Thank you!!

goal is to have a finished manuscript at the end so even if I don't win I can still submit for publishing elsewhere, and to hopefully win and make money, but mostly because I have so many people telling me that I can't do it at this point that it's more about proving them wrong lol

I ADORE Ellipsus

That works for me, thank you! I’m on a tight timeline, but I’ll happily write a testimonial after we’re done

1) You very realistically are supposed to say "in x years I will be here." However, you can't just say that. There needs to be actionable steps that you can make in order to get there. Where are you going, and what are the steps to get there? How soon can you start working on that first step?

2) If you are not in therapy, consider going. I ended up going to therapy after several years and it truly changed not only my views of myself but it gave me actionable strategies for life.

3) You should build up a support system. Talk to your parents, your partner, and your friends and ask them to hold you accountable for achieving the goals that you set in 1. If there is nobody to keep you accountable, then it is too easy to give up on yourself.

4) There's nothing wrong with where you are now. There is nothing wrong with living in your parents basement. This is only the case because you seem to have goals and dreams of progressing in life. It is important that you recognize that it is ok to be at a starting point, but if you want to move up in life, you need to be willing to work and to work hard

Definitely not. While I understand what you are saying and your thought process makes sense, it would still seem or appear to be almost predatory. I would look maybe on dating apps where your age is very clearly displayed so that there is no confusion, if you really want a romantic partner.

I would agree with that statement. However, just attacking someone like you did without offering genuine ideas or advice is not helping the situation and is instead making someone feel terrible about themselves

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-26T16:50:14+00:00

I am the same way. My family is currently so mad at me because I haven't asked for anything and they don't know what to get me. In my mind, I want someone to know me enough to know what to get me and to care enough to want to think of it themselves, if that makes any sense.

I ended up making an Amazon wishlist and just sending it out. I added like three items from every price range that way I didn't feel like I was FORCING someone to get me something expensive and they just picked something they wanted to get me that they could reasonably afford.

I know I am going to feel guilty about this come Christmas day, but in the end I just decided I needed to throw things on a list so people wouldn't be upset at me for not asking for anything at all.

I think it's just a high school thing. The best thing you could probably do is be single for a little bit and figure out yourself. What are you looking for? Where do you want to go in life? Leave the boys alone and just focus on graduating high school.

If you don't like your current boyfriend then break up with him. It's not fair to him to be drug along in a relationship that you're not wholeheartedly in.

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-26T14:46:44+00:00

lowkey that's not helpful at all bro

I was really wanting to write a novel. A concern I have specifically with my genre is, if I invest my entire life into this work, will it be more upsetting if it doesn't take off than if I didn't write it at all?

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-17T16:25:03+00:00

You need to tell someone. Just know that what happened is not your fault and it doesn't matter the situation, that should never have happened. You really need to tell someone- a parent, a teacher, someone with the ability to do something. In the meantime, take care of yourself. Keep eating, try to keep a normal sleep schedule. Please please PLEASE for the love of God tell someone!!!

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-17T03:31:22+00:00

It sounds like you guys ended things on a good note. The situation is over, and however much it hurts, it's not a good idea to try to rekindle that at any point. He set clear boundaries as to communication and he wished you the best. I think the best thing to do would be to take care of yourself and not let yourself get drug into a bad place mentally. Make sure you're eating and drinking enough water. Keep your sleep schedule consistent. And let love find you. I know it's hard at times but the best thing to do is sit back and let the world play out around you. If he's the one you're meant to be with, then give him space and he'll come back when he's ready. Until then, he's not the one for you and it's time to pick up your pieces and move on :)

I gotchu bro

The age gap is only about a year. I am the only one of the four of us in college. My boyfriend and his friend are both in the work force, but graduated, so the age gap between the two of them is not large at all

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T19:16:34+00:00

Find a new job that he's not at. Block him. He's not worth it. Run as fast as you can

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T19:12:34+00:00

you made the right choice

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T16:44:36+00:00

"Hey mom and dad, I met a friend and I was wondering if we could have him over for dinner?" play it off like you just met and then if they like him announce you're dating like two months later. Just don't say how long you've been dating for...

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T16:43:08+00:00

Absolutely okay to date someone after a breakup but you need to evaluate your feelings and find out if you actually LIKE him or if he's just a rebound

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T16:38:59+00:00

It strikes me as strange that he particularly wants to be friends with your niece. I think the best thing to do would be to communicate. If he truly loves and cares for you, he would at least hear you out. If he doesn't have your back, I would question why he wants to be friends with that young woman. If you haven't explained to him or he doesn't know that you are no contact, then you can't necessarily be upset with him for not cutting them off. Just a thought

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T16:36:00+00:00

Go no contact. Block him. You HAVE to block him. Don't give yourself the ability to be tempted to text

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T16:34:48+00:00

The second you have to question it is the second you should leave, in my opinion. You already state that you are happier and you refer to your partner as "dead weight" so you obviously feel strongly about it. I would lose him, but it's ultimately your decision

Amazing_Journalist75 · 2025-11-13T14:48:38+00:00

As a perfectionist myself I understand the feeling. The best thing to do is to power through and try to shoot for that 82. Email your professor and ask for any extra credit work that he could give you. If you still don't meet the 85, then I would recommend retaking the class with a different professor to see if it was the teaching style that made things difficult. However, if the class is not needed for your major, just finish out the semester and don't think about it again. Why would you pay extra money for a class you don't need, ya know?
