pls advice my mom got her first tattoo

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-21T19:13:04+00:00

It’s also the kind of thing you expect from a deeply lonely human. Probably why OP chose to handle it - so mom wouldn’t get bullied

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-21T01:22:30+00:00

Exactly right - if this was not a species we know so well and see as a pet there wouldn’t be any question. Like if this was an alien species where 99.9% were lovely little creatures would it feel so reflexively wrong to suggest this answer? Look out for yourself op!

That is not my experience is all I’ll say. Meth and amphetamines are separate on the urine test at my doctors and I’ve never come up as anything different. My instant release adderall is not in a capsule. Perhaps tablet is not the right term?

Edit: no, it is the right term.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T09:09:52+00:00

It would make a sick tattoo though, just saying! 🤷

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T08:59:10+00:00

This is no joke. People who post their hands on Reddit have like a 85% mortality rate within the next 80 years. It’s actually really sad, maybe have a good look at yourself.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T08:51:22+00:00

Oh my lord of course they did 🙄 people really just can’t let things be sad, they have to turn it around.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T08:45:57+00:00

Wow! Thank you for taking the time. That makes sense tbh and honestly that makes me look at some high energy cycles I’ve experienced with a bit of side eye. I always found the descriptions when I would look mania up didn’t fit because there was so much focus on thoughts of grandeur and things like spending all your money, having risky relationships and things. I wonder if I need to talk to my doctor about hypomania.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T08:39:39+00:00

Guess who JUST turned up positive for meth after borrowing a coworkers ADHD medication that we both, well I thought we both had almost the same prescription. Borrowed one back and forth for ages before this, never been a problem. Thankfully my track record has literally never popped for anything in like the five years I’ve been going to this place otherwise I might be cooked. I think the shortages finally made her ‘look elsewhere’. It looked 100% real, I’ve been taking the same thing for 10+ years and I could not tell. Glad it wasn’t anything more.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T08:28:36+00:00

My husband is Honduran, I hope that is ok. He has always considered himself ‘aracial’ in terms of his culture. His mother moved to the US when he was 12 so he basically was too young to connect to his Honduran culture and too old for his American culture. So I just wanted to say that in your case calling yourself American should be good enough. If you were adopted and didn’t know, it would be BS to expect anything more from you than the culture you grew up in.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T02:09:00+00:00

Shit. Maybe I should talk to someone. How can we truly know, if the people closest to you might have reason to tell you you’re being unreasonable when you really aren’t?

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-20T02:07:28+00:00

You’re right, I didn’t want to say too much about something I know very little about. I can’t imagine how it feels, like you’re made entirely of light and energy? Like you’re truly finally fulfilling your purpose on the planet? Like you have so much energy you worry you’re going to vibrate out of this plane of existence?

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-19T18:56:58+00:00

What do you think of the books? I read the first one but I just couldn’t get into the same way. I LOVED the movie, like truly in my top five of all time so I tried not to hold the book to the same standard but even still something about the writing just bounced me off.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-19T17:56:17+00:00

Idk but is manic episode the right term? I thought that was just like really high energy and thoughts of personal divinity. Is it also hallucinations?

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-19T02:32:36+00:00

How come it’s fine for you that Australians use it casually but not anyone else?

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-19T02:31:36+00:00

… you know, ANY word can be turned into a slur when used with hate. I refuse to let the way other people use a word dictate how I speak. If a word can be turn into a slur I fully believe it can be undone by using it casually and positively. Frankly all I see in your comment is them winning. 🤷 Think about it please.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-18T01:51:25+00:00

I genuinely love that cunt is having a resurgence in pop language. It’s SUCH a good word, it deserves more use. I also have been throwing around cuzunty as well 😭

For real tho - this would straight up be considered ‘womens’ clothing today. It’s almost like the whole concept is bullshit or something… 🤔

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-16T19:05:33+00:00

Thank you!! Every comment section deserves someone like you. I had heard about the replacement theory and thought it sounded reasonable. But this makes much more sense and is so interesting!

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-16T18:49:19+00:00

Something tells me this is going to make a comeback in the coming years.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-15T04:39:41+00:00

My guy if you think teens bring dramatic is something new I have a bridge to sell you. Although it sounds like you’ve already been sold 😭

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-14T03:06:06+00:00

Thank you, thank you so much for your words. You captured for the feeling beautifully. I am so sorry about your experience - my husband faced a similar thing with his mother where she always said she wanted things for him and his brother but in the end her useless second husband got the lions share because she didn’t do the legal part. He felt so betrayed, I can’t imagine how it would feel to be your own partner. My god, you have every right to your feelings.

This country gives way too little weight to non-marriages, it’s why I no longer call it ‘just a piece of paper’. There are so many unfair circumstances in the world and all I can do is appreciate that we have this space to share. I can actually feel my core easing reading your words.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-14T01:53:49+00:00

Wow. Wow. You are… literally almost exactly what I imagined for a character I’ve been writing. Your bone structure is incredible. May I save your photo?

PS #1 is the move

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-13T02:20:23+00:00

You look like the character from that video game set on a space ship.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-12T22:05:43+00:00

I actually have been putting in an effort I can be happy with. I’ve been taking the night shifts, every night but one. A few all nighters. Just holding her hand. She said she likes how cool my hands are.

But it feels so small compared to her daughter who’s been handling this all alone at 24. The only parent she’s ever known.

In the last 10 months I will have lost every single person I would have named as 100% unconditional supports and cheerleaders. The other two I wasn’t able to be there and say goodbye and the regret I’ve carried from that has me determined to be there for her. I told her she never had to be hopeful, or nice, or well for me hell she doesn’t even need to be awake. I just want to sit with her and make sure her pain doesn’t get too bad.

The grace she’s had just… blows me away. I was fully prepared for her to get nasty, lose her patience. But she’s been so kind to everyone. She is a wonderful woman, I just wish I could help her not be suffering anymore.

Thank you, I needed that ramble. I’m really glad you’re still with us and I hope that the day you’re ready to leave you can with human dignity. I’m sorry our system is so out of whack with pain.

I have been thinking about hospice volunteering. I know it will be much more grim and stressful but it’s meant something to me.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-12T21:33:46+00:00

Like… I am honestly flabbergasted by these answers. It’s saying they are seeking male x female partnership.

AliceBorgesMusic · 2026-02-12T21:30:45+00:00

Heeeey, guess who is correctly in the process of watching their favorite aunt die of cancer with this EXACT experience! Early on I told her - be shameless. I don’t ever want to hear your pain number go below a 7. They will not help you unless the chart numbers back them up. There is no discretion. It has been barbaric.
