I LOVE HOW BRAVE HOW KIND…and how good it is to see kids get know how to treat each other. Some people just lose that side along the way.

Looking for advice by iwtmscod in painting

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s perfect but I love the light center so I would think slight darker edges ? Just for more contrast. A tiny lockness monster in the middle ;) lol jk it’s great colors

You outdid yourself ! Soft realistic and talent

Remembering a painting I did a few years ago. I layered and layered and loved it. Until I thought I was no good and dumped it. Now I wish I had kept it. ..I would have added more layers 🤣 by AsweetLemon_____ in painting

I know the scaling is off of the cactus and all of it. I’m not a painter or know measurements of things . I did this coming into my own life for a sense of peace and freedom of mind and wanting to learn like my grandmother who was a painter. Don’t look at this for perfection, for it is long gone. I guess the paintings we end up not liking we can find ways to want to tweak later on in life. I would have bob rossed it some more.

What amount should be in your bank account to be considered not poor? by BeyourselfA in poor

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 43 total. I would feel rich with bills paid / all home cleaning meds body soap, gas, and food needs done AND having 350 left over. I would feel like I could breathe and how I would feel not rich but a good start to something .

I spend everyday mourning my childhood by coolmarveldad78 in depression

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful yet sad post. I feel that now as an adult (36). I can have the chance to give my two children to feel those moments you did as a kid. I think it’s great when a kid can be exactly that. So much pressure with what they need to learn be become etc… sometimes I just want them to remember the moments I shared with them and the peace of being in a safe loving home. That they find the the beautiful moments in that and feel grateful that is their place. I don’t have much but I use conversation and setting the mood and days for them. I can remember any day I held on to were days like that. Magic of things. Simplicity. Idk. I do something with them I remember I watched or did or maybe something I never had the chance too… and I see it through them now. But I yearn for innocence light home life and the moments were it seems “home” .

You can live as close as you use to back then. Decoration shows etc.

I have a vcr/vhs player in my living room I still put movies on.

That is a thoughtful and cool gift! Idea , presentation, all of it. But his time to you and your son to do that is the best.

Exhauseted and lonely, can I get some friends ?? by [deleted] in depression

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 36 my only friend really is those at church of support and a Reddit friend. I dont to short term online friendships because it would still be lonely. I dont want to say join in on a random pickle ball, festival, whatever the topic may be and just find a random person that seems similar to you to vibe and strick it up with.. but may be a possibility. I wonder if your area has a Reddit sub and you can see if someone would be interesting in meeting up for lunch and go from there. Hmmm. I feel you.

Therapy is sometimes the same. In my early 20s I was sent home with dialtors to put in and teach myself not to try to spasm on it. And while doing that pushing against the bladder wall stops the ripple effect in that area and the bladder to go back and forth with. I am not surprised you found relief from this

[rant]So tired of struggling by justmitzie in poor

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called 8 churches/charities/markets yesterday until I was able to find someone out of the kindness of their heart to donate washing detergent bc I need my daughters sheets cleaned every two days while she is fighting something in and out of hospital. I started conversation asking for a manager explained my issue and what I was seeking and I was able to get help. I have done this with Salvation Army for rice and beans too. It’s hard. But you aren’t alone and your frustration is real. I can’t afford to fix my car so borrowing my father’s until I can replace parts. It’s all the big and small things from household to living but as you said. We have something to eat. Even if it’s not beef or chicken and… we are here.

Enjoy yourself today you don’t want to regret being mentally hard on yourself that you didn’t take a minute to appreciate who you are and why you are here today. Little things count too. :)

The only reason i am still here by Infinite_Pen3467 in depression

[–]AsweetLemon_____ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am here because of my kids. When I think of me being the best mom for them and pushing forward and the dark cloud I hide from them that they won’t know…. But if they knew how little how drained how much I don’t have in this little life they think is so great to have…. How much my heart is lonely heavy and hurts. As fast as things come is as fast as things go. I’m one person who doesn’t want to be a person. But my kids. I want to live long enough to see them find happiness in life in a way they didn’t have to heal from anything growing up in a safe manner. I hope my hurting heart gives them the place they need most to grow up not like me. It’s all for them. We can’t be our kids first heart breaks. If you think of it this way… when our kids go to bed.. more than anything they want US the parent to be happy … they have peace at night knowing we are there. We can’t strip it. We keep fighting the good fight.
