used to want to do the CIR position but I don't really know if I want to work in Japan anymore haha.

this is a bit stupid but 3 years ago i wrote on the impossible dreams something like i wished i was able to scape from my household, but due how insane the schedule was i wasn't able to get a job. I wanted to give you guys a positive update i guess.

the following year i got a job at the uni that allowed me to work and study in the same place (25 hours a week salary amounted to almost nothing in my country), it wreked my health but i learned a lesson on putting boundaries and starting to be the one in charge of my life.

So far, things at my household have gotten better, I got diagnosed with adhd and thanks to the meds i've been able to manage much my studies and day to day life much better. I finally graduated (july) and got a full time job thanks to an intership i did. My mental health is the best its ever been. And thanks to the savings from that old job and the new full time job, i might be able to move out soon.

just wanted to say if anyone is struggling just keep pushing bit by bit, and always put your health first. At first i thought it didnt amount to much but looking back now i am proud to see the changes i've made in my life and how i've changed.

I got into my dream university! I applied for an extremely specific degree that suits my dreams and skills specifically. The university alongside its application process is tremendously rigorous, but my application was successful enough for me to be accepted. I was confident about being a strong contender throughout the process, yet it still brings true satisfaction and glee to conclude the process with a positive acceptance letter. I can't wait to enroll next autumn, it is going to be an absolutely amazing experience. I can already envision myself and the clothes I will wear whilst riding my bicycle to the relevant faculty and studying what fulfills me most in life. Whenever I read about the subjects, particularly in conjunction, I am overwhelmed with a unique sense of purpose. Studying these fields is uniquely invigorating. It is endlessly energising for me to occupy myself with these subjects, so I simply cannot wait until I can study them in an academic environment that suits my needs and abilities.

I love my best friend. I have a solid group of friends and I would consider a few handful of people to be my best friends, but I have one best friend were it feels like if this was another timeline, we'd probably be lovers. I never thought in my life I would have a friend so close, that would know me as well as I know her. Like if people ask me if she will like XYZ, I can really confidently answer them as if I was her. It's really like we share the same braincell sometimes. There have been moments where she has annoyed the absolute shit out of me and I didn't want to be her friend anymore, but at the end of the day I love having her in my life. We all have our shortcomings, and I'm not perfect either.

We have plans to move out together one day, and it's just a given at this point that we will live together some day. When we go into a Target or something, we'll look at appliances together and talk about which ones we want to get. Or we'll send each other other decorations or furniture we want to get. We met in college and used to be roommates and living with her was like a dream come true. I loved to come back to her. We've grown as people, but rather than grow apart, we push each other to become the best version of ourselves. I remember one time when I glanced over and she was at her desk on her laptop and she looked like she was concentrating hard on something so I thought "oh fuck I better work on my own assignments too", but in reality she was fucking off and looking at something completely unrelated, but when she looked over and saw me doing work she switched into doing work because she had the same thought I had earlier kek. I miss the days of tumblr, if only for those person specific tags people would have. Sometimes I go on her old blog and I browse through her tag for me and think "heh, she knows me so well." I love the holiday season because of her. I never thought that I'd actually enjoy giving gifts more than receiving them. Buying gifts can be difficult and troubling because it can be hard to find something the other person will like, but when it comes to her, it's difficult and troubling for the opposite reason! I'll find way too many things that I know she'll like!

Also, even though I'm quiet about my terf tendencies, we'll privately talk about how bullshit some of today's gender shit is. We'd never say it in front of our friends, but it feels like to quietly know that we both view things in a similar way (although I'm probably more critical about it than she is).

She is the sister I never had.

Had to disassemble it a bit because I messed up and didn’t even lose my shit, kept it cool and just fixed it. Kind of proud of myself for keeping the negative self talk down and just enjoying it.

He made me feel so comfortable and he listened to everything I said so intently and actually made me feel like we were taking steps to help me get better. It was so unexpected and refreshing. I'm going to put him in the "this scrote is okay" pile.

I had a close call with a male chiropractor who was literally a predator (turns out one of my current coworkers worked for him before and told me) and the next one I found close to me was unfortunately a moid too but I was in such crippling pain that I sucked it up and went. He was very nice and fun to talk to, and very conservative when it came time to having to touch my body. He was sympathetic to how much pain I was in, went over with me what might be causing my pain and really helped me through it, which was a lot better than my family doctor (who is female) who just prescribed me painkillers.

I'm glad your new family doctor doesn't suck!

Finding compassionate and non predatory male doctors is such a pain. I've only ever been to female doctors, except for dentists but sadly a lot of female ones (at least the one's I've been to) are so dismissive when it comes to my concerns and just give you some pills. Especially gynecologists.

Nonittas, I've been having a rough month, so I decided to throw a LC dinner party. All farmers are welcomed regardless of their post history, we'll have delicious food and mixed drinks or tea/coffee, whatever you want. If you want/need you can bring your meal/drink of choice, just don't leave your tupperware behind. No moids allowed, if you gotta bring your husbando he's gonna have to wait in the assigned "Husbando Room" until the party is over, waifus are permitted. I'll personally send an invitation to komaeda-anon so she can grace us with her presence (or make us ill, whichever happens).

Hope you can come and enjoy yourself!

Fell out of touch with my ex gf for years and finally found the courage to message her and tell her how much I've missed her. I didn't even think she'd respond but she did and it completely exceeded my expectations. Feels like I might get a second chance to build a friendship with her. I can barely imagine the possibility that she still has feelings for me since I'm still completely in love with her, if that was the case I think my heart would explode from pure joy. Just having the chance to talk to her again makes me feel like I'm on cloud 9. She's such an incredible woman I'm so grateful for this.

When I was a kid I thought I was ugly as fuck. I kept thinking "I can't wait until I'm an adult and I'm pretty" because my cousin who was 10 years older than me always seemed so pretty to me.

Now I'm an adult and I do think I'm pretty. Actually, I think I've always had good features, but I was trapped by bad young teen styling of the early 2000s and low self esteem kek. I just looked at myself in the mirror today and just kept thinking "wow I look good." There are things that I'm don't entirely like, but I don't hate them enough to consider plastic surgery.

I'm finally the pretty adult I've always wanted to be. I'm no head turner but I think I'm at the perfect balance of "very happy with my appearance" and "painfully average to everyone else so people (i.e. men) leave me alone when I'm out."

I've never had a desire for a romantic relationship. I deal with depression and I have never met someone who was understanding of it long term. I'm one of those odd personalities that only meshes with a specific kind of person romantically, otherwise there's no feelings at all. I have a pretty good idea of what I want. My experiences and views are near identical to Sekhmet She Owl. I resigned I'd be alone for the rest of my life, but I met a man who just left NEETdom, like myself, at our new job. He's very kind, soft-spoken, hard working, very patient with the physical things, and lets me go on radfem tirades and actually reads the literature. He browses 4chan and we have similar niche interests in aerospace and the occult. I can be myself, he has not negged me once in all the time I've known him or tried to change anything about me. He's encouraging me to finish my STEM degree and get back into sports & gym with him. I won the lotto. He's meeting the rest of my family tomorrow.

I bought a Pikachu passcase in Japan many years ago when I was a student. I used the hell out of that thing since it was a passcase, then it eventually just became a cute giant plush keychain on my bag when I came back to the states. The pulling thread got thinned down so much after so much usage that it snapped one day, but thankfully it was while I was leaving work and I forgot something in the office so I found it when on the floor when I turned back to get something I forgot. It sucks because I can’t even fix it, so it sits on my bookshelf. My best friend gave me a fluffy Pikachu head passcase for Christmas! She tried to find the exact one I had and found the specific series/line it’s from but she couldn’t find the passcase anywhere, but still! I’m so happy that she even got me another one.

Today immediately after waking up I called my boyfriend because I missed him. he was with his parents at the time and so they heard I was on the phone with him. my name is also a word that is featured in a few sweet songs, and his father started singing one of them for me. having lost my father when I was younger, it was especially meaningful to me. although my boyfriend and his mother teased and "scolded" his father for it, I genuinely appreciated it. it really made my morning and provided such a wonderful start to my day.

Botched nose jobs are usually because people want to have a completely new nose when that's not rhinoplasties are supposed to do. That's how you get hot messes like Ollie London whose nose is basically collapsing on itself They are supposed do some light smoothing in and little reductions, not give you a button nose when your original nose is nothing of the sort. That's why celebrity nose jobs tend to always look good because they keep a lot of original imperfections such as not completely nerfing humps, but rather making them smaller, hence why people tend to not notice. A lot of people also don't realise that noses that are worked on will shrink over the couple of years.

Two years ago my girlfriend gifted me a charm bracelet, and every birthday and christmas she gets me a charm for it. So far I have a ship that opens up to reveal a galley, a bird holding a letter, a kitten playing with a yarn ball, and a set of lucky symbols (a four leaf clover, a wishbone, and a die). I love it so much nonnies, it's such a thoughtful and cute gift and I love the charms she gets me.

Yay! I hope you'll enjoy it! I had been sitting on whether or not to buy it for a while now, and a nona in the mail thread posted about it and that's what prompted me to buy my copy! I might not get absolutely shredded with it, but it makes working out feel very approachable and takes my mind off of being so obsessed with working out with the ultimate goal of having a nice body (leading to burn out which has happened before) and shifts it towards "yeah I want to level up/get more coins/beat this boss." Not everyone likes the gamification, but I sure do.

I also can't believe in the cumulative ~14 days I've been playing that I've done like, what, 500 squats? It doesn't even feel like it! An hour passes by like nothing when I'm playing it too. Have lots of fun nona!!

I went out to the park this morning to rollerblade!! I haven’t been able to skate for over a month because of time/weather and just generally feeling down about it, but today I was finally able to go out in the morning (which I always want to do because I like mornings and they are generally quieter) and the park was soooo empty besides some old people!!! I finally got to skate on wide open, flat ground!! I didn’t focus on practicing anything in particular because I didn’t want to get into that mindset of feeling that I have to improve and I just let myself enjoy skating around in circles instead. Skating makes my heart feel so full, it brings me so much joy, I don’t even know how to explain it. I’m shit at it but I don’t care. It makes me so happy when I’m skating. It was only 20F but I didn’t care, I had so much fun and I like skating in the cold. I think I’m gonna pay for private lessons with a well known slalom skater who happens to offer them in my city so I can get some solid pointers and advice. Online tutorials are great but I’d like to spend in person time with someone to learn. One day I hope I’ll be confident enough to skate outside of parks and actually just cruise around my neighborhood.

It really doesn't matter if things are imperfect. If you have a very cluttered house you have to thoroughly clean due to depression, and piles of missing assignments, unanswered messages, unmet personal goals, jobs waiting to be applied to, a fridge waiting to be filled, etc etc… It still doesn't matter! You don't have to have everything together, you can still be a good and successful human. You can be everything at once! I don't know properly how to express myself, I just know what I mean and especially that it's right. I'm going to class tomorrow and I have a horrible week of depressive habits behind me. In those few days I've amassed an intimidating backlog of important responsibilities as well as self-neglect. And yet! It doesn't matter. I'm going to go to school tomorrow, and everything will be fine. No matter what happens, nothing can break my spirit. Life is not about those puny problems. They can be solved easily, unless you're so overwhelmed with worry over them that it paralyses you. But once you stop caring about them and instead care about what is true: that you're alive, that you only have the present, that it's only you who you have, that the sun shines, that you breathe air, and that you can do anything and it really doesn't matter– then you can really have a lovely fulfilling life! I'm proud of myself for managing to let go so much. To be grateful for what is certain and to see everything around me as something passing by, as an illusion, really. Knowing that I am the entire universe expressing itself through one of the many little human beings and other vessels on earth, is such a relief. It's okay that I was becoming overwhelmed or that traumatic events were triggered, and that I wasn't so good to myself. It's okay because it can only harm me as much as I fear it. And there's good around me as well as within me, so truly why do I even fear?? Just take it one step at a time, enjoy every part of it, and know that no matter what, things are good and fine. Unironically be like this little animal in the picture… chill!!! and allow yourself too. also I've written a letter to myself, a script if you will, to help me remember and stay on track. I wrote it from my perspective and in it I promise to accept that today is a wonderful day, and that I am fulfilled, and that I have what I need. And it helps me to push away the distractions that blind me from the perfect dream life I truly do lead. Even if you don't believe me, it really doesn't matter. just wanted to share

I have been reading in bed recently and it is my favorite thing to do. On the weekends, I spend as much time as I want reading in bed and enjoying the light coming in from my window. My room is small but I have a south facing window so weather it's cloudy or sunny, my whole room gets lit up and I love basking in natural light. On weekdays, I'll maybe only have like 15-30 min before my bedtime but I will still try to squeeze in a bit of reading.

I'll tuck myself in like picrel, with my favorite teddy bear resting on me while tucked into the covers. Whenever I'm reading in bed, I always think that I feel like one of those really well put together adults like "look at me, I come home from my comfy 9-5 job, made a delicious dinner, and now I'm reading before bed to relax" sort of things kek. I enjoy it though, and I've been enjoying the books I've been reading too! An anon posted in another thread about how if an adult read for just one hour everyday they could get through like 52 books a year and it made me think "wow I should finally get off my ass and start reading again" so here I am.

Recommend me books nonnies! Any kind is okay, preferably if I can get it on libgen since I read on my kindle.

Yuzuru Hanyu makes me so happy. I found him when he blew up on tumblr a long time ago and then I closely followed him between 2014 and 2018, between the olympics and other competitions. More than just thinking he's cute and enjoying watching his skating and learning about how figure skating works, I went to study abroad in Japan and my host mom found out that I was a big fan of him. On Christmas, about a week before my exchange program was over, she gave me a present. I opened up one end and saw that it was a book and I thought it was a bible because my host mom is a Christian and I thought "not my thing, but I love my host mom so I will still cherish this." It was Yuzuru's autobiography. I didn't mean to cry but I did. I was speaking to someone about how I was trying to find his book but couldn't, and she must've overheard and got it for me.

When I think of Yuzuru, I also think of that moment and my host mom. I can't think of him and not also think of my time with my host mom. I think his SP was beautiful last night, and it made me miss my host mom a lot.

But I do still think he's very cute and very handsome and I will not apologize for my fangirling!!! A little sad he most likely will not take home gold but I still love watching him skate

I really need some positivity rn and I don’t know what thread to put this in. I have always had really short hair and very low self esteem, I grew out my hair and bangs pretty long but not quite at the length I wanted them at, I felt very pretty and a lot more confident with this new hair. My boyfriend asked me to give him a haircut and I said “only if you cut my dead ends” and I let him cut some of my hair off. I’m a fucking dumbass because when I looked in the mirror he had given one side of my bangs a cut that went all the way up to my hairline, and he had fucked up so much of my hair I had to cut a lot of it off. I’ve seriously been crying since it happened. I know it’s just hair and it’s stupid but I was just started to feel better about my looks and now I’m back to feeling hideous.

Two years ago I got fired from my job after attempting to unionize. I got the department of labor involved and have been in a legal battle ever since. Finally got the verdict today and the judge decided in my favor so they owe me two years of back pay(I've been living off my savings) and they have to give me my job back and tell all the employees how they broke the law (they did more then just fire me illegally to prevent unionizing) I'm so happy that things actually worked out, and glad I didn't give up when everyone told me I was stupid for going against them and I was going to lose!

She ofc used my friends number to blew up my phone and tried to say that I was the shitty one all along (even though she treated me like garbage for YEARS), and I left her on read, just like she did to me whenever she was giving me the silent treatment.

A message like that would usually send me spiralling but this time I felt absolutely nothing. She was lashing out and trying her hardest to take back control of the situation and make it seem like SHE was the one who wanted to end it.

Wait, is hula hooping hard for some people? I didn't know that, I always thought it was super easy! How are you moving your body? Are you just moving your hips? I can hula hoop for a pretty long time by using my legs. I quickly alternate which leg I rest my weight on. My whole body will sort of rock back and forth slightly, and the momentum will keep the hoop going for a long time. I wish you nonnies the best in your hula hooping endeavors!

ayrt, yeah it's crazy hard for me! i started with one of those massage hoops that are like 1.5 kgs and it was wayyy too heavy for me, my hipbones weren't bruised but the fat? muscle? was super sore and it just kept getting worse. so i returned that one and bought the blue one in the pic i posted. i just made wicked progress though while watching some youtube videos! i ended up hooping for 30-40 minutes and of course i kept dropping the hoop but i managed to keep it going for almost 30 seconds and maybe more at a time! i feel so good about myself now, i never had that "practicing until you get good at it" learning curve because my parents never encouraged me to try anything, so this feels amazing.

>>1069603
i think for me the secret is putting the feet apart and bending the knees so your hips are more flexible and can move more freely? there are tons of beginner youtube videos though and maybe a different strategy works better for you. also you need to buy a proper hoop for adults since your hoop, when placed in front of you, should reach approximately up to your belly button. i'm 160 cm and mine is 95 cm in diameter.

for reference, i started practicing a week ago and have been using the lighter hoop for four days now.

Read up on Texas abortion law, they've been trying to get abortion criminalized for years, even in cases of abuse including incest.

basically what >>1069916 said any southern republican politician is likely to be regressive when it comes to abortion rights and healthcare for women, so if you're an amerifag they're not your friend. they also hate workers rights, livable wages, and environmental protections, so if you have any progressive worldviews at all outside of your views on trannies then you probably shouldn't be calling them based, they hoard millions of dollars for themselves every year from their shoddy practices and only care about themselves.

abbott in particular is also really repugnant for the reason that he limited how much people could sue if an accident disabled them. despite receiving a stipend every year for the accident that caused him to be paralyzed, he won't allow people the same provisions. him and ted cruz are sociopathic wastes of space

Right now he's making some soup for our dinner, it's a root veggie soup with sweet potato, parsnip, potato, and carrots. It smells awesome. He's been taking such good care of me and our home.

I started a diet and I am slowly losing weight without losing my sanity. I am happy to see the number on the scale dropping, but even happier knowing that I still feel like my good, happy self. I did not have to deprive myself of a yummy snack or pastry to achieve this. I did not have to force myself to eat pathetically small portions and leave myself hungry and obsessed with when my next meal was to achieve this. I am not the person I was years ago, and I hope to continue and do right by myself, both mentally and physically.

Maybe I should clarify that I've only been at it for 2 weeks before I get anyone's hopes up kek. But I do believe for sure that I've dropped weight (a little under 2lbs) because I have an unfortunate habit of weighing myself pretty frequently and the number on the scale as consistently been dropping.

It's nothing special besides being more conscious of what I eat, planning out what I eat ahead of time (including snacks!, usually a quick rundown in the morning in my head) and estimating the calories based on that. I'm probably doing it in a really janky way where I can easily screw up by not estimating correctly, but its been working so far! I try to overestimate if anything. I don't use an app to track calories because I quickly become very obsessive, especially if I can see the numbers. I've been pivoting towards much more healthy food choices where I can fit them in (I live with family and everyone eats terrible and does not want to change) and just being kinder with myself. Compromising with myself, holding myself responsible, and learning how to have self discipline with myself without letting myself fly off the rails as is what often happens. I'm still learning how to stay in this middle ground but things are going smoothly right now so I hope I'll be able to keep it up in the long term. I am also in a relatively good place in my life right now so that probably helps me mentally a lot too lol.

I've gone from obsessive calorie counting to giving up and doing whatever to intermittent fasting to where I am now. IF just isn't for me because it is really not that hard for me to eat all of my days calories in one sitting if I'm given free reign kek. Also I've found that hunger from fasting prompts me to carelessly overeat because I'm so hungry when I do get to eat.

>>1082665
Anon that's awesome!! I also recommend checking out Hybrid Calisthenics videos on progressively working your way up to an exercise! If you can do leg lifts, you're well on your way to sit ups! I want to be able to do them too. I have a terribly weak core that results in a lot of back pain. I was doing bodyweight workouts but now I use ring fit to make things more exciting for my pea brain lol. I love doing yoga on days I'm too tired to work out. Becoming more flexible is great!

In the future I'd love to start lifting. Great way to work out, building up muscle means a higher tdee, etc… but also it's just so fucking cool!

It's my dog's 18th birthday!! The big 1-8! She's slowed down considerably and is not much one for toys… or walks… and will maybe only accept cuddles under very certain conditions, but she still eagerly awaits her food everyday. Her favorite treat is only just coming into season but I haven't seen any good ones in the super market (alphonso mango), so instead I'm gonna be buying her some gouda cheese (her favorite of them all) for her to enjoy.

I feel so lucky and blessed to have had her for this long. Through the ups and downs, she is the light of my life. I have many regrets but it's useless to dwell on them. Every passing day is a blessing and I'm so happy to hear her little feet stomping around (even if I know it means she just peed somewhere she wasn't supposed to and now I have to go clean it up kek).

I had never picked one up before until then and their bellies are so fucking smooth and nice. I love their strong little arms and they made really cute croaks.

She won't bark if she's not interested though. I know dogs live beings with preferences but it's still so funny to think about!

I think It's wonderful younger generations are more encouraged to get into the arts and that there are so many easily accessible resources out there to learn now. When I was a child I loved art and wanted to learn, but felt like I had no natural talent or skill and face discouragement and ridicule for trying from others. So I quickly stopped drawing even for fun or trying to pursue any kinds of artistic endeavors.

I saved this post a long while ago, and I think about it often. I think I saw it around the time I broke up with my ex, and all I could think was “can this be me one day?” I’ve usually always been one always to have a crush or always yearning for a girlfriend, so it felt impossible to just be happy and content on working on myself… but right now, I’m happy! I’m happy being single! I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in life! I think I’ve grown a lot since my last relationship and I’m in no rush for another. There are times when I do wish I had a girlfriend, but I have plenty of friends to do go around town with. I hope I’ll find my lovely girlfriend one day, and that she will be as hopelessly in love with me as I will be with her. I hope that she will think I’m the sunshine, and know that I think she is the earth that I want to keep warm and loved. I hope I’ll find someone to share in my happiness.

I hope the OP of this post is doing well!

I’m so happy for you! I’ve never seen that post but I’ve saved it too because I want to manifest that kind of energy. Seems like you have your priorities straight and that your life is full and enjoyable and because of that, you sound like you’d be a wonderful girlfriend. I’m also happy to hear that you enjoy being single, because I wouldn’t want you to settle for just anyone out of loneliness. I hope you enjoy your single life to the fullest and when the time is right that you will meet someone you like who cares for you a lot and amplifies your existing happiness.

This makes me think… am I only worthy (or in the right place) to have a healthy relationship if I have (a lot of) friends? No matter how I try, I don't care about most of people. I wish I could find one close friend and one SO to love. It's so hard to find the kind of relationships im looking for.
I'm working on my life and self-esteem issues, but IDK if I will ever have many friends.

Thank you for the sweet reply nona ♥ Love you!

>>1099670
Absolutely not! You are worthy of having a healthy relationship with people regardless of how many friends you have or don't have. You don't need to have a lot of friends if it's not for you, I don't! I said "plenty" in my post, but that differs from person to person. My best friend has a crazy number of friends that she gets along with, but for me, I have her and two others lol (and that's enough for me to go around and do fun stuff with).

I get what you mean about the types of relationships you're looking for being hard to find. I met my current friends when I was much younger and outgoing. I'm much quieter and more reserved now, and struggle to make new friends on my own. It also makes me wonder if I'll ever find a girlfriend because I don't like to put myself out there, so I hope she'll somehow find me lol.

I don't think you'll need many friends to feel fulfilled. Even just one person who you click really well with is all that matters! I hope that you'll continue to work on yourself and become a person that you're happy to be, and that you'll find yourself with a small, intimate circle who loves you in the future.

No. 1099696

>>1099670
I don’t think it’s that you have to have many friends but I think it’s good to have a fulfilling life outside of your partner! Even having one or two other friends besides him/her could be helpful because your partner isn’t going to be available 24/7 for your needs. Also I think in general when we look for emotional support or advice that it helps to have different perspectives and people to rely on for different things! You also run the risk of falling into a codependent relationship if your partner is the only person in your life, which I think would make it harder to leave them if they turn out to not be a good match for you. That being said, you don’t necessarily have to have a lot of friends for that to happen. It’s just that it isn’t good to rely on your partner for all your needs if that makes sense, so you could just be a very self-sufficient person with a few friends and I think that’s be fine too. That’s kind of where I’m aiming at least.

I'm so excited for college next year! I'm so excited to learn again, I also feel like my classmates will be a little bit weird since it's quite a niche major but I love that! I really like hearing people's opinions, even if I don't agree with them, I hope they will be the same. Also I've been getting a bit more into religion again (nature and ancestor based religion) and it's making me so happy, I love honoring mother nature and my ancestors. I never got to meet my dad's side of the family but he's told me countless stories about them, I feel like I can connect with them and hope to send them good luck in their new lives this way! The forest is starting to bloom again too, the sun in shining and I love it! Happiness allround ♥

I went to an estate sale this morning and bought two high-quality rocky swively upholstered armchairs for my new apartment. They’re like new and a very good brand, similar ones by the same company online go for $3000/each and I got both for $300. Wasn’t initially planning to do two chairs rather than a sofa but this is cheaper than IKEA and will last me a lot longer I think. Happy about that!

I managed to get rid of my addiction to chips. Probably can't undo the damage eating a bag of chips almost every day for years and years have done to my body, but it's been 3 months and finally I've gone for a while without any cravings. I thought it would never go away. I thought I could never go through a grocery store without having a mental battle to not go near the chips isle, but now I don't even know why I enjoyed chips in the first place.

Today I got dried mango slices, some dark chocolate, rice cakes and some fresh spinach that I plan to make a delicious egg and spinach sandwich with later. I love wanting to eat other things than salt. I love enjoying simple tastes and spices. I'm still overdoing it on calories when it comes to snacking, but I'm just happy with where I am atm and as a bonus my arms are getting buff as fuck from the weightlifting I've been doing.

I've been really depressed lately, but I matched with this woman on a dating website who seems to be really interested in me. I'm a very quiet, reserved person typically, as I'm autistic. And I've never been very confident of my looks; I don't think that I'm terrible looking, but I'm tall, lanky, and really "androgynous" or "interesting" looking in the face. This woman and me chatted for 5 hours on the phone yesterday and we really "clicked". She is very smart and pretty. She also was confident enough to flirt with me. She referenced my height (I'm 9 inches taller than her), and the fact that I am boyish looking. These are things that I am often self-conscious of. We are supposed to hang out soon.

They are ten times better than the actual (after-lauren) show with a lot of deep and fun storylines, especially the reflection one which is _kind of_ canon, so to speak, which I cannot explain without spoiling it.

In the past weeks, I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries about Blobs because I find them fascinating, and I’ve finally decided to purchase one so I could cultivate and make experience. Yesterday I started the process and I was so afraid of messing it up but it went fine and look how beautiful and strong she looks now ! It’s been only a day and she is growing so fast it’s amazing to see, it’s so hard to imagine that it’s only one huge cell moving so fast! I could sperg about it for hours so I will stop and I’m sorry for the godawful pictures. Also, I’m looking for names for her, if anyone has funny ideas I will greatly appreciate it !

>>1121968
Thank you nonnie, Nonna is now her official name !

>>1121987
This is the best question nonnie, I will try my best to answer! The real name is Physarum polycephalum, it's a slime mold and they are only one huge cell containing several nuclei. They are supposedly a very simple organism but it is absolutely crazy the things that they can do! They can sometimes measure meters and if they are hungry they can move at 4cm per hours! They are known to be super efficient in finding the shortest path towards food and scientists made all sorts of experiments to make them solve labyrinths and combine different sources of food to create the perfect nutrition for them.

Audrey Dussutour who’s an expert on the subject proved that blobs were capable of habituation, which was a huge deal for biology. They can learn to accept something they disliked after enough exposure to it ; when they combine with another blob (yeah, they can do that) they will pass down this knowledge to the newly formed blob.

When they are somewhere without food they will dry out and just wait to be awaken by water ( like the gremlins kek). The crazy thing is that they totally regenerate during this dormance( they telomeres grow back to their initial size) and they can stay 2 years like that!

There is a funny story behind the nickname "blob", it’s because a woman in Texas found one in her garden and started freaking out when she couldn’t make it disappear with pesticide, the thing just kept on growing so she called the police and they started shooting the poor thing lol. It just kept on growing and disappeared one day. It was a rural place and nobody knew about it. A journalist ran with the story and started calling it an alien, so they gave him the surname based on the sci-fi movie “the blob” !


I bought mine on amazon (https://www.amazon.fr/Kit-culture-BLOBE-Physarum-polycephalum/dp/B09MDHC8FR/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B09MDHC8FR&psc=1) I hope it’s also available everywhere !

I hope you are already gone but your first post of "my bf is helping!!" was very unnecessary. Many anons here were reporting the posts and do not need to post that they were reporting them or having others report them too. Even if you had just posted "I told my friend to help report" it still would've sounded stupid and unnecessary. Your "not all dudes are the worst" line pushed it from "stupid and unnecessary" into pure retardation territory.

There are enough homeless and uncared for cats, why add more to it? Unless it's a controlled situation and you're a licensed breeder, whats the point of both bringing more kittens to this world and - maybe even more importantly - putting your cat through pregnancy which is always putting a strain on any living being's body, and comes with a risk of health issues and maybe even death; why do that gamble? Because kittens are cute to look at? Some may say it's too harsh but I agree with people who consider it animal cruelty.

He’s always been good and smart. When he was in high school he built a light-up, foldable disco dance floor and made bank with his friends contracting their mobile disco out to local high schools.

Nta, in the vast majority of countries there’s more cats needing homes than there are cats with homes. Every bred cat that goes into a home means there’s one less home for cats overall. So it might not be those cats specifically that suffer, but there will be cats that suffer because they could’ve been adopted and now they won’t be.

I've been a firm believer of "put good energy out into the universe and that's what you'll get back" shit for years now. Ever since I got my shit together after my post-breakup depression, that's just what I've been trying to do. I hold my head high and try to be positive, and I know sometimes I come off annoyingly optimistic, but I feel like I've been rewarded time and time again for it. Nothing big, nothing grand, but my life continues to be pushed uphill.

I want to be the type of person who just exudes so much happiness and optimism. I want to be someone who passes on positivity and good energy to the people around me, because I feel like I've been so blessed in life recently and I want to share it! I hope I get to the point where if someone encounters me for the first time, they think "oh my god she's so bright and cheery, it's fucking annoying." Like, yes! I am annoyingly happy about life, and I'm going to dump all this sunshine on your life too so you can experience the same joy for living that I do!

I really relate anon, or at least you have the energy I'm looking to channel. I went through a terrible relationship too and I don't know, something in me just flipped and I got so fed up with being depressed, anxious and upset all the time. I know a lot of people don't like to hear "your thoughts become your reality" because they think it minimizes mental illness and that sort of thing, and to an extent I get it, but there are also so many people out there who have been through INSANE scenarios and came out the other side happy and healthy because of their perspective. It's not that it's always an easy or natural thing to do, but it's still a decision you make. (Kind of like Stoicism teaches.) Understanding that feels so empowering, because I know even during difficult times I can pull through and choose to look forward to better things. I don't have time for people who are morbid and angry 24/7 anymore. No matter how much I tried to help them they'd already decided that was the mental space they wanted to exist in. I know how that becomes comfortable and normalized, but I'm choosing to get better now and I hope I can find other optimistic, happy people like you going forward. You're doing a great job.

I don't talk to many people outside of occasional work meetings, casual interactions at grocery stores and that sort of thing. Maybe it's silly but interacting with anons here (regarding neutral or healthy topics, not drama) has been nice in addition to a few online friends. Otherwise I'm happy on my own and am reserving my in-person time for people who really vibe with me. I think it's fine to be more of a loner as long as you're content that way and social interactions in general don't make you miserable.
>My body still remembers
Are you exercising regularly, going for walks, doing any sort of "fun" physical activity like yoga, dance, swimming, etc? Exercise protects against depression and gives you more energy. I know it's the old ouroboros in that you may feel too tired to exercise but lack of exercise makes you even more sluggish, but the difference between when I'm active and not is really day and night. If you're not doing it already treat it like taking medicine, not fun but necessary for your health. Start off easy if something more intensive sounds too intimidating/exhausting.

>it's still a decision you make
YES!!! This is absolutely it! I think that a huge unfortunate thing that is happening today is people's choice to refuse to get better, to change for the better. It is so much easier to stay in your comfort zone and to play victim and rely on other people. Of course you can't just will away a serious mental illness, but there are plenty of us who have chosen to get better and to take steps to managing ourselves and improving our lifes.

The beauty of our lives is that we have so much power in it! We have so much power in shaping our lives and futures. I know someone will jump in and say something like "well not everyone is in a good situation" but for every person who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, there are thousands born into terrible situations who have chosen to better themselves despite the cards they have dealt.

>I know how that becomes comfortable and normalized, but I'm choosing to get better now and I hope I can find other optimistic, happy people like you going forward.

Thank you nona ♥ I hope you'll find wonderful people in your life! Part of me started improving myself because I was being spiteful of the type of people who used to be in my life who always played victim and had people cater to them kek. I wince when I see people online, especially young people, who indulge in the same ideology- that they are helpless little beans, poor them! Nothing will ever turn out right for them! So they will just complain, complain, complain and stay like that. I'm happy that I'm no longer like that, and I'm happy that you're choosing to better yourself too! I'm wishing the best for you, for all of us ♥

>>1135099
I don't really know how to answer you nona, because I can't really remember when I started becoming the way that I am now. At the very least, you have stopped stewing in your own negativity, and that was how I started. Being happy and cheerful wasn't on my mind after I no longer existed in a state of feeling like I was at rock bottom shit. I went from rock bottom to "this place sucks but it isn't rock bottom and everything here I know I can tolerate and willingly tolerate and that is enough" and for a long time, that was enough for me. I didn't care if I was never happy, as long as things didn't have to go back to how they were.

But after you reach the bottom, the only way is up. I just wanted to make my life a little less shit than the day before. I got out of rock bottom, so I can make this place of "not total shit" at least marginally better.

If you don't want to exercise (but I highly suggest you do too), start with basic stretching. There's lots of follow along videos on youtube! At the very least, it's super easy and makes your body feel good. I did it because I felt that it was an easy way to make my body feel good. It feels good to start the day off with a good stretching routine. It feels even better to do it in the morning while the sun rises. It feels the best to know that this is time I set aside solely for myself to enjoy myself and make myself feel good, to have this moment to focus on just me. Rinse and repeat as you work your way up, to walking, to yoga, to other types of workouts that you want to do/will tolerate doing. I found that my body just started to crave it after doing it for a long time, we are creatures of habit after all.

After a long time where my main focus was just making things a little less shitty, it finally hit that, "oh. I'm happy, I'm content with where I am in life" stage that I'm still in. I've been building and building and building my life up, and now I'm at the point where I just feel content by default rather than just neutral about living. My life is still average and boring, but I'm very happy with it and happy to be living the life that I am. If I was my past self, I'd probably be fearful of it all slipping through my fingers, but I have made it here once before so I can make myself do it again. It's a long slow process, but I hope you'll get to the place you want to be one day.

As for talking to people, I think it's fine if you don't want to talk to people! I'm quite introverted (as much as I'd like to believe otherwise lol), but I think there's beauty in learning to enjoy your own company and solitude. I have a handful of longtime close friends that I speak with regularly and I know that I'm incredibly lucky to have had them stick by me and grow with me after all these years. I hope you'll be able to find similar people in your life.

I got a job working with a great group of people and I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the stark contrast these guys have with everyone else I’ve worked with before. They’re active, charitable, creative, and social, and I’m happy to be associated with them. I feel like my self-worth has increased just being in their proximity. I never realized the value of surrounding yourself with good people until now.
Also my reactive dog has been making wonderful improvements lately, so I’m hoping within the year I can get him to a point where he can come in to work with me for my shifts. I would die happy and I know he’d love all the attention he’d get from customers.

The first time I ever had hummus was years ago and I didn't really like it then, but recently I've just been craving it randomly. I want to be lazy and buy it but I think it's gonna be one of those foods where I have to make it myself and to my preferences otherwise I won't like it (i.e. adding an absurd amount of garlic in kek).

A good trick to make hummus better and creamier is to remove the skin off the chickpeas. It may take around 15min to do an entire can (I do it while watching TV) but it is totally worth it.

I finally got my period back after eating right and starting exercise this 2022. Last year and a bit of 2020 was hell for my period, despite experiencing other symptoms I wasn't bleeding the usual amount, at most it was merely a tiny splatter of blood I see on my pads.

I was worried for the possible worst outcomes. I guess I had a moment of depression with the pandemic in its peak and I rarely leave the house beyond certain important errands. I gain the weight I had lost in 2019, even weighing more than I originally did from that year but I still have yet to perceive myself as this bloated whale that I currently am. Because every time I imagine myself, it was with my body from before. and it hurts when my clothes don't fit me anymore.

I'll try my best to keep on track.

My family has farmland, and we are now growing veggie seedlings on our windowsills and I love passing by and watching them bathed in the sun and observing the growth. Every sunny window is full of little green leaves and I'm so happy. I started to really enjoy growing plants a while back so this is heaven. It's so satisfying to watch them develop and they're almost like pets to me. Looking at them makes me so giddy sometimes
I really appreciate this new interest, especially since I couldn't see the fun in farming and gardening for the longest time, and I only saw it as lame, embarrassing, tough chores, that's only good for getting fruit from
Now my gardening dream is to buy one of those big industrial shelves, and modify it into a small greenhouse. I also want to make a big version of those wooden fruit crates, paint it pretty, and make it an indoor forget-me-not flower bed. Tiny flower plants are the cutest things! We also got a wildflower mix to scatter in our backyard, and I really hope they grow! That was my third dream kek

NONNAS I PASSED MY ROAD TEST!!! ON THE FIRST TRY!!!!

My instructor had me drive on the highway to get to my road test site and honestly it was kind of terrifying but I'm living to tell the tale so… kek. I only got docked 5 points for my right turn being wide but I already know (and hope to improve) my turns! I thought I got a lot more docked off. When parallel parking I thought I was too far from the curb and said "oh I'll fix that real quick" but the proctor wouldn't let me? Then as I came out of my U turn he said "you need to pay attention to your surroundings." After I stopped at a stop sign I was about to go but then waited for another 2 minutes as people showed up, and the last car to pass was a lady with her turn signal on so I thought I might've been safe but I decided to play it safe and wait for her to turn but thank god I waited because she just kept going straight!!! My proctor scribbled something down afterwards so I thought maybe it wasn't okay that I sat at the stop sign for a long time? The speed limit is 25 here and I was just under 20 since it was super residential and I had to frequently slow down/stop because of stop signs so I thought I got points off for that too lol.

But I have my license now!!!!!! I know this is still just the beginning of me learning to drive, but I'm excited that this hurdle is over with. I'm looking forward to all the trips I'll be able to go on one day. My first goal this year is to become comfortable enough to be able to drive up to my favorite apple farm and take my friends with me! It's a looong 2 hour drive on a highway, but I think I can do it!

Can I get pats on the back? I'm proud of myself, I have successfully weened off of most social media! I was the type of person to always get triggered and would reply to posts and comments. I would get into e-fights regularly (surprisingly never here) and would actually be upset and angry irl for days at a time. I've let go of facebook, twitter, tiktok, reddit, and discord. I still have instagram but I use it to talk to long distance friends and only comment on friends posts. I was really bad at commenting on youtube videos, my notifications would get spammed with replies. I've gone to only commenting positive things when I really want to give kudos to the creator, and I've managed to stay consistent with it for about 4 months now. It feels like a huge weight off my shoulders because my mental health was getting dragged down by my obsession. I think my next step will be to private my instagram.

I feel like there's a push and pull on owning property. It feels like one of those "olden days" things and I do agree owning property is great and should be aimed for, especially in terms of the feeling of security it gives, but I feel like a lot of people meme on it now like "well why should I aspire to own property? that's such an old way of thinking!" sort of thing. I don't know how to describe it but I've seen people shit talk it, but it probably spawns out of jokes of despair about never being able to afford buying a place of their own.

I've been doing a love ritual the past few days and I think it actually might have worked. Today I made a new friend and caught up with an old friend, ate dinner with him, talked, listened to music and everything. He is a bit lonely (has no friends he told me) so he said 'I like being alone, but company can be nice too'. I said 'you talking about me?' and he said 'yeah', how sweet is that!

Walltext and possible autism incoming: Rituals do not work if you do them solely for yourself when you feel like it. You can not expect a higher being (whichever you believe in, I don't believe in specific gods. I do think there is a god and devil in the sense that they are not individuals, but they exist throughout all of us and all of the world. I mostly believe and worship the power of my ancestors, mother earth and father sky.) I light candles for them every night, a white one on the left side of my altar to represent the good, femininity, the sun, 'god'. At the right side of my altar I have either a red or black candle (I prefer red, but black is fine. I just use black usually to absorb negative energy too it so it can be a bit confusing lol). This one is used to represent masculinity, evil (fitting), the night and the 'devil'. For my ancestors I have a candle holder with an ankh on it (I believe in reincarnation, and want to send my ancestors as much luck as possible. I usually use green candles for financial success or yellow for increased creativity, cheeriness ect. You can use these for yourself too, but it is a must to get a different candle holder. You need one specifically for yourself, if you want to work with ancestors (it makes the ritual more effective in my experience, generates more energy and that's always good with rituals! Plus, when you give some thing you get something (there is a saying where I'm from, wish I could say it and you could all understand it lol.) It is important to worship them not just once for show, but every single night (this is very necessary!). Karma is very real, and if you do not worship at least the universe the ritual itself will be useless. Entities are petty and if you don't give them anything and just ask ask ask you get nothing in return.
Now onto the ritual! The ritual itself is best done with the new moon, but full moon works well too. On other days I have noticed it now being quite as effective. You take any type of candles, so long as they're pink (for love, not just romantic but for friendship and self love too), light blue (for stability, this is something I personally find very important in a relationship but you can do some research on candle magick and switch it out for something you desire) and a black one (to absorb negative energy! First, light your white and red/black candles, ancestor candle if you work with those and some incense (I usually use palo santo as it has a bit of connection to my ancestors, but you can use the infamous sage too), wait a bit before you start the ritual and feel the energy, be present. A candleholder with a pentagram to make your wishes comes to earth is best for this but if you do not have one, make sure you have some kind of pentagram somewhere. You can carve them into the candles too, if they're wide enough. Cleanse your other candles with sage first obviously, then light the black one. Then use it to light the pink one, and then the black one. This will absorb negative energy from your pink and blue/whatever other color. Wait until the candles are burnt up and you're pretty much done! I usually get quite long dinner candles and do this over multiple days (from when the new/full moon starts to when they are burnt up). You can light rose incense while burning your candles too if you want to, i rarely do because I don't notice the effect very well but you can if you have it! and umm, for you lonely nona's, if we were't nona's I'd be your friend ♥ Do not rely on magic fully, go out there, meet up with old friends whatever the case may be!

Also the candleholder can be found at the thrift store and sage (incense) and candles at any old store, so it is quite cost effective (unless candles are expensive when you're from, I don't know). And my alter is straight up a piece of wood I got out of the trash container at my old work stacked onto a bunch of old magazines duct taped together lol. You don't need 5 billion fancy things, your intentions is all that counts! Good luck to you nonna's, I'll light up a candle for you two too haha! sorry for the redditspacing btw, I've never written such a walltext and thought it would be hard to follow

to my girls on cytube yesterday, if you see this when you all wake up or are around: sorry i left early and out of nowhere, i got busy but i had more fun than i've had in years with you all today and YOU GUYS HELPED ME SO MUCH. i couldn't be more grateful for your support!!! i got the refund from that asshole guy and he gave me no lip! i was shitting and pissing my pants simultangeously in fear of him bitching me out or giving me a negative reading and being $75 poorer for no reason, but it was easy! i can't express to you guys how grateful i am for your support. i wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys backing me up and giving me validation. i love you guys already sm! we had so much fun!

i'm actually legitimately tearing up (lame, i know) while typing because the level of genuine sweetness and support, was incredible. for me, i felt an actual feeling of legitimate sisterhood amongst a whole group of girls who were all literal strangers to me. it's a feeling i've never felt in my life in a group of strangers, and certainly something most people wouldn't think was even possible on an imageboard. it was so fun, and just so special to me. you guys have no idea how much it means to me. you all were so wonderful and so witty. i'm so grateful to have spent the day (and night) with so many supportive, sweet, and clever women. i have my friends irl, but who would think it's possible for us to have all gotten along so well and for all of us to have had such wholesome fun? i wouldn't in my life have EVER expected it.

The other nonna's asked me for the ritual I did so I told them. I did not mean to say anything about individual entities, with that I meant moreso is worshipping nature comes before doing rituals for youself, and your ritual will likely not work out if (ime) you don't make an effort to honor the earth. It was a bit confusing I admit, I'm not that good at English so I might have used some words wrongly. Spirituality is obviously very personal and there are no 'rules', I just tried to explain what ritual I did and that for me personally I find it much more effective when you do make worshipping the earth a daily thing. To the nonna's who asked for the ritualL You can omit the white, red/black and ancestor candles but I can not say how effective it will be. The way I explained in >>1155954 works best in my experience but if you don't have the money/time/patience and just want to do it as a one time thing you can go straight to the pink/light blue/black candles (sage can't be omitted though)!

I love the current baggy clothes trend so much. Everywhere I'm seeing super pretty fit girls with no reason to cover up wear clothes like pic related. Also it makes me happy seeing young teens wear baggy jeans and cargo pants because it's appropriate. As a teen in the early 10s I remember feeling uncomfortable because the only acceptable pants were skinny jeans and I'd always keep pulling my shirt down over my butt because I felt exposed. I really hope this keeps going for a good while.

I’ve been trying for over a year to use this (basically an equivalent to) HSA account my work gives me while meanwhile work has been getting more and more oppressive and demeaning to me and starting to look like a dead end. Last time I called the company in charge of the HSA account they told me I missed the deadline to use the money in the account because I was trying to pay off a 2021 bill and it was now a new year. I cried most of the day because I owe my DBT therapists $7,700 and while they have me on a payment plan I really wanted to use the $3,250 in my HSA to pay down a chunk of the bill. The therapy clinic also had to end my therapy temporarily until I could get the bill lower, and my bpd ass struggles without it. I attempted to submit a payment to the clinic through the HSA despite being told it wouldn’t work, and meanwhile the HSA company then has its website go down for two weeks. I am fuming because this isn’t the first time the company has had website problems and our HR woman takes weeks to reply to emails so I can’t even figure out how to check my HSA account. FINALLY got logged back into the account yesterday and Nonas, I want to cry. The full $3,200 went through to the clinic and I am finally free to quit this fucking job. Also I’m really glad to pay it out to therapists who have helped my bpd more than almost any other treatment in the past. A huge weight is off of me. Feels good.

After breaking up a few months ago with a man I realised I didn’t want to fuck at all I’ve been trying dating again with a focus on chemistry and attraction and experiences and it has been so fun!!!

The guy I’m seeing right now has a smoky ruggedness to him coupled with fantastic taste in art and music. He belongs anywhere with good whiskey and jazz, walking with a swagger and confidence that effortlessly pulls you along. He’s worldly - full of street and book smarts, carrying such wit and sarcasm that every conversation between us feels like a dance.

We spent so much time together the last week either taking refuge in his tastefully decorated loft apartment or going out in our big city, mingling at bars, taking in endless stories and people and music. Sometimes I’ll be the one leading the charge, sometimes it’s his broad back and warm hands that I’ll cling onto so as we swim through the crowd of trendy affluent city folk…

And for how suave and hedonistic of a man he is, he manages to be quite a gentleman - regularly gifting me small things, always buying me drinks, protecting me when we’re out, making sure all my needs are met when I’m with him. His light caresses and touches throughout the day and as we fall asleep are so warm and reassuring.

Oh and can the man fuck! It’s night and day from my last sexless relationship. He’s so passionate and almost animalistic without me feeling degraded at all. I like feeling like he genuinely can’t seem to get enough of me. I used to say I hated sex that lasted for longer than 30 minutes to an hour, but now I realise I was just having bad / mid sex… With him we can fuck for hours and I’ll be so entertained and satisfied.

Anyway I have no idea if this is going to last, but frankly I am having so much fun just being myself with someone I think is hot and unique, and getting treated to the trendy city lifestyle I was too shy or unable to explore previously! It’s so cheesy but I keep thinking “my life feels like a movie” and I fucking love itttt

today was so nice and I am so happy. I recently bought a bra that actually fits for the first time since I was a teenager. and I wore it today and im not trying to over-exaggerate but it genuinely makes me feel so much better about myself and my body. I can’t express how good it feels to not constantly be adjusting my bra, feeling so self conscious and humiliated because my boobs were constantly popping out of place.

Nta but I'm straight and you're absolutely right, for some reason I am not that way and it's always made me uncomfortable to
be honest, with VS I did the same thing.

I’m back and sober and this is still funny as shit. I get where you’re coming from, the phrasing was just so hilariously succinct and on point, like it needs to be on one of those home decor box signs with the quote in a cursive font or a famous meme. Sorry for calling you multiple pet names, the weed brought it out of me but I promise it was only with kind intentions.

I'm so grateful for the people who still reach out to me even though I'm an anxious idiot. Especially this one girl I've made friends with at uni, who I've flaked on twice in a row because my dumb brain keeps pushing people away due to past experiences even though I want friedship so badly. She invited me to get drinks after uni with some of her close friends next week and it makes me feel all fuzzy and nice that she likes me so much (platonically) that she wants to introduce me to her closest friends. I'm just glad she didn't take me being flaky as not wanting to be friends.

No. 1181667

>>1181313
People like her are really the best, and I hope you two will get to be good friends for a long time!

When I was studying abroad, I made friends with similar people. I was very mentally ill and self destructive during that time and the years after, but these two friends kept reaching out to me time and time again. I kept flaking, apologizing, flaking, and apologizing, but each time they've always said "it's okay, we understand!" and I'm so, so grateful to them. People like them are the best. I hope you'll have a fun time with them nona!

Try to be grateful for this, nona, and try your best to take her up on offers. None of my friends have done this and I do not blame them, but I am sad about it.

I loved watching Eurovision and chatting with fellow nonnies, the chat was fun and kind!! As sometimes I do find some anons quite hostile and rude but I had such a cute time and it was my first time watching Eurovision and I did and stuck around because of nonnies! There was even fellow britbongs!! Speaking of, even though I didn’t care much for the song, I am proud we came second after we have done badly for so long kek

I'm so glad I found a gym with good people. I look forward to going, even though I'm not a morning person. Everyone is sweet and encourages each other. The experienced "intimidating" ones are actually the biggest cheerleaders. I look forward to every session, and I feel like a functional human for the first time in a long time.

Yes yes yes! Glad you found a good place! It's true, the experienced intimidating people are always the nicest and want to hype you up, it are the dyel scrotes who haven't improved in years who are assholes and teenagers who only come to take pictures for Instagram are shitty. The serious lifters are generally great!

I am proud of myself for still exercising today despite being super cold and I was really not in mood for it. It was just a small walk, but I still exercise for more than 40+ min and that is worth something at my weight. Hopefully I can do the same tomorrow
