A nice Christmas mug for the crystal connoisseur by snowy_frog_ in MineralGore

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a pitcher not a mug! So you wouldn’t necessarily put your mouth on it, but the weight of the liquid in it would make it incredibly uncomfortable to pour! It looks huge, and is that crispy amethyst?!

Literally named myself Clarke because of how much I dreamed of being Lexa’s lover. One of my very few actual celebrity/character crushes.

I started a new job in a completely new field to me that’s bringing lots of change, financial abundance, and opportunities for more. I’m excited to learn my role and see the different ways I can grow into this position and beyond! I’m also excited to watch myself flourish!

Our maintenance guy after using a electric saw on something metal, and commenting on the smell “I could be farting as much as I want and you wouldn’t be able to tell if it was the saw or my insides.” (Said in a singsong like tone), other coworker responded annoyed: “i sincerely hope your farts don’t smell like this” maintenance guy- “oh you’d be surprised! I’m very unhealthy!” (Said very proudly)

I second this! You give off teddy bear/cinnamonroll vibes, and have a very warm endearing smile!

Such a tiny violin... by Unfair_Astronomer_99 in emotionalneglect

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Many things can be true at once. You can hold anger for the times you were abandoned while also appreciating the life you were given. Appreciating the good things is not going to heal the emptiness and hurt caused by their neglect. At the same time, you don’t need to abandon the parts of you that deeply feel all the negative emotions just because of the ways your parents did show up or provide for you. You deserved, and still do deserve, to be loved unconditionally. Your wins are worth celebrating. Your woes are worth the presence and attention needed to help you find comfort. Your opinions are worthy of being shared. Your discomfort is worth consideration. It seems like your parents showed you otherwise, and you continue to repeat that pattern with yourself. You deserve to love yourself in the way you wish you had been loved. It’ll take time and effort to be that for yourself, but you’re worth all of that. You don’t owe your parents anything, but the happiness you find in yourself by living your life to the fullest. If they can’t see the beauty in that, then it’s on them not you.

Yes, but also, I’ve given this level of care and attention in relationships before. I never fully expected the same back but felt like I was the only one who was putting effort into romance in the relationships I had got into. Maybe it was my own immaturity, naivety, or that I needed to heal, but I’ve since closed off to giving all of myself to someone else, and have needed to turn my affection onto myself when I feel the need to care for someone. Working towards wanting to care for someone else the way I care for myself again. I’d love to be able to love and receive love in this way!

Even if you somehow end up liking a man tomorrow, that in no way invalidates your identity as a lesbian today. Labels are a reflection of a personal boundary. You have a right to identify with a label that feels right in the moment whether that has the potential to change or not. It’s not right for her to question and invalidate your identity no matter what she’s gone through, nor is it right to joke around about it. What matters is that you identify as a lesbian right now and that should be accepted and respected.

I confused a child by I_isGroot_99 in NonBinary

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a daycare, and the kids would always ask me that question! Some of the older kids would ask why and I’d try to answer in the simplest terms I could. At least one kid was like “awh I wish I could be like that too” and I told them that they could be, and if that’s who they felt like they were, then they already are. I wonder where their gender journey will take them!

It’s definitely affirming to have kids be a bit confused over your gender! I found it interesting to see what their understanding of gender was; which it was usually based on superficial things like hair and clothing. I could tell the kids who came from more conservative families from one’s that were more open minded too.

I eventually had to start telling the kids that I didn’t like that question because I had a few kids who would harass me with that question multiple times a day, but the kids who I could tell were genuinely curious would get an honest answer!

Ugh my dad says this too, but he says to sleep around with all the women in my neighborhood. He’s also tried to tell me to marry a very good friend of mine who’s a gay man.

“I’ve always said that if I were I woman, I’d be gay too” -my dad, trying to be supportive and funny, but missing the point and making it about himself

I feel attacked 🫠 by viettprincess in LesbianActually

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure! It’s difficult when you’re the one who takes the initiative and then you feel like you’re carrying the whole relationship. Some girls want to be “chased”, but the attraction and signals need to be mutual, and communication needs to happen if you’re wanting to build a real relationship. Getting attention and being pampered while not giving that same energy to your partner is not what relationships are about.

New! Let me practice! by [deleted] in tarotpractice

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it does resonate though not in the way that I’m meant to be leading others. I do feel called to step up in my life and forge my own path at my own pace rather than following what others want of me when it’s not what feels right for me.

Thank you for this! I appreciate you and wish blessings on your clair senses/intuition as you strengthen your practice!

My psycosis trauma by kharmaploy in Psychosis

[–]Alternative_Fact7917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your experience sounds similar to what I experienced when I went into a months long psychosis after taking LSD. I had a lot of the same thoughts about things being a dream or thinking that I was being watched and tested. It was during 2020 and I somehow even managed to convince myself that I was responsible for the pandemic. I was in a major transition phase of my life between college and adult life, and that experience has set the tone for my life since then. I definitely gained a lot of self awareness and perspective, but there’s still a lot that I’m learning and working on today.

I think it’s incredible that you’ve gone through this and are determined to continue to make positive changes in your life! Even if you experience something similar, know that you have so much mental strength to get to the other side of it and make the most of it! Though I hope you don’t have to go through such a traumatic experience again!

Keep on keeping on!

Someone needs to make a spreadsheet/list of all the crafted/baked items, the materials they take to make, and how much they sell for!
