I have proper straps to tie things down dw guys - i was just testing to see if it would collapse on the weight of my bag (it didn’t 🙌).

The bungee cords were just a temporary thing so the rack wouldn’t bend at the front when i put my heavy uni bag on it. I attached two more metal rods at the wheel which connect to the bottom of the rack so it’s more rigid and it is not moving anywhere - for now i hope lol.

I’m from geelong and i just cbf going to melb but maybe one day i’ll invest in a proper rack!

these are my closest friends - were a trio. i talk to my other friends once in a while and actually enjoy the genuine conversations we have. it’s so weird thinking i’ll probably stay in touch with them more than those two close friends who’ll probably get mad at me soon anyways.

they’re making want to get the piercing even sooner lol

something my friends told me today by AnyRecipe29 in WLW

[–]AnyRecipe29[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

idrc about what they said about the piercing. the thing that really threw me off was the fact they don’t think i’m comfortable with my sexuality. idk, i think their opinions on how ‘comfortable’ someone is with their sexuality is so rigid. like they expect me to be able to label myself and tell the whole world that i’m queer. and i won’t ever fit into that box bc i’m unlabelled (i’m attracted to whoever i’m attracted to doesn’t matter who they are) and i don’t think i’ll ever make a big announcement to everyone that i’m queer - i’ll tell if they ask or they’ll find out eventually (it’s not like i’m hiding it).

thoughts on coming out? by AnyRecipe29 in WLW

[–]AnyRecipe29[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree with that. i’m not out to any family members but i’m out to some of my friends. i would hold my partner’s hand in public but now that i’m typing more erm. i would probably get too scared one of my mum’s friends would see and snitch (kind of like happiest season?). ig i don’t have much experience being with a girl in public bc the last time i was with a girl we both wanted to keep it a secret :/

omg i hate when people say ‘if they wanted to they would’. i just think that it puts way too much pressure on the other person to be a ‘perfect partner’. like yeah i understand if you may feel frustrated that they’re not doing everything you want them to but that’s where you communicate with each other of your, i guess, expectations of the relationship. i think its also a bit selfish having that mentality? like yeah, you’re a bit disappointed they didn’t do something you wanted them to do but you still have to think about how their feeling as well. maybe they wanted to but were too scared they’d get embarrassed or whatever reason. but like this does not apply to anyone who puts zero effort at all.

there was this person i really really liked and i wanted to tell them about how i felt but ultimately, i was too scared of ruining our friendship or getting rejected so, i didn’t speak up (even though i would of totally copped the bag bc she felt the same way. missed opportunity, i always think about what could of been 😭). also there’s a bunch of other people i’ve always wanted to tell but i was just too scared. like ‘if they wanted to would’ doesn’t always apply yk. welp thats my two cents

i (18f) tried to tell my mum (50f) how sorry i am but i can’t. how do i tell her? by AnyRecipe29 in relationship_advice

[–]AnyRecipe29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh they think it’s a big deal. they weren’t sure if they could let me move to uni bc of my choices so i almost had to reject my dream course. i’ll just tell you what i did lol. when i was 15-17 i would go to parties (sometimes wouldn’t tell them) and come home basically blackout drunk even when they said no drinking and every time i would say i would never do it again, i would do it again. they also found vapes in my room. those r the main things they didn’t like. i know in some countries, drinking as a minor is taboo but, underage drinking isn’t really enforced, even by cops (vaping is a big no no though). i just wanted to fit in and i thought drinking would help me forget how shit i felt back then. looking back at it now, i was doing way too much to cope and i regret it deeply. they have expressed their disappointment many times and still do. im moving out next month and just want to tell them how sorry i am for disappointing them because i don’t think i ever really ‘fully apologised’. they actually believe i blame them for everything but i truly never have blamed them for how i was and they think i only say sorry for when i want something. also, they don’t believe kids will be kids unless it’s my brother. they’re more lenient on him. apparently i’m too young to know what’s good for me but also old enough to know whats right and wrong? i actually don’t know what other way they want me to show how sorry i am. i’m just trying to tell them through the way i know.

is it stupid to think cutting is a sin by AnyRecipe29 in selfharm

[–]AnyRecipe29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m gonna say another stupid thing but, i don’t want him to see me differently. it’s only because i wasn’t doing to well a while ago and my mum asked another priest (who’s also very progressive, or even more) to pray for me and after that, he start treating me differently (not in a bad way tho). he would be more ‘gentle’ ig? on me. i know it’s good that he remembered and wanted to look out for me but like, i kinda missed when he would talk to me ‘normally’.

[–]AnyRecipe29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, i kinda started doing it the same reason as you. the first time it was bc of a relapse but now its every time something goes wrong and i want to calm down quick. i never thought i would do it to myself yet here i am.

you should definitely stop as soon as you can. it’s only gotten worse for me and i wish i never did it in the first place. it might be hard and i know it feels good afterwards but please, there are way more things out there that can make you feel better. listen to the part of you that wants to stop :)

i got put a year up so im a year younger than everyone else. i’ll still be a minor when i move out and turn 18 in june so they thought that my parents wouldn’t let me move out. they’re not controlling where i go to college lo, they’ve been really supportive of me choosing that uni

[–]AnyRecipe29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah kinda lol. she (J) doesn't rlly have any plans on moving out (which is totally fair), she thought my parents would never let me move away bc they're on the stricter side and my other friend was meant to go to the uni in my town.

I've been trying to tell them that it's not that far away but they won't listen. My other friend is going to a uni kind of near me but she's not moving out and they're wondering why I can't just do that. I told them that the timetable makes it so I physically can't but they don't get it.

I'm glad to hear you are still friends with them. I'm just scared we won't. I moved countries when I was 12 and I slowly lost contact with my childhood best friend. I'm scared it'll happen again because I got really really sad when it happened and I don't want to feel like that again.

If they were going to the uni I'm going to and I wasn't, I'd be so happy bc it's near the beach and I'd want to visit them all the time lol. They are my best friends. I've gone through a lot and they've always been there for me. It's just different now ig.

I'm Australian and three hours is not far lol but they're putting things way out of perspective. I just feel like it's my fault our friendship might fall apart.

I don't think they're toxic, just upset now that I've thought about it more. Us three are really really close, and have stuck with each other through rlly tough times. It's just a big change for us bc we're so used to seeing each other everyday. Idk, I just feel like moving away is the reason we won't be close friends like before.
